CHAPTER XIV.

After following down the bank OF the
arroyo mile or two we struck INTO
horse trail which led down toward the
,ila river. In and ont among thlnly
wooded foothills, alternating with
stretches of grassy valley, sometimes de-
scending abruptly into ravine, with
steep bank TO climb beyond, the party
wound its way in single file. The out
law chief rode in the van, followed by
his two men, Lupita and Carmen came
next, and Felix and ] brought up the
rear In our dark ride through conn-
try unfamiliar to us we had to trust our
safety and Garments TO the good 1alth

In Hot Springs District.

Interest in the mineral deposits of
Hot Springs district continues I'M
abated, and The Herald is informed
that work is being pushed in the de-
velopment of the new finds on the
bench between the Warm and Hot
Springs.
The principal claim in this locality
is the Mascot, which is owned by VIII
Griffiths, Frank Newhouse and Bert
Mailman. This claim is located only
about three-Quarters OF a mile from
the street car line. These gentlemen
are working three men in the develop
ment OF the property, and at a depth
of three feet the ledge has widened
out and the latest assays showed val
ues of 1920 in gold to the ton.
Quite number OF claims have been
located in the vicinity of the Mascot,
among the locators being Harry Ed
wards and George Silks, and there are
quite number who are watching the
work that IS being done in the eX-
ploration of the ledge.
1t IS stated that a number of well
known mining men have visited the
scene Of the new finds, and that they
are OF the opinion that the formation
is almost identical with that of Her
cur: and it is claimed that if the ore
from the two places is quito gether it
is hard to tell which is which.

STRIKE IN THE ANT.
Valuable Discovery in a Montana
Mine.

During the past week. says the
Butte Miner, an important strike has
been reported from Granite county
which may eventually mean more for
Phillipsburg than has the famous
Granite or Bi-Mentallic. The strike
was made in the bottom of 175-foot
shaft on the Ant claim, property To-
Gated midway between Iohilliosburg
and Granite, only few rods distant
from the grade, near the road house
1t is owned by Con and Barney Peoples
and Frank Hughes. Mt. Hughes has
been at work on the property for some
time past, with a couple of men as
sisting him. and while sinking they I'M
covered the lead which fairly dazzled
them. The vein is about ei-ht feet
wide, containing very rich streak of
ruby silver some ten inches in width,
which assays from $50 to 1000 ounces
in silver TO the ton.
The Ant claim is located about so
rods north from the Elizabeth shaft,
and is in direct line for tapping the
much ANTICIPATED north vein of the
Granite lead, which the late Captain
John w. Plummer and other mining
men familiar with the Granite have al
ways maintained existed, and which
they declared would excel the south
vein in richness and extent. The dip

Our bennington correspondent
writes us that a staff of some q
engineers and surveyors. the most
skilled in their professions that could
be obtained, are in the field and have
taken possession of the so-long talked
of scheme of irrigating over 100000
acres of land known as the Sewer
desert, which is located in Juab, Mil
lard. Sewer and Sanpete counties.
The originators of this enterprise
have appropriated the exclusive rights
and titles of all the unappropriated
water flow of the Sewer river above
bennington. to its source, d distance
of over 80 miles. and controlling a
watershed of nearly 5000 square miles.
The scheme cOntemplateS the i'm
pounding of all the surplus waters of
this drainage area in three enormous
reservoirs, one of which, when filled
Will cover an area of "a square miles
with an average depth of SO feet. This
reservoir will be by far the largest
known artificial reservoir in the world.
The next largest one being in India.
Besides the irrigation of this enor-
mouse body of land. which only needs
water TO produce the finest and richest
crops of any territory in the United
States. the plans are TO utilize a por-
ton of the waters for hydraulic min
ing purposes with a fall of $50 feet,
and the generation of over 5000 electri-
cal horse power to be distributed in
the surrounding mining camps at
distance of % to 40 miles, and to open
new mines in the adjoining mountains
that are rich in metallic ores, but
which cannot be worked on account of
the total absence of water for the use
of man and animals. Ground has al
ready been broken and a number of
laborers are working with picks and
shovels digging test pits to ascertain
the nature of the sub-soils for the
foundations of the three stone dams
which will be built at different places
across the river in narrow mountain
gorges which viii impound the here
tofore uncontrolled natural flow of one
of the largest rivers in the state of
Utah.
This irrigation enterprise was origi-
mated some three years ago by DIR. T.
b. Beatty, of Salt Lake City, who is,
now president of the bennington
Water & Land company. He has since
devoted all his energy and influence in
the endeavor to interest capitalists in
this enormous undertaking, and every
one interested in the prosperity of
Utah should congratulate him upon
his success.
The field work is being executed
under the direction of j. T. Van Il
Gestel. a celebrated Dutch civil !
engineer who has had great expert |
ence in the project and execution of |
irrigation, hydraulic and electric |
enterprises. He is assisted by o. r. |
Young of Salt Lake City, as chief |
engineer, who so successfully COM
pleted the planning and construction
of the Mt. Nebo Irrigation company's
works, for which success he deserves
due credit.

prise has already established its head

Around Baker CITY

A. NJ. Grant, the popular representa-
tive of the Colorado Iron Works com
pany, has just returned from a visit
up into Oregon. where he visited Baker
City, Granite, Bourne and other camps.
Mr.. Grant, in speaking about the
mining outlook for the localities in
Oregon visited by him during his trip,
states that they have a wonderful fu-
ture in store for them, and that he is
satisfied that this portion of Oregon
will yet make a wonderful record as
a producer OF the precious metals.
During his stay in Oregon, Mr. Grant
visited the Virginia Consolidated mine,
ten miles from Baker City, and he
states that on this property, which is
owned bv Dave Keith of Park City. a
fine hoist has been built and a shaft
IS being sunk, the intention being to
develop the mine in a most thorough
manner
On Cracker creek. near Bourne. the
mines are showing up well. and as

of the vein in the Ant is westward and
is strong and we'll defined, and as it so
closely resembles the Granite ore the
owners are quite confident that their
find is the north vein of the Granite
lead. which. if true, means that they
have suddenly multi-millionaires
and that new era of prosperity has
dawned upon the Flint Creek mining
district. Let the fact be known that
the north lead of the Granite has been
tapped in the Ant and in short time
every mining claim in that vicinity will
be operated upon.
1t is presumed that some members of
the Granite company have had an idea
that the Ant was about in the right
location as several years ago they Of
fered the owners $4,000 for the claim,
but the price asked was $4,000, and
the deal was not made.
