over to the south, in the Deer Greek
country, the signs and indications are
much more promising than ever before
One of the leaders of this section IS the
Annie Laurie Extension President L. II.
Outzen has Just returned from an east
ern trip. after dispOsing of treasury
stock sufficient to continue the work
mapped out for some time to come.
The tunnel is now entering the mineral
zone and the Iace IS now IN mlnerallzed
ground. Three of the leading veins of the
Annie Laurie are expected to be cross
cut in the tunnel on the extension, and
the latest developments are carrying out
the judgment of the management.
The Hidden Treasure, on the Deer Creek
side. is a new corporation, but II mas Sc

the best mill and tOWnSiteS on the noun

abundance of timber The company IS

The Henry district. which includes the

and other properties, has its share Of the
spirit of development and abiding faith.
Just recently the 3. w. & II. has added
another big vein to the many that have
made this property a sensation The new
vein is on the J. NJ. ground, and at last
reports q crOss-CUt of twenty-eight feet
on the surface had not struck one of the
walls. This vein carries surface values OF
81. 20 to $3.50 per ton, and at a depth Of
twelve feet in shaft the values had in
creased TO So per ton
The Belknap tunnel is nearing the vein,
which is its objective point, and the rock
is becoming very encouraging in charac-

A new discovery on the Gold Cup
showed traces of silver and gold, and a
little depth gave ore that buttons of
both metals could be blown out on. No
assays of this have yet been received
On the Marysvale side unusual life is
manifest. and plans are crystallizing now
which if carried out, via redeem this /
section of the mountain. and give il a
footing that 1t has long deserved.
