The general public is at last awakening
to the fact that the Annie Laurie and the
Sewer Consolidated are not the only great
properties in the Gold Mountain region.
The surface of the vast mineral belt has
as yet scarcely been scratched. This is
probably due TO the fact that the greater
portion of this mineral zone is covered
with deep mass of eroSiVe debris, which
renders surface prospecting, except in a
few instances. well-nigh impossible.
There are quite a number of unheard-Of
properties where development work has
been silently prosecuted almost contin-
uOuSly, and those properties are gradually
showing up some of the great masses of
ore which lies buried in the bosom of this
vast mineral range, awaiting but the
magic wand of capital to add their quota
to the mineral wealth of the world,
Boom is Not Wanted.
From New York, Boston. Chicago, Ok

It's of different properties in this and the
adjoining Marysvale district from parties
who are either interested or seek conser-
VatiVe investment for some of their sur
plus capital in some of the promising
prospects of these localities. The out
look for the camp was never better in its
history. And while it never had boom
nor does it desire one. in the light of re-
cent booms in adjoining states, which,
while some fine properties may be dis
covered have enabled the INSCRIPTIONS to
unload wildcat propositions upon an I'M
wary public.
The steady growth of the prospects in
Gold Mountain, like that in most of the
other of UtahS great camps. interests
and commands the respect and encourage
ment of the investor, whose business it is

ultimately become good dividend payers.
Though this class of investment may not
appeal to the gambler who would sooner
risk his money on a 100 to l Shot and lose
than invest in a proposition which de-
ponds upon its steady development and
intelligent handling to become a good div
idend payer and gilt-edged investment.
Some of the Big Ones.
The Annie Laurie, under the intelligent
management of Samuel NJ. Levy, and the
efficient superintendent of Dave VIII
liams, is putting on a rejuvenated APP
pearance, and the mistakes of the former
management are being nullified by their
up-tO-date methods New ore bodies are
being discovered and it more than taxes
the capacity of the mill to handle the
output
The Sewer Consolidated company find
ing the capacity of its chutes insufficient
to handle the easily broken ores is rush
ing the work in the mine under the man
agement Of r. r. Foster. Everything
about this splendid property is of the
latest and best description.
The development on the bonanza. the
General Common, is progressing under the
direction of Charles Skougaard.
The Kimberly Gold Mining company,
S5,000,000 corporation with great POSSIBLE
tiles, is being handled by H. G.. Snyder.
The Signal Peak is showing up nice
bodies of ore under the management of
Joe Nelson. This is one of the properties
that should shortly be heard from.
On Deer Creek Side.
On the Deer creek side, the Apex and
the Pearl groups need no description.
Ferries group has nice ore bodies. The
Annie Laurie and the Bank of England
will soon talk for themselves. d. B.
Stays Wandering Boy has large bodies
of low-grade ore.
The Golden Treasure the Southern
Boy, the Fisherman and the Thornton
group are all great prospects. The old
Silver King is being worked by the Oar
ger brothers. The Meyerhoffers are ex-
tending their tunnel on the LIE Roy 1500
feet and the Sewer company, L under
stand intends to do a large amount of
development on the group acquired

The Banner group, the property of d.
B. Staley, is bound to become a great
property. You can pan free gold from

Banner Gold Mining company.
Quietly Making a Mine.
The Oklahoma Gold Mining & Milling
company, with George B. Chesley of this
place as vice president and general man
ager, and with eastern capital interested,
has been quietly pushing development
work upon this group. No sensational re-
ports have ever been circulated concern
ing this property. Indeed, its existence
was barely known, except to parties on
contiguous properties. The original own
ers quietly prOspected the ground until
it became apparent from the vastness
and character of the ore bodies that the
property could not be handled with ad-
vantage by themselves as individuals.
Therefore, the resultant corporation.
While the general ore body does not
average more than IS in gold and silver
of a free-milling character, yet picked
samples are found that run into the thou
sands. There seems to be no reason why
this property should not in the near fu-
ture become big dividend payer with
intelligent handling.
