the old timers lett for other camps, but
new ones took up the abandoned claims,
each year doing a little more work. The
ores contain silver, lead and great guam
tity OF copper.
The Morning Star, which was purchased
by Mr.. Scribner, and worked by COM
pany of Salt Lake capitalists, took out
enough to pay for the mine and expenses,
when the usual quarrel ensued, and the
mine was shut down. Mr.. Perkins, who
has been in the same cabin for sixteen
years, is still holding on. He has been
recorder most of the time. He has some
good claims.
Woodman, Martin and Dunyon have
about ten good claims. Mat Lyons and
Crismon and Weller have fine prospects.
Bob Condie is in it. Some others have
claims that they expect to go to the
World S fair on. Kingsley is thirty miles
north of Deep Creek.
WHITE HORSE
is a newly discovered district, where a
number of very valuable claims are 10
Gated. The ores show silver, copper and
lead. Faust q Van Dyke own most OF
the claims in this district. The great
drawback is a lack of water for nan and
beast, there being none of the fluid under
twenty miles.
DOLLY WARDEN
was discovered by Sam ellison and H. J.
Faust in 1860. 1t lies in Nevada, fifty
miles from Deep Greek, due west. Much
ore has been shipped in the past. 4
smelter yet stands there to mark the folly
of man. A large vein of copper was dis
covered and, the smelter put up, but when
the smelter proved a success the foreman
and all hands got drunk. In the morning
the smelter was frozen up half full of cop
per. A new jacket was sent for, but be-
fore it was put up the partners quarreled
and the mine was sold at sheriff's sale. a
Pennsylvania firm owns it now. 1t is one
of the best properties in the west. The
silver mines have shipped ore in the past,
but it is not rich enough to stand wagon
haul.
FURBER.
Furber brothers discovered this camp in
the '70's when lead was high. They got
out several hundred tons of low grade ore,
but by the time a smelter was put up,
lead went down. They left, and
others fell heir to the deposits.
Wood, Martin & Dunyon, Fitzhugh,
William Chishom and a few others own
this camp. Many of the claims are pat
ented This is a veritabie young Lead
vile, many of the veins being twenty feet
wide. Furber is eighteen miles from
Deep Creek.
CLIFTON.
Now we come to the greatest camp Of
them all.
Dutch mountain, on the north, has
many claims, of large bodies of ore. As
the overs go down the bodies get richer
Much work has been done in times past
but the ores are still on the dump await
ing the railroad, which viii have to go
north of this mountain to get IN to Deep
Creek.
GOLD HILL
bo. Lo5 &c ,,,,e cd 5orr,c Nro--. ....-.
ago there was a smelter built by st.
Louis company, and in attempting to
freeze out one of the partners it was
enjoined, and was never able to start
up again. Woodman, Martin and Dun
yOn own many claims. The hills are
full of claims, most of them carrying
gold. Many good copper claims are
there. Many miners who are working
assessments on borrowed grub stakes
will yet have wealth of their own creation.
The gold mill that was built by Post &
Haven is a success, running night and
day. What they take out is only known
to themselves. They seem self satisfied.
The Cane Spring gold lead was nine
feet wide until $50 feet down, when it
commenced widening out. Four miners
can supply the mill. The lowest assay
that have seen was $40, and the highest
$50, 900 per ton. Clifton proper has too
many mines to mention them. A notice
of them all would fill THE HERALD.
There are now on the books about 900
claims. George w. Brown, the recorder,
has stood the weather of a quarter of a
century and is still at his post awaiting a
railroad. The miner cooks his own meals,
mends his own clothing and sleeps in his
own blankets. He is hard to freeze out.
Clifton IS ten miles from Deep Creek.
SPRING CREEK
was first discovered by an Indian, who
took Uncle Jimmy Worthington and
located the claim and afterwards
worked it some. After his death
it was jumped and rejumped. L.
G. Karrick, Harry Hardy, DR.. Baely,
Joe Raleigh, Con Merrill, Daniel Nc
Lamara, John Sprigg and William Don
ley, all went into Spring Creek about
one year ago last spring and located many
good claims. Since then Thomas Eller-
beck, jr., MIR. Miller and others have
gone in and all have good showing loca-
tions. William Martin has bought in
with DR.. Bagly in the Queen of Sheba, a
good claim that assays from $50 to S125 to
the ton. They are working this winter.
The Muldoon is being worked by Hardy.
Charles Keeney, the old COalville miner,
has charge. The Muldoon will speak for
itself by spring. Merrill, Raleigh &
Young are working a fine property.
Miller and Ellerbeck are working the
Jumbo.
Mcnamara has force of men on his
claims. Mr.. Karrick is in the ring and
will be heard from in the spring. Several
others are working. While this is not a
new camp and a small one as to numbers
of claims, it is rich in gold and silver, the
assays going into the thousands. This
camp is situated fifteen miles south of the
old mail station at Deep Greek in the south
of the valley. III. J. FAUST.
