UTAH'S GOLD CAMPS.
Will Receive Attention at the Hands
of Mining Men

The gold camps of Utah will receive
more than usual attention from mining
men this fall. and It is expected as a
result of thorough examination and in
spection that number of producers of
the yellow metal will eventually be add
ed to Utahs list Of bonanzas.
NercuTi OF course, on account of its
accessibility and proven value, has al
ready established its right to be classed
among the great gold sections of the
west. and its growth is steady, regular
and OF a character to insure enduring
permanency ana to promise steady
output Of millions annually for many
years to come.
There are other camps in the state,
however, which, although practically
undeveloped, give alluTing promises for
the future. and which, doubtless. will in
+ime make enViable records as the pos
SCISSORS Of mines noted for their pro-
duction of the yellow metal
Gold mountain district is one of these,
ard the splendid naturalization of this
camp and the opportunities offered for
safe ard profitable investments are al
ready attracting the attention Of the
alert prOspector, the progressive mining
operator and the shrewd capitalist.
It Is in Gold mountain, with its strong
lodges and alluring veins of gold
quartz. its heavy forests Of timber and
innumerable streams and springs Of
sparkling water and nearby railway ia
cilities, that such mines as the Deseret
are found, and which abounds in such
valuable properties as the Golden Star,
the Annie Laurie the Mammoth the
BreckinridgA the Miller, Surprise, Hol-
land, Butler Beck, the Advocate and
numerous other prospective bonanzas
are located: and still the district is not
half prospected as yet, while the pres
ent season will doubtless witness the
discovery of many other claims equally
as promising and fully as rich in their
gold deposits; the only thing needed to
make them all producing and paying
mines being the application of labor.
the assistance of capital and the erec-
ton and operation OF mills for the re-
duction and treatment of the thousands
of tons of ore already blocked out in
the prosecution of the limited amount
of work that has so far been done in
the development of the camp.
Stateline, in Iron cEInty, is another
gold camp of merit anu promise, and its
parallel lodges in a great porphyry belt
-fisSures which certainly go to the
deep, carrying millions in the precious
metal between their well-defined walls,
should certainly appeal most strongly
to those who understand the value of
such q formation and who appreciate 4
camp in which the mines are easily ac
cessible, nearly every one Of which can
be reached by wagon with but little
trouble and expense in the way of road
building.
The experienced gold miner does not
have to look twice in order to appre
ciate the conditions offered by Stateline,
and the expert can see at q glance that
Dame Nature has been most prodigal
in placing her treasures in the hills Of
this district.
1t is ii Stateline that such mines as
the Creole and the Ophir exist, both of
which have records as producers, the
former sending in wealth in the form
Of gold bullion, while the latter has al
ready sent in several ccnsignments OF
nigh grade ore, with silver values pre-
dominating, but running well in gold;
