DEEPCRBEK SHELTER
Shell & Wampler Have the Plans
for a Big Plant.
A RlGHT-OF-WAY PARTY Is OUT
The Rio Grande Looking Up q Line and
Bacon Said to Have His Hand
on the Money.

The excitement over the Deep Creek
mines, which swept over the entire country
three months ago, but quoted down for q
spell, is again blowing lively gale.
A party Of men, presumably in the inter
est OF the Rio Grande Western, have been
seen in the country working west from
that place. This, in connection with many
other movements OF that road looking to-
wards an extension of the Provo-Tintic
line into the Deep Creek country.
Mr.. Bacon is also quietly working to
complete his scheme, and several large
capitalists have been here for no other pur-
pose than to consult Mr.. Bacon in regard
TO this project. 1t has been repeatedly re-
ported on the street that MIR. Bacon had
completed his negotiations and that the con-
tract had been let for grading the line.
These rumors rather anticipate that which
is as yetin its negotiatory period. The
facts are, that when Mr.. Bacon went
east his eastern correspondents assured
him that the necessary capital would be
forthcoming a. soon as there was an i'm
provement in the tone Of the money mar
kst Since that time Mr.. Bacon has had
assurances that there had been marked,
yet not very decisive change in the none
tary condition and that il one or two con-
be removed there would be no difficulty in
floating bonds for the Deep Greek road.
g. d. Shell, however, pins no faith in
any railway being built to that country,
and his disgust over the stage line stopping
short of the Nevada line is also of q very
virulent order. He in connection with
Judge Wampler hold vast interests in the
Dugway country and are trying to work
out their own DESTINY.
Judge Wsmpler has been absent from
the city for weeks and he has talked the
merits Of the Deep Creek country so
strongly that he has convinced
q number Of Chicago capitalists that mil
lions lie in sight and only need a smelter
on the spot TO realize enormous profits.
The Judge writes his partner, Mr.. Shell,
that he has about closed with q company
that will build a sampler, concentrator and
furnaces in the Deep Greek valley. The
fine growth Of pinion pine in the Snake
river valley IL is proposed to use for making
charcoal, and this will be used in the fur
naces instead Of coke, thus enabling the
company TO smelt its ores without the ne
cessiiy Of freighting the fuel The output of
the mill will be hauled to Toano, on the Cen
trail Pacific line, which is but so miles from
Deep Creek. 1t is also proposed to build a
stage line from Toano, and q number of Cal
ifornia gentlemen recently passed over the
proposed route for the line. California
merchants and the shelters of the coast
are interested in drawing the output of the
Deep Creek country west rather than allow
it to go to the smelters in this city, Pueblo,
Denver, Omaha and Kansas City.
Prof. Wolfe, who spent some time in
Deep Creek and visited every mine in the
several camps, is now making out a report
of the country to some eastern capitalists
in whose service he is engaged. Prof.

neers of the country and thorough metal
