1T Ia n source Of considerable wonder.
ment and surprise that the mineral
lzatlon OF Big Cottonwood canyon
has not attracted capital more IN late
years than It has, The district from n
geological point Of view, IS a most in
terestlng one. For more reasons than
one this district should be made to
yield more generously than II did away
back IN the 7O's when Big and Little
Cottonwood districts constituted what
was then UJah's most active mining
camps.
NEAR SALT LAKE CITY,
Big Cottonwood Is located but few
miles from the capital city and had It
the railroad facilities enjoyed by Blng-
ham It would be as readily accessible.
In the canyon are a good many pro-
pertes Of promise. one mine Is pro.
ducIng ore regularly-thc Maxneld,
which enjoys the record Of having paid
SllSOOO In dividends and has produced
more than Sl,0OOOO) worth Of ore Other
mines are being developed on a small
scale and the Kennebec Mining COM
pany, which acquired the old Reed and
Benson goup about two years ago Is
doing some deep tunnel mining, The
Kesslor's Peak Mining company IS also
executing development work on a mod
crate scale and the Scottish Chief at
the head Of the canyon, is developing
into q producer and is contributing to
the local ore markets, with another year
in which TO continue the campaign Of
exploration may see It become an I'M
V0rtant mine The Maxned, at the
present time Is the only regular shipper
in the canyon. Notwithstanding that
Il has been fctiye for the greater part
OF 30 years, the property is still con-
sidered to be a long ways from being
a developed mine

CONTINENTAL ALTA MINES.

The Continental Alta mines at the
head OF Little Cottonwood canyon,
viii cut an important figure IN the
future metal output of the camp Of AL
ta For a little over q year the Con-
tinental Mines q Smelling corporation
has been operating I'm the district ana
the management announced to share-
holders recently that fully SlOOOOOJ
worth OF ore had been added to the
miners reserves during the year, or
about MS much again as was In sight
when the Grizzly, Lavinia and Regu-
lator groups were purchased and which
now constitute the Utah properties OF
the corporation.
This ia most gratifying exhibit.

has been demonstrated that they can
be handled In q manner which means

shareholders need have no fear that
their interests will be carefully guard
ed
The properties owned by the Contl-
mental were among Atlas earliest pro-
ducers, and from them many thous-
auds of dollars were taken out OF the
rich surface deposits Of lead and Sill
yer ores.
OTHER ACTIVE PROPERTIES,
Among the other companies operat-
ing In Alta, and which are doing much
good for the camp, are the Albion
South Columbus, Alta-Qulncy and
few others,
The Albion management has been
ENGAGED In running long tunnel sew
eral thousand feet In length and
which will zap the ore bodies mo great
depth The adlt Is now entering min
erallzed territory. and Is nearing the
lodges towards which Il was directed.
The South Columbus Is developing
one Of the most likely groups IN the
Alta district. The locations cover an
extension Of the veins developed In the
Columbus Consolidated, The tunnel
has been driven about 500 feet, all done
this year, and Is approaching the vein
which yielded many thousands Of dol
lars from It's surface deposits When
encountered, there viii be stopping backs
Of at least 900 feet on the vein. The
company erected a new boardinghouse
during the year and added machine
drill equipment. Power Is supplied
from the Consolidated CON- compress
sor plant.
The ores Of the South Columbus car
ny good values in copper gold, silver
and lead,
The Alta-Quncy locations which
cover an extension Of the veins passing
through the South Columbus ground
have developed some large bodies Of low
grade copper ore. Machine drill equip
ment was added to this property this
year; and, like It's neighbor, obtains the
power necessary to operate them from
the Columbus Con,
Undoubtedly the Albion, South Co.
lumbus and Alta-Quincy win do some
shipping next year. il will not be
long until these mines will require
milling facilities for the low grade
ores

lers Peak further down the canyon,
are the old Carbonate & Rather Sailor

were productive Of much good ore when
the district was at the heighth Of rs

WILL CONNECT WITH ALTA
As the crow nles the Kennebec Is but
short distance from the mines that
have made Alta go famous IN the past.
il is probably on the same mineralizcd
zone, and tunnel cutting through the
mountains crest, would doubtless con-
ncct with the old workings Of the Flag
staff mine, one Of Atlas noted produce

W. j. Craig Of Bingham Is manager,
Is now worked under contract, and tun-
mel connections with Alta, as above

BRAVAB0 Of BOY
WHO RAN AWAY
Arrested at Railroad Station,
Lad of Thirteen Years
Conceals His Identity
EVIDENTLY FROM PHILADELPHIA

Charged with being a runaway. a
boy giving his name as Henry Baker,
aged l8 years, was arraigned In the
City Court this morning and turned
over to Agent Frank Stout, Of the So
ciety for the Prevention OF Cruelty to
Children. The youngster was arrested
In the Pennsylvania railroad station at
o'clock this morning by Patrolman
Daniel EalSn. The latter took compass
sion on the boy and thinking he was
hungry offered to buy him something to
eat. but the lad declined the offer.
He told the officer that he lived at
No. 42O King street and was waiting
for his uncle who was expected to arr
rive In the city on an early morning
train.
Patrolman EalSin had seen the boy
around the station for several days SELL
ing newspapers and he knew he was
not telling the truth.
Ran Away From Philadelphia.
He had learned from the youngsters
companions that Baker had been IN this
city since Saturday, having come from
Philadelphia, whore he had lived for
about n year in the Newsboys' Home.
Several Of the newsboys In and around
the station told the patrolman that
Baker had escaped from some home for
boys. When the officer made known
these facts to young Baker, the latter
simply said: "T guess you had better
take me. ! have no home"
To Agent Stout this morning Baker
said that what he told Officer EalSln
was untrue. He said his name is Pea
cock and not Baker. but he refused to
tell where he was from.
Assumed an Air Of Bravado.
Runaway boys as n rule are afraid
Of the police and when captured shed
copious tears and tell all they know.
Baker. however. refuses absolutely to
disclose his identity. Threats do not
bulge him. When Mr.. Stout threaten-
ed him with incarceration at the Ferris
Reform School until he was q years of
age he never moved a muscle
Ages Stout Is under the impression
that he has had the youngster under
his care before. He believes the boy to
be Charles Peacock, who ran away
from his home near Darby last spring
and was returned by the local authors
ties. The case is being Investigated.
