The Daisy has considerable ore in

velop more. Its trouble during former
operations was principally due to slime,
and since the slime problem Is not
such a buE-bear as it used to be, Il Is
very probable that the Daisy yin again

Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1907-12-14

At that time the superstition was that
the blanket veins Of the camp would
be ore-bearing wherever found. ON
this theory, the camp was dubbed ''rhe
Johannesburg Of America" and with
high hopes, an energetic campaign OF
prospecting was begun. Developments
proved that the veins were persistent,
but the values were not. throughout
an area several miles square, every
property that was tested TO the proper
depth found the veins, but only few
OF them found ore. Generally the
veins looked like ore but they did not
carry gold In payable quantities. III
the veins had been rich enough TO pay
