basis for future success, and the
character OF the men composing the
organization and the nature Of the
ground composed Of large acreage OF

The Western Utah Copper company
is the new name for Gold Hill, under
which title the group Of the organlZa-
ton has been known IN the past.
Little is known generally in Salt Lake
regarding the Gold Hill group owing TO
The carefully guarded manner in which
the operators have pursued Their lap9rs.
To a few, however. the truth long has
been a matter Of appreciation, and
IL has been known TO this few that
tho Gold Hill properties were among
the choicest in the entire State. De
velopment work has been going on for
many months, but the operators had
many things 10 close before they could
take the public into their confidence.
tt is thought that tho present oTganiZa
ton would remain secret for some
time to come were II not for the
fact that the story leaked out from the
Boston end.
The Gold Aill properties are located
ia the Deep Creek country, and they
consist of 364 acres of splendid terri
tory. The Western Pacific railroad will
come within thirty miles OF the mine,
while the rumors regarding the plans
ef the Salt Lake Route all point 10 the
fact that the region of Deep Creek will
soon be one of the favored terri
tories Of the State from a railroad
standpoint. The owners OF the group
Of claims have developed some surpris-
ing tonnages and values In their posses
sions. and it is understood that there
are at least 100000 tons Of ore blocked
out which will carry excellent copper,
silver and gold values. Some Of the
handsomest specimens OF copper ore
ever found in Utah have been brought
30 Salt Lake from this group during the
present year, and there IS splendid
future before this organization.
The organization of this company
means much TO the prominent Salt
Lake and Boston capitalists interested
IT, means the DEVELOPMENT and enjoy
meut Of an ideal mining proposition,
which can be made 10 pay practically
from the start. But the chief import OF
this company and those composing it
is the apparent fact that the long de-
sired era for DeeD Creek is dawning
It has been predicted for years that
large capital will jump at Deep Creek
properties as soon as their merits have
been realized. The advent of this
Organization. therefore, NAV be taken
as the pioneer effort 70 corraIl the
properties Of Deep, Creek. The railroads
will follow, there is no doubt Of that,
and Deep Creek. IN all likelihood,
will be the scene of Utah & next mining
excitement without much waste Of time,
and as has been predicted so often, this
district when treated 10 a season OF
genuine mining. will rot have 20 lower
its colors 10 any III the whole State.
