The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-06-26

following from the columns of the
Richfield Advocate concerning the dis
tricts above named and giving a list
OF leading properties in Gold Mountain,
viz:
MOUNT BALDY.
The known mineralized ore of Mount
Badly is some 80 miles long, northwest
and southeast, by about ten miles wide
The southern ten-mile slice of the hill
is named the Badly district. The Ohio
district is just west of the town of
Marysvale- and stretches ten miles
north from the north line of Badly dis
trict. From the Ohio's northern bound
airy line ten miles north TO the southern
edge of Sewer county is the domain
famed as Gold Mountain district. Ohio
and Badly districts. however, are more
commonly called the Marysvale coun-
try. while the north end retains its
regular district name of Gold Noun
tain.
The age of the Marysvale country as
a mining region is about % years;
Gold Mountain is a youngster of some
five summers. The ores of the Marvs-
vale mines are generally found in a
lime-quartzite formation; most of Gold
Mountains hot stuff is in porDhyrY.
All kinds of minerals are run upon
near the Vale; Gold Mountain is built
upon the monometallic. single gold
standard. with an occasional ledge of
ore showing one-third value in sill
YER. She don't monkey with the baser
metals and her free milling ores are
all very susceptible to treatment by a
combination process of amalgamation,
concentration and cyanide.
Best acquainted with the nearest
camp and not wishing to shiny on
the side of the Piute Pioneer. a bright
little paper ably edited by ]. F. Bruaell
at Marysvale, the Advocate confines
this synopsis henceforth to the
GOLD MOUNTAIN DISTRICT.
A great impetus was given this do
main by the extension of the Rio
Grande Western south from Salina a
year ago this month. For at least five
years the country had been known to
be silicious. There had been proved
the existence of mammoth well-defined
veins traversing the mountain from
northwest to southeast. pregnant with
free milling quartz, workable to 80 per
cent Of its bimetallic values. Water
and timber were there in abundance.
rich streaks were occasion
ally encountered in the lodges of aver
age SIS ore and the scant development
Of the quickening district offered big
to prospectors. Therefore, /
with the advent of the locomotive civil !
izer, Gold Mountain has leaped quick /
INTO prominence.

though, let it be said that many OF the |

'itizens of Richfield, the natural aud
