Marysvale. July 12-No one except
those who know of the vast mineral
treasures locked up IN the everlasting
hills" to the west, north and southwest
OF this tree embo vered hamlet, would
ever surmise thai it is mining camp
that is destined to become the base of
supplies for large portion OF the
golden belt thai gir'ts the waist OF
Giant Badly and his family of snow
clad peaks. There is not a spot in this
inteImountain region that presents the
unique attractions which so distinct
lively clusters in and around this partly
mining. partly pastoral and agricui-
tural region. To the west is the lofty
Badly range, gashed with veins of
precious metals, with forests on every
northern exposure, and mountain
streams pouring their crystal waters
into the little river which sinuously
creeps through the meadows of the
narrow valley.
To the north a mountain spur, or
arm, of eruptiVe rocks reaches out
from the Badly range and grasps the
eastern mountains as if to hold them
together. This Siamese Twins-lke lig
ament is severed from the Badly range
IN d Q6ED gore QOM II WHICH the oS-
Vier river tumbleS on its mission OF
good cheer TO the thirsty fields of Sc
Vier and Willard counties. Up through
this same gorge the Rio Grande West
ems iron rails bend in and out among
the jutting cliffs and rocky aburments
with graceful curves and a steady
purpose to reach
THE VAST WEALTH
of southern Utah and 10 awaken hum
dTeds of slumbering industries along
its path TO che Pacific ocean.
What greater inducements does cap
ital want than are presented here for
profita ole investment? Let il come and
reach in and under the rocky ribs of
old Badly and from a thousand treas
IRE chambers bring forth the shining
silver and glittering gold which for
ages and ages have been seeking a
means of egTess that they might join
the great stream of wealth and circu-
late in the arteries and veins of indus
try and commerce.
At several places along the base of
the mountains TO the west are several
deserving of attention. Among them
THE DEER TRAIL
group stands out in bold prominence
as being the greatest of them all" II

type of veins. with quartzite foot and
lime hanging walls. The vein is opened
by a tunnel which catches the ledge
or mammoth deposit within a few feet
of the surface. Several thousand feet
OF drifts and cross-cuts have opened
up such a body of Ore as is rarely seen
even in the greatest of Utah's mines
The vein varies from 10 TO 80 feet in
thickness and viii average at least 20
feet There is rot a drift, cToss-cut or
upraise run in barren ground. All are
in ore of uniform grade and which

BEST PROPOSITION
today in Utah for a combination reduc-
ton plant. This fact is appreciated by
men who are amply able, and who have
men al work cleaning out the mine
and SeIing ready for further develop
ment and the extraction Of ores. That
the recent sampling and tests for treat
merc were entirely satisfactory is
proven by the fact that work contin-
yes, and the prospect is bright for the
erection Of a large reduction plant on
The Deer Trail group before the beau

To the north Of Bullion canyon and

Monarch group. better known as the
COPPER BELT.
This is a assure in trachite and yields

ties as to stamp il as a high-grade
mine. The SHAFT is down 300 feet, in
ore the entire distance. Further sink
ing was discontinued because of water.
A tunnel has been driven in some dis
tance. which. when completed, viii tap

thoroughly acquainted with the Mon

zas of Utah.
With a break of only few hundred
feet the Copper Belt ledge can be
