THE La SAL MOUNTAINS.
Prospectors Now Rushing In Prepared for
Active Work.

The Times man visited the north
end of the La Sal mountains the first
of the week, and while we found con-
siderable snow, there Is not near as
much as was expected. We were the
first to break the trail into the head
of Mil creek and several parties fol-
lowed in the next day.
We went on the divide between Mill
creek, Miners and Beaver basins and
Deep creek. Miners basin has more
snow than any other point. The trail
has been shoveled out into the basin
and large number of the prospectors
who have been waiting in Little Cas-
tie valley, have packed in. There were
about 70 men camped in the town.
quite number having gone into the
basin the day we We're there and others
were prospecting in other parts of
the mountain.
Capt. Morrell. who has stuck to his
prospects in Mil creek for number
of years. reached his cabin on the
creek while we were there accompa-
MED by Harry Swagger. Capt. Morrell
expects in n few days n number of
men who will take hold with him in
development work on his properties.
The mountains are now practically
open for prospectors, though snow Will
be of some hindrance for several weeks
yet. The south slopes are practically
bare, but there Is some heavy drifts
in the gulches. heavy timber and north
slopes. There appears to be more
south of Geyser pass than on the north
end. There is plenty of feed to be
found for prospectors' saddle and pack
aninials.--Grand Valley Times.

ASSAYS FROM LION HILL
Results Obtained from the Little Pittsburg and
Hercules Ores.
LATTER SHOWS $50 OUNCES IN SILVER.
In Tlntic-The In sal Noun

The recent visit of Messrs. George
Dern, George Edwards and w. C. b.
Allen to Lion Hill. at which time they
carefully scrutinized the workings of
the Little Pittsburg and Hercules, was
not frultless one by any means, MS
the gentlemen went there for purpose
and that purpose TO "size up" condi-
tons rs they actually existed at these
two ombryotic hcnnnzas located In Il
section Of country that certainly prom

OF the trio mentioned. Mr.. Dem was
especially interested, largely because Of
1t being his first visit to this particu-
lar section; and while there the gentle
man took occasion to gather up few
samples. all of which he turned over to
the Mercur company's assayer with in
structions to have them tested and re-
port their values. Mr.. Dern has just
returned from Mercur with the month

richness and extent lies somewhere
in that locality.
a sample OF yellow chloride from the
Hercules gave sensational returns of
$50 ounces silver and 81 gold while
from the face of the tunnel in the Her
cules drift, the ore goes ounces silver
and sl.2O in gold. A piece of grey
horey- quartz matter gave
values of S.i ounces silver and 81 gold,
These returns are looked upon with
some significance by Mr.. Dern, and Il
is the belief Of the gentleman that
properties yielding such satisfactory
assays are well worth the time and
means expended for their Development.

be almost exactly the same. When the
contract mentioned is completed, drift

where the best values were encoun-
