Six or seven years ago there was not
a more promising or active camp in
the state than La Plata, new dis
covery in the mountains northeast of
Ogden, and for awhile it looked as if
this section would develop some of the
greatest producing mines in this por-
ton of the intermountain region.
AS if by magic a thrifty camp sprung
up at the mines, postoffice was estab-
lished, business houses were erected,
and for awhile there was a rush of
prospectors, mining men and investors
to the camp, which flourished like unto
the proverbial green bay tree. The La
Plata company, which held some of the
best ground in the camp, put in a fine
steam hoist while at the Sunrise the
greatest of excitement was caused by
the breaking up and shipment TO the
market of an immense boulder of rich
lead ore, the boulder being as big as
freight car and was nothing more than
float, as it reposed on the surface.
There was also a very fine showing of
lead ore and sand carbonate ore in the
Red Jacket, while on Shutdown hill fine
deposits of copper ore were disclosed,
the surface showing all over the camp
being all that could be desired, While
the district was well watered by in
Vulnerable springs and heavily TIM
bered
The camp had hardly gotten we'll out
of its swaddling clothes, however be-
fore the Southern Pacific Railroad COM
pany stepped in and claimed the ground
on which the mineral discoveries had
been made and this acted at once as a
check to the growth of the camp, and
for several years Immediately follow
ing the district was dead as a door
nail,' awaiting the results of the liti-
cation, and when the cases were de-
cided in favor of the mineral claim
ants, lead and silver had deprecated
so in price that as rich as the mines
were, on account of their distance from
the railroad, they could not be worked
at a profit, the consequence being that
for the last five years this region, pro-
life in its naturalization, has been as
quiet as a graveyard.
Last winter, however, the Sunrise
company put up a hoist and worked
four men in the continued development
of the property, a nice body of solid
lead ore being disclosed in its work
jngs, and from John r. Porter of Og-
den, who has a lease and bond on the
Red Jacket, and who was in the city
yesterday, it is learned that work is to
be resumed in the operation of this
property at once Mr.. Porter has great
faith in the camp and good news may
be expected from there this season.

A GOOD CLEANUP.
What the Times-Review Says of the
Dexter Mine.

The Dexter company shipped by
Wells, Fargo & Co. yesterday morning
ST. 500 in gold, says the Times-Review
of Tuscarora, New. The shipment is the
result of Is days run of the mill and
cyanide plant Of this amount $500 is
represented in fine gold bars, and $1,000
IN cyanide product, and brings the total
output OF the mine for the month of
June close to SIS, 900. When it is taken
into consideration that the unusually
dry season has made it impossible for
the electric plant to develop sufficient
power to run the mill to it's full capa-
city, and the additions to the cyanide
plant were not completed until June %,
the run is truly a remarkable one and
demonstrates more forcibly than COL
Umns of argument that the Dexter is
what its owners have always claimed il
TO be-one Of the greatest gold proper
ties in the west. The establishment of
an auxiliary electric plant, which will
furnish some 500 additional horse power.
is one OF the improvements now in con-
temptation, and when completed will
convince all doubling Thomases that
the confidence of the owners in the
merits of the mine have been under,
rather than over, estimated.

PARADOX VALLEY COPPER.
The Diversity of Minerals Found L
La Sal Mountains.

