the Bullionville or Ohio and Mount BaIdy dis
ticts, situated on the west and south of Marys-
vale proper. Marysvale was mining camp as
early as 1852, when party of Mormons came in
ard settled on the fertile farm lands The In
diaus were very troublesome however and
until 1867 very little, if any, but farming and
prospect work was done, the Indians having
completely cleared the camp about two years
prior to this time.
In 1868 Mr.. Jacob Hess of Mant1 with a party
of prospectors pushed up in the BulhonviiIe
canon and among other prospects located the
Bully Boy which has produced ore in paying
quantities more or less ever since. The early
settlers located in the canyon west OF the pres
ent site. thinking the protection of the hills
would afford relief from the Indians Thew
soon after removed to the more open and
milder climate down where they are now To-
Gated and Bullionville was abandoned The
relics Of this camp ara plainly seen to-day. In
the early days Development work was neces-
sarily limited, on account Of transportation
facilities, which even to-day are so very limited

camps in the west. the mine owners are now
only waiting the advent Of this much-desired

outlay of $500 to secure this and were there any
question in the minds of the patentees as to
the quality OF the investment we may be sure
they would not plank down this much cash in
an idle venture.

this capacity, but preparations are being made
to increase this capacity to Is tons per daT.

April l. 1892, when work will be in good shape
for operations on a large scale. The ore shows
regular milling assay of $50 in gold and silver,
and there is considerable ore on the dump. All
operations, except drifting and developments

power of S0horse. During the past season
they have been running about eight tons per

ore per month and two tons of concentrates
