many of which have been worked in years
gone by, and were only abandoned on account
OF lack of railway facilities.
AT SPRING CREEK
Messrs. karrick, Dooly g. Mcnamara have
lately made some very rich discoveries, and
development work is steadily going on. The
better ore bodies there are found in lime and
some carry large per cent of lead and run
very high in silver. Among the rich properties
are the Montana, Boston. Mahogany No. l. Ma
hogany No. ,. Assays from the latter have
shown from 300 to 100 ounces of silver. The
Muldoon, owned by Harvey Hardy is a new
find, and is considered one of the best in the
district.
JoHNsoN's PEAK
district is located about ten miles southwest of
Spring creek, and here, also, Messrs. Karrick
Dooly, Bounelt and others have some very
promising properties. On some of them devel-
opment work is being pushed; large bodies OF
rich ore are being opened up, the rock going
very high in lead and silver Spring Creek and
Johnsons Peak are bound to be among the
largest producers of the Deep Creek country
The ore is free milling and easily smelted.
EAGLE DISTRICT
is attracting considerable attention from Salt
Lakers also. The Well Annie Mining company
recently organized in Salt Lake, will operate at
Glenco, in this district. The incorporators are;
Oscar II. Hardy, Jesse w. Hardy, j. H. Watts
j. L. Nebeller, George Burton, w. L. N. Allen,
Jr., H B. Clawson, jr., Elias Morris, George
Romney, jr., w. j. Burton, S. M. Barlow,
George Swan Henry Tribe, j. Wash Young,
Charles Auer, j. L. Laird w. B. Hardy, Z. NJ

Young w. ]. Tuddenham, c. j. Brain, G. E.
Ford, w. T. Noall George Curley, w. T. Pow
Ter, Mrs. Alice Butterworth, Heber Young,
William Fuller and a few others.
The company controls thirteen claims in
Eagle-the Well Annie, Nellie, Pook, Miny,
Harrison, Ella, Fera s., Amanda, Mary, Nora
Union Flag, Monitor and Glencoe on all of
which developments to the extent of ST. 900
have been made. The Well Annie, Nellie,
Pook and Miny claims are all situated on one
six thousand foot vein and the most extensive
work has been done here. consisting of severa
small drifts and shafts, a cross cut tunnel 220
feet long run to tap the vein and forty foot
tunnel run in on the vein, which is a true assure
vein in granite, running from two feet to six
feet in width, with pay streak from eight to
twenty inches in width, the ore from which av-
erages 165 ounces silver. When the tunnel that
Is run IN on the vein is completed the company
will have from 5000 to 5000 feet of stopping ground
running 800 feet above 10 the apex of the noun
tain. The vein covered by the Ella and Har-
rison is the same formation as the Well Annie
vein and a tunnel has been run in on the vein
into the mountain 10 feet and shows up fine
body of ore. The pay streak in this vein as.

is covered by the Fera S.. in which

done on the other Mines except the necessary
assessment work, though all show continuous
veins OF good ore. Messrs. Tippett and Aria
D. Young have entered into an agreement with
the other stockholders of this company to place
$4,000 worth of ore on the dumps before March
l, 1892 If this contract is carried out, teaching
works will be Immediately put up by the com
pany and the best of machinery Will be procured
to work the mines. From the great bodies of
ore already in sight it can be said with safety
that the mines Will show unlimited quantities o.
ore when they are sufficiently opened up Seven
of these claims were located by John Tippett, a
half interest in which was bought by Arta D.
Young, the rest of the claims being located by
these gentlemen in common. There is plenty
of water and timber on the claims and most OF
them are conveniently situated for shipping
purposes, and can be worked economically.
Considerable ore has been shipped from Glencoe
10 this city in years gone by, the great value of
the rock guaranteeing the long wagon and rail
way bodybuilding after paying heavy trans
portatfon and other charges, from 800 to 5000
per ton.
Three miles west from Glencoe is

on which Harvey Hardy and others have some
very promising claims. The ore is all free mill.
ing and smelling, running as high as 1,OOC
ounces in silver and 80 per cent. lead Harvey
and Bews have four men at work, and there is
every reason 10 believe they will open up some
good mines.
At the foot of Shellbourn mountains is
AURUM,
where is the Davis and SANFORD mine, in which
was recently made strike of six feet of ore
| assaying 125 ounces silver, which is found in
iron, with scarcely sufficient lead to smelt
easily On the dump there are 500 tons of ore
carrying 90 ounces silver.
MUNCY CREEK

in abundance, plenty of timber for mining pur.
poses, and the most extensive deposits of lead
and copper ore carrying a large percentage of
silver. The mineral belt can be traced south
west over the range to and beyond Deep Creek.
