SNAKE CREEK MINES.
Water Has Temporarily Caused 6
Suspension of Work.

Especial Correspondence
Park City, May 26.-W. j. Wilson,
who is in charge of the DEVELOPMENT
of the Blue Bird and Boulder Basin
group in Snake Creek mining district,
returned to the city last night with
some good-looking samples of copper
ore, which he encountered in the face
of the tunnel 600 feet from the mouth,
and at a vertical depth of $50 feet The
ore has not vet been assayed, but ap-
pears to carry good values in copper.
1t was found in punches, and is be-
lieved to be a feeder to the vein, since
according to the survey, it runs at right
angles to the direction the vein should
extend. The ore in the tunnel resembles
closely that found on the vein near
the surface, where it gave values as
nigh as % per cent copper, 81 in gold
The surface water is quite an obstacle
IN Snake Creek district at present, and
many prospectors have temporarily
abandoned work

GOLD NEAR OGDEN.
Properties Being Worked East of
Five Points.

Don Mcguire came down from Ogden
yesterday and was closeted for several
hours with some mining men, working
up proposition, the nature of which,
he said he was not at liberty to divulge
just now.
When asked about the reported dis
coveries of gold near Ogden, Mr.. Ma
guire said the mountains to the left of
Ogden canyon and east of Five Points
are quite active, and some very fine
specimens have beer brought down
from there. A whole lot of develop
ment work is in progress, and Mr.. Ma
guire believes indications are good for
the opening up of some good proper
ties. He has been over the ground and
knows all about it. The strike recently
made by John r. Porter. he states, is a
very encouraging proposition.
The La Plata country is looking up,
and it is very probable this old camp,
which caused so much excitement in
1891, will enjoy a revival this year.
There are some good lead and silver
propositions. La Plata is admirably To-
Gated, with plenty of timber and water
convenient. There are number Of
good properties in the district. which
only need systematic development to
open them up.

Jackson McChrystal and Gus Tetro

In planning to put a water tank in

during the summer when the stock are

tank will have less water flowing into
it from the windmill or the hydraulic

not empty il will contain warm water?
And have you considered that when you
want cold water under these circum-

start the ram, or pump the water your
