three hosting and operating plants are in
constant operation on the west side of
Scott hill. and ore is being taken out at
each place.
Copper Apex Operations.
The Copper Apex is the first property
on the hill, and to the prospectOr and
miner the works will present a showing
which would impel anyone to stake his
all on the future of the property The
company which is operating the mine has
Il lease and bond for a reasonable sum
on what was formerly known as the
Brown property. They have a shaft down
a short distance through good shipping
ore In the tunnel. which is now in
something like 100 feet they have a
streak Of ore which carries gold, silver,
lead and copper IN paying quantities, and
a shipment of a carload OF the product
was recently made TO the-smelters by
way of Park City. As soon as the roads
can be fixed up and a solid bottom Sc
cured for' the year round. the ores from
the Apex will be sent to the smell
ter down the Cottonwood canyon
Iowa Copper Running Tunnel.
In the same district and adjoining the
Copper Apex is the Iowa Copper This
property is located somewhat farther
down the hill than its neighbor. George
Hall is manager. and under his guidance
tunnel is being run TO cut the ledge
which crops on the surface. Already ore
. of a paying quality and quantity mas
been exposed in work done by the COM
pany. and it is to cut this at depth that
the present work is going on There are
at present twelve men at work, and IN a
short time the desired point should be
reached. Iowa people are IN control OF
the stock, and they are sparlng no EFFORT
or money to make the property a paying
At the Scottish Chief.
On the same side of the hill, but nearer
the top than either of the two properties
mentioned, is the Scottish Chief, and
while the property has been closed for
some time. a contract is now being let for
the driving of the lower tunnel distance
of fifty feet, and it is given out that with
the completion of this Work, the COM
many will again take full control and OPP
srate the property again This mine has
had ore for long time, but the quantity
has been insufficient TO make the place a
big mine. However, little deeper WORK
may bring about the desired results.
Mountain City's Prospects.
over beyond the Scott Hill property and
in the head of Iron canyon is the Noun
tain City property The company mas
fifteen fun claims and has done some
work in the past. A new system is now
being inaugurated and under the manage
ment of Mike DAILY a new shaft is being
started Three men We're recently put at
work. a within installed and it is the in
tention of the company to keep steadily
at work at least until the snow makes II
impossible to get in or out from the prop
ertv and. if things show up so that
continuation of work is warranted in the
new shaft. the force viii be Kept there
right along. In other workings at tne
property, ore has been encountered n
small quantities and II IS to secure uepth
that the shaft is being sunk.
In Thayne's Canyon.
In Thaynes canyon there are severa
small properties but none except The
Martin and the Jupiter are doing any
thing Both of these properties nave ore
the first having a streak OF gOld-Dearlns
rock while in the latter there IS SOoC
deal of lead-silver ore in sight OScal
Lawrence is in charge of the Jupiter and
is going ahead with work and taking out
a little of the ore all the time.
Utah First National.
Down in town considerable work is be
ing done in places hitherto untouched
and in some good indications of ore ar
being found. Below the cemetery, direct
IL north of town the Utah First Natlona
is working A shaft is now down $50 teet
and while there is no. ore yet in slght, TN
rock coming in carries good values Irol
and copper pyrites are found, and out o
a streak. recently cut assays OF per cen
conner were obtained. This property i
the result of a discovery of a ledge on on
side of the hill which, when developed ;
little gave good silver and lead values,
ounces silver and g in lead being sc
cured several times The ledge dips L
the northwest and into the hill, and, &C
cordingly, the shaft was begun with tn
view of cutting the ledge at a depth
The management of the property nov
thinks IL is within twenty or thirty fee
of the desired point and feels conflden
that the present ore values have thei
source in a big body below. For tim
Park City did not take the little prop
ertv seriously, but now 1t is watching de
yelopments anxiOusly. for certain it i
that should the hopes of those in contrO
AT the National be realized, Park Cit,
will experience a boom in mines whicl
will amount to a revolution.
