reverse every known proposition in the
lottery of mining But il is true that
as large a proportion of prOspectOrs
have been fortunate in Deep Creek as
in any other section of the state AS
its worth IS becoming better known,
more money is being put in there, and
those who know the country are proph-
esying that the day is coming when
Deep Greek viii be known from one
end of the land to the other.
A resume of all the mines of Deep
Greek. if their merits were presented
in proportion to their deserts, would
fill more than one page of this edition
Of The Herald. Lack OF space, how
ever, fOrbids more than passing men
ton of the properties, with a brief de-
sCriptiOn Of the amount of work done
in them, and of the promise that the
future holds out
FREE COINAGE DISTRICT.
The first proposition of note in the
Free Coinage district is the mine from
which it takes its name, or. as the
dramatist would say, the title role.
In this mine a tunnel 400 feet long has
been driven through lime. 1t starts on
u fine seam of red oxide of iron, which
runs to a cave or break in the noun
tain. It ends against a porphyry dyke
on one side and sandrOck on the other.
There is every Indication that the own
ers of the Free Coinage will eventually
strike something good
The Humbug lode is in a lime forma-
ton. There is a large ledge of crystal
liked lime and spar, with small punches
or pockets of copper and lead ores
showing first-Tate values The prop
erty is worked by a shaft eighty feet
deep. and an incline 200 feet deep. There
are fifteen tons of good ore on the
dU079-
The May is in lime, the vein being OF
/ crystallized lime with copper stains It's
/ owners expect soon to strike body OF
/ pa ore.
/ The Third Term and other properties
/ of the Free Coinage district have
shipped some ore in the past, but nave
/ now caved and are not accessible, but
+ they could be opened again and doubt
/ less VIII be in the near future.
! LAKE SIDE DISTRICT.
/ The Nielsen and Nielsen. in the Lake
] Side district, is in q lime formation
/ which shows large pockets of carbonate
/ Of lead and iron Two incline shafts
/ one 125 feet deep and the other forty
+ feet deep, have been run. Drifts are
started east and west. In the latter
/ some very good lead ore is in sight, anc
( all of the west side of 125-fOot shaft /:
/ rich in galena. About $50 tons of pay
+ dirt are in sight. and, with proper ia.
/ cilities, the mine could ship five tons o.
! ore per day
The Bonneville tunnel has been run
+ about 325 feet in a lime mountain
/ Drifts have been run about 200 lee
west, and good galena ore has been eX
posed.
The Two Hand has large surface de
/ pOsits of iron. mixed with galena, pu
/ little work has been done on it,
! The Monarch mine has not been Work
ed lately. but il was once good pro
. Queer. In the seventies many tons o
ore we're shipped out OF it, and NOR
may be taken out of it in the campaign
! of 1901.
i ERICKSON DISTRICT.
The Sven Nielsen is in lime forma
ton and runs along what is thought {
+ have been a aubterranean water course
( the largest of the kind that has beef
/ encountered III these parts. II has beel
+ explored for several hundred feet, VIC
Z the result that considerable pockets o
( copper have been discovered.
! The Agermer is also in lime 1t ma
numerous deposits of galena. Some 20
feet of tunueIing has been done. ant
about twenty-five tons of pay ore is OF
( the dump.
In addition to those mentioned. thef
are two or three prospects on IN
/ southeast side of the district that ar
producing some shipping ore
] DUGWAY DISTRICT.
The Bertha. in the Dugway district
[ has some $50 feet of workings. AbOu
! 200 tons of ore are on the dump, AM
I as much more is in sight This pros
pect could produce from twenty t
/ twenty-five tons per day. if properi,
+ worked
The Philadelphia has a five-foot vel
of carbonate ore for a distance O
/ thirty-three feet on each side of its in
/ cline shaft. From twenty to thirt
/ tons per day win be taken out when
sufficient force Of men is put to wor
on she 2rc-OsitiOn.
The Golconda shows 225 feet of work
/ ings The ore was struck at the gras
roots. and is continuous throughout tn
entire depth Of the shaft. About twenty
FIVE tons are ready for shipment now
