Gated the claim again from time to
time.
In 1881 Daniel McLamare went to
Spring Greek and discovered some very
fr-e claims, rich in silver, from which
have seen assays as high as LOO
ounces to the ton. and the lead viii so
as high as so per cent.
Dr.. J. NJ. Bailey IN the same year
made the discovery of the Queen of
Sheba on a spur of the Deep Creek
range OF mountains and east from the
first discoveries about five miles,
The Queen of Sheba is now being
worked under bond and lease by
George D. Haven. who has put in a
plant, with three Crawford mills, which
arr constantly running on good ore.
The Queen has ore in four places. and
In fact wherever they dig they find gold
quartz that will pay to mill. In one
place they have cut across 40 feet of
rich ore and now have Is feet on the
ledge and still going ahead with ore
This is the largest body of gold ore
that have seen since 1 was at De
Lamar.
The other prospects are showing ore
bodies from six TO ten feet wide, and
they have the appearance of each be-
ing separate le8ses running through
the Hcghack mountain. a prospect
tunnel of 100 feet is being run to tap
a ledge for working purposes.
The Queen group consists of five
claims. and all show gold quartz.
On the north side of the Hogback hill
there are some good claims. One Of
them is owned by Merrill and Young.
Next and adjoining on the north end
of the Queen is a prospect owned by
the Faust family. Further east and
still further ~ the mountain are two
tunnels being driven by Joe Dunbar
and VIII Richards of Salt Lake. All
these claims have ore and it is Of the
same class as the Queen.
Further south on the same range of
mountains are the holdings of Thomas
Elerbeck and Mr.. Edwards. the sheep
man.
The Jumbo is down so feet with a
good showing of rich gold ore. The
Jumbo is arranging to work four men
all winter in getting out ore and in
prospecting the properties
look upon the Jumbo as great
property, and if the Queen and Jumbo
were situated near Salt Lake City-say
a Bingham or Mercur-they would be
worth hundreds of thousands of dol
lars.
On the south of the Queen of sheba
Mr. Merrill is now making a good
showing.
MT huley ana company nave a tun-
mel in and expect to strike it soon An
the claims on the east side of the
Spring district are purely gold. On
the west side the ore carries silver, lead
and some gold.
It is repeatedly asked, why is it
that the Muldoon is not worked?" This
is patented property and stock
company. 1t runs well in silver. lead
and gold. The mine is we'll situated
below water and is surrounded With an
abundance of fuel and mining timbers
There are about 200 claims in the
district, about 10 or II of which are
patented; but there is plenty of coun-
try to prospect in as yet, and one need
not go to Klondike for gold as long
as it exists out here.
The health of the people in Deep
Creek is good. The appendicitis cpl
demic has not struck the creek as yet
and I am of the opinion that 1t will not
as there are but few people here who
have the requisite $500 that is required
to have it operated on
Many still doubt that the railroad
will be built. l begin to believe, how
ever. that it viii be. as we hear moth
ing more about it in the newspapers.
