The GOLD FIELDS OF UTAH.
Their Great Possibilities.

1nCIf C1TCAV 1'O06AUIllLtxSSs
To the diversity Of its mineral re-
sources does Utah particularly attribute
its coming greatness. Within a dis
tance of 40 miles from Salt Lake City,
in the district known as Camp Floyd,
the Mercur camp is making great
strides toward fame. 1t is the only
rival Of Cripple Creek in the west, and
while its ore bodies are different in
character from those Of Cripple Creek,
the ore area is so extensive in dimen-
sion that the future of the camp is not
problematical but assured. The Mer-
cur mine, a control in which was re-
Gently bonded for 81 200 600, is the min
ing marvel of the age. 1t has been pay
ing dividends on the basis Of $500, 600
per year. Recent development has
uncovered the ore body In the neighbor-
ing hills for distance OF over eight
miles, and indications point to one of
the richest and most extensive gold
fields the world has yet seen. To reach
this camp. take the Rio Grande West
ern railway to Salt Lake City.
Very unlike the Mercur is the Marys-
willie district, $50 miles south Of Salt
Lake City on the line Of the Rio Grande
Western railway. where high-grade,
free-milling gold ore was recently un.
covered. In addition to the Mercur and
Marysvale camps the gold and silver
camp OF Tintic district, and Bingham,
as we'll as tile smaller camps In the
Henry and La Sal mountains, Deep
Creek and Dugway, the encouraging
placers on the Green, Grand and Colo.
RADIO rivers. all located on the line Of the
R. G. W. Ry., are attracting much at
tention. There Is not a shadow Of
doubt but that Utah at the present time
presents magnificent field for specula
tion. For further information or copies

A man who has travelled in India q
great deal says that an elephant is q
better playfellow for boy than dog.
The native boys make the elephants
take them in swimming. They climb
on the elephants back and ride in tri-
umph to the best swimming hole. The
elephant walks into deep water and
keeps right on walking until there's
nothing to be seen of him except his
trunk and good level island OF back.
The boy stands on the island and yells
like = well, just about like . good,
healthy American boy, and he dives off
the island, and the elephant grabs him
with his trunk and puts him up onto
''dry land" and answers his yell with a
cry that's half snort and half whoop,
and altogether he gives that boy just
rs good time "in swimming as if he
had lived in America and never
dreamed OF using an elephants back
