the advent of the iron horse into that
section. The country west of Salt
Lake, through which railway must
pass on it's way to the Coast. has
scarcely been scratched by the hardy
miners pick. That it is full of untold
natural wealth is beyond question.
One of the resources, other tnan that
of mining. is the immense deposits of
marble found Lear Deep Creek. 1t is
of two colors-one a pure white, the
other with soft grey veins running
through, giving it unique and hand
some appearance. The supply is said
to be almost inexhaustible.
With railway facilities, Deep Greek
must come to the from, and reward the
plucky Salt Lakers and others, who have
had tue courage to stand by their con-
victions as to lis future.

Bull on Beck.

The history of this famous property
familiar to everyone. For years, it
dragged out an existence, due first, il
great measure, to lack of capital with
which to develop it, and later by the
litigation referred to above. Since it
has been in the hands of the California
syndicate, however, both of these OBJ
stacles have been removed, and under
the direction of that old and genial
COmstock miner, Hank Smith, affairs
have taken on an entirely different ap
pearance. He is very sanguine of the
great future in store for this property,
and is anxiously awaiting orders to
sink deeper. So far, the fifth level
only has been reached, but the miles
and miles of underground workings
give the visitor some idea OF the amount
Of wealth the mine has contributed to
the world. There are those who are
sanguine enough to believe that the
BuIIion-Beck will soon rank among the
leading ore-producers in the world
not in tonnage alone, but also in the
value of the ores mined. 1t is no longer
a secret that some very rich ore has
been struck within the past few weeks,
and while the exact figures have not
been given to the public, it is safe to
say that they are of the most encour-
aging proporti ons, and cannot fail to
have a most inspiriting effect upon the
stockholders of the company. 1t is
more than probable that the coming
spring will see a great revolution at the
Bullion-Bsck, in the shape Of new hoist.
ing works, ore houses, and other i'm
proyements that may suggest them
selves. One valuable acquisition re
Gently made is in the shape of plenti-
full watsr supply, which is brought
from the hill tops a mile and a hall
away. A small spring bubbling from
the hillside, in granite formation, wa!
noticed, and the idea advanced that il
might be developed by tunnel. Ac
cordingly, a tunnel of satisfactory
dimensions was run into the hillside
and the mouth then closed by bulk
head, forming one of the cleanest anC
coolest reservoirs in the world, entirely
protected from all vegetable or othe
matter. From this to a distance o
about 1900 feet from the mine, tn
water is conveyed by a one-and-a half
inch pipe to the top of hill, which i
several hundred feet higher than tn
hosting works; here it empties into
solidly CONSTRUCTED tank, and from tn
tank inch pipe conveys the water Il
ell parts of the Bullion Beck property
affording ample protection from fire
and a saving to the company of $40
per month. The spring supplies con
aiderably more water than the compan
now has use for, but as Hank Smit
remarked: There is nothing like pro
viding for contingencies" In the un
derground workings, somewhere abou

Angeles would ere this have been puff

gave stimulus, year ago, to mining
activities in Deep Greek, and showed up,
to greater extent than ever before, the
wonderous possibilities of this now
isolated region. The several mining
districts included in the Deep Greek
country are the Deep Greek. the Kings
lev, the Dolly Warden, Clifton and the
Thurber. In Thurber there are some.
where near 100 mines and prospects, all
varying in depth and quality OF the
ore extracted. Thurber is located on
the border line between Utah and
Nevada, and with railroad facilities,
such as must come ere long, bids fair
to become a second Leadville. Such, at
least. is the opinion of Professor Glib
son, and other mining men who have
made thorough inspections. The
greater proportion of the ore found,
however, is of low grade, and but few
men are employed. In the Dolly
Warden district, the ores generally ars
of a higher grade. At Cherry Creek
there are pro badly $50 mining claims,
many OF which are first-class. One
mine the Star, has in the past produced
over 1000 600. In this district, Lewis
Martin owns several properties.
In Clifton District are located the
properties of the Florence Mining
Company. Clifton is neatly laid out
little town, containing a population OF
about fifty. The climate is somewhat
similar to that of Salt Lake, aud the
snowfall is comparatively light, COM
pared with that of the average mining
| camps perched, as most of them are,
upon the hill tops and at high alti-
tude. The Florence Company owns
some eighteen mines in all-in various
stages of development. The forma-
ton is granite, and experts say the ore
greatly resembles that found at Granite
Mountain, Mont. The ore taken out
assays all the way from $40 to 500 pei
ton, and picked specimens go still
higher, of course. Some few shipments
have been made during the year-some

Inspecting Old Mines.

Allen G. Campbell, the Well-known
mining operator, is buried in the desert
at some point about fifty miles south
west of Los Vegas. and near the line
separating California and Nevada.
where he is inspecting a group of old
mines, said to have been worked by
the Mormons many years ago, when
the ore was reduced by the aid of q
trying pan and a camp fire. The ores
are principally lead, although the per
centage of silver is said to be suffici-
ent to warrant the Mr.. Campbell
in holding on to what he considers a
good thing. These mines are said to
be located not lar from the proposed
route of the Utah Central to the coast.
At present, however, their isolation is
so complete as to make the idea of
shipping ore entirely out of the ques-
ton,

Queen of the Hills.

Mr.. Conklin reports his Wood River
property as making an excellent show
ing. He has, however, shipped but
little ore during the past year-merely
enough, he says, to pay for working
the mine. A great deal of exploration
and dead work has been done. The low
rate on ores from that section of the
country. have had a depressing effect
upon the Queen. out the sanguine hopes
of the owners will doubtless be realized
ere long.

The Warrior.

This property, situated about ten
miles from Ketchum, near the upper
Warm Springs, is owned by John and
James Sharp, of this city, and B. Y.
Hampton, Jr., Utah boy, who now
calls Idaho his home. Mr.. Hampton
owns one-third interest, and has leased
from the Sharps the remaining two
thirds. Work has been prosecuted
during the summer with the result that
the mine is now in a most satisfactory
condition, and holds out very fattering
prospects,

The Morning Star.

The Morning Star is another outside
property owned by Utah parties. It's
situate in Kingsley District, Nevada,
and but for the distance from railway
lines, would be a heavy and steady
shipper into this city. The ore runs
high in lead and silver, and the mine
may be looked upon as most valuable
property. The regret is that, from its
location, it should, Of necessity, be
classed with the many other rio mines,
only awaiting cheaper transportation to
transform them into diyidend-paying
properties.
