helt of Beaver county to the at.
tention OF the world has been due
largely TO the energy and indomit-
able pluck Of State Senator Arthur
g. Lewis.
Others have figured conspicu-
ID, in this region, but Senator Lewis
-, ,he ball in motion when he succeed
"A IN launching the Majestic Copper
aiming and Smelling company, with
.,,ich he was actively identified until
during the present year, when he retlr-
"A N rive his attention to the organiza-
Alan Of other propositions OF apparent
10 eoual merit in Beaver county.
Until the appearance Of Senator Lew
"a IN the southern field, 1t had lain DOR
rant for years and, with the exception
~ the Horn Silver. at Frisco. there
wasn't an active mine in the whole
NJ Beaver county Prospectors were
found in the hills during the summer
months but no work Of an extensive
nature was carried on any where until
the advent of the Majestic, few years
ago
The senator has always had great
faith In the future Of the Beaver coun-
~ and while so-called experts" were
turning It down time and time again,
his faith remained mistaken. He be-
peyed the country would cut an i'm
portant figure In the worlds produce
tion of copper and there is everything
10 Indicate that his Representation win
come true. Recent developments there
certainly ought to be a source of
whole lot OF discomfort to the men
sent there in times past to examine the
region who staked their regulations on
their reports that the deposits were all
on the surface and that the veins did
not 60 down. Recent events have COM
petely disproven this theory for the
fact has been clearly demonstrated in
the Cactus, Old Hickory, o. X. and
other mines that rs depth has been at |
,ained the ores become richer and the |
bodies more extensive.
THE ROYAL PROPERTIES.
Senator Lewis has displayed facul. |
ty Of getting hold OF good things since |
he became Identified with mining In |
Utah. For the Royal Gold and Copper |
company, organized during the present |
year with a capital of 100000 shares |
Of par value OF $40 each, he has |
grouped together, It Is stated nearly |
1000 acres Of ground located In Beaver,
Iron and Washington counties. out OF |
this probably 1900 acres are located
In Beaver county and In which is In
cuded ~ Montreal. Skybo, Rebel,
Mammoth, Red Warrior, Atlas Moni.
tor, Nellie Beacon, Lady Bryan Star
Mountain, Wild Bill and Burning Mos
COW groups located in the Rocky,
Beaver Lake. Star and North Star dis
tricts These comprise grand galaxy
Of properties; many Of them bear en-
yable shipping records and We're the
scenes OF much activity in the early
history Of mining In Beaver county;
while In the others, the surface show
lngs give indications Of greater riches
below.
Generally speaking, the Royal prop
critics are strlkingly promising and sit.
uaied as they are, there seems to be no
uncertainty about. some of them at
l!:at' developing into great producers
Of wealth.
