THE DEEP CREEK BOOM.


Salt Lake Tribune we take the fol-
lowing mining notes, which refer
particularly to the mining districts in
Eastern White Pine that are sure to
feel the impulse of the Deep Creek
boom:
EAGLE DISTRICT,
Located on Kern mountain, promises
TO be one Of the big producers of rich
ores. 1t is twenty-five miles south
west of Deep Creek or Ibapah post
office. John Tippetts, the recorder
of the district, has been there seven
years prospecting and holding on to
his claims, and only last week he
came to this city and sold half in
terest in his forty claims for
good round price, partly In money
and partly in development work TO
be done on the claims. He has been
taking out enough ore to keep him
going during these years, while he
patiently waited for the coming of q
railway or cheaper transportation.
His Harrison mine, located in gran
ite, has been the chief shipper from
vein three to six feet wide and car
rying ore that goes from 800 to 500 OF.
silver. His tunnel ran 100 feet on
the vein and in ore all the way except
the first ten or fifteen feet. His
Anna, on which he has a shaft sixty
feet down, has yielded 100 tons In the
past that yielded ore up to 900 ounces
/ ali IN rntN cd 20
wide, is one half rich and The other
half will pay well If reduced by a
mill, being chloride ore cannot be
concentrated without great loss. His
Paymaster has ore up to $50 ounces
silver and rs per cent lead with some
iron. The vein is ten or twelve feet
wide. Then he has a number run
ming lower n silver and some which
run high in copper.
The Henriod boys. who have sew
eral claims there, have just made a
big strike OF two to six feet of fine
galena ore.
Mr.. Karrick of this city received
samples Of ores last week from his
claims there which went per cent
lead and As ounces silver from a vein
eighteen to twenty-four inches wide,
and from another the assay was 20
ounces silver, milling ore. Some ore
sent in from strike In Eagle district
from claim belonging to the Mid.
land Investment Company, gave an
assay equal to 81 per pound in ore,
this in gold and silver, while a pick
ed sample from claim belonging to
I. &. Karrick assayed In gold $271, :
81 81. But the prospector must not
expect to find many tons of sHch
wealth as this lying around loose in
age OF the world, and these instances
of small samples are given are rari-
ties to show that there are some rich
specimens in that country.
John Tippetts tells of himself and
w. ID. Mallory starting to follow up
badger hole and being led fifty feet
through soft carbonate ore all the
way to find that it was big vein with
over fifty feet between the walls, one
being lime, the other quartzite. This
find, on which they have sank fifteen
feet in ore, has not been assayed yet
10 find its value.
WHITE CLOUD DISTRICT
Is ten or fifteen miles south of Eagle
across the desert, and on the north
end of Mount Moriah. Here are big
lodes of galena with rich streaks of
silver. The mountain is high and
covered with float, but the mines so
far discovered are at the foot. There
is no water and the camp is idle now.
PIERMoNT,
Twelve mile west, has q big stream
of water in the canyon, the district is
large, vein mostly in lime, ore good
milling and timber abundant.
Is north six or seven miles on the
same range. The ores are mostly
lead and silver with some copper.
This district shows lots of ore. Mr..
Cameron has fine copper mine there.
RUBY HILL
Is on the same range and has some
very rich mines. Tiffany owns one
that has yielded ore that sold for
$500 to 81 900 per ton, and the Brooks
Brothers of Boston had good prop.
erty on which they sank $50 feet and
got rich ore, and but for the death of
the owners the mine would be pro-
ducing now.
SILVER CANYON.
At Aurum Messrs. Davis & Sanford
have a fine mine which they have
