.GOPHERIHG ERA IS
MATTER OF HISTORY
Mines in San Francisco District
Now Are Being Sounded
Deeply.

When reminded Saturday of re-
mark made in Beaver county during
the recent mining special to the dis
lricts OF that section of Utah, which
remark in substance was that the San
Francisco district was one Of the most
attractive and promising in Beaver
county. A. +. Davis reiterated the state
ment, and pointed to the Horn silver
and the Ncwhouse properties, both he

lines What these properties have done
and are doing is history well known,
hut near them and surrounding them IN
that great district are numerous other
properties worthy Of the closest at
tention and most sincere develop
ment
Among the other properties Of that
section that arc being worked by the
owners. md in which Salt Lake capI
tai ia the power for good, may be
mentioned the Horn Silver Extension,
Imperial. Lulu, Reciprocity, Horn Silver
Contact. Humbug, Blackbird, Washing
ton, Horn Silver and the McHale
group, all either showing fine results
or 50 close 10 success as to be regarded
as established mines. Mr.. Davis recent
" made a close examination of that
region lying between the Newbouse
and the Horn Silver. and he found two
grcat contacts, averaging from six to
fifteen feet in width, and these figures,
he states, are conservative Mr.. Davis
made study Of the conditions ON the
Reciprocity. which may be taken as an
example of what the surrounding
ground is capable Of.
In the early days there was taken
from the Reciprocity surface the sum
of $4,000. although no working was
deeper than thirty feet The same rule
seems 10 have applied in the San Fran
cisco district with but two or three
exceptions as in other parts of Beaver
county, that is. little work has been
done aside from surface gopherlng. On

many who have given the district an
examination that it's brightest era is

places that ran AS high ms As per cent

II is recalled by old-timers that the
Humbug ground gave up something
like $4,000 worth of mineral wealth,
and no hole deeper than forty feet was
sunk. Walter James and associates re-
Gently purchased a group of claims
whose surface groupings were exceed

BEATTY RAILROAD DAY,
Little Oasis in Desert Grows to Be an
Important Center.

Inasmuch as next Thursday and Fri
day have been set aside by the citizens
of the little city Of Beatty, New, for A
grand celebration to be designated as
railroad day n bit of retrospection
is apropos regarding this small but won
derful oasis in the desert of southern
Nevada. Two years or so ago Beatty
was almost an unknown quantity, its
name was unspoken save among few
prospectors and Indians who wandered
that far along the river cutting the
Amargosa desert Mt Beatty's ranch
When Shorty Harris and Ed Cross made
history by finding the mineral wealth
OF what Cross named Bullfrog, Beatty
was the controlling power Of advance,
Tor without It's resources Bullfrog would
have been retarded and perhaps re-
NAMED unknown even today.
Beattys claim to the gratitude of
nations lay in the fact that il CON
tanned sufficient water for all the needs
of constantly growing mining popula-
ton. While the towns Of Rhyoite and
Bullfrog, now practically one and the
same, quickly outnumbered Beatty from
the standpoint Of population and minos,
both had to draw upon Beatty for
water, and they had TO pay for it, too,
Wagons came into Rhyolite during the
summer Of 1905 with water in barrels
To get gallon or a barrel you had to
pay for 1T, and pay well; but on the
same wagon was a conspicuous sign
which read, Water is free at Beatty. -
So Beatty quietly waited for its year
Of Jubilee. II has come, and what
brought ii was the water Two rail
road systems now pierce the Bullfrog
country, When it came to selecting
railroad terminal or headquarters, Rhyo-
lite thought that its size presented q
strong argument for the honor and ad-
vantage. Beatty threw a little water
on the Rhyolite aspirations, and the
day was won. Beatty and its water
gained the victory, So the latter part
Of the week the little city, now des-
ert metropolis, will offer it's gratitude
upon hospitality s altar, and the visitors
from Los Angeles, Goldfeld, Salt Lake
and other points will be given royal
welcome,
The committees in charge OF enter
taipment will find very little trouble in
providing an abundance of water for
the thirsty desert traveller, but those
who have trained themselves to do with.

New Bridges.

This city will soon be up against
a proposition that will cost nice
little pile of money to demonstrate
the building of two new bridges,
one over the Kinnickinnic on Cedar
street and one on Maple street.
These bridges were built in 1894 to
replace the iron bridges carried off
and wrecked by the flood of the 18th
Of MAY of that year. The iron
bridges wrecked on that occasion
were comparatively new. We do
not know the cost but it was esti-
mated that the food caused loss
to the city of $4,000, the most of
which loss resulted from the des-
truction of 1.-THE bridges and abut-
ments. To replace these wrecked
structures wooden bridges were
built.
The life of wooden bridge is us
ually reckoned at twelve years.
These bridges were built thirteen
years ago. They have been replanked
a number of times but the timbers
have not been renewed.
In view of the fact that lumber is
so high, more than double the price
it was in 1894, and from the added
fact that an iron bridge is much
longer lived than a wooden one, it
is probable that these old bridges
will be replaced with steel struct-
ures. 1t may not be necessary TO
replace these bridges this year, but
at no distant day they must be re-
newed and the question of their re-
construction is live one-one thaS
must be considered and prepara-
tons made to meet.
