Where but q little more than four
nightly requiem and hordes of hun-
cry wolves chased their prey over the
hills. there has sprung up in the Tintc
mining district in Juab county, Utah,
the mining town of Eureka. In fact,
it is no longer a village or a town, but
u city and all this is due to the giant
caldrons OF metal that overlooked into
this territory and made fortunes for
men. The love of gold and the desire
to find riches snugly tucked away by
rnother nature is the birthrigilt of every
citizen and has made the pioneers of the
mining camps,
Eureka has it's characteristic boosters
and pioneers, men who have stayed by
the camp when others have fed. They
have not been known to the world by
the money that clinked in their pockets
or the bank rolls that come through,
barred windows. They are known by
their knowledge of natures mysteries
close application TO the study of rocks;
and the keen Judgment they nave
shown and which was taken advantage
of by others.
Probably the most prominent of these
men in the Ttntic district are Walter
Marshall Nesbet, pioneer of the camp.
who has helped make more big nine,

Mr.. Nesbet came in by the saddle

after Ed Peck had discovered the
Eureka Hill mine, and the first big
mine of the district. Mr. Nesbet was

was soon on a paying basis and has
