The daily sentinel., 1899-05-06

]. s. Clark, the manager of the Grand
Junction Foundry plant, recently burn
ed, returned home yesterday from trip
to the new mining region near Moab
Utah, also lying close to Richardson
Utah.
Ma. Clark went there in the interests
OF himself and other mining men OF Den
yer. He is mildly enthusiastic over the
promise that whole region gives for cop
per properties and thinks that in less
than two years that will make one of
the greatest mining regions in the west,
il the interest in copper properties con-
tinues.
Mr.. Clark drove from this city to
Richardson. practically the seat OF the
excitement in two days with a horse
and buggy. He found the road fairly
good all the way there.
sOf course" said Mr.. Clark, "there are
as yet many drawbacks to that country.
There are no miners there Of any conse-
quence at the pre-ent time aud the hills
have not been thoroughly explored.
There is no accommodation whatever, any
one who goes there must take every
thing he needs. found that was not
the only person there looking for advan-
tageous ground. There are men right
there now who represent heavy capital
ready and willing to pick up for the
C pper kings anything giving much
promise. 1 saw some very good places
but OF course The principal claims are in
the hills. Claims are taken up all along
the country. should Judge right in
that particular section there are elk or
even miles OF claims slaked, 1 saw
claims which know would run thirty
per cent copper.
"Of course there are a thousand rum
ors of the sale Of mines, Of this and that
aggregation Of capital backing such and
such mines. but sifted all down l found
quite a number OF capitalists there, who
are ready to make the region a hummer.
1t was swift company and 1 knew they
we're there for purpose. But besides
what has shown up in the way OF copper
properties there is an immense region
still unexplorel just as rich upon which
l am willing to take my chances.
II shall return there again later, after
have some correspondence with those
with whom am working. l would not
advise anyone to go into the country on
anyones say SO, let him go and make an
examination for himself and if he sees
what he believes will develop into some.
thing, then he can decide upon what
course to pursue. All that section is
wild. Farmers are leaving their plows
to take up claims and talk Of nothing
else but future prospects in mining.
IL will quote you few OF the deals
which l heard Of while there. You will
understand when speak of 80 much
money it is for bond and lease, as all
the mines as yet are only prospects.
"lhe Salt Wash sold for 100000.
Two claims sold Wednesday for $4,000
each. The "Hunchman" sold for $60OO,
90. So you see that the figures are
climbing already.
| "To my mind all that region is very
rich copper belt. II snould develop
one half Of what il expected it will rival
Butte Montana or in fact the best cop
per regions in the world. All this ex-
citement il heightened by the fabulous
prices at which tho stock OF good mining
properties are being sold and there does
not teem to be any let up in the demand
| ahall On thera AGAIN mat ar aoon aa I
possibly can mako my arrangements.
