EUREKA NUGGETS.
Mean Trick-MiniDg Prospects not
Favorable for Poor Men.

The continued pleasant weather has started
several parties prospecting in the hills north of
Eureka. The rocks are left clean by the melt
ing SHOWS and any discoloration can be readily
seen. 1t is the belief of the many experts who
have examined the country between Eureka and
Rush valley that the ore vein was continuous
through the hills and great mines would be de-
veloped along its course in time. 1t appears the
time is Close men with means are directing
their energies northward and many thousands
Of dollars will be expended there this season.
Captain DeprlZen, a pioneer and successful
prospector of Tintic, is on the grand jury at
Provo. He says he is often approached by
visitors TO Utah for information regarding
our wonderful mines. A gentleman was ad-
vised 10 invest in North Tintic stock. Con
Guiding to do so the intending investor wrote to
broker n Salt Lake who, by the way. was an
oftlcer OF the company, and sports double
regarding the property, and received in an
swer letter that gave the North Tintic stock
terrible black eye. but advised the querist to
buy Tetro stock. The advise, as far as Tetro
stock is concerned, may be good but to try to
depreciaJe the stock Of the North Tintic COM
pany was piece Of base ingratitude on the
part Of the broker, as DeprfzeR gave him a
large block OF II for nominal services, which he
disposed OF for good money. Such sharp prac-
tees are hurt and detriment to mining
camp and as 1t has turned out it will not work
benefit for the willy broker. Captain De-
prizen has spent his money on the North Tin
tic property with encouraging results and pro-
poses 10 spend more, the outlook justifyng the
outlay.
Mr. T. P. Bryan, OF Ogden, was in Eureka
last week looking over the mining field with a
view to investing. He said he was surprised to
IND such large camp, was delighted with the
outlook for bright future and would return to
investigate further when the snow had dissp-
peared from the hills. MIR. Bryan's attention
was called to Tintic by the fine display OF rich
ore in {. L. PEBBLES cabinet in his drug store
| at Ogden. Printers ink is q good thing for a
mining camp, if used properly. but well sell
ected exhibit Of minerals is the most convincing
method of attracting attention.

of wealth flowing into Salt Lake from our
mines than from any other source and there are
