ionof Cactus $4,000 900 in Sight

Never before IN the history of Utah
has such activity been displayed IN
the mining camps as at the present
time From nearly every district has
come the news Of unprecedented
prosperity There are some exceptions,
Of course, but generally speaking this
Is the case. II IS gratifying to note
the results being obtained in many OF
the new camps being opened and ex-
pored, and it Is equally so TO hear OF
the revival that has been lnaugurated
In the older camps, particularly Alta,
Dry Canyon and Ophir, which were
once abandoned, II being said Of them
that they were played OUT that the
pay ore bodies had become exhausted,
or the newer camps those established

Mr.. Newhouse, during his recent VISIT
to the Cactus declared Il to be the best
mine with which he was ever c0n-
nected and that is saying a whole lot,
for he has been associated with some
OF the greatest mines I'm the country,
and particularly OF this state.
GREATEST UTAH MINE,
The mining magnate Is quoted by
the Milford Times as saying.
You can safely say that Beaver
county possesses the greatest mine In
the whole State OF Utah

Yes that means profit Of approSi-

sight. There is no mine in Utah that
can make such a showing as this. It
cannot be equalled by any individual
property IN the United states, even The
