DEVEL OPMENTS AT f1ARYSVALE.
Wonderfully Rich Gold Properties Are Now Being Opened
Up There.
Up There.

Marysvala more than once has been
abandoned by all who could get away
and the clouds hung over her SO black
as to shut out all view of future,
could it look forward with hopes of so
bright a future. More work has been
done the past summer than ever be-
fore and the expectation in every in
| stance has been realized. People are
| profiting by their past failures The
railroad will be here before spring and
next summer promises TO be the great
est season this camp has ever seem
The Famous Wedge.
The property that attracted the most
attention the past season by reason or
the values exposed was the Wedge, in
corporated under the name of The
Wedge Gold Mining & Milling company
of which George Sutherland is presi-
dent. Its principal place of business is
in Salt Lake City. 1t owns two claims
or rather one claim and a fraction.
About seventy feet east of the discov-
cry they cut the vein with tunnel,
in which they struck streak about
foot wide of rich ore from which they
received assays as high as 100000.
They drifted about twenty-five feet on
the vein and also sunk a winze about
thirty-five feet, exposing this same rich
ore above and below. At the bottom
of the winze it had widened out to
nearly three feet
The vein is about ten feet wide where
they crossed it, which was about sixty
feet from the mouth of the tunnel. 1t
is a true assure with trackyte walls
Since they have gone lower down and
started another tunnel in which they
are now in about $50 feet and expect
to tap the vein within the next TWEEN
ty-five feet at a depth of 1877 feet.
This company is paying its own way
without making any assessments and
when the mine is properly opened up it
can work with small cost Ore from
the winze brought about $1,000. which
has paid for all development this far.
This seasons work has exposed large
quantity of high-grade ore that will be
marketed when they get ready. The
owners Of this property have a bonanza
and are entitled to indulge in great ex-
pectations. They have done a great
amount Of work the past summer and
expect to do much more next.
The Dalton.
By reason of the fact that this is a
close corporation in the respect that
they keep their own counsel, it is diff
cult to get information that would be
of value to the public. The past year
the company has kept from four to
fifteen men at work, sinking and drift
ing. which is a good sign. They must
have something in view to warrant this
expenditure. Your correspondent is as
Sured by reliable parties who have Wis
tied this property the past season that
they have number of tons-possibly
a carload, of high grade ore already
sacked ready for shipment. A big
strike was made on this property sew
eral years ago., and a number of men
were made rich thereby Since then
they have lost the vein. This ore they
have taken out the past season is from
another vein, it is understood, which
was recently discovered They have
large quantities of low grade ore which,
with the right kind of a plant on the
ground, could be treated at a handsome
profit. This promises to become a very
valuable property some day.
The Elephant.
This is new company, incorporated
last fall. 1t owns three claims and
fraction. Its east end lines join the
west line of the Wedge and its north
lines come within about 600 feet of the
Dalton. The mineral veins from both
these properties must run through this
group of claims. For this reason this
property is sure to be heard from in
the future. Besides, they have recent
ly uncovered a ten-foot vein that runs |
in the direction of the Wedge and car
ries much the same, character of ore
which leads the owners TO hope for
great results when developed. AS they
have only uncovered the top of the
vein, no idea can now be formed of the
values it contains. A number of blow
outs on this same vein on this group |
lead the owners to believe they have a
bonanza. AS very rich ore only occurs |
in ore chutes at the surface they be- |
lieve their values will not be all found |
at one place on their property. This /!
the past end is about wholly undevel- |
oped.
The Daisy.
This property is owned by w. F. |
Warnock of this place and William |
Hanna of Monmouth, Ill. It has two !
good veins, each about a foot wide, |
from which assays have been received |
that run $500 in gold and 2SS ounces
silver. These veins have never been !
but Mr.. Warnock believes that
if this ore was properly sorted they |
could ship. The past year they ex-
pended about 500 in opening up their
and they appear thoroughly I
satisfied with the showing made. They /
do not intend attempting to ship until
they get their claim developed. when, if !
their ore holds the present values, they
hope 1t will become a regular pro-
Queer.
The Copper Belt.
This is an old property that was shut
down on account of litigation some fif-
teen years ago. During that time the
timbers rotted and it caved in, filling
the shaft almost to the surface. They
finally got their law suits settled and
last spring Bartholomew & Frazee, of
Victor, Colo, took II under bond and
lease. They transferred a part of their
bond and lease to Colorado capitalists,
since which time they have been work
ing steadily, cleaning out and retimber-
ing the old shaft, that is reported to be
,2S feet. They are now down 245 feet,
but have gone just as far as they can
with the facilities at their command
Professor Lamb, who has been looking
after the interests of these Colorado
parties, left the first of December for
Denver to purchase the machinery for
/ hoist. This machinery is expected
low in a few days, when it will be
placed in position and work will again
proceed as rapidly as possible. Previ-
Jus to the time when this property was
'orced to shut down by litigation, it
vas a great producer and shipped a
arge quantity of high-grade ore at a
ime, too, when the ore had to be haul
d by team from 100 to $50 miles. With
,ut doubt next year the name of this
nine will be on the list of Utah'S pro-
ulcers.
