In Camp, Blue Lake, Base of Mt.
Badly. July 19.-From Indian creek. we
followed the mineral belt of the New
ton district south along the base of the
mountain to Sheep Rock-so called be-
cause of numerous boulders on the hill
side resembling a fioc' sheep.
Between Indian cre.: and Sheep
Rock the country is Highly minerflize
but few lodges being seen along dis
lance of about six miles. At the place
just mentioned, the Sheep Rock COM
pany has a group of six claims. The
country rock is peculiar and worthy a
brief description.
Below the vein, and running north
westerly and southeasterly. the forma-
ton is light colored, highly silicious
porphyritic belt, which shows only on
the points of the ridges that project out
from the mountain, the intervening
portions being covered with debris.
Above the vein there is another belt en-
tirely distinct from the lower one. 1t
is a reddish-brown porphyry the color,
so l am informed, being derived from
the presence of copper, which seems
reasonable. as will be shown further on.
Between the lower and upper belts is
situated the Sheep Rock group. For
several years the western and eastern
shareholders of this company have
been having over the possession of the
treasury stock. etc. with the result that
no work has been done on the group
for some time.
However. the property fully justifies
the struggle for a controlling interest.
1t is
A MAGNIFICENT LEDGE.
and sufficiently developed to prove the
permanency of the vein. and the value
of the ore, which averages over $50 in
free gold to the ton.
Adjoining the Sheep Rock on the
north is the Golden Fleece group of
four claims. which is owned by the In
dian Creek Mining & Milling company,
of which C. W. Miles is president and
manager, Tom Ferguson, vice presi-
dent. II. Eisman treasurer. and John
Beck and Simon Bamberger directors
The fact that it is the extension of the
Sheep Rock ledge is sufficient evidence
of its value

one of the most experienced and sue
cessful prospectors in Utah, began a

covered what promises to be one of the
really great mines of Utah.
Mr. Farr named it the Ute. and To-
ca ed five other claims. The country
rock is the same as that of the Sheep
Rock Just described. with the addition
of a cross vein carrying copper as well
as gold. The copper vein lies above
the Ute ledge in the reddish-brown por-
phyry, and intersects the latter at a
point near where the shaft is now be-
ing sunk.
On the upper side of, and running
parallel with the copper vein, is a lime
spar ledge. which is the only instance
where limestone in any form was seen
in the Newton district. and furnishes
strong evidence of the great depth of
the copper gold vein. A shaft over so
reet in depth is now down by the side of

owner A pretty hard rain was fall
ing and our party was well moistened,
but enthusiasm was not dampened, and
up through the wet bushes we climbed
the steep hillside and were rewarded
with a brief inspection of strong vein
of fine, free gold ore. The country rock
is porphyry and the district roundabout
presents a firsG-class opening for pros
pectors that is practically virgin
ground.
With the claims just described ends
the southeastern portion of the Newton
district, so far as locations are con-
cerned, and with them ends the tramp
around Mt. Baldy's magnificent belt of
gOld-bearing quartz. With the eXcep-
ton of the eastward prolongation of
the Gold Mountain division of the min
eral zone across the Sewer river into
the hills north of Marysvale, the gold
belt surrounds Mt. Baldy's hoary dome
at a distance of about six miles from
the mountain, and will average fully
four miles across, FORMING d ClICie Oh
nearly so miles in circumference. Be
tween Gold Mountain and the Ohio dis
tricts there is no surface break in the
Groupings. There is a continuation of
the Ohio division into that of the Mt.
Badly district TO the southwest of
Marysvale. In the Mt. Badly district
the belt bends westerly and groupings
extends to the divide between the Sc
vier and Beaver valleys. From the d.
vide to the south fork of North creek
on the western slope, there is a break
of perhaps six miles. Between Wild
cat canyon, the northern limit of the
Newton district, and Gold mountain,
there is a reputed barren tract of six
to eight miles, and even this is relieved
by the presence, about midway, of the

mines. Closer prospecting may yet close
the gaps in the gold zone and make ii

In concluding the series of letters
from the Mt. Badly gold belt. it may
be well TO add that in almost every
gulch there are, one or more springs
and in every canyon there is a creek

Before leaving the subject of the
Beaver valley mines. it will be well to

The hour quickly passed, and it was

when Iunche on-time came.
Jack ad been fortunate enough to find
a handful OF wild straw berries, of which
he was very proud, because the rest had
laughed at him when he suggested a
berrying party. He was not selfish at
all, though, for he divided his find among
his friends.
The flowers were first sprinkled with
water from the brook near by and then

appeared forever.

Just tnen they were passing the cottage
where poor old Mrs. Melton lived. The
old lady was sitting by the window and
her face lighted up with a sad smile at
the sight of the happy youths. Mrs
Melton was cripple, her lower limbs
being withered and useless, and she could
only leave the house when carried in the
strong arms of some friend.
Many of our gay young folks had often
heard their parents tell of how she was
once beautiful girl, the light and pride
of the village; of how she had married
and then one night the dread fire demon
had swept down upon the little home, and
how in short time he had torn from her
loving arms husband and child and left
her poor. helpless cripple All this and
m ore they knew, and now, when they saw
the sweet smile on the patient face
Charles question was answered. Well

Their gentle rap on the door was answered
by soft come in."

Soon her table was covered and her lap
filled with the fragrant blossoms. AS the

Many people 90 out into the woods and
fields on the first day of May to gather
flowers.
They call it "going a-Maying."
This is done a great deal in England.
Mayday parties are also very common
there. A little girl is chosen as queen,
then she Is crowned with flowers and the
other children dance merrily around her,
ready and willing to obey her slightest
wish.
Years and years ago even grown people
all over England used to celebrate the 1st
Of May.
They went out early in the morning and
gathered the flowers with which 10 trim
the doors and windows OF their home.
They also carried or sent bouquets to their
friends.
In every village throughout the country
stood a Maypole as high as the mast of a
ship. This was decorated on the festal
day with wreaths and ribbons.
A throne of green was erected for the
queen, on which she sat and watched the
merry young folks as they danced around
the pole.
The milkm aids wore dainty white caps
and aprons, and drove their cows through
the streets, the meek-eyed animals having
their horns hung with garlands OF bright
blossoms.
The whole day was spent in feasting and
dancing by the villagers, and sometimes
even the king and queen would join in the
fun and sport.
Nowadays very few Maypoles are to be
found in England.

baskets OF pretty, fragrant blossoms, the
