Dutch Mountain, Clifton Mining
District, Jan. 23.-Dutch mountain is
assuredly one of the richest portions
of Clifton district. and there is nc
doubt but that when the iron horse
comes snorting out into this region
but that we can load him heavily with
the output of the mines of the camp.
The Oldest mine in this portion OF
the district is known as the Consoli-
dated About 400 feet of work has
been done on this property, and there
are now several hundred tons of ore
on the dump which will run from 81
to so per cent lead, Is TO 40 ounces in
silver and SLIGO to So in gold to the
ton. There is a large body of ore
blocked out in this mine which is
known as the Wilson property and is
owned by NJ. A. Garrison. The mine
can be worked very cheaply, and when
the time comes il will fall into line as
one of the regular shippers of the
camp.
The Monster group of four claims, in
the same neighborhood shows up q
fine body of f1uXing ore thar assays 80
per cent lead, 20 to so ounces in silver
and $3.50 in gold to the ton.
Besides the properties above men
promising prospects on Dutch mount
ain, among the number being the AL
via, the Washer, Protection, Miner S
Dream and Uncle Sam, all of which
show good bodies carrying gold.
silver, lead and copper, and it
is no idle boast to say that the mines
on the mountain already developed can
furnish a trainload of ore a day, and
besides paying the freight and working
oh
the mine-owners good money; and I
do not think it will be so very long
now before this section will enjoy rail-
road advantages, as several railroad
men have been in this vicinity of late
looking after mining properties.
NJ. r. Evans of Salt Lake has some
very promising claims on the mount
ain, among them being the Chester,
Accident and Dugout, all of which give
promise of developing into prolific pro-
ducers. On the Accident there is a
showing of 20 feet of ore that averages
10 ounces in silver to the ton and a
small percentage in copper. In the
Chester, on which development work is
now being pushed, some very rich ore
has been uncovered in the tunnel, and
il is stated that assays have been OBJ
tanned showing values of 200 ounces
in silver and 80 per cent lead to the
ton.
The Uncle Sam is patented ground
and is owned by H. T. Goldsmith.
There is a strong vein on this property.
and the ore. which is a carbonate,
shows values of 80 per cent lead and
from 80 to so ounces in silver, besides
loads of this mineral on the dump
ready for shipment as soon as the t,ail-
road enters this country.
The Washer is owned by W. S. and
]. S. Garrison. This property is
crossed by two lodges one OF which is
bearing and carries gold values
as high as $14 to the ton, while the
other is a silver-lead ore, one ton of
which was shipped to the Sandy smelt-
er short time ago, the returns show
ing a net profit of $22.5o for the lot.
There is four-foot body of this ore
and all that is needed to list it as a
heavy producer is transportation ia
cilities.
The Emma, which is one of the
largest and most promising producers
in the district is owned by George
The ledge on this ground
crops out for a distance of 800 feet on
the surface and the average value of
the ore is 10 per cent lead and from 20
to 40 ounces in silver. There is a good
spring on the Emma that runs at least
a miners inch of water in the dry sea-
son.
The Alvia is the most promising cop
per property in this portion OF the dis
trict. The deposit in this ground is a
large one and samples of ore have
been taken from the mine showing Is
per cent copper and SIS in gold to the
ton.
1t is believed that there will be con-
siderable activity in this district dur
ing the coming season, and when we
get the long tall1ed-of railroad we viii
show the people of Utah that in the
Deep Greek country Dame Nature has
been most prodigal in her gifts.
