Tor several years resided in Price, acting
as the local agent for the company.
me reason we are not bringing in any
ore at this time is due principally TO the
1act that our warehouse here is fun and
not that We are having trouble with
the irelghtefs, as enormously reported IN
a Salt Lake City paper. There are 300,009
pounds Of good grade Of giisonite in the

The gilsonite properties formerly be-
onging to John Beck of Salt Lake, and
situated just on the outskirts of Vernal,
Rre in a fair way to come into the mar
ket as gilsCnite competitors, according TO
rum0rs afioat here. There are forty OF
these claims, which are to be patented
the present summer, after which ship
ments will begin in earnest. The stuff

The Raven company has been sending
out a big lot Of supplies for two weeks
now, and when the superintendent of OPP
erations was here a few days ago he
stated that shipments TO Price would be-
gin the latter part OF March or the 1st
of April. The product is mostly already
engaged by Chicago Varnish houses. The
snow road for hauling out the ore to the
spur of the Rio Grande Western from
Cotton is not q success. and win most
likely be abandoned for the Price outlet.
The Denver parties operating gils0nite
properties near Cotton are doing very lit
tie, if anything.
