VISITORS TO MINES

Mining Men Impressed With the
Mineral Sbowings of
Beaver County.

Shortly after seven clock Tuesday
morning the Beaver Mining Special
reached Salt Lake from Milford From

sphere of activity has been broadcned,
it is understood that several deals
were turned on the trip. but most of
them are in that stage of development
that nothing can be said regarding
them. Many in the special never saw
Beaver county and its mines before,
and they were duly Impressed with all
they saw. The weather was ideal.
warm but not hot. The Accommodations
on the train were all that could be de.
sired, and the diner, especially, gave

service. The train belonged to the
crowd and smokers were so free with
the weed that one would almost think
their wives permitted them TO smoke
their pipes and cigars IN the parlor.
The fact that only four or FIVE Of the
party, aside from the newspaper men,
were allowed TO go through the New

all. but those who went INTO the prop

Monday night there was a general

other mines were attractions during the
day, and handsome specimens Of rich
ore were brought from each one for
cabinets in Salt Lake and elsewhere.
