L. q. RogAon returned from his visit
to the soula yesterday. where he made
an examination Of The Dalton mine.
which, he reports. is in excellent CON
dition and bettar ;han ever before. The
force ol men eneaged ON the mine are
drifting ca The vein and are now i'm
zoo feet, although no Stopping has been
done as Vet
Al the sane time there are several
tons of ore On the dump waiting for
shipment ana this may be sent in in
very short time The Dalton is in
, letter condition to ship owing to the
action # the Rio Grande Western in
taking freight at l1lsi1ore. which is SIX
miles nearer The mine than the Old
shipping peinL Ar R0gnon did n.c
care 70 men-ion any OF the results of
the assays, but it is gathered that the
ore NOW being taken from she Dalton
and being uncovered, is ~ a good
character. Ii VIII be remembered that
some seven years ago the mines stock
was Very high ou the market. II sold
at one time as high as SIPS per share,
and was regarded rs a good buy. Some
of the ore was exceedingly rich in char
acter. but il was found in pockets only,
and when these petered. those interest
ed became discouraged.
But within the last two years other
men obtained control and by a system
OF good practical working the property
is coming un The Vein proper has
been discovered and is being worked N
a manner which bids fair to make Dali
ton a good buy N the near future.
What Mr.. Rognon says concerning the
workings is coIrObOrated by Il. p.
Mowers. who has just come up from
that section, having been engaged in
doing some work IN some claims of his
own in the neg abOrhOOd Mr. Mowers
went through the Dalton and he says
tine property is in a splendid condition
and Looks well. Everyone engaged on
the mine believes Jhat in a short time
they Will have a Young bonanza and
that within a few months, at the most,
it viii be one Of the gold producers Of
the state.
Rognon says there was a strike in
Beaver canyon a short time ago, and
that il caused considerable excitement.
No less than 100 men and fifteen out
fits are now prospecting the country.
The property where the best conditions
Were obtained is owned by ". d. Myers
ana W Morse. The ore is an amethyst
quartz and has run as high as $o4 in
gold and 1855 ounces in silver.
j.
en- route to his home, was Interested
with Mr.. Mowers and they have made
a good strike next to the Dalton. A
Herald man was shown some OF the
ore last evening and it is Of the same
character alluded TO in the Myers and
Morse claims. It runs about $50 in gold
and about 65 ounces in silver on the
groupings and is a well defined Vein Of
perhaps ten feet in width, evidently in
place. and located whore the ore is
easily accessible. 1t is stated, too that
there are streaks through the vein
where the free gold appears in quanti-
lies which would indicate greater vail
ues than those alluded 10, but generally
speaking il is believed the above is
about the correct thing. and as the ore
is a good working ore those interested
are satisfied with the find and VIII
make preparations for developing the
same.
The news Of the strikes spread with
wonderful rapidly and ! was but
short time ere tn hills were sVarming
with people. all anxious to get in. Sew
era came down from the Tntic
country and QUILTED in the neighbcr-
hood. and as all the snow has disap-
peared in the high ground they are
working up higher than would be the
case earlier or later in the season.
