on this a long tunnel shows the con-
tinutty of the ledge that is so distinct
iy marked on the surface. There are
several other openings on the group,
all of which show well-defined bodies
Of gold quartz, all of which assay well,
and Oh one of the claims there is a so
foot incline which has disclosed a fine
body of ore between well defined walls
which viii carry average values of 500
in gold to the ton.
The Jumbo, as its name implies, is a
mammoth proposition. as it has been
demonstrated that the ledge on this
property is 80 feet in width. A 40-foot
shaft has been sunk on the east wall
of this immense vein in seven fest of
gold quartz that will carry average
values of from $40 to $12 in the yellow
metal to the ton. Between the two
walls of this great ledge there is a 40
foot body of spar that carries but liz
tie value, if any, but as there is a 4
foot pay streak on the east and two
feet on the west, this of itself would
justify the belief that with depth
magnificent body of milling ore would
be disclosed in this property.
There is hardly an opening on the
group where pieces of quartz cannot
be found in which free gold can be
seen. and. taken all in all, there is no
good reason why, with development,

THE BIG FOURTEEN.
The Sunflower group of four claims
is located on Rice hill, just west of the
Rice group, described above. This group
of claims is or was owned by IA citi-
zens of Cedar City, and it was not long
after its location before the miners OF
the district began to call it the Big
Y II
soon after for its development was
given the same name. And as it turns
out, the people of Cedar are in on the
ground floor in this proposition, as the
Big Fourteen has all the earnlarks of
coming to the front as one of the rich
est producers in the camp.
Andrew Cory of Cedar City, who has
been chasing bonanZas for years, is
the president of the Big Fourteen. John
Higbee is president, Myron Higbee is
treasurer, and John S. woodbury. is sec
company are the owners of seven more
claims in the district which were not
Incorporated in the company. gtF
II is the general opinion in State Line
that the Big Sunfiower or Big Fourteen
ledge is continuation of the vein eX-
posed on the Louise claim on Drake and
Lambert hill. across the canyon to the
south. In any event. it is a very strong
one and we'll defined, and considerable
work has been done in its development.
Some of the richest gold quartz ever
found in'the camp has been taken from,
this ground, and the different openings
prove to a certain extent the permaE
nency of the ore deposits. ~
On the Big Fourteen ground there is
a vein of ore that has been puzzle
to the miners Of the camp for some
time. This is a blush looking rock
that had the appearance of slate or,
lime. and for sometime, in doing de-
velopment work, it was thrown over
the dump. Later on, however, pieeet
of it was roasted in a blacksmith's
forge, and the owners Of the property
were surprised to find that the heat had
driven high values in gold and silver
to the surface of the ore, where it re-.
NAMED in the form of blisters, beads
and small globules. and when an as
say was made of the rock it was found
that it was rich in the precious metals,
silver predominating, and as there is
quite a large deposit of this mineral
in sight, it is believed that with thor
ough development the property will
make name for itself in due time.
THE UTICA 4
The Utica, on account of its location,
is probably one of the most valuable
of prospects in Left Hand gulch The
Utica is an extension of the Gold Belt,
on the Drake and Lambert hill but
is situated across the canyon on the
base or slope of Creole hill. and is sur
rounded by some of the best claims in
camp.
This ground has been developed near
