Among the great mines of the state
the Continental Alta may safely be
placed II Is a mine with a history,
both past and present It's future is
also assured. When the camp was in
the heyday OF its earlier productive
ness the ground under the name OF
the Lavina and Grizzly groups was
pouring out its metallic wealth in a
continuous stream and enrlching its
owners by thousands monthly. Then
came the great slump in the price of
metals and the property became in
active until aroused to life by the
genius of Henry M. Crowther
The mine is situated at the extreme
head of the Little Cottonwood can
yon and overlooks the great Park
City district as well as that of Big
Cottonwood. which latter is even now
taking a commanding position among
the mining districts of the state. The
property consists of many mining
claims, all of which are highly min
eralized and are intersected by i'm

OF ore. The great vein along which

figure, tattooed, red-painted, befeath-

brief waist fringe of dangling palm
