MAKING A GREAT RECORD.

The SLOGAN country is increasing in
prosperity every day. More men are
at work there now than ever before
and the pay roll has heached the
enormous sum of over $4,000 per day
A careful estimate of the lumber of
men employed in the mines there places
the number at S63, which at $3.50 per
day would give pay roll of 5000 per
day. Even in the early days of the
first discoveries in the SLOGAN. when
there was such a rush to that country,
the interest has never been so great as
it is now. In 1891 there were 119 claims
staked out and it was in the fall of 81
that the wonderful richness of the ore
was first demonstrated.
In 1892 there was a grand rush to
that country and the number of claims
staked out rose to 633. After that for
two years, in 1898 and 1894. the country
was practically dead and little interest
was taken in it. In 1895, however, the
attention of mining men was again at
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-02-08

tracted to the SLOGAN and prospectors
began to pour in there. In 1895, 63S
claims were staked, and last year 1,Os5
The indications are that the present
year will greatly exceed 1896.
