DEEP CREEK, May 2S.-Once more
across the Sahara desert of the west, and
find every body talking railroad. Most
OF these people have heard so much rail-
road talk for the last FIVE years that they
are becoming used to talk. In order to
get them to move in the matter, they will
have to see the business men OF Salt Lake,
and the men who will be most benefited
by the building of the road, down for a
handsome sum, one that VIII look as II
they meant business. Many miner
asks: "What has my rich partner put
down?'
1t seems that many a poor miner has
some one in Salt Lake in with him. Make
the move then and these people Will re-
spond with their teams and labor to do
grading.
At Rush Valley there was some excite
ment about the mines at Indian creek,
Six Mile creek and Death canyon. From
what we learned there have been many
new discoveries made recently that must
have railroad to work them.
DUGwAY DEVELOPMENTS.
At Dugwsy the miners are hard at work
developing their properties. To induce
the coming OF the road these people prom
Use TO grade many miles and take it in
stock. While here, and while travelling,
we looked over the route again, and it Is
my opinion that eighty miles can be
graded at 8 cost of less than $500 per mile
in building the culverts, but you must
have your construction train up with the
graders every night with water, hay and
grain. When you start to build you must
have your ties and rails and e.egraph all
arranged for, as the grading viii be only
a secondary consideration. 1t is about
To
in many a mining camp. 1t will begin to
pay at Stockton. At Dugway 1t will load
cars of low grade ores; and let nee here
saw that many of these mines are showing
gold which VIII soon make them high
grade.
FISH SPRINGS.
The Fish Spring mines are panning out
good, The Utah is shipping its car load a
week and doing much developing work.
They estimate that they have over S50, 900
worth of ore of second class on the dump
that can only be shipped with railroad.
Suppose they subscribe the hell of that to
a road This would show the company's
good faith in their mine ara make their
property worth millions. They have now
.bout fifty claims, with twenty-five pat
ented already.
Louis Kilkluskey & Co. are shipping
rich ores. They too own many good
value If there was a road.
Chapman & Co., have many mines that
they hold at millions. John Monehous,
Sons & Co. have what they expect to go
to the Worlds fair on, besides living in
affiuence and luxury the balance of their
days.
The Brim brothers have very valuable
properties The Thomas brothers are
shipping ore. In all there are 300 claims
in Fish Spring district. A road to Dug
way would help She Fish Spring people,
and it would pay.
OTHER DISTRICTS.
There are. 32S recorded claims in Willow
Springs. Many of these claims are only
worked to hold them. Many OF the
assessments. The Watson brothers, of
SaltLake, have fine property that they
are working and developing.
Trout creek has about thirty claims,
and here are found placer grounds.
There will be some work done this sum-
mer in the way of developments by Mr. :.
Parker and others.
Granite canyon has some good claims,
especially those of Charles Decker & Sons.
The disposition of the miners and own
ers in the mining districts that have
passed through, is TO develop these prop
critics. get out ores, and to assist in build
ing the railroad. Their faith in these
mines is best shown by the few mines that
are offered for sale.
Hurry up the 400. Get in the men with
their thousands; start the road by July 4:
double your money; make times good
and our cry will be, 'tGive us more
carsi'' IL. j. FAUST.
