DETROIT DISTRICT
Coming to the Front in Spite of
Many Set-BaciS.

Notwithstanding the set-backs which
the Detroit district in Willard county
has received. owing to the lavish ex-
penditure of money in useless mills
and smelters that might have been
profitably expended in development
work, those who are owners of holes in
the ground have such faith in its future
that no claim of value will be jumpa-
bic after the first of the new year.
Since the collapse of the hex syndicate
which extinguished the fires in the
smelter at bennington, no work of any
Importance has been continued during
the summer and the camp has been al
most lifeless until within a very recent
period.
Now quite a large number of claim
owners are scattered about the hills
finishing up their assessment for the
year. At the Busby mine operations
will be renewed after January l. The
Charmed has $4,000 worth of ore at
least between tine so and the $50 foot
Level. The hex is employing but four
men, but a recent strike has developed
the richest ore that has come out of
the shaft since its discovery. S. F.

be brought to the mental state of

portals of their understanding long

Mining and mining stock dealing to-

possibilities, for those who are look

the Comstock stocks. But mining as

Immediately begins to plunge, without
using the first principles of ordinary

sooner or later, that mining speculation
is what he took it to be- mere blind

the market with his eyes open, with
his business faculties alert and is able
to reason results and conclusions from
premises, will conclude, after a careful

as honorable, and far more profitable
than the majority of lines of trade.
The man who wants to gamble, will
find gambling stocks; the man who is
looking for speculation, viii find specu-
iative stock; the man who wishes to
invest, will find investment stocks; and
the prices are all governed by their
character. Dealing in mining stocks
is what a man chooses to make it. He
can treat it as serious and legitimate
business and make money; he can
treat it as gamble and accept the
gamblers chances and rewards. When
the investing public comes to realize
this fact. there will be less money put

a SNOW-SLIDE.
1t suspends Operations on the Grass
hopper Tunnel.

hopper Tunnel.
A heavy snowslide on Mount Badly, in
the Msrysva!e district, in which Captain
Timothy Egan is operating the Golden
Star group, was the cause of a temporary
suspension of the work on the Grasshop-
per tunnel which is now in to depth of
22O feet. The slide occurred on December
II or 10. and one of the men at work on
the tunnel was carried down the noun
tain side in the avalanche and was after
wards dug out of the snow more nearly
dead than alive. No serious damage was
done, and the man who was carried off in
the slide recovered all right, but the in
ci1ent caused a scare among the eight
men engaged on the tunnel.
Captain Egan states that his Informal
ton is TO the effect that the scare on ac-
count of the snowslide had passed. and
that proper arrangements had been made
to give the miners better protection In
future. His advices conveyed the infor-
nation that the showing in the tunnel
was most excellent and his expectations
are that values better than those obtained
in the upper workings and in the crop

GREATEST IN AMERICA,
Henry Ferris Opinion of Utah's Big
Gold Camp.

Henry Ferris of Park City. who has
become interested in Mercur real
estate and who is erecting a number of
residences for rent in that growing
mining town. is in Salt Lake. He gives
it as his opinion that the vast area of
the Camp Floyd district and the gen.
eral presence of the ores will make it
the biggest gold camp in America be-
fore the end If the coming year, but
while interested financially in Mercur
real estate he is of the opinion that the
new town of Sunshine will run Mercur
an even race.
People who are looking for mines,
said Mr.. Ferris. will have better
chances around Sunshine than in the
vicinity of Mercur."
