MINING IN BOXELDER co.
n

Hitherto northwestern Utah has not
been looked upon as q favorable field
for the miners, For many yeUrstit was
looked upon as utter louy 10 attempt
mining either gold. silver or copper
north Of salt Lake city. but gencf-
ally this idea or belief is dying out and
ia the closing days OF tie year 1901
many very experienced miners believe
that within ten years BoX Elder coun-
~ WIN nave become one OF the chief
producing counties IN The mining Of
sold silver, lead copper and antimony,
as also Of iron, The WORK OF prospect
ing was carried on Ia this county for
many years In very indifferent way

The Southern Pacific railways siding at
Tacoma difficult and expensive, though

way In It's carly years was practically
prohibitivc In this way the mines

AT BLACK PINE.

At Black Pine Mountain north or

ore was taken in limited quantity

Gus work was carried ON the returns

locality. In the northwestern part OF
Box elder county there rises range
of mountains in which gold was as
covered about 30 years ago. The values
we're found In quartz veins that APP
peared ON the surface In a disturbed
and broken condition. Work was car
ried on in an irrcgularly and indilter-
ent way and for many years no re-
turns came from the work done mere
This locality Is known as PARK valley.
Al last among those who hoped to lind
wealth there came Mr., White OF SAT-
Lake City. who, Notwithstanding the
advice of mining men began work there
ON what is known as the Century nine
This gentleman worked for a consider
able length of time before he became
convinced that he would be able 10

trates have been sent out. There is an
immense flow OF water on several OF the
levels IN the Tesora mine, and this Is
