The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-12-06

Deep Creek, Utah, Nov. 81 have
frequently been asked what we have
out here" and the extent of our min
eral belt
70 these inquiries 1 would say that
we have at least is mining camps.
Some claim %, and if either of them
were located within so miles of Salt
Lake one or more railroads would long
ago have extended to what is probably
one of the best mineralized sections
Of the west, and in consequence Salt
Lake would have almost doubled its
population and taxable property. But,
as it is, the clainholders here are still
living in huts and cabins waiting for
j railroad that is ofttimes built On
paper. but which never materialiZes.
In fact, the people of Salt Lake have
been so dilatory regarding this mat
ter ana are SO Indifferent to the OPP
portunities offered in the Deep Creek
country that by right they should in
the end lose the trade and wealth of
this section, and as a rebuke no regret
4 would be experienced by the people of
this country should the Southern Ea-
citic company built into this region by
way OF ToanO, and divert the traffic
of this section to San Francisco; or
should the Rio Grande Western extend
its line from Tintic and throw the
trade Of Deep Creek camps to Denver
direct.

port just what IS in sight, for he will
see quartZite lodges from ten feet to a

and great viii be the showing when
depth Is attained The property will
be worked all winter and the gentle

1t, it is the intention to put in one of
