IS QUIET
BUT MAKING HEADWAY
SAYS MINING MAN

J. r. Clark. who for many years
has been prominently connected with
the mining life of Utah and the vest,
is in Salt Lake from the Rawhide
camp. where he is extensively inter-
ested. One seldom hears of RaNhide
these days, the boom having doomed
itself out 10 a considerable extent,
but Mr. Clark has confidence in Raw
hide, and feels sure that il is only
matter of proper development 10
bring the district 10 the front again.
But not in a boon way. He deems
Lie milling possibilities of the mines
unsurpassed but the camp next time
will come TO life on its merits.
The camp of Rawhile now con-
tains about 1900 people, while sew
eral months ago there were over TO-
900 people in the district. said Mr..
Clark 10 the Tribune. a great
many. too many. came into Rawhide
during the boom lays looking for
work. They were disappointed, and
had TO leave. The mine owners of
thee scamp appreciate tnat they have
secured great deal Of help frcTa oat-
side capital. and that it is up to them
now 10 produce results on then OWL
capital before interesting outside
money again They are willing to
prove their good faith. and are hap
py that il IS NJ . them t. make
good
There are o or . different prop
ositions In the camp. mainly leases,
that are operating and paving their
miners on money wrung from their
ground, You know that Swift Wa
ter Bill has a ten ton mill in opera
ton al Rawhide. and 10 this plant
the leasers are shipping their milling
grades of rock. There are consider
able finds OF high grade gold ore
found every once in while, but it
Is not in such quantities that it will
pay TO sort and ship direct to the
shelters when this mill is so near
al hand Other mills are going TO
be installed One combination of
capital has purchased well which
will supply their projected ten stamp
mill The water company is now exr
tending It's water pipe line into the
camp. This viii save the people from
hauling water by wagon. it will cut
down the expense Of water, while it
will also provide sufficient water for
the 80 ton mil the water company
is to install in the camp. You who
have been in Nevada deserts can APP
precisto what il will mean to the
camp when this water system has
been completed.
There are three different organic
atoms in the district that are to pay
a dividend TO stockholders during the
current month All three are leasing
propositions. and when you consider
he age OF the camp there are few dis
iricts. Il any, in Nevada that can
show such a rate OF profit sharing al
a corresponding period of develop
ment The Gruett Hill and the
kearns No. leases are two of these
dividend paying properties, and there
is q third lease. the name of which
escapes me at this time. All three
are shipping their ores to the mill
mentioned. There are over dozen
properties in the camp which one can
say with all sincerity that they are
doing splendidly. and look as If they
will continue 10 make good in time 10
come.
The mine owners feel that Raw
hide viii work out its own salvation
successfully. and | feel confident on
that point myself. The milling val
ues there mean long term mining
and that means long term dividend
