beautiful brown, and as soft and yield
ing to the tread as the thickest and
most expensive Persian carpets. The
ceiling, which at the entrance is some
ten or d dozen feet above our heads,
slopes gradually downward as we adj
vance. and depending therefrOm may
be seen a luxuriant growth, if such it
may be termed, of what the miners,
for want of d better name, denOminate
"whiskers."
This curious formation consists Of
filaments of carbonate of iron, of such
extreme tenuity and fragility that a
breath win disIodge them. They hang
8T0m the roof IN myriads and attain
length of from two TO three feet.
They are perfectly straight, but woven
together and interlaeed in the most
wonderful and surprising manner by
minute fbers at various angels and
distances. It IS as if a million spiders
had combined their architectural ef-
forts with 10000 pismy Raphaels- The

network are soft and harmonious be-

liant red through all the various shades
OF brown, to nearly black.
I'VE advance a few steps and peer
farther in under this magniicence,
when. behold, a transformation has
taken place, The browns and reds
have given place to greens and blues
of exquisite beauty The flashing mag
nfficence of the emerald mingles with
the pale azure Of the turquoise, and we
hold our breath in fear that the won

vance it viii vanish as the mirage.
The guide has calmly seated himself
at the entrance, and gazes at US with

our eyes almost to safety upon the
marvels before US, he beck0ns us fox

bids US gaze upward. Here is a little,

Plenty Of Water Underground.
In the vicinity Of Milford there is no
difficulty whatever in securing an am
pie water supply within a few feet
of the surface by means of wells, many
of which are In operation by wind
power. There was at one time, some
, twenty years ago, a smelter at Mil
ford. handling the ores from the old
Harrington mine, five miles southwest.
! This mine was heavy producer. and
some $1,000, 0O0 worth of silver and lead
We're taken from 1t and the old Rebel
mine, just north. A considerable town,
named star" and containing 500 peo-
pie and nine saloons, f1ourished there.
So wasteful were the methods of min
ing and smelling the ores, however,
that when it became necessary to sup
ply the mine with more effective hoist
ing and drilling machinery, the whole
plant was abandoned. The smelter,
with a capacity Of only fifty tons per
day, was continued in operation, using
! ores from other mines.

The Harrington mine recently came

of which is 3Ir. A. B. Lewis. and work

The Beginning of Riches.
The o. X. lies on the western side Of
a small hill which forms the extreme
eastern end Of a chain extending for
several miles in the direction OF the
San Francisco range, but Of no very
considerable height There are vast
deposits of copper at many places along
this chain. and practically the whole
district has been staked out in claims.
The Majestic syndicate has secured
control of a large portion of this ter
ritOry north and west Of the o. K.
mine They are thus in a position to
develop the whole series TO the best
possible advantage later on.
Another Majestic Group.
Not far to the eastward Of the o. K.
group but upon a separate hill, lies
the old Hickory mine. a solid compact
deposit of copper ore Of varying grades

hence, & number of articles appeared
I'm tie Salt Lake papers reciting the
history Of early mining in Beaver coun-
ty, explaining or apologizing for the
intervening tWenty-year period Of in
activity. Apologies are no longer nee
esSary. That millions of dollars were
taken off the surface in San Francisco,
Star, North Star. Lincoln, Bradshaw
and Rocky districts. aEd then even the
surface abandoned, is a little piece OF
ancient history, the details of which
the present mining operator has about
as much us= fer as they have for d
history of King SolOmou's mining Oper-
atoms A new era has daUned, and
while the "mistuke5 OF Moses may be
interesting to men Of leisure, there is
not time 20 consider them in a be-
uanza mining camp. One present and
astounding fact stands out in bold
relief. One property abandoned tWen-
ty years ago as practically worthless
has shipped 100000 worth of ore dur
ing The last four months, and the con-
ditiOns that have made such a ship
ment possible exist over a large area
where enterprising men are striving
with all their energies to secure the
strongest foOth0lds.
General Z 9dLuI6S.
The traveller landing at Milford,
Utah. bent upon acquiring some in
formation in regard to the topography
and mining possibilities of that sec
ton. finds himself in q little town of
some 400 Inhabitants, which was al
one time Of considerable Importance in
the mining district by which it is sur
rounded. Milford lies in the middle
of the great Beaver valley formerly
the bottom OF an immense lake, a rem
naut of which still exists. To the
eastward, some miles away, lies a
range of high mountains. beyond which
is still another valley Of somewhat
lesser extent. and il which is located
the town Of Beaver, the county seat
end which, by way of the proposed
electric line to connect the two towns

miles The three intermediate villages

from the construction of this line. The
Beaver river debouches into the val
ley last mentioned, and in its descent
through the canyon some th.rty-siz
miles from Beaver, falls a distance Of
many hundreds Of feet through q mar
row gorge, and, with a constant flow

things over 400 feet. n which level
still another surprise awaits us. IN

is an abundance Immediately at hand.
Only One Thing Lacking.
We have here in the one mi1e- prac-
ticaIy all Of the features that go TO
make up the perfect copper mine, eX-
Cept a waiter supply. At present this
is purchased from the railroad com
pany and hauled by wagon a distance
of about two miles. Surveys have
been made, however. to various springs
in the vicinity. but so far without dis
covering anywhere that a sufficient
supply may be obtained. Further ef-
forts in this direction viii be made,
and it is hoped with greater success.
It is said by the genial engineer of
the Majestic COMPANY Mr.. w. NJ,
White, that every visitor to the o. X.
mines leaves it in a state Of mild in
sanity. This mental alteration is not
entirely caused. however. by the sight
Of the wonderful ore deposits in qUes-
ton There is another. and to the
aesthetic mind an infinitely greater
attraction, which is found on the 200
foot level.
The Whiskers Cave IN the o. K Mine
Mr.. c. E. Randall, the artist pho
