MAP OF THE DEEP CREEK co

opened 1,500 feet in which there are twelve
shafts, from twelve to forty feet deep.
Several tons of this ore has been hauled by
wagon nearly one hundred miles and was
sold at S51 ton.
A. M. Cannon is running tunnel to tap
the vein in the Rather mine at depth of
500 feet, and we are waiting anxiously to
see the results. He has five men working.
The Rather is situated about three miles
westerly from where Gilson's camp is es-
tablished, and the lead and other veins can
be traced from one camp to the other. 1t
is too bad that we cannot ship 30 per cent.
lead and II ounces with an iron gauge.
Such ore in Bingham would be considered
fair shipping ore. Should railroad ever
come here, this will probably be- the great
lead camp in Utah There is plenty of IN
explored ground here, but parties that have
been here, should they fail to strike it rich
the first day or SO, go on with the
food for Deep Creek.
THE BoBTAIL
has had 81 900 worth of work done on the
claim, and William l.. Mills owns half in
terest in the mine. One-half a mile west of
the Bobtail is the Francis and Ben Harri-
son mines.
MONO NO.
is located southwest of the Silver King,
distant three miles, and displays galena ore
at the grass roots for long distance. 1t
runs about fifteen ounces in silver and from
90 to 90 per cent. in lead. Among the new
discoveries the Monarch mine is in the
same locality, considerable more has been
done, considering its youth. The product
runs % per cent. lead and thirteen ounces
in silver.
BEN HARRISON.
Diertly & Gibson have acquired the own
ership of this valuable property and the ore
body is so large that the walls have not
been reached. 1t Is low grade mine, the
assays showing is per per cent. lead, i've
ounces in silver and good showing of cop
per.
The Minnie Moore. owned by Stebbins
and Phelps. Assays show 81 lead lO2
ounces silver, 81 gold. The gauge is COP
per and iron in quartz formation.
The Cobalt, operated by j. Cleghorn and
Allen Hall, of Bingham Junction, is an iron
ore, carrying 81 per cent. iron and 81
ounces silve, very desirable ftux.
THE VIRGINIA
was the first patented claim in Dugway.
and is owned by J. L. Hardin, which has
assayed as high as 500 ounces in silver.
FISH SPRINGS DISTRICT.
The most notable prospects in the dis
trict are the Galena and Emma. The for
mer claim is owned by Messrs. Chapman,
Grant, Par and Van Alstine, Chapman and
Grant owning 1850 feet of the lode and
Parr aud Van Alstine $50 feet. Messrs.
Chapman and Grant own 800 feet and James
Preston and L. kilkowsky own 500 feet
each of the Emma lode
Thirty thousand pounds of the Galena ore
were lately shipped, and there
are about ten tons more on the
dump. The Emma has also about ten
tons on the dump, but no shipments have
as yet been made from it.
The Galena shaft is fifteen feet deep and
has four foot vein of ore, with six inches
of horn silver ore next to tale on foot wall
The Emma shaft is six feet down on the
vein, which is about two feet in width
The ore bodies lie between lime and por
phyry-the hanging wall is lime.
If the vein holds out, and the present in
dications are that it will, the owners of the
Galena will be able to employ from fifty t.
one hundred teams steadily hauling ore.
Messrs. Chapman and Grant are also in
terested in many other claims which show
equally as well IS the Galena and Emma
and will push development work on them
as rapidly as possible.
Ore has been taken from some of these
claims which can make Sam ellison
ashamed OF his, much talked of bonanza
Any person doubling the value of the ore
can be convinced of its worth by calling a.
Mr.. James 1Chipman's Office, American
Fork, where he will be shown the silver a.
lit is taken from the mines.
