MAMMOTH. Utah. Feb. 22.-While
the mining interest is receiving quite
an impetus IN all parts of Utah, Nam
moth is doing her full share towards
making Utah renowned for her wealth
producing greatness, and ere long Will
be one of the greatest mining cenlters
in the state.
People interested IN Mammoth are
jubilaut over her present and coming
possibilities. She has some excellent
producers, while many others just as
good will shortly be brought into public
notice.
Mammoth has every facility for the
making of great camp. Besides her
rich deposits of ore, She is much better
situated for a thriving city than either
Eureka, Mercur, or Park City. Water
Is supplied to the camp from Cherry
creek. a distance of eighteen miles due
west, which will be sufficient for many
wears to come. The Mammoth Mining
& Milling company have been to great
expense in piping this water such a
great distance, but it will prove a good
investment on the part of the company,
besides supplying the necessary liquid
for their own mine and mill.
Mammoth has added materially to
her growth since last fall. The new
Rerriu mill of thirty stamps, owned by
the Sioux Consolidated, has aided very
much in the way of general improve
naeut and the influx of new settlers.

sions have been going up all winter,
and many more are in immediate con-
