THE JUMBO"
This property is owned by D. J. Ed
wards and T. r. Ellerbeck. They have
erected boarding and bunk houses this
fall, and have a force of men at work
developing the mine and extracting ore
that will assay 500 ounces silver and
from $40 to 500 in gold to the ton. The
conditions in and around this mine are
the same as at De Lamar. They have
a mine. To the south and the west of
the Queen and Jumbo are many pros

In Bullion canyon, directly west of
the town, the formation is less complex.

of Mt. Belknap. Nearly all the veins.
and they are numerous and close to-
gether, have a general strike north and
south parallel with the trend of the
main range to the west, and nearly all
of them occur on the south side of the
canyon.
AS you proceed up the canyon the
first claim of Importance is the Branch,
a silver and gold proposition. No real
development work has ever been done
on the claim, but tunnel on the vein
has proven the continuity of the ore
body to a depth of at least 200 feet a
winze from the tunnel shows the ore
going down and increasing in value.
The Branch is an unusually fine prop
erty, and is owned by the Deseret Gold
Mining & Milling company of Salt
Lake A few hundred feet west of the
Branch is situated the great Bully Roy
and Webster mine, which has been
periodical shipper and producer for To-
cal reduction ever since the date of
it's discovery by the late Jacob Hess
of Manti. The Bully Boy and Webster
lode has q QuartZite foot and porphyry
hanging walls. The product is lead-sil-
yer, with a small value in gold. Under
the old workings a tunnel has been
driven on the vein a distance of 1,600
feet, reaching vertical depth of about
1,400 feet. The ore occurs in the form
of chimneyS or chutes of galena, crys-
talized lead and carbonate, and are
numerous and strong as disclosed IL
the long tunnel.
A few hundred feet west of the Bully
Boy and Webster is the Star vein, a
lead-silver proposition in a lime belt,
but which doubtless runs to the con-
tact.
West from the Star is the Glen Erie.
a fissure in quartzite. The product is
copper, lead, silver and some gold. Still
further to the west is the Cascade, the
product of which is almost identical
with that of the Glen Erie.
Sandwiched between those promising
claims just described, are numerous
other claims of less note, but nearly
all of them with good surface show

and Cottonwood canyons. and immedi-

and Glen Erie mines, is situated Horse
