MlARYSVALE mining DISTRICT.

/ es bordering are of a build ibetokening
! taste and care. A hurried glance about
/ developed that there are three church
es, three saloons, four hotels, three
| schools, three livery barns, two news
! papers, two saw mills, two planning
mills, a Touring mill and first class
| creamery.
The county court house is neat and
really imposing structure for a place
! Of this magnitude.
THE TOWN OF MONROE.
Ten miles south is the thriving town
of Monroe, having 1000 people and
lots of other things.
1t was town twenty years ago, and
for years agone the good people were
wont TO pass the long evenings talk
ing of the Time when the railroad
would be built tC Monroe-they firmly
believed in it. But it didn't material
lie on lines they had fondly laid out
for it, and now q big COB of gloom has
settled down to roost upon them and
there are sore hearts about there,
away up in the hundreds. 1t all came
about in this way. Five miles to the
westward, and on a more direct line
for the road, is the town of Elsinore-
a real live town filed with a get-up-
and-hustle class of people. They are
Danes-all OF 'em-have a system or
water works and the finest Touring
mill in the whole valley. Well, these
Danes didn't do thing but get up IN
the morning and so after the railroad,
and they got it! But Monroe has
many attractions and resources that
the rival town cannot rob it of. Mon
roe has hot springs that have given 1t
fame. A new bath house will soon be
erected there, and the town council is
just now about to decide on putting in
system of waterworks Monroe is
the home of a great number of sheep
kings, and will later on be noted for
various other enterprises.
THE TOWN OF IARYSvALE.
From Monroe to Marysvale is fifteen
miles Marysvale is fifty miles south
of Salina. 1t has as yet but about 500
people in the town proper, though the
! near future viii witness a rapid
growth 1t is situated in the valley
and at the base of old MG. Badly. High
mountains tower above it on the west.
1t is but fifteen miles from there TO the
Sewer mine and the probabilities are
that with the advent of the road, it
will be a shipping and distributing
point for all the Gold Mountain min
ing district 1t is in Piute county, and
Junction City. seventeen miles south,
is the county seat, though it is evil
county capital is moved-Marysvale
will want it in her business.
MINING IN PIUTE COUNTY.
The coming season will witness more
work done in mining circles within
Piute county than has been done dur
| ing many OF the past years Jumped to-
gether. Already old-time mining men
are going in there and they do BUSH
ness" when they do go in. 1t is great
! field. Ii is a field that has only been
/ Scrat ched over and only in spots at
that. This can be accounted for
through lack of railroad facilities, and
again the undeniable fact that the peo-
! PIE Of these valleys were not, nor are
they yet of a mining disposition. They
were taught just the reverse of that.
| They didn't, and they don't yet know
mineral bearing rock unless chunks of
free gold greet the eye. Of course, a
number of them are pretty well posted,
such knowledge being born 10 them
of late years, and netting them good
results as shown.
VAST DEPOSITS OF SILVERINE.
Monroe has the proud distinction Of
having silverine works. The deposits
of this useful article are found near
by in a body forty feet in depth, and
is of the finest TO be found anywhere.
1t carries rich in quicksilver, which
gives 10 its polishing qualities an add
ed luster. Homer McCarty, who is
deputy mineral surveyor, has located
the property and is already engaged in
putting it up in packages for the trade.
He has put up over 5000 packages
to date, and will soon enter the field
! to compete against old established
! products of such nature.
TT re A PIC TuTNc
There is in the Marysvale mining
district one ledge of rock a quarter of
a mile wide that goes $13.23 in gold and
/ 80 ounces in silver-it's a big thingI
Right here l desire to state that l
promised not to reveal more of this
find than is contained in the brief an
nouncement and am handicapped, so
+ to speak. 1 saw the rock, the ledge,
J and the aSSay-again l say it is a big
/ thing!
MARYSVALE DISTRICT.
Some gold was found in the Marys-
vale district thirty years ago, but it
was not until the sos that anything
was done in the way of mining, and
even then mining was carried on I'M
! der such disadvantages that none save
| ore of high values could be profitably
mined. as the nearest point of ship
| distant, and roads were not then of
the best.
There are at present in that district
200 claims, upon which the assessment
work has been done, and number
of producing mines that go far towards
, awakening real live interest in the
mining world.
The Ohio mining district extends
! 10000 feet on the south side of Bullion

The Mt. Badly district extends two
miles south of Cottonwood creek, and
north to the Ohio district.
BULLY BOY AND WEBSTER.
The Bully Boy and Webster, six
miles south of Marysvale, UP Bullion
creek, is only working one shift at
present The owners are r. G. Cham
! bers, L. u Goliath and Mrs. Hearst
/ 1t is a contact between quartzite and
/ porphyry, the ledge being sixty feet
wide There is a 1,500-foot tunnel on
| the lower workings, and some very rich
| ore has been taken out in the past.
/ When silver was worth so cents, it was
! hauled fifty miles TO Salina and Ship
ped at a profit. and this without con-
/ centrating. The ore chute is from
! eighteen inches to four feet in width,
200 feet long, and the whole face of the
tunnel is now in ore.
1t is a good smelling and concen-
! trating ore. The work now carried on
| is tunneling and prosecuting. All
above is stopping ground for 500 feet.
With the railroad to Marysvale it is
! believed that this and all other proper
ties about there VIII be worked in a
proportion commensurate with the ore
/ bodies contained in them.
