This is a most remarkable showing for new
mine, and there is every reason to believe the
Crismons have a second Ontario in the Utah.
Whether the mine will hold out when depth is
reached, is yet to be determined, but there are
good reasons to believe that richness and
quality will increase as depth is attained.
AT CLIFTON
there is also a remarkable showing Several
OF the properties have shafts down 100 to 300
feet while in many cases assessment work only
has been done. There are not less that 500
promising claims in Clifton. which has de-
veloped INTO quite little village during the
past few years. Assays have been made of the
ore found in Clifton district which go all the
way from 10 TO 200 ounces in silver and 10 to
90 per cent. lead. Considerable develop
ment work was done early in the
year, in anticipation that the road would have
reached the district this fall and the ore is now
on the dumps of the various mines. J.
Woodman. G, D. Shell, w. J. Lemoyne, New
ton Dunyon, T, W. Wampler and few others
own the greater portion of the claims already
located, but they are all free to say tn ere is
plenty of other good ground which has vet to be
touched by the pick-hammer of the prospector
An average of the assays mace of Clifton ore
during the excitement of last spring was 10 per
cent lead 30 ounces silver and s. gold
One great drawback to Clifton has been a lack
Of water but Mr.. Woodman and others have
solved this problem by sinking a shaft at Gold
Hill TO the depth of $50 feet and drifting into the
hill $50 feet where a good flow OF water was en-
countered and it rises to within ten feet of the
shaft in quantity to supply all demands for
mining milling and culinary purposes. On Gold
Hill Mr.. Woodman and others are working a
large force of men, sinking shafts and running
drifts, preparatory TO putting the proper
ties in proper shape They will do a
great amount Of work the coming spring
when stamp mill will be put up. The ores
are free milling, and very strong veins are
shown everywhere. MIR. Goldsmith has some
good properties, one of which has a shaft 300
feet deep opening into siX-foot ledge of ORE
assaying 40 per cent. and as high as 100 per
cent in silver. On the same vein there are
other similar locations, the ore being distinctly
traced for several miles.
AT DUTCH MOUNTAIN,
which is in Clifton district the character of the
ore changes. There are large bodies of lead
carrying considerable silver, the whole coun-
try for miles being covered with lead float
THE DOLLY WARDEN DISTRICT.
there is one of the greatest copper mines in the
entire west 1t is patented and owned by a
silver-lead ore are also encountered there The
whistle of the locomotive will awaken second
Anaconda.
A short distance to the north of Dugway is a
group OF mines owned by Angus NJ
Cannon, OF this city, in which he has
expended considerable money, and the
Rather has made several shipments. A
tunnel is being run to tap the Rather at a
depth Of 500 feet, ann the most encouraging re-
suits are confidently expected.
KINGSLEY
is an old district from which much ore has
been taken Here is located the famous
Morning Star the stock of which is
mainly controlled by Salt Lake parties.
This mine has produced ore in the
past rich enough to guarantee 90 mile haul TO
Toano. on the Southern Pacific, and then by
rail to this city.
is the Gilligan mine, which was discovered in
1868. and from il millions of dollars of ore has
been extracted; it merely needs transportation
facilities Ito again start up both mines and
shipments.
CHERRY CREEK
district is also very rich in mineral deposits,
