BEAVER COUNTY MINES.
Seven Feet of Milling Ore In the
Rob Row.
Beaver Blade.)

Many long and uneventful years have
passed since there was as much activi-
ty evinced in the mining business in
Beaver county as at the present time
if. indeed, there ever was.
Beginning with the old reliable, the
Horn Silver, it is still a heavy produ-
Ger, ranking among the best in the
state with prospects of returning to its
owners greater dividends in the future
| than in the past.
The Washington, owned and opera
ted by the Horn Silver people, situated
| about one and one-half miles from the
old mine, bids fair to rival its neighbor
as big dividend payer. A large force
of men are employed in the develop
ment of this property and machinery
| is being put in place as fast as neces-
sity requires it.
Copper Gulch, near Frisco, resounds
with the familiar sound of hammer and
| blast and a number of prospects in this
region are being rapidly converted into
mines.
Beaver Lake District is witnessing
more activity than for many moons
past. The Copper Mountain and Bea-
yer Lake properties are being prospect
ed to water level, which is estimated
will be reached at 100 feet. Mr.. A. J..
McMullen, the manager of these pro-
pertieS, came down from Salt Lake last
Monday and to a Blade representative
stated that money is ready TO take
hold of the smelter proposition just as
soon az the extent of the vein is known
to justify it. This, Mr.. McMullen
states, there is no question about now.
In Rocky negotiations are under way
for the transfer of a large group of cop
per properties to a Lake Superior SYN
dictate which, if successful, Will insure
the active development of this section.
The Cave, after being tied up for sew
eral years by law suits and cross pur-
poses of owners, is again a shipper,
sending out four carloads week to
the Salt Lake smelters.
The control of the famous Rollins
mine at Lincoln has passed into the
hands Of a syndicate headed by Hon.
S. p. Shope and John +. Mundy of
Lincoln, Ill. These gentlemen, with Mr..
A b. Lewis, are now on the ground
putting in a magnificent equipment of
machinery, buildings and other acces-
series for the thorough development of
the mine. The property now consists
of six claims and the owners propose
making the mine rival its record of past
years. Over twenty men are now at
work on the property and the next
thirty days viii see this force more
than doubled. This property made
southern Utah famous in the COS and
JUS and VIII doubtless do it again.
Success to the new owners is the wish
of all
On the Rob Roy active opera
tions have been going on all win
ter in development and opening up
OF The ore body. a seven-foot body of
free milling ore was encountered few
days ago and as it is of very rich
Character, the lessees are highly elated
over the prospects. They have not
fully decided yet whether they will
start the mill up this spring or whether
they will go ahead with the develop
ment of the mine with view to selling.
In any event the Rob Roy gives every
promise of soon becoming a factor in
the production Of revenue.
The Fermont.-This is a new property
opened up last summer by Messrs. j. H.
Barton. Henry Blackner and ]. e. Farr,
put bids fair TO make its mark among
the many Beaver county properties. 1t
was bonded to w. F. Knox last Friday
lor $1,000 on ninety-day option and we
understand will be thoroughly prospect
ea during the period of the option. It
is copper proposition and has shown
some very fiattering assays.
The Fawn Track people are making
