mining matters within the last few

ed operators that this gulch will yet
produce some of the greatest bonanzas
to be found in West Mountain mining
district
The Julia Dean lode. with it's ore
rich in wire and horn silI er, is already
making a magnificent reputation for
itself; the Montezuma is another ricl
producer, ard up and down the gulch
there are several properties of great
promise, among the number being the
Amazon. the Amazon No. l, and the
st. Elmo, all three of which adjoin the
Julia Dean.
IN years gone by the ST Elmo was
a noted producer Of rich silver-lead ore,
but water ir tn SHAFT caused 3. ces-
arion of work, and for number o.
years this property has been idle
The Amazon was at one time a pro-
Queer in small way. but the owners
of the property failed to find ore in
place in sufficient quantities to pay
for working, and this ground was also
practically abandoned.
Not long ago. however. several Salt
Lakers secured control of these three
claims. and a long tunnel was started
in the Amazon to cut the ledge on the
st. Elmo ground at a considerable dis
lance below the bottom of the St. Elmo
shaft At 500 feet this tunnel cut
fine body of ore that ASSAYS 3S per
cent lead, 60 ounces silver and $4.65 in
gold to the ton, and from which {,
carload shipment will soon be made
to this city: and it is estimated that
in lbs feet more the tunnel will en-
counter the rich body of ore exposed in
the bottom of the St Elmo shaft
when this property will be thoroughly
drained. The contamination of this
enterprise will open up a magnificent
property, and give to Bingham another
rich producer
1t is the intention, within week
or two, 70 form a stock company for
the further development of the Amazon
group, to be called the Amazon Min

watching that claim, ready to relocate
as soon as the 365th day should pass,
and the real owner was far away and
knew nothing of the fortune in his
grasp Blu: about four days before
the end of the year in some way he
learned of the situation and started
over the mountains pell-meL. He was
running race against time for for
tune, and time seemed to have all the
hest of it. Various delays held him
hack. and it was on the afternoon of
the last day of grace that he came
down from the mountains into the
valley. and some hours later he was
on his claim. He had two hours in
watch to do 500 worth of work to
save the claim. What could he do?
Certainly he couldn't build a house in
that time. Then he thought of a well.
That was it. He would dig a ten-foot
well and that would let him out. But
he had no tools. He must borrow. He

with like result. Nobody would sell or
lend him anything.
He returned to his claim in despera-
ton. He realized that it must be very
rich There would be no chance to re-
locate i, though, and it must be lost.
He YEARLY sat down beside a huge
bowlder that jutted out of the ground,
feeling that his last hope was gone. 1t

the heal ad thought he was going to
faint from over-eXertion. Suddenly
there was a crash of thunder and he
looked up to see the heavens lined
VIII green, horrible clouds. In an in

and the clouds spat fire as they rolled
and churned about. The trees bowed
themselves and dead pines shot through
the air. Then out of the awfulness of
a black distance came the writing,

earth and travelled with the fury of
the devil. Cruzen had never seen any

S. S. Gates, one of the time min
l-s of Utah. and who will be remem-
bered by a number of our mining men
who helped to make Alta, Bingham and
Ophir famous. is back from old Mex
Eco. where he has been mining for the
last eight years.
Since returning home Mr.. Gates has
made trip TO Box Elder county. this
state, where, in Cove Creek, he exam
ined the Century ana Lizzie gold lOdes,
owned by Tom Busby Of this city and
John Andrew, who is now at the mines.
These properties. Mr.. Gates says, are
the most promising prospects he has
seen in this country, the formation be-
ing a true fissure in granite. The
quartz is free milling, and the owners
have 200 tons or more Of ore on the
dump that will average $25 in gold to
the ton. In the vein there are rich
streaks, and the soil next to the ledge
pans well
Mr.. Gates thinks that this is a great
mineral region, and he was so much
impressed with the outlook that ne
made several locations on the extension
of these claims, and he is of the opin
ion that with development work they
all viii open out into great producers.
on Johnson creek, just over the
mountain from Dove creek, Mr.. Gates
also made two silver-iead locations,
which he believes. viii develop into
b0nanzas. as the surface groupings as
say 20 per cent lead, IS ources in sill

formation being a contact between lime
and quartzite.
While on The trip Mr. Gates went
over the Utah line into Cassia creek,
Cassia county Idaho. where there is
great excitement just now over recent
gold discoveries. In this locality the
formation is shale and porphyry, and
the quartz is SO rich that in places it
is half gold. These mines are being
worked al a good profit; besides which
there are several lead properties, con-
sisting CT well-dehned lodges. from
which ore is shipped to Salt Lake that
nets $50 a ton. For the treatment Of

outlook for the district is bright in

Fine showing in This New Bat Pro-
missing Camp.
Elias Gardner. who is spending a few
days at home. says the Richfield Advo-
cate, brings cheering news from State
Line. where he is interested in some
good gold and silver prospects. The
latest thing there is a rich gold strike
on the Ophir mine, which has been
supposed to be strictly silver pro-
Queer. The Ophir is owned by Clark
and Sullivan, the we'll known mining
men OF Deseret Springs. AS yet no
assays have been returned on the gold
quartz but the Mornings indicate fabu-
louS quantities of the metal in a free
state. Horning is much like the pan
ming process, the quartz being pulver-
lied and washed down in an ordinary
cows horn.
There are twelve mines actively at
work in this district now and all are
producing silver in paying quantity,
while in four Of them a big streak of
gold has been found, some of the rock
goinr as hsyh as $4,000 in bimetallism.
The same character of quartz prevails
throughout the camp and It is now be-
lieved all the mines will be found to
contain from S. 10 $50 in gold TO the
ton. The minimum assay on any of
the working properties shows 40 ounces
of silver and Sc in gold.
Two of Mr.. Garoner's properties are
the Long Day and the Silver Dollar.
Both are good silver propositions and
some gold has been horned in the for
mer.
Among the best working mines are
the Ophir, Burro. Utah Spur and Lone
Pine. DR.. Lamberts is the owner of
q prospect from whose quartz are
taken big nuggets of free gold. Green
Campbell, the former owner of the re-
nowned Horn Silver mine in Frisco. is
negotiating for the purchase of this
claim for which the doctor asks $780,
900. Mr.. Campbell was heard to re-
mark that there was that value of ore
in sight and TO request that the prop
erty be held for few days until he
could organize the capital.
The Rice brothers hold a group of
FIVE claims from which they are break
ing and sacking the float for shipment.
