Below we give partial list of the mines
that will become producers this summer,
many OF which are well known among min
ing circles as having been large shippers in
the past. There are also many new pros
poets that will become producers in the
near future that now show large veins of
rich ore. We have reason to believe that
soon American Fork canon will take its
place among the great silver producing
camps of Utah.
There is much interest manifested
about Miller Hill in American Fork district
where there is great central mineral re-
gion as claimed by many.
The Treasure Consolidated Gold and
Silver Mining company was organized last
spring to develop their property, consisting
of four mines near the once great Miller
mine. This company has for its officers
John Chapman, president; Edward Winn,
vice. president; Washburn Chapman, sec
rotary and treasurer, and these with John
Chadwick. Peter Adamson and S. Chip
man form the board of directors. Their
mines are the Treasure, Memo, Dolphin
and Oliver The Treasure has 600 feet of
workings and has produced considerable
rich ore. 1t is intended to drive ahead the
lower tunnel to cross-cut the vein at a
depth Of $50 feet, and the work done the
past year was driving that tunnel which is
now in 400 feet. All four claims will be
a
three-foot vein between lime and quartzite.
1t has small pay streak, and much milling
ore of chloride Of lead and silver
The American Fork Gold and Silver Min
ing company did considerable work on their
claims known as the Flora, New Idea, Os-
born, Osborn No 2, Wild Dutchman, Wild
Dutchman Extension, and Security, each
60Oxl5O0 feet. The Flora has surface ore
that runs go to 80 silver and 25 to 30 per
cent. lead, it being chloride and galena.
The vein is three feet, and while the ground
is patented only sample shipments have
been made from it and the cuttings only
amount to $50 feet. The New Idea has $50
feet cuttings on vein varying from eight
to twenty-three feet, with two to five feet
OF frst-class, while the balance concen-
trates three or four into one, producing
concentrates worth $50 to So This is car
Donate and galena. The Osborn is similar
to the New Idea, and has been opened bv
tunnels 300 feet, shafts 1886 feet. Osborn
No. 2 has two shafts sixty and seventy feet
deep on vein averaging four feet of scat
tered but very rich ore, some running as
high as GOO ounces silver in chloride form,
while there are spots Of galena running IS
per cent. lead.
The Wild Dutchman will once more be-
come big producer, as in former DAYS. 1t
has retimbered for about eight hundred
feet, and is now ready to begin shipping.
The MIX Maid is another property from
which large quantities of ore have been
taken, such as runs twenty six ounces of
silver and 40 per cent lead. Work had to
be stopped because of water, and now a
tunnel is in progress to tap it down 400
feet below the bottom of the shaft. This
tunnel is $50 feet At the bottom of the
old works there was sixteen inches pay ore.
The Northwestern Silver Mining com
pany, Chicago incorporation with S. Os-
born president and manager, owns the Chi
cago and Superior on Mill hill. Work was
done towards cutting tunnel on the Chi
cago TO tap the vein down 300 feet. The vein
is six feet wide, with carbonates running
from forty TO ninety ounces silver and %
to 50 per cent. lead.
The Superior has 5-foot vein about the
same quality as the Chicago, which has
been developed but little, but it is their in
tention to push work in the spring.
The Kalamazoo was bonded last year for
$1,000 and will become regular shipper
this summer.
it is reported that the owner of the ia
nous Miller mine will resume work this
spring. II the report be true, American
Fork viii ship more high-grade ore than
any camp in the territory.
