ing camp do? 1t would make a, mar
ket for all the hay, grain and produce
that the farmers in the west end of
Tooele can produce, and would draw
heavily upon the bins and stacks of
the territory.
Every man in Tooele county is. or
should be, deeply interested in the
Gold Hill company's latest enterprise
the water works.
Salt Lakers should awake from their
lethargy; else some day a. different
route to the rich country may be Sc
lected. A railroad from Salt Lake to
Deep Creek means that millions of dol
lars will be spent here for supplies.
If this road is not built the easiest
solution of a now vexatious problem
viii be sought. It is but ninety miles
from Gold Hill to Toana, on the Cen
trail Pacific. The sinking of one arte-
sian well would supply the water neces-
sary. If our ore shipments are sent
that way then it is only natural-in
fact, it is sure-that everything con-
sumed in that country will come from
San Francisco. Which picture do you

ACTIVITY IN DETROIT DISTRICT.
Recovering: From the Effects of the
hex Failure.

Mining men who have returned from
a visit to Detroit mining district report
a great deal of activity in that locality
The closing down of the hex smelter
was blow to the best interests of the
camp, but with such a wealth of ore
uncovered as the leading mines of the
district are now showing. nothing but
dire calamity could long keep men
away from the mines, and as con-
sequence interest is gradually reviVing,
especially SO since the new discovery
in the hex mine and the shipment by
Manager S. F. Mount of two carloads
Of high grade ore 70 this city, which
is now at the Taylor q Bruton sam
pier. Well known properties are being
actively worked at present there. and
a great deal of assessment work is be-
ing done. James McBurney and Alt
Nicholson, owners of the Rather group,
have a fine lot of high grade gold and
copper ore on the dump, and will prob
ably make q shipment at an early date
a number of sales in the district are
reported, and it is believed that the
coming spring will witness more ac-
tivity in the district than at any time
prior to the starting up of the Ibex
smelter and its unfortunate shutting
down. This activity will be greatly
stimulated by the fact that the ores
Of the camp are largely copper, run
ming from to per cent. in this metal
as well as from $40 to $50 to the ton in
gold, and as copper is very firm in the
market these days with an upward
tendency, the district is bound to come
to the front. Mr.. Mount, of the hex,
commenting on the future of copper,
says: THE RothschiIds have control
of the Anaconda, the only other big
copper property in this country is
owned by rich syndicate and with so
much electrical work going on, in
which the consumption of copper en-
ters very largely, / predict that this
metal will go up to % cents hY spring."

LATEST NEWS FROM DEEP CREEK
The Veteran DIR. Faust Talks of OPP
sarafions There.

A Herald reporter met yesterday that
firm friend and staunch supporter of
tbs Deep Creek county, Dr. H. ]. Faust.
"a swering the query. What's new?'
NJ veteran unrolled himself as fol-
borNs:
superintendent George D. Haven
has gone TO Deep Creek, in company
with others. to look at the properties Of
the Cain Springs Mining and Milling
company, also to prepare to bring in
water from the mountains. To do this
ii will be necessary to lay six-inch
pipe about twenty miles, at a, cost of
$4,000 to $4,000.
when the mills Were built it was
thought there was enough water to
run five mills, but IL was soon learned
that the idea was erroneous. Digging
and tunnelinS was reSorted to, but even
then enough water could not be secur-
ed to work even three or four mills,
without using the same fluid over
again. The past summer being very
dry only Two or three could be worked,
and those to no profit. Hence the
shutting down of the mills. The pros
pecting Of the mines, getting out ore,
and preparing for a general enlarge
rnSnt in every way. with the idea of
wdrking about 100 tons per day went
on. however.
This company has about eighteen
patented mining claims, which will
produce many millions. Some of the
properties contain gold alone; some
show copper, silver, gold and lead.
One is a copper mine, with ledge 100
feet wide, on the surface of the ground,
and this one contains gold.
There is not a solitary mine among
the eighteen mentioned but which con-
tains as much gold to the ton as do
any of the mines at Mercur.
The water which it is now contem
plated bringing to the Gold Hill mine
and Clifton district and Dutch Mount
ain district will not only supply the
needs of the mines. but also the city

A Summary Of the Important OPERA
tons There.

tons There.
Colonel E. Eisenmann, of Phoebe.
Nevada, was a Walker guest yester-
day. Colonel Elsenmamn is one of the
veteran merchants and business men
Of Phoebe, and in the palmy days of
this historic and still wonderful camp,
transacted a business that run up into
the hundreds of thousands. But now
the great hosting works of the camp
are idle, and the smelter and concen-
tTation works stand as silent witnesses
of the direful effects of the effort be-
ing made to elevate one of the currency
metals at the expense of the other.
Still Phoebe is quite a business place,
and distributing point. and two of her
mines, the Yuba and the Poorman, are
being worked to a limited extent. Just
NOW Phoebe, like many other silver
camps, is experiencing gold boom.
About mile from Phoebe is located
the Old Timer mine. This mine was
recently purchased by L. V. Rice and
several Salt Lake gentlemen, who are
now taking out $30-gold ore, which is
being treated at the Bullionville reduc-
tion works. The strange feature of
this new discovery is the near proxi-
nifty of the mine to Phoebe, where gold
ore has never been found before, and
this new find has inspired a great deal
of prospecting on the northwest side
of the range which heretofore had been
considered as barren, and the probabili-
ties now are that Phoebe in the near
future will be a gold producing camp
AT De Lamar development work is
progressing on a number of properties
with gratifying results. On Decem-

No Assessment ON the Dalton.


There have been some rumors recent
ly to the effect that another Dalton as
sessment would be levied, but one of
the directors of the company is au-
thority for the statement that no as
sessment will be levied on the stock
this winter even though the shipment
of ore may be prevented by the deep
snow for at the last meeting of the
board of directors arrangements were
made for carrying on the work extern
sively this winter. The six men en-
ployed by the company have been
quite busy recently laying in supplies
for the winter. which has hindered
the progress Of development work. 1t

more drifting until they strike the rich

soon as this ore is encountered ship
ments are expected TO commence i'm

Decision Rendered BY Circuit
Judge McKennn Yesterday.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1O.-United
States Circuit Judge McKenna today
decided that the United States govern
ment had a right, under the Thurman
act to intervene in the suit between
the California railroad commission and
Southern Pacific company on the ques-
ton of a reduction of freight rates on
grain amounting to 8 per cent. The
court expressed opinion that the in
tervention will not affect the questions
at issue or the right Of the commission
to reduce. Further hearing of the case
was postponed until the first Monday

Express business picking Tn.

Officers of the express companies in
this city report business picking up as
the holidays draw near, and already
the officers show piles of parcels and
boxes going mainly to distant points as
yet. A few days more and the offices
will be deluged daily with matter, both
going and coming. Indications are
that such business will overshadow
that of the past three years at this
season. as times are better and people
are inclined to give up more read
lily in making gifts to distant relatives
and friends. 1t takes money and a
cheerful giver to pile up such express
business, and the people with the com
panies like the business wave threat
ening to engulf them for time.
