Royals Natural Advantages.
There are some natural advan-
tages in connection with the work
ings Of the Royal that should not
be overlooked.
This property, royal both In name
and in fact, has furnished the means
that have contributed to some Of the
most important items IN Utah's his
tory. The Rebel group of three
claims, adjoining the Harrington and
Hickory group, has produced over
o quarter of o million dollars. IL is
a silver5lead proposition, the lead
running TO So per cent, and the sill
yer over 40 ounces 10 the ton. 1t
was at Its height about the Ccnten-
ial year. Messrs. Matthew Cullen
and Dennis Ryan sold this property
and afterwards, with the proceeds,
purchased the great Horn Silver
mine, from which was derived the
money that erected the Cullen hotel,
in Salt Lake, and the much greater
hostelrv, the Ryan, in St. Paul,
Nina building Of national re-
pute, which has done more to adver-
tise the middle northwest than any
other building IN that territory. The
Horn Silver was sold by this combi
nation to Jay Cooke, aud has, during
its history, produced the almost IN
conceivable amount of forty millions
of dollars, which entities it to the
distinction of the king of Itah's pro-
ducers. By way of disgressiou, it Is
interesting, but not patent, in this
connection, to state that the Horn
Silver is taking on new life, after
several years of inactivity, and is
again becoming a substantial pro-
Queer of wealth. and is contributing
TO the second life of this remarkable
country.
The Montreal.
The Montreal group, before men
toned. is situated a short distance,
measured By four or FIVE miles, from
Milford. and is reached by a spur
from Hickory station on the railroad,
making the extraction of its ores GER
tain at a minimum cost, Outside of
the wonderful values in the precious
metals which it mas produced and
can continue to produce. without
doubt, there are two strong factors
that should not be overlooked The
first is iron, which Is found In large
Quantities and IN wonderful richness.
From these iron deposits have been
taken thousands of tons which were
used as huxes at the old Horn Sill
yer smelter The iron averages
about 90 per cent in that metal, and
resembles and approaches the ore
found in Iron mountain, at Pilot
Knob, Mo. Then on this territory
are found also deposits OF lime, the
purity of which is tainted only BY
the presence of copper. silver and
gold. From these deposits numerous
shipments have been made and the
values exceed 2 per cent IN copper,
with about s. in silver and gold,
They are practically self-fiUXiug, the
lime being so pure that II is trans
lucent. From this part of tho
grounds much higher values than
those given have been taken, At
one place this lime ledge Is over 400
feet wide, but until recently. when
modern methods Of reduction have
prevailed, they were useless. A part
of this ground Is q verirable noun
tain of copper, as shown by an ac-
companying Illustration. Hero Ma
ture seems to have been exceedingly
lavish, IN distributing the red metal
IN combination such as to invite
the attention of smelter men.
Red Warrior Group.
Situated ten miles to the south
west is the Red Warrior group, with
a record of production measured by
100000 in silver and lead. The At
las and Monitor group of twelve
claims Is a nearby ncighbOr, in
which the deepest work in the coun-
try has been done. excepting only
that In the Horn Silver, Its future
promises 10 exceed the past, which
has been characterized by profit
earning. Just west of this group are
the Nellie and Beacon claims, from
which $4,000 has been taken On
the Beacon property, below the sill
yer and lead ores a twenty-two-fo0t
ledge of 5 per cent copper has been
exposed. To the north of this prop
erty is the Lady Bryan and Star
90
tent, all of which Is patented, and
on which development work, to the
extent of 1900 feet. has been ac-
comphshed, ard from which ship
ments that have given good profits
have been made. In the same vicin-
ity are the Wild Bill and Burning
Moscow holdings. with a combined
record of over S200.O00 to their cred
it and on which large tonnage of
silver and lead ores are now waiting
