THE SUNSHINE TOWNSHIP.
a New Enterprise That is Coming
to the Front.

AS a result of the development of the
gold values in the Sunshine and the
properties adjacent, which are being
opened I'D in the south end of the
Camp Floyd district, new town has
been started in that section and is
now, as the year Closes developing
into a worthy rival of the older town
of Mercur in the north end.
The town CT Sunshine is located on
the Red Cloud claim adjoining the
Sunshine mine. AS everyone knows
who has visited this section of the
mining belt, the location of town on
this particular site is most fortunate,
not only by reason OF its central loca
ton to many of the most promising
properties in the south end of Camp
Floyd district. but also because of the
very favorable lay of the land for town
lots If the sun is out at all his beams
are Frightening up this very spot, and
the future will show that for climatic
reasons. as we'll as for its proximity. to
the mines. Sunshine is the coming
town. Lots have been on the market
only about thirty days. but already the
town has a lumber yard, livery stable,
general store, restaurant and saloon.
Excavations are being made for an
other store and for a meat market.
The owners of the site are erecting
building for office and bank purposes.
A first-class hotel is among the early
probabilities. besides several other
business buildings to be erected by
parties who have already bought loca-
lions. The Gold Belt pipe line runs d.
rectly through the property, affordings
ample water supply for mining, milling
and culinary purposes The new town
is about eQui-diStant from Fairchild
and Mercur, with a stage line connect
ing it daily with both points, and
passing en- route through the mining
belt of this region. The town is barely
started as yet but gives promise of un-
usual growth and thrift during the
next few months. Manager Jacobs, of
the Salt Lake & Mercur railway, has
expressed his intention of building an
extension of his road to Sunshine the
coming spring.

HOW GREAT is CAMP FLOYD.

Over the beautiful hills,
Once trod by the Utes. brave and bold
The magical power Of genius and wealth
Has opened up caYerns of gold.
The silence that dwelt in the air,
On canyon and hilltop held sway
Has timidly, shyfully skipped far away
To give place to the quickening day.
For the blast is now heard in the land,
The glad echo of commerce is heard;
Dull care has been vanquished by joy,
And the heart of the miner is stirred.
a camp OF a thousand or more,
<Ras been built like a city at night;
The rumble of ore cars is heard
From dawn to the deepest twilight
Every hill has a gem of a mine,
In which there is gold unalloyed;
And over the lard people shout:
How great is Our only Camp Floydl'
Its million will bring us great wealth.
''Our credit viii now be first-rate;
"Hurrah for our grand Oquirrh hillsl
''Hurah for our glorious state!''

AS to the geological formation of
this remarkable region there are more
theories than are advanced, but in the
main biologists who have visited and
examined the district agree. The very
attractive theory that the formation
was of purely sedimentary origin and
that the values were deposited from
the waters of the receding lake, has
not yet received any support from the
scientists.
