In their endeavors to corral the
wealth of the world, the Rothschilds
do not stop when they have taken the
pick and the choice of the gold pro-
ducers throughout the country. No,
not by any means, for they also see
great possibilities in copper mining,
and in silver mines that carry good
percentage in the yellow metal
OF all the people on the face of the
earth, the English are the most keen
for promising mining propositions, and
their attention now is being largely
directed to America for this line of
Investments and throughout the west
there is hardly a mining camp of
prominence that is escaping their
strictest scrutiny.
Headed by the RotIhschilds, English
capitalists and English syndicates are
now sending their agents and experts
into NEARLY every district in this
country and every property of more
than ordinary promise is being COB
bled up by them-they go like hot
cakes; and these people are welcomed,
FOR we have the mines, and they have
the stuff and the proper mixture of
these two necessities is sure to build
up any camp and any district, and this
is what we all want.
The Rothschilds have been operating
extensively in the United States during
the past few months. They have just
purchased one Of the largest copper
mines IN the west, at Butte, Montana;
they have been negotiating of late for
enc OF the most magnificent gold
bonanzas in Utah, and now, The Her.
aid is informed, they have cast long
ing eyes on one of the richest gold
and silver mines to be found in the
state.
This property. it is said, is the noted
Mammoth mine, in Tintic, a. property
that has produced its millions, and
that now, with it's immense ore bodies
exposed, with it's splendid new mill and
fine water system, is in better shaI e
today than ever before.
According TO The Heralds inform
ant. Henry Bratnober, the noted Mon
tana mining expert, will leave today
for Mammoth where he will be joined
by Hon. P. T. Farnsworth, and to-
getlher these two gentlemen will make
a superficial examination of the great
Mammoth mine, and if it comes up to
expectations, Mr.. Bratnober will call
in his assistants. and the property will
then be examined and sampled in a
most thorough manner.
It is understood that the Mammoth
management was 10th to allow an ex-
animation of the mine to be made, as
lit was well-satisffed with the present
and future outlook for the property
and it is also claimed that ever if the
examination of the property proves
satisfactory to the Rothschilds repre-
sentatives. that there is no assurance
that a sale will be made, unless at q
way-up figure; indeed, it is said thai
the agent of the Rothschilds were
staggered at the price named, and tina,
for a time they hesitared as t
whether or not they should persist il
their efforts even so much as t
make an examination of this greaa
bonanza
Whatever may be the result of these
negotiations, the Mammoth will be the
gamer; for nothing, unless it be tht
handsome price asked for the mine
wild deter our English cousins from
adding this great property to thei
string of bonanza producers in Thu
country

DUCK GREEK DISTRICT.
Judge Barbee's Opinion on This
Rich Mineral Country.

Judge Barbee's Opinion on This
Rich Mineral Country.
With the revival of the Deep Greek
railroad projects, renewed interest is
being manifested in the great and un-
sivaled resources of this country and in
the regions Immediately west of Deep
Creek, in White Pine county, New.
In Duck Creek mining district, in
this county, the si1ver-lead ore depos-
its are simply marvellous in their ex-
tent and value: and not only are lead
ores Co be found There, but in nearby
localities there are mines of dry ores.
such as gold and silver in quartz, both
free milling and silicious. which, with
the lead ores for a f1ux, could be
treated at a profit with a sIi1elter in the
camp.
The late Judge w. T. Barbee. who
was an authority on mining matters,
and who carefully examined the Duck
Creek country at one time, made a re-
port on the same, as follows:
Having spent part of two seasons
prospecting and investigating the min-
eral belt of the Duck Creek mining
district White Pine county, New,
am quite familiar with the same.
There are three characters of ore in
the district, viz: copper glance ore,
carrying from % to 100 ounces silver,
a copper stamen chloride-bromide ore
carrying more or less stedefeldite, or,
as ii is now called. black metal: this
is high grade ere, carrying from so
to $50 ounces silver The most impor-
tant ore in the belt is the lead-solid
galena-carrying from to 10 ounces
silver and from rs to 81 per cent lead.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-06-17

ore. In the district there is plenty
of water, amy amount of wood. and
an abundance of gold and silver ores.
and what more could a mill man ask
for, unless it was for the eagles already
coined?
A ten-stamp mill here would prove a.
paying enterprise.
The Opllir and Utah Spur mines,
both rich silver producers, are looking
well, and their owners are much pleas
ed over the outlook
Line City, our new town, is growing
substantially, and some neat structures
are going up here or are in contem-
plation.
To get to Line City take the Union
Pacific as far as Milford. From Mil
ford daily stages rum as far south as
Phoebe By taking one of these the
traveller can be set down at Desert
Springs, which is an "oasis on des-
ert,'' from which place the mines of the
Line district are but a few miles dis
tant.

