AT DUGWAY
Manager Meats of Four Metals
Company Talks of Camp.
SAYS ITS FUTURE is SURE
BRINGS SAMPLES FROM NUMER
GUS PROPERTIES.

M ST substantial evidence CT what
LHl the Dugway district, sixty-five
miles west Of Tintic, is doing.
was shown in ABOUT 300 pounds of ore
samples brought in by Manager George
Meats of the Four Metals company on
Friday. In addition to the ores from
Dugway, Mr. Meats had a number of
samples which he secured in the Deep
Creek section during a pilgrimage out
there two weeks ago. The samples
nave been placed on exhibition in the
Fouc Metals companyis Office, on the
second floor Of the d. F. Walker build
lhg, and IL is Mr.. Meats intention to
MI the room with samples from the
western camps as soon as possible, for
tne purpose of attracting attention to
what he declares will one of these
Utah.
MY motives" said he, "are not at
all selfish, unless a desire to bring
capital into our camps to open up the
mines and make it possible to secure
railroad transportation for the ores
can be called selhshness. Ny com
pany owns but a very small slice of
the Dugway district, and it is not ask
ing assistance from any one to de-
OF having number of mines opened
that prompts me to do what / can to
attract attention to the wonderful re-
sources of the section, for when that
is accomplished 1 know the railroads
VIII come to our assistance"
Among the samples shown are
chunks of carbonate and sulphide ores
That are as heavy as a man cares to
lift. The majority of them are lead
silver in character, though samples of
hne copper and gold ores are shown
as well. The samples from the Four
Metals mine, which has been opened
to depth of over 400 feet in a body
of ore averaging fifteen feet thick, are
simply magnificent. The carbonates
which are replaced by the sulphides
at a depth of eighty feet, assay about
As per cent lead and 10 ounces silver
while the galena runs 90 to 20 per cent
lead and II ounces silver
Samples from other properties in the
camp are equally rich, depth consid-
cred. and, as many of the owners are
working or preparing to work through
the winter Mr.. Meats is confident that
his property will only be one of many
lust as good, when corresponding
depth is attained.
Nov is the time" he declared, ''for
the investor to get in there and make
money No finer lodges exist anywhere
and enough work has been done on
several properties to show that devel-
opment is all that is needed to con-
vert them into mines. 1 know the
prejudices that have existed against
the district for many years, and when
myself and associates went in there
over two years ago it was freely pre-
dicted that three or four months would
let us out We were characterized as
'tenderfeet' who would rue the day we
say that we are there for keeps and
we know that no man can enter our
property now and say that we have
thrown our money away.
'Out in the Deep Creek country 1 saw
some of the finest prospects it has been
my good fortune to inspect The Card
ner property. on Dutch mountain, con-
tains a world of the finest kind of con-
centrating ore, and if it was in one
of the nearby camps it would sell for
s250,OO in a minute. The Gold Hill
property, belonging TO the Goodman es-
tate, is another. 1t is a gold mine
and one of these days it will be heard
from in no uncertain way. 1 would
like to mention in detail all that
have seen during the past few weeks,
for I could tell some stories that should
rattle the dry bones in this mining
community, but I suppose 1 would be
laughed at, rather than taken serious
ly, so I will let it pass for the pres
emit
Yesterday Mr.. Meats and Manager
7. A. Bird of the Dewey companys
property, in the Dugway district, left
on a flying trip of inspection, accom-
panied by Denver. Omaha and New
York people, some of whom are already
interested in the diggings. while others
are bent on picking up something good.
They will return in a few days.
