Deep Creek Country After
Many Years Has Its Chance

be to Deep Creek what the Nevada
Consolidated company has been to Ely.
Railroad Connection Assured.
A still greater factor in the bring
ing out of that region is the certainty
that railroad connection with tho
camps is TO be provided The rails &c
the Western Pacific company are al
ready stretched q considerable iistance
out into the desert and for weeks past
steel has been arriving here at the
rate of a .r2'nload Il day to continue
construction. which win be renewed
With increased vigor At the frs blush
OF spring. This road skjr,s the north
err limits of the mineral country end
will provide easy access into the mines
lying to the south the minute the des-
ert has been spanned. it is said that
the company will buil branch lines
into the camps requiring them during
the next twelve months. ard the state
ricnt umfuest;yaabiy has foundation in
fact.
More Than One Line Promised.
It can also be stated with a substan-
tial degree of certainty that the West
ern Pacific is going to have compe-
tition in the business that the coun-
try is going to provide. Other roads.
or another road, at least. viii be con-
structed during the coming year, and
the prOba Utilities now are that construt-
ton will be commenced before many
weeks have elapsed. The salt Lake
Route is said to have had surveyors
I in the field for months and it may be
/ that a branch of that line is what is
contemplated At any rate, another
road is going to be built out there and
definite announcements on the subject
may be looked for in the near future.
In a word, Deep Creek is due to boom.
and it is going to BOOM
Season Has Been Active.
In anticipation of what is coming
there has been more activity in the re-
gion under discussion during the past
year than at any time in its history.
| A powerful combination has taken hold
of properties adjoining the Gold Hill
group of the Western Utah company,
and development has been steadily pro-
! crossing for months past.
To the south of the Gold Hill bonan-
"a the Lucy L. company has been push
/ ing work for a long time past, and now
+ has some great bodies Of gOld-cOpper
I ore EXPOSED, as well as some fine
/ looking siIveF-lead ores in another
portion of its territory. The Clifton
| Copper Belt adjoining, also has re-
markabIe showing.
Out farther in the direction OF Iba-
paDh the New York Giant company has
I been pushing work with substantial re-
suits on its properties and there IS
reason now TO believe that the Old
/ Sheba company, with splendid mines
near Ibapah, viii be through with its
internal difficulties and down to bus
mess again before long.
Dutch Mountain to Trout Creek.
/ J.P. Gardner and his associates have
/ been doing great work at their prop
critics fin the Clifton district during the
4 wear. and so have the Young brothers
and their combination. NJ. r. Evans
has been steadily developing his prop
critics on Dutch mountain, in the Dolly
| Warden and Ferber districts, while
dozens of other properties, scattered all
F. the way from Dutch mountain south
! to Trout creek. have been receiving
better attention than in any previous
year. The Wilson brothers Western
Pacific properties VIII make a record
this year and there is reason to expect
that Manager H. J. Meyers of the
Trout Greek company will soon have
welcome news from that ground
Now is Time to Get In.
No attempt is here made to describe
/ in detail what has been done in the
country during the year. 1t has been
told and retold for twenty years in
succession It can be said, however.
that if the investor expects to get into
Deep Creek on a gTOund-foOr basis he
will have TO hurry. There was lots Of
hanging back when the Ely movement
began, and men that might have got
in for thousands early in the game
were a little later compelled to pay
tens of thousands for prOcrastinating.
The wiser heads and the men who
know the region are moving now. EY-
erybody viii be tumbling over each
other to get a fOothold out there when
the railroads are running trains.
