MINES Of BEAVER
DOING GOOD WORK
Developments Which Are Being
UnfOlded Strongly Prove
the COunty's Merits.
l.. n. MORRISON HAS
ANOTHER RICH GROUP
LELAND Company Has Splendid
Surface ShOwings of Lead
and Silver. I

Salt Lake on Thursday was the gath
ering place for owners OF Beaver county
mining properties, and on all sides ono
could hear most gratifying reports from
this richly -mineraIized portion OF Utah,
Few had q moro favorable report to
make of Beaver county than l.. n. Nor
rison, who has spent many years In
Beaver and who is operating among other
bonan2as the Indian Queen property Mr..
Morrison, however, does not bank entiTe-
ly upon those properties upon which he
has spent much time in disclosing re-
sources of generous quantities. He has
interests two miles north Of tho Cactus
property, upon which he places mucn
store,
This property is owned by the LELAND
Mining company, an organization just
formed TO take over and develop group
OF twelve claims. Mr.. Morrison stated
Thursday that he had been going around
Beaver county for twenty years, and
thought that he knew every point OF In
terest, but the disclosures on the LELAND
ground have opened his eyes as nothing
has for some time past, Up TO the pres
ent time little work has been done, but
very energetic campaign OF development
Is now we'll under way
Mr. Morrison has had several assays
made of the LELAND surface groupings,
and the results fully explain the cause
OF his confidence in this new proposition
within his control. These assays show
the ore TO carry all the way from $3.50
to $50 gold. 35.2, 94.4 and 1919 ounces
silver; 20 to 32,3 per cent lead The ore
shows in numerous places on four claims
Of the group at the present time, and at
intervals of 1000 feet the ore has been
exposed to daylight by trenchings. Mr..
Morrison does not attempt TO conceal his
satisfaction over this property, nor the
confidence he feels as to results OF the
present campaign OF work.
Beaver county, states Mr. Morrison, Is
looking better than ever in It's history.
Great activity Is seen on all sides, and
the mines upon which development is be-
ing done are showing up excellently. II
the Cactus property continues during the
remaining months of the present year as
1t has during the past few months, states
Mr. Morrison, there Is not a property in
the State OF Utah that can excel 1t. Re-
ports from the Cactus and the splendid
achievements of the management have
created a most gratifying impression in
local mining circles. On the lower levels
the ore bodies are being exposed with
regularity and the quality Of the ore is
giving every indication best calculated
to strengthen the conviction OF Mr., New
house as TO the merits OF this enterprise.
The mill at this mine Is doing excellent
work, and everything is in highly pros
porous and satisfactory condition.
AT Milford Mr.. Morrison heard some
very complimentary reports from the Ce-
dar Mining company ground, upon which
there are being disclosed some eXtraor
dlnary ore developments. The entire
county, he states, is up and doing; and
the present year will end with more
mines established than al any past time
in Beavers history.
