after taken over by the Carrie Mack
Mining company. Other discoveries
followed, the island" proving good
field for the prospector. and many To-
cation were made. However, the mac
feasibility of the district precluded eco
nomical development, and no systematic
work was attempted; but, with the
opening of the Western Pacific railroad
for commercial business this fall, con-
ditions are now much changed. and this
becomes one of the most accessible dis
tricts, and is now being worked with
new energy and with telling results.
Already two properties have made
their appearance in the Salt Lake mar
ket with shipments of a good grade of
silver-lead ore. The ores of this dis
trict sell for about S100 per ton. The
Carrie Mack Mining company has the
distinction of being the first company TO
do work in the district. II has likewise
the distinction of being the first prop
erty TO ship ore. 1t has opened it's
ground with a shaft of 200 feet on the
vein; also drifts from the shaft Sew
eral other openings of minor Importance
have been made on other parts of the
property.

Not far east Of the western rim of the
Great Salt lake basin, surrounded by
sea of desert sand, and set in the heart
of the real great American desert,
limestone mountain rising abruptly out
of the surrounding waste, trending In
northerly direction and having an area
of about four by ten miles. is the Sill
yer Island mining district. To be more
exact. this district is located in Tooeie
county. Utah. about ten miles east of
the Nevada state line, probably twelve
miles northerly from Wendover, sta
ton on the new Western Pacific rail-
road. recently opened for traffic, and
thirty-dve miles southerly from Lucin,
on the Southern Pacific railroad. That
there is silver on this island has long
been known. Back in the 90s, before the
building of the Lucin cutoff, McKella-
brothers, the pioneers of that section,
"chlorided' 6igh-grade silver-lead ore,
which returned a good profit, notwitb-
standing il was placed on the market
only after a long and arduous wagon
haul to the Salt Lake valley shelters
Very little attention was given TO this
section until the fall of 1904, when the
discovery Of mineral in place caused

Work of Tying Brothers and Others.
The Wyoming and other claims of the
Miller Mining company. on Miller hilI
have been the sensation of the district
during the past three or four years
Francis and Charles Tying operated tl:e
mines under lease. and for a period run
ming over more than two years they
shipped nearly 800 tons of ore a month
that averaged about s67 a ton The
lease made the brothers independently
wealthy. When their lease expired lass
summer. David Taylor, w. A. Wilson
and some Colorado men got hold of sSe
ground, and they are still producing
fine ore under a lease that they OBJ
tanned. The Tying brothers have or
ganized company to exploit and OPP
crate the Texas property adjoining the
Miller. and reports indicate that they
are going to make mine of that
On the east side of Miller hill the Pa
ciflc Mining company is operating on
the old Blue Rock group. A strike was
recently made that produced ore, the

per cent lead and 81 ounces silver per
ton.
John Cleghorn. who made a cleanup
in the sale OF the Seven Troughs mine a
couple of years ago, is interested with
several other men in a lease and bono
on the Merrill group in Mary Ellen
gulch- The lease and bond has been In
corporated. and the fact that rich ore
was encountered some time and that
development is now progressing to de-
termine the permanency OF the discov-
cry has made il easy to dispose or
treasury stock and keep three shifts O.,
men at work. This property adjoins the
Live Yankee. which is controlled by u
number of those interested in the Mer-
rill. Good ore is being mined at this
property all the time, though not in
large quantity.
Old Sunday Mine Sensation.

AFTER A YEARS TRIAL

The people of this country have now
had nearly years trial Of the so-called
pure food law, and the general verdict
is unquestionably that not only has
this law proved its worth in ettecting a
remedy for many long existing abuses,
but that, if anything, the legislation
was too long delayed. OF course it is
true that many inferior and adulterated
brands of edible goods still remain on
the market, but there is no necessity
for people being fooled in the purchase
of these goods. Where the law is
strictly observed and this is probably
the case in the great majority of in
stances-only pure goods are marked
as such and the careful purchaser is en-
ab'aa - discriminate with a knowledge
that ha Is being guided nl protected
