The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-03-13

James r. Clark, one of the pioneers
Of State Line district, in Iron county,
who is in the city, informs The Herald
that he has sold out his. interest in
the station at Clark's Wells, not far
from State Line, and that for the time
being he has moved his family to this
city while he devotes his time to the
ests.
Mr.. Clark is as enthusiastic as ever
over the future of Stats Line, and he
says that it is his intention to stay
with the camp until it is proven what
there is there, and he is of the opinion
that all that is needed to prove the
permanency of the ore deposits is
depth, and he further states that the
deeper the workings in the mine, the
richer the ore becomes.
At the present time work is being
pushed in the development Of the Ophir
mine in which he is interested. and ne
informs The Herald that his partners
now have a shipment of high grade
ore ready for shipment, and that the
lot will be sent in as soon as the roads
become passable, as the snow is from
two to three feet deep on the level at
Line City, and in the gulches and can
yons it is from 20 to 80 deep.
The heavy snow, according to Mr.
Clark, has put a quietus on prospect
ing. Still, considerable work is being
done in the development of the mines
and prospects of the camp. and it is be-
lieved that by spring the camp will
make rapid strides forward.
Among the other properties of the
district the Utah Spur is showing up in
good shape, and work has been re-
sumed in the development of this prom
Using prospect.
Baker Stinson, Peak, Williams and
Root are hard at work in the opening
of the Burro, which is one of the rich
est mines of the district, and there is
no doubt but that this property will
resume shipments of high grade ore in
the early summer.
The Gold Hill Mining company, re-
Gently incorporated, is doing some eff
fective work in the development of its
valuable property. and it is hoped and
believed that within a few weeks more
the ledge will be cut and that the
property will then be on a paying
basis.
Kelly & Emerson are hard at work
in showing up what is in the Mont
gomery, in which two feet of good
milling ore has been uncovered.
Cecil Newell. who has one of the
most promising prospects in the camp,
is now taking out gold ore that carries
values of from SIS to 500 to the ton;
while Lambert and Drake, who have
disclosed a fine body of milling ore in
their mine, are proving it up, and it
grows bigger and bigger as work pro-
crosses.
The Big Sunflower boys are also de-
veloping their property, which is show
ing up in elegant shape as depth is at
tanned
In speaking of Eagle Valley district,
just across the line, in Nevada. Mr..
Clark states that the snowfall there
is not as heavy as it is on the Utah
side of the divide, and that work is
being vigorously pushed in the develop
ment of the Allen G. Campbell group.
and also on the Colonel Pickett ground:
both of which are mammoth gold prop
ositions which give promise of opening
out into dividend payers when equipped
with mills, which will probably be done
this summer. The Lyle ground is also
being worked. and Mr.. Clark informs
The Herald that a shaft is being sunk
on the ledge on this claim and that the
bottom of the same is in a fine BODY of
high grade silver ore
