American Fork canyon, In Utah
county, the homo OF the famous old
Miller mino, which produced ~ milllonb
IN the past, promises 20 be tho scene
of great deal Of mining activity ~
poon Az the disappearance Of snow
makes II possible to get into that re-
sion with teams,
Al the present time considerable work
II being done In that locality by COM
panIos and ndyldu0ls who took IN
their supplies In carly winter or be-
fore the heavy storms that have Pre-.
vailed In the mountains since the set
,Ing In OF epung weather the downs
pour OF rain and snow Of last nlght stu
further delaying active operations
George Tyng, the veteran minor of
American Fork, and who hah had over
forty years OF experience In mining
operations an over the mineral regions
Of the west who was IN Salt Lake yoh-
terday, Is firm In the belief lhat the
mines Of the canyon, with aystomalio
ana intelligent development, VIII make
y good showing for themselves before
the close of the present season.
Mr., Tying ~ the gentleman VINO has u
lease on the Wyoming claim Of the
Miller mine group the strike of when,
last year, created considerable excite
mont In mining circles IN American
Fork and Salt Lake city; reports from
the new find unfortunately leading TO
greatly exaggerated statements u.s. TO
IT, value ana magnitude that have oor'
t0lnly had an Injurious onoct upon the
mining industry IN that locality
"AR Il matter of fact, said Mr. Tyng,
"iho talk of there being a million IN
sight IN the new ind had no foundu'
ton at all, and was merely guess WORK
or the result Of an Intensely excited
imagination, | have given out tho
statement before, and WIN roltornto H.,
that the output from the mine last year
was 1000 tons Of gross vnlue OF about
$4,000, the average Value of the ore be-
INK IN the ncIghborhood Of $40 a tom"
Mr.. Tying now has fourteen men IN
his employ, and these are DONG dead
work and are also engaged IN prospect
ing for more ore AZ the present time,
ON a conservative estimate, about 1000
tons OF shipping ore are exposed IN wy
omIng workings, and this VIII not be
touched until The snow moltA ana the
ronds become pnssnblc, which viii be
sometime IN July, from present lpdIe0'
tIone However, about carload Of ore,
now sacked on the dump, VII probably
be bontcd down 70 the main canyon
rond II the snow docs not become too
rotten, and an early shipment may be
looked for from this property II "
thought that the record OF the .Wy0'
ming for last year may possibly be
duplicated this season, The mine may
do even better than this, but this WIN
all depend upon the results OF the do'
yeopmont work now IN hand,

# Out In the mountains OF Arizona not 30

with his parents and sister.
Every morning and evening he would
drive the cows home TO be MIXED. Then
he would carry them back to Craze.
The evening our story begins no was
unusually late. and 1T was dark before
he started honcward. But what cared
he? Did he not know every foot Of his
fathers land? AS he trudged on a pierre
ing shrek filled his ears. Hc stopped
for n moment To see from whence the
sound had come. II came again louder
than before. He realized that It was his
own dear mothers voice!
