That old time mineral producing
district, Alta, seems TO be destined TO
awake from it, few years Of peaceful
and unbroEen slumber, and take on
now life asain by sending 70 the mar
ket tons upon tons Of the riches that
Ito hidden within ite borders.
Il was in the early seventies that
the Alta district came prominently
before the public a. a mining camp Of
no mean value. Its worth was par.
TALLY demonstrated by the opening up
Of the Emma mine, long since famous
for it, production oi ore, and which
In later yeaiu became involved In liii'
Cation from the effects Of which
n has not yet rallied. The
Flagstaff. too, was a noted producer
and along with others helped TO
give tho camp the name which
IL ATTAINED nmong Uiah'a mining
districts. Hut through diiiicultoe,nnd
many Of them, which the mine owners
OF the district encountered, active
work was finally abandoned and the
camp deserted Glmos', TOT period Of a
few years.
Now, however, that mining has
taken on such u splendid phase IN the
new State, tho attention Of many Of
tho old timers, whote faiih wAa
unshakon In the Alta district, has been
once again directed 10 the camp, with
/ the result that the locality IL being
