z p, Williams. whose home is at Seat
tie and who Is n frequent visitor 10 this
city, where he has scores OF good friends.
arrived I'm Salt Lake from the Death
valley region Sunday where he has been
operating a mining property OF great
promise. Mr.. Williams with his record
along the forbiddng confines OF the Wiley
OF death is an example OF those daring
Drospectors and mining operators who
will overcome any difficulty 10 secure
from Mother Earth her hidden treasures.
Once Owned Lucky Jim Mine.
Mr.. Williams was formerly the owner OF
the Lucky Jim property, which no sold
10 q party of Seattle investors for a
good sum, but which has since proved
way out of proportion TO the enormous
values that the new owners hayc wrunG
from their purchase. These Seattle pco-
pic have started q most faithful season
OF development work upon their ground,
and have Joined the shipping class with
several carloads Of very rich gold orc.
In addition to the gold values there are
copper and lead contents that prove TO
the satisfaction OF the operators that
they have one OF the best propositions in
that mneralizcd region.
All Shows Free Gold.
In the Old Dominion mine, MI' Williams
Is satisfied that he and his associates
have a bonanza OF tremendous proper
tions. Their ground is 80 far purely
gold property, the ore being fun OF tho
metal I'm the free state Any rock from
the surface down that does not contain
evidences OF the values Il contains is the
exception, and assays have run up so
high that Mr.. Williams deems It unne-
CeSsary TO go into details. While the de-
Vclopmcnt work 80 far has not reached
great depths, the lodges widening with
the distance I'm depth are taken as sure
indication that values and extent Of ore
VIII greatly increase with development.
Long Way From Railroad.
BaIlarat is the supply point for the
district. The nearest railroad Is eighty
eight miles distant and Il is not known
how near the now roads now building
will bring the district TO these COnVcn-
lcnces, but the owners of property are
confident that the results OF their work
will soon convince railroad companies
that they would profit by giving these
propositions better transportation service.
Mr. Williams stated Monday that while
he was compelled TO haul water a dis
tunce Of three miles, from his experience
on the desert. he Is positive that he can
develop sufficient water for all needs on
the ground Of his company.
Erecting Ten-Stamp Mill.
The Republican property Is the pioneer
of the district and from their ground
have come some ore that is characteristic
OF the district. 1t is not generally known
that this company has upon the ground
at the present time a ten-stamp mill,
which they will have in operation before
the year is out Mr. williams stated that
there was a great amount OF activity In
the Pnnamint range OF mountains. and
that the excitement zone will surely but
gradually expand in that direction from
C,oldneld and BullfrOg.
