DENVER MONEY IN Ia SAILS.
Big Tunnel Enterprise to Be Pushed
as Result of Merger.

Denver and Colorado mining talent Is
again in evidence here in the La Sal
country by two recent promotions ia this
immediate vicinity, one of which has been
delayed on account of unreasonable
prices in prospects TO complete the mer-
ger OF group or claims on Mineral noun
tain, of which the famous High Ore prop
erty has been the caption, says a Basin
correspondent Of a Denver paper.
Your correspondent is automatically in
formed that c. II. Bryan. a well known
mining man Of Denver, is to be here On
or before the new year to prepare for the
relocation of a number of neglected prop
critics that are quite essential to the
working territory of this merger, and the
right of way 10 the Mineral Mountain
High Ore tunnel project. 1t is admissible
to say now that such plans can be con-
summated without interference, and those
here now are fairly agreeable to the move,
For over two years this enterprise mas
been pending through the fundamentally
Of certain members of the Baalbec Mining
company Of Denver, but unreasonable
property owners and cOntending influ-
eEees have been In the way. This prom
lSes now 70 be cleared UP by the proper
parties acquiring such interests as are
desired by relocation, and then they can
proceed TO business as long ago planned.
Last ran this camp was visited by Colonel
Thomas b Crawford Of Denver, and
Messrs. Bell and Burton. two eastern
c1oneyed men connected with the prOpo-
sition, and they were highly pleased with

owning considerable property within the
range Of this tunnel enterprise arrived
In camp yesterday, presumably az the in
stance Of Colonel Crawford, which leads
one Of an observing eye to believe that
he is the fOrerunner of preliminary prep
erations for active opera lions 50 far as
the company can proceed at this time of
the year.

work and improvements, and as they now
have fun swing, II may be Said that such
opera tons will be started as soon as prac-
ticable In the spring. Such properties as
will fall into their possession are large
copper and gold producers, and now that
copper is advancing to such favorable fig
ures there is every prospect that this en-
terprise has discovered a pretty good
thing. They are certainly up to a date
now where no outsiders can use the ma

Frank l. income Of Denver who IS now
In the east, has succeeded in interesting

they, too, viii come in for possession
OF valuable property here on Horse
mountain, well known as the old Grand
View group. While considerable develop
ment work has already been done, it IS
proposed TO continue on with the proposed
tunnel started by the former company
and tap the several big hematite copper
VEINS at a great depth below where good
showings have besn made by limited sur
face work. Such arrangements have been
made whereby the Moone syndicate comes
In full possession Of the property on New
Years, and immediate preparations are
TO be made for active operations, being
located where snow and winter Influences
are Of no consequence.
There are a number OF other mimi z,
propositions yet in al embryo state which
are being promoted by Colorado talent
and to all appearance are not "hot arr
vehulations, such as have characterized
the revelation" booms Of this part of
Utah in past years. When Colorado
money begins to jingle around at the in
stigatfou of Colorado enterprise then
something is going 10 happen when tine
practicable time comes
