Some excitement was caused in min
ing circles in this city yesterday after
noon by the exhibition OF quartz SHOW
! ing gold in its native state, which, 1t is
claimed by interested parties. was taken
from the Mascot ground, Just this side
! prospect and there is good reason to be-

/ of the Mascot in Wednesdays Herald,
and since that time a good many mining
men have visited the property. which is
only two blocks from the street car line.
George Silks has a promising prospect in
the same locality.
But little has been heard of late con-
corning the Peepstone district. adjoining
Camp FLOYD on the east, and yet Ii is
believed that this is a gold district of
merit and that in time productive and
paying mines Will be found there As
| it is, while the locations there have not
| been abandoned by any means, it looks
/ as If ii will be a waiting game as far as
! development work is concerned-waiting
| for some one else to do the work and
! find out what there is in the camp. The
| surface indications of PeepStOne are eX
cellent but depth is what is needed to
| show up the camp when ii will doubt
less be proven that it is as prolific in its
deposits as Camp Floyd or any other dis
trict in Utah

1t is understood that there will be con-
siderable activity this summer in the

which adjoins the State Line district, in
Iron county. this state. writes to friends |
in this city that this is the making of
one of the greatest gold camps in the

are mammoth in PROPORTIONS. some of
them being over 600 feet in width. and
at the grass roots they carry gold values /
IF 50 to $50 to the ton, and the ore is /
free milling. Mr.. Johnson has spent the !
winter in Eagle valley. and he states |
that with depth the gold values are in |
creasing. and in his letter he says that /
= is the intention to erect a mill on the |
ground in the spring. There Is a good /
spring of water on the group and tim 1

hard at work in the development of the
property, and the latest word from him
vas to the effect that it was showing
up in a most encouraging manner. There
are other promising mines and prospects
in Eagle Valley. and it is the general be-
l:ef that during the coming summer the
district VIII make a remarka BILE record.
and if the gold deposits are as plentiful
as reported. we may expect within a short
time TO hear that an effort is being made
to have the yellow metal demonetized.
