SHELTER BEING TALKED OF

After three weeks trip through the
Deep Greek region NJ. A Daugherty,
manager of the Carbonate Hill COM
pany's properties. returned to the city
yesterday about as enthusiastic as a
mortal could be over the wonderful
mineral showings that the different por-
tons OF the country west of the desert
contained. He went clear through from
lDugway 10 Ferber and Dolly Warden.
over the Utah-Nevada line, and from
Dutch mountain on the north to the
Spring Creek district, south Of Ibapah.
He declared yesterday that he saw so
many good things during his travels
that they were bewildering
Coming i'm he noted that the Western
racine was laying track away out be-
yond Grantsville and. within a few
days. he said. the crews would be Law
ing rails right out In the desert. BY
Christmas, he figures, the Nevada line
should be reached and the roadbed
placed in fairly good shape. While the
road is going to run pretty well to the
north of the Deep Creek mining dis
trict, II Will be near enough. Mr.
Daugherty says, 20 make the building
OF a spur road a comparatively easy
and quick job. once il has been de-
Cided upon.
I'll tell you one thing" said MIR.
Dsugherty. Captain Duncan Mac
Nichie and his associates have. one OF
The biggest copper mines in this coun-
try i'm their Gold Hill property, and the
world is going TO be made 20 realize it
one of these days. 1t has been opened
10 depth OF $50 feet and the continuity
OF the ore bodies and the permanency
OF the lodges Of that region have been
fully demonstrated by the work they
have performed. There has been more
work done on the Gold Hill property
than in all the properties Of the Cliff
ton district during the last year. not
withstanding that some of them have
been quite active. What the plans of
the MacNichie combination are | do
not know. but il is matter OF COM
ment out I'm that country that the COM
ing year Will witness the building Of a
smelter at the mines or some conven-
lent place near by. or course that
would mean that the railroad company
would have TO build down to the camp.
or that the MacVichie crowd would do
so on its own account. At any rate.
1T looks certain that another year will
see genuine boom inaugurated and
pushed along in that region. There
ought to be one, for naturalization of
the country and work done justifies il
right now.
over i'm the Ferber district Mr..
DauSherty stated, a great deal Of work
Is now being done and some splendid
properties are being opened up. The
ores here are copper and silver and
lead as well. Many properties i'm the
Dutch mountain end of the country
also have fine showings and without
stopping TO particularize, Mr.. Daugher-
~ stated that more than one prospect
In that section could be quickly con-
verted into producers Of merit.
The most activity is shown I'm the
Clifton district where the MacVfchie
properties are located. Mr.. Daugherty's
Pole Star property, which is located
sOuthWesterly from the Gold Hill. now
shows fine copper ore all the way down
the 260-foot incline shaft that has been
sunk during the past several months.
\ contract has now been awarded for
2S1 feet Of tunneling that will connect
with the ledge below the bottom of the
shaft and give good ventilation for the
further work OF exploration Mr.
Daugherty believes that the Pole Star
and Gold Hill lodges are one and the
same thing and he expects 20 make a
big mine during the next year or two.
The Lucy l.. company's property. the
Gardner properties and the ground of
tse Young brothers are each giving
good accounts of themselves. as is also
the ground of the New York Giant
company. where a strike was recently
made, and others.
