Mining i'm Beaver county has so FAR
recovered from the setback it received
two or three years ago, that 1t is now
causing everybody 10 sit up and take
notice. Several new and strong cor
porations have invaded the camps and
the older ones have pushed through in
a manner that has been really electri-
fying. The conversion of the Cactus
into one of the states greatest, if not
the. greatest, copper bonanza, has in
stilled a feeling of confidence that is
now discernible in every part OF the
county Other properties have made
records of a gratifying character and
the new year begins with a feeling that
a great tonnage Of ore will be finding
it's way to the smelteTs during the next
twelve months. There is no wildcatting
in Beaver county. There is not single
company operating there, so far as
known. that has not at least the merit

complished in detail in this brief men

interested i'm many of the operating
companies must take the VIII for the

Turn of the Tide.
When the affairs of the Majestic
company got into bad shape, and there

than the operations of the Newhouse
Mines q. SHELTERS corporation, the Horn

silver has continued to make good, the
Cactus has rounded out INTO a faDu-

converted into regular producers, and
a number of other mines have broken.

become confirmed pessfmists Oil the
value of the region, are how frank and
ardent advocates of It's worth. aud local
money has shown just as much eager
ness to get into the game as has capt.

well for the future. Ii means that min

convinced themselves that it is prom

that work is all that is necessary 20

and Frisco just about as productive
and meritorious as the best i'm the

The Sensational Cactus.
The Cactus bonanza of the Newhouse
Mines & Smelters corporation has
proven the sensation of the year in
Utah mining. An absolutely new ore