ton as follows: Senator Gray, Willard
Salisbury, John L. Salisbury and 3.
L. Lewis. John F. Salisbury of Kent

all the markets of the world what lit
purpcrts to be worth, and that the
government keep all of its obligations
at all times redeemabie and payable
in the money of the standard adopted

world"

road would get by running through me
near Lake View, Tooele, Stockton, Dry
canyon, Ophir, Mercur and Columbia dis-
trict, to Deep Creek. Also what induce
ments the city as well as the citizens
would offer the company
We furnished the officers with a state
ment showing the probable tonnage the
mirieS IN the mining camps named would
ship, also a copy of a resolution passed
by the city council and a statement made
by some of the citizens living in or with
in three miles of Tooele City, to the ell
feet that they would give the right or
way through their farms, SuppoSrng the
line would be near the old Murray sur
vey. The resolution passed by the coun-
Gil rendered the road the right OF way
through the streets and the pubic square
for depot privileges.
On April H. in pursuance of the reso-
luton passed the council passed an
other resolution authorizing the mayor
and city recorder TO issue a deed 70 the
public square TO the Salt Lake ana "a
cifie Railroad company, one of the con-
ditions being that the president of the
company accept the donation within
sixty days. On the same date the coun.
ell passed an ordinance granting right of
way over and along East, MAN, West,
Jones. and Colman streets on the condl-
ton that the company accept the grant
within thirty days.
To my certain knowledge none of the
grants or inducements have been with
held or violated. These propositions were
all made in good faith and so far as |
am aware the parties are willing and
ready to fulfill them, notwithstanding
that the company has shown bad falth
in not accepting any one of the induce
rents within the time given. The time
has long since expired and l cannot
understand why any such accusations
can be made against the citizens OF
Tooele City The people are well dis
posed toward the road and are willing to
do anything within reason but they feel
the interview was unjust and uncalled

case. CHARLES r. MCBRIDE

THE NEW DORSEY DISTRICT.
Prospectors Find New
and Promising Gold Fields.

UruD-SIakeu PrOSDectOrS F1nU new
and Promising Gold Fields.
Hon. George w. E. Dorsey, always
active, pushing and enterprising, has
cast his bread upon the waters fgu-
ratively speaking, and COW 1T is coming
back to him in the shape of promising
gold finds
Two months ago Mr.. Dorsey grub
staked two prospectors and sent them
out into the country west of Mercur
and Tintic, and from recent reports it
looks as if they had struck bonanza,
and a gold one at that
From all accounts the prospectors
have been thoroughly examining the
country west of Tintic and east of
Dugway, and in this unorganized dis
trict they found assure vein in
quartzite that promises to develop
into a rich producer of the yellow met
al. The ore is a. free milling quartz,
the vein being eight feet wide, from
two feet to thirty inches of which
is ore that, ait depth of only eight
feet. carries gold values of SIG to the
ton.
So encouragi is the outlook for the
new find that Mr.. Dorsey has already
let a contract for the driving of a 30
foot tunnel on the ledge, and for every
foot that the tunnel is driven a depth
of two feet will be gained.
Mr.. DogTsey's meqp have made eighteen
locations on the newly discovered min
eral belt. and 1T is his intention to
thoroughly develop the group.
The country where the discovery was
made is very rugged, but it abounds
in timber and water; and, what is also
in its favor, it is only about three
miles distant from the proposed routes
of the Deep Creek railroads Mr. Dor
Sey will go out soon to take a look at
the new camp, and the railroad off
Gals who leave Mammoth today for
the purpose of inspecting the Deer
Creek country will examine the same
on their way out.
When the district is organized, which
will soon be done, The Herald would
suggest that it be called Dorsey min
