Silver Cave in Cottonwood canyon.
Aside from the properties mentioned.
the Marysvale portion of the Mt. Badly
belt is unusually quiet. Yet nowhere
in the entire west Is there "a greater
OutcrOp Of the precious metals, nor >
more promising field for the profitable
investment Of money.
The Deer Trail is positively the only
property in the entire district in which
extensive and Intelligent development
work has ever been performed, and it
has now more than 81 500, 900 in sight
DR.. p. A II. Franklin and associates
have recently secured a promising
group Of claims well up in Cottonwood
canyon, and have organized under the
name of the Mt. Badly Gold Mining
company, and there are ample Opportu-
mites for 100 Franklins, KiInberleys and
De Lamars.
All along the entire Mt. Badly belt
there is an abundance of water and
timber. Supplies of food and labor are
nearby and cheap, and railroad and
telephone communication are within
easy. reach of the several districts.
In conclusion, permit me to draw the
attention of crOakers and WOuld-be ex-
perts, who are forever discrediting the
mining districts remote from Salt
Lake, to the resurrection of such once
almost deserted camps as Ophir,
Beaver Lake and Gold Mountain,
where, within two years, have been de-
veloped some Of the greatest mines
on earth.
In justice to the Salt Lake papers
will say they have ever been impartial
and generous to all the outlying dis
tricts.
In the foregoing description of the
Mt. Badly district not a line of exag-
geratiOn has been written.

the state it languished until the recent
revival.
These mines are located on the east
side of the Humboldt range, immedi-
ately under Star peak. This range ex-
tends in a nOrtherly and s0utherly di-
reetion and the famous Comstock
mines are in the same mineral zone
Following the crest of the range is an
immense pOrphyFitic dyke, on each
side of which are great lime lodges. The
Sheba contact is on the east side, while
the Champion contact is on the west.
The Sheba vein is a large vein of por-
phyritic gray rock, thirty feet in width
through which there is a network of
ore stringers eighteen inches wide. At
intervals these concentrate on the foot
wall where are found large deposits Of
very rich ore, consisting of antimonial
sulphurets CT silver and black sulphur
cts.
The Sheba vein number two. about
$50 feet east of the contact and paral-
lei with it, is a true fssure. The char
acter of the ore from this vein has
more argentiferous galena ia the upper
level: at depth the ore changes to brit
tie and ruby silver.
The Champion is a contact vein Of
mineralized quartz about 100 feet IN
width, and carries values ranging be-
tween 5000 and $500 per ton.
The opportunity to develop these
properties by tunnel at a much great
er depth than the previous workings,
which are already of such extent as to
indicate the mineral system Of the
claim, is an exceptional one. It has a
further advantage Of controlling a wa
ter power sufficient to supply the mine
with all the power necessary and to
run a 100-stamp mill There is a con-
centrating mill already upon the mill
site, needing but a small outlay TO put
it in running order. Judge Bartch and
others of the company have visited the
property, examined the title and every
step has been taken with view to
protecting not only themselves but ev-
cry shareholder who may become asso-
eiated with them W. H Childs, the
secretary Of the company, is taking an
active interest in its promotion, and
there has been quick response to the
first offers Of the treasury stock.

if Judiciously invested, would bring
that end of the Mt. Badly gold belt to
the front.
Adjoining the Newton district on the
north is the Indian Creek district. and
another instance Of genuine merit IN
appreciated and neglected. From the
bench or foothills back to the north
western base of hoary old Badly there
is no district in Utah more highly
mineralized than Indian Creek canyon.
Several years ago the district was, for
a short time. the scene Of considerable
activity. The White Cliff, Helen Nc
Gregor and Rob Roy groups were
( worked to a limited extent. The last
named group is situated at the mouth
of the canyon, and has every feature
of a valuable mine. The evidences Of
great depth in the Rob Roy are found
in its five feet of ledge matter, with
perfect walls, the foot" being pOr-
phyry and hanger" of volcanic brec-
ella. The reputed owner is a wealthy

The property. for which the company
holds complete title, includes seven
claims, and it has secured option on
six other valuable claims. It is To-
Gated in the Star mining district about
twelve miles from Mill City station on
the Central Pacific railroad, Humboldt
county, Nevada.
The roads are down grade all the
way from the mine, composed of hard
sand and gravel, and are in good con-
dition at all seasons Of the year.
IN such location both labor and
supplies are readily obtainable and at
reasonable cost.
The Sheba was, thirty-eight years
ago, one of Nevada's famous bonan-
zas. It was located in 1862 and was
worked for several years by San Fran
cisco owners, during which time its
production record was $4,000, 0O0 worth
of ore all Of which was rich enough
to justify extraction and shipping to
Sacramento by OK team, at an expense
of $3.50 per ton. The ore averaged bet
ter than 500 ounces in silver and $40 in
gold to the ton.
Through litigation the property was
closed down and was afterward worked
only by IeaseTs until bought by Peter
Woolcock. It has b9en owned by his
heirs since that time The rest of the
property was worked in the early
days, yielding handsomely even under
adverse conditions, but after the de-

the year just closed the

II URING the year just closed the salt
industry has taken decided i'm
petus and is forging to the front
as one Of the big industries Of the
state With all the firms making a
speciality of handling this staple, bus
mess during 1901 has been unusually
good. According to the statements OF
those in a position to be most thor
oughly acquainted with the business,
there are no indications pointing to
even a slight cessation during the COM
ing year.
From the meagre reports which have
so far been made out, it is impossible
to give the exact output of all the
firms doing business in the state during
1 the year, but conservative estimates
place the total tonnage in the neighbor-
hood Of 10000, which is a decided in
crease over the output of last year,
and in fact, is the largest amount
which has been shipped for a number
of years, and shows q steady and con-
I tinUous growth. This years production
of 10000 tons is an increase of about
[ 20 per cent over the amount produced
mated that 1900 tons had been sub
/ jected to the refining process before
Z shipment, and the remaining 25, 900 was
/ sent out in its crude state. It is not
known the exact percentage of this
amount that was shipped in sack or
/ in bulk. 1t is claimed, and is very
/ likely true. that 90 per cent Of the total
/ business of the state was done by one
company doing business in the city Of
/ Salt Lake. The balance was distrib-
uted among a number of smaller con-
| Germs operating throughout the state.
/ A large portion of the crude article
/ was, Of course, used for stock-feeding
and for chlOTinatiOn purposes in Teduc-
/ ton mills.
| Nearly 1000 tons of red rock salt
4 were shipped from Salina, Utah, or from
/ that neighborhOod, during the year just
closed. The quarries at Nephi are at
/ present idle, as is also the refinery at
/ that place About 1,500 tons of crude
/ salt was made near Brigham City from
a hot salt spring near that city. The
/ Utah production was shipped to various
/ points in the states of Colorado, Ne
/ braska, Wyoming, Nevada, Idaho, Mon
tana, Oregon, Washington and Utah.
/ It is stated on competent authority

foreign salt by the people Of Utah was
/ greater than the amount of the home
/ production used. This may be ae-
/ counted for by the fact that the rein
/ ing mill is a comparatively recent limo
walton in this state and the article pro-
/ duced before the refinery was estab-
/ lished was not as desirable for food
