$50, 900, and the Sewer has also en-
tered the list of winners. The judge

Fraction "A"
THE HENRY DISTRICT.
The Henry district is five miles north
of Marysvale In one group there are
nine claims OF granite and porphry for
nation, and is the counterpart of that
seen in Cripple Creek district. Some
of the assays show rock away up in
gold. There is one tunnel driven 800
feet and two shafts down a depth of
fifty feet each. Work on these claims
coming summer.
THE BRECKENRIDGE.
The Breckenridge lies south of the
Sewer, and work or this property is
steadily progressing. Jim Long, for
merly of Mercur, and an old-time Black
Hills miner, is the manager. tunnel
is being driven 80 feet to tap the vein.
The formation is porphyry and clear
of sandstone 1t is a manganese ore
black, and some brown.
DALTON MINE AND MILL.
The Dalton mine, owned by Salt
Lake parties, lies nine and a half miles
southwest of Marysvale, and from the
best obtainable reports must be con-
Sidered "a good property Those direct
ly interested are known to have done
but little talking, the while operations
have been going on in way that has
been remunerative and satisfactory l
dare say.
AT present there is but one shift on
as the snow is SO deep as to seriously
block all mining operations in that
high altitude-no wonder! Marysvale
is 1865 feet, and the Dalton is 1000
feet up in the air. I guess there's snow
there
Now, as to the Dalton. They have
been sacking ore there that goes $3.50
to the ton, in gold They have been
taking it from an eighteen-inch vein.
There are three workings in the Dali
ton. The upper is in $50 feet, with a
cross-cut of 81 feet. The old main
tunnel is in 700 feet Tunnel No 2 is
in 800 feet, and it is from that they
got the rich ore. There are people
"close in" who profess to believe that
ore worth $4,000 to the ton has been
taken out. The mill is two and half
miles below the mine, and the ore is
packed down. The ore is a black telu-
rum, and free milling. The hanging
wall sometimes leans one way, then
again changes about to the opposite,
seemingly coquettish in maintaining an
espionage over its golden treasure
rocked by trackite and porphyry.
AS soon as the snow disappears, a
full force of men will be put on, and
the future will witness some things
about the Dalton that reports as given
out in the past did in no way fore
shadow.
THE OLD ANTELOPE.
The Old Antelope property lies in the
low foot hills, and is situated about
five miles north of Marysvale, within
two miles of the projected line of rail-
road, a good wagon road leading di-
rectly to it. This property is alleged
to have been discovered by Joe Smith,
now of the Marion mine in Mercur,
and considerable work has been done
upon it. 1t is owned by Judge W. H.
McCarty, Jeptha Nelson of Monroe,
and Mrs. Starks of Marysvale.
There is one shaft sunk 100 feet, and
two tunnels run in, one being now in
65 feet, and the other IS feet. On the
dump there is 5000 or 5000 tons of
ore. The vein has been stopped out
from the lower workings to the sur
face, and runs SIG in silver with some
gold No work is being done on it at
present though arrangements are be-
ing made for resumption at an early
date. Some very rich ore was taken
out in the years gone by, and hauled
to the railroad 100 miles distant, and
accorded a handsome revenue even I'M
der such adverse conditions as then eX-
listing. The owners are now getting
patent for the property.
HANSEN AND JONES GROUP.
In the same district as the Antelope
and Copperopolis, Hansen and Jones of
Richfield have a group of three claims
! that are very promising, the surface
workings even showing a value of Sc
and 81 in gold and carrying with it so
ounces of silver. The contact is an
iron granite porphyry Within the
| next few weeks it is intended to COM
mence work and push it all that is pos
sfble, as the owners believe they have
a very good thing.
GOLD MOUNTAIN MINING DIS
TRICT
In the Gold Mountain mining district
there are fully five hundred claims.
The ores found there are in every way
q separate proposition from the great
ore bodies lying in the Marysvale min
ing district. This is readily shown
from the fact that the Gold mountains
/ ores do not run lead and copper, and
again they are free milling the while
the Marysvale ores are largely of a
smelling and concentrating character
so far as developed, though it is not
! impro bable that the future will disclose
a free milling, as the veins from the
| oGld Mountain can be traced for the
entire distance over into the Marys-
vale district.
THE SEWER MINE.
The Sewer mine is the great one of
all the Gold Mountain mining dis
trict and three shifts are being steadi-
ly worked, as on the 14th of June the
tranesfer will be made to the English
syndicate which has already made part
payment under stipulations agreed
upon with the present owners.
The Sewer is thirty-f1ve miles south
west of Richfield, and was located in
1892 by a man named Tompkins. 1t
was purchased from him, and then in
corporated for $1,225,00O with 100000
shares at a par value of SIS each.
Charles Lammersdorf is president,
| general manager and treasurer of the
company, and is all the while out at
personal supervision. Mrs. hammers
dorf is also one of the directory, and
possesses a knowledge of mining
scarcely second to that of her husband
| Notwithstanding her executive ability
and good business tact in all concern
| ing mining operations, she is a woman
who will in 10 way be classed as