La Sal Mountains.
C. H. Hart and W. H. Sullivan came
il yesterday from Paradox valley with
a collection of minerals found in that
district, says the Denver Republican.
They were at the Miners bureau yes
terday, and showed samples of copper
ore, fossiliferous iron ore, rock salt and
Rochelle salts, all of which they claim
to have found in the valley.
The existence of copper in that val
ley has been we'll known for several
months, and Hart and Sullivan both
agree that the wealth of the district
in copper values has been in no sense
overstated. They also claim that they
have discovered an entire mountain of
fossiliferous iron ore. The sample
shown is Identical with the fossiliferous
ore of Alabama, to which the city of
Birmingham owes its present manu-
featuring reputation.
The rock salt is said to cover a large
area of territory, and can be found in
enormous quantities, in masses in the
creViceS of the rocks and over the sur
face of the ground. The cattle in the
vicinity resort to this section to lick
the exposed bodies Of salt. The salt is
heavily stained with iron, and is said
to be found in close contact with the
iron ore.
The Rochelle salts, while not entirely
pure. dissolves readily in water and is
pronounced by physician present yes
terday to be the genuine article. Mr.
Hart says that it can be shoveled up
by the ton in certain parts of the val
ley.
Mr.. Hart also had fine sample of
malachite broken from a streak of this
material which, he says, is large
enough to be converted into gems.
The work done so far in the district
is merely prospecting. Mr.. Hart made
openings on the Red Chief vein at sew
eral points on the side of the mountain,
and in every case found pay ore at
shallow depths. At 80 feet above the
bed OF the creek they came into
strong vein of ore, in which there was
a streak OF copper glance that will run
from go to rs per cent, and copper ex-
berts assert that when the water level
is reached the vein matter viii be found
rich in native copper.
The La Sal Mining company is build
ing road to Placerville station, which
will be completed within three months.

THE CASE STATED.
State of Utah,
Auditors Office.

Auditors Office.
Salt Lake City, Utah, July II.
Hon. A. C. Bishop. Attorney General
for the State of Utah, City:
Dear Sir-You are hereby respectfully
asked to advise this office on the mat
ter of drawing warrants against the
appropriation of $4,000 for the mainte-
nance and furnishings of the branch
normal school, created by the last
legislature, and, in pursuance of the
legal provisions, located at Cedar City,
Iron county, Utah.
By reference to the act of the legisla-
ture of 1897 on this subject it will be
found that, upon the acceptance by the
secretary of state of a good and suffi-
cient title to suitable grounds and
buildings for the accommodation of
the place adopted branch of the state
normal school, to be under the control
and management of the board of re-
gents of the University of Utah.
In the revised statutes, sections 2, 316
to 1920 inclusive, are in like terms as
the earlier enactment in this connec-
ton, except that the appropriation is
not mentioned in the latter.
The citizens of Cedar City have
shown forth much enterprise and en-
ergy in the erection of an elegant and
commodious building in a delightful
spot in the suburbs of the city, and ex-
pect to pass the title to the state about
the first of August, prox., at which
time, as I have been credibly informed
the board of regents intend to apply
for such portion of the appropriation
for furnishings and maintenance as can
be legally drawn.
Therefore, with the view that no I'M
necessary delay shall occur, and be-
lieving that you should have some tins
in which to Investigate the subject,
decided to solicit your advice thus early
and will here say that l would desire
the most liberal construction of the
law appertaining, to the end that as
much of the appropriation as possible
may be made available on the first
call.
AS you are doubtless aware, the cit
liens of the favored place have been
conducting normal school in tempo
rary quarters, with abundant success
at their own expense, not being entitled
to draw upon the appropriation under
these circumstances, but looking for
ward to the next legislature for reim-
bursement of the means expended in
this way.
AS I now view it, there is no author
ity of law for issuing warrants to
meet the expenses of maintaining the
school prior to the passing of the IT,
tie, but, doubtless, a portion of the ap-
preparation can be used to pay for the
furnishings after the title is vested in
the state, though they were procured
and in use before that point is reached.
Leaving the question with you, in
the hope that your other duties will
permit a reply before this month
closes, 1 am still yours truly,
MORGAN RICHARDS, JR.,
State Auditor.

Can They Be Drawn On Prior to the

quandary to know what to do with re-
spect to drawing warrants on the ap-
propriated fund for the furnishing and
maintenance of the Cedar City branch

duty to withhold the warrants until at
least he receives legal advice on the
subject, Notwithstanding that the Ce-
dar City people have threatened to
commence mandamus proceedings to
compel him to accede TO their requests.

ter before the attorney general in the
