ments have been made during the year to
sreak of, but there was considerable de-
velopment work. 1t is not, by any means,
poor mans camp, as. save in very rare
instances the veins lay quite deep, and
capital is, therefore, one of the prime ne
cessities.
The prospects in the camp show pay as
says ranging from $40 to 500 in silver and
25 to 10 per cent. lead.
THE OLD MILLER.
brief historical note of the mines
tells US that the first one of any import
ance was discovered in August, 1870, and
patented on the 18th day of that month
by man named Alex Miller A New
York company took hold and did consid-
erable development work, and about two
years later built a railroad to their Claims,
connecting with the Utah Southern, now
Union Pacific. This road only ran for d
period of three or four years, and when
this company gave up working their
claims all remuneratlve business came to
an end and the road was removed to
Spanish Fork canyon. The old Miller IS
looking up again and it is confidently
hoped good ore will again come from this
property. 1t has produced over million

THE WILD DUTCHMAN
is one of the original mines. 1t was dis
covered about the same time as the Miller,
having been patented the 31st of August,
1870. The property has been running in
Il desultory way until last year, when it
was purchased by the American Fork
Consolidated Gold and Silver Mining COM
pany, which commenced operations on a
large scale. TheT have erected large
concentration. The company is composed
OF a party of capitalists from Cleveland.
Assays show ten ounces of silver and 46
per cent lead, with good, large body of
ore to work on.
THE PITTSBURGH
has large body of low grade ore. The
mine has been leased this past year and it
is expected that operations on a large
scale would be made, but for some un-
accountable reason silence has reigned
this year.
THE TREASURE.
This mine has more work done in the
way of development than any other on the
hill and shows up about the best of any
They have run one tunnel about three
hundred feet and another about five hun
dred feet. The shaft is down IT'S feet. This
ore assays 100 ounces in silver and &c per
cent. in lead. With all the work done,
they have not yet struck paying quanti
ties, but are enthusiastic over the show
ing and have just struck a much larger
vein. The owners of the Treasure have
incorporated with exclusive American
Fork capital, electing James Chapman
president and manager, and w. S. Chip
man secretary.
THE MILKMAID.
Developments here show 16-inch vein
of good ore, assaying 26 ounces silver and
45 per cent. lead. An incline shaft has
been run about one hundred and fifty feet E,
but struck large volumes of water that
stopped work and necessitated an i'm
menSe drain tunnel about four hundred
and fifty feet, which is now completed in
fifty feet, and when completed operations
viii be resumed. They have shipped
about three hundred tons, and early in
the spring large force of men will be put
on and concentrator built.
THE NORTH STAR
is owned by II. w. Owen of Salt Lake,
and others. They have shipped about 200
tons of good ore, which assayed 20 ounces
silver and 80 per cent. in lead. The de-
velopment work on this shows up well
A shaft has been sunk about fifty and a
tunnel about fifty feet.
THE ONTARIO
is good mine, showing large bodies of
ore that assay 16 ounces silver and 80 per
cent. lead. A shaft $50 feet in depth
shows ore all the way--a vein ranging
from four to sixteen inches wide, a tun-
mel about seventy-fve feet and some drift
ing.
THE SILVER BELL
The Silver Bell is mine owned by Col
onel Shaughnesey of Salt Lake. It has
shipped considerable high grade ore and
has mined hundreds of tons, that is lying
on the dump waiting for a concentrator
or teaching works This valuable prop
erty has been idle for some time for
reasons best known to the owners.
THE LONE PINE
is piece of property owned by Messrs.
E. II. Bolley, r. E. Hunter ana Charles
Mccarthy. a sixty fve-foot tunnel
shows ore that assays about IS ounces of
silver and 45 yer cent. lead. They have
run an incline in about forty-fve feet
and another tunnel 500 feet. they have
had from two to five men employed all
summer.
THE CORNUCoPIA
is owned by T. D. Game of Omaha and
Herbert Bate of American Fork. This
property shows the gratifying assay of PIP
ounces silver and 20 per cent. lead. Ex-
tensive preparations are being made for
early work in the spring. 1t is really at
present only suIlr}l prospect, and were
it not so rich and the prospects SO good
for improvement the people of American
Fork would not be SO enthusiastic as they
are at this writing.
MANY OTHERS.
There are hundreds of small prospects
that show up remarkably we'll, and on
which considerable work will be done
during the coming year. Much may be
expected in a few years of the mines of
American Fork.
