Salt lakers Hold Many Valuable
Mines IN New District.

w. 3. Wedell of Ogden has returned
from Black Horse. New. with glowing
tales OF its richness and samples with
which to add weight to his remarks
Salt Lake should build a railroad to
the camp to get all it's business" said
Mr.. Wedell. with the construction of a
road connecting Black Horse with Salt
Lake the former will grow rapidly and
develop into one of the richest gold pro-
ducing districts i'm the country Black
Horse is about fifteen miles beyond the
Utah line and about 250 miles directly
southwest of Salt Lake The camp is
trally located in the Snake mountain
range. Owing TO the marked geological
resemblance between the Cripple Creek
district in Colorado and the district sur
rounding the Black Horse property, many
prospectors have made great predictions
for the Nevada gold region.
Although but ninety days old Black
Horse has two gold mines producing a
high-grade ore, one shipping and the 9TH
er feeding one-Stamp mill day and
night. Another mine, running well in sill
yer and lead, is yielding heavily and will
be ready to ship in the near future. Pros
pectors are securing the hills and loca-
ton notices cover the ground for an area
of several square miles in the immediate
neighhorhood of the new camp
Tells of Great Showing.
Il went out to the camp thinking
would be disappointed, as / thought first
reports were Colored through the usual
excitement of the prospectors making the
original finds. After inspecting the coun-
try and its mines thoroughly and care
fully, L am convinced that it has made
the greatest showing ever made by any
long and four miles wide. One group of
claims on the north end of trend of the
zone is showing a bro
mide silver which shows 10000 ounces and
over, besides carrying $3.50 in gold This
vein is but four feet wide.

lned the stuff and located the claims. A
gang of five men is at work on the vein
and already has uncovered indicat tons of
immense bodies of ore. | understand The
owners of the group have been offered
$4,000 for a bond and lease by Salt
Lakers.
AN outcropping of lead. sixty feet above
surface and a mile in length, has beer
discovered halfway between Silver creek
and Miller's ranch further south The
Lucky DutChman group is south Of this
ledge. This group is a silVer-lead ii opO-
sitiOn and certainly looks good. Still

by the Mines Development company. With

WOOHey are heavy owners in this prop
arty, which shows a fOur-fOot vein in a
fifty-fOOt WINE. Ore shipped from this
vein recently went $500 in gold. One loot
Of this on the hanging wall carries $1,000
per ton value. There is already at least
100000 tons of milling ore in sight. A
gang of thirty-five men is employed at the
5al Pedro.
Between the San Pedro and The orig
nal Black Horse to the south are claimS
which are yet too young to show any
thing, but with the work DON carry
great promise. The old Black H.rsc YVES
located ninety days ago. The deepest
in the mine now being worked
go down thirty feet and show ore IN nu-
nerous places. The mine is situated on
me headwaters of the streams which flow
past the former placer diggings six or
seven miles distant This location is con-
sidered the source of the placer gold.
