To Kim that the country with All the

been left dormant so long.
At that time Mr.. Lewis was not very

Is no special reason for this except
mat the Majestic people made their
first sensational strikes In the o, X.
claim. which Is IN the southern portion.
The formations are every bit as favor
able In the north as In the south, the
snrface groupings are equally as ex-
tnnslve and II is the judgment Of com"
potent mining engineers that II Is only
matter Of time until some big mines

Among the more prominent proper
Ties In that section are the Copper
Mountain and Skylark. both Of which
have been developed to 2 point sulli-
cient to be cassed as mines. The

Skylark. was bonded not long ago TO a

A VAST DOMAIN.
The Copper Ranch company owns
vast domain which, like the Copper
mountain, Is under the management OF
Ben 7. Lloyd OF Salt Lake. Little has
been done on either property during
the year except the annual assessment
work.
Or. p. A. II. Franklin, Of Salt Lake,
and associates have some extensive
Beaver county interests. They nave
two splendid properties; The Blackblrd.
located'in Copper Gulch, and completely
surrounding Samuel Nedwhouse's Cac-
tus. The other is the Bluebird, In the
North Star district. Little development
was done on either property during the
year, but II is announced that TINS
condition will not continue much long

American Fork Canyon

PROSPECTING has been continued
IN a number Of claims in American
Fork Canyon during the past season
and the results have been such that
great deal OF further prospecting Is as
sured next season. so good Is the
showing in few claims that prepara-
lions have been made IN some cases to
continue the campaign during the pres
ent winter Shipments from. the can
yon have been light this season but this
fact Is not attributed altogether TO un-
favorable developments. In several
properties nice showings OF ore exist.

Among the best prospects might be
mentioned the Silver Dipper. in which
w, 5, Pierce and others OF salt Lake
city are interested THIS property was
bonded short time ago to W. S. Lyle
Of san Francisco, and that gentleman
has started three men at work driving

now in about s15 feet For some dis
tance In its course ii followed a por-
rhyry dyke. a cross cut was then run
to the vein with result that four
inches OF good galena and about Is
inches OF lead ore mixed with iron pry-
rites is now being drifted upon. This
property shipped quite little ore dur
Ing the summer OF 1901 Mr.. Lyle has
prepared for the winter campaign and

miles south OF Salt Lake and Beaver
county claims the honor OF this bit OF
history. The discovery point Is located
I'm the Lincoln district, a few miles
north Of Minersvlle, and for years the
'Old Rollins" mine was known 10 every
mining man In this section OF the west.
The mine produced silyer-lead ores
and Il was rich enough to pay even IN
those days, when transportation faciii-
Ties were not accessible and the science
Of treatment of ores was not SO lar
advanced as today.
There were no smelling works BUTT

History tells us that In that eyentfu

purpose very well, but complaint was
often heard that the ammunition was

son that the bullets contained much
silver, therefore being too hard for Or

barrels were comparatively short.
But pure lead was scarce then. so the
demand for II furnished q market for
the product OF Utahs frst mine.
One time. Dr. Christian, the present
mayor Of Beaver city, found 1t remu-

Notwithstanding that mineral was
known to exist In Beaver county nearly
half century ago. that section has
suffered most shameful neglect. not
from the prospector, but from men who
had the means to invest In and develop
mines.
Opportunities have gone begging
nearly all this time and 1t is only up to
within a few years ago that mining
men began to realize the wonderful pos
sbilities of Beaver county as produce

siderable activity back in the '1Os and
