pany has been incorporated about
year, but the ground has been owned by
The incorporators for long time and
great deal of work had been done be-
lore the Incorporation. The company
owns II claims. eight in the Clifton
district and six in the Willow Springs
district. The group in the Willow
Springs district is on the great belt
of dolomte limestone that has been
the recognized mineral belt in that part
Of the range. The surface ores have
been opened in a number of places. but
a tunnel Is now being driven that Will
open the veins at greater depth. The
ores so far developed are lead, silver
and copper. The property has water on
the ground and considerable timber,
In the Clifton district the company
has five claims that join the Lucy l.
and Bonncmort properties that have
the earmarks of making a big nine
There is large porphyry dixie running
for 5000 feet through the property that
shows heavy naturalization for It's fun

dixie is gold silver, lead and copper

lies directly south of and joins the Lucy
l.. ground. Considerable development
work has been performed with excellent
results. A fine vein of lead ore has been
developed sufficiently to show con-
cluSlvely that the property IS one of
merit. At another point in the prop
erty there is a splendid showing of rich
copper ore: and on still another vein
there is found very rich gold ore as
sociated with copper, The formation Is
the same as upon the Lucy l.. ground,
with the exception of the rhyolite dixie.
The same company also owns a group
OF claims in the Willow Springs dis
trict which Joins the Clifton district on
the south. The ores are lead, silver and
copper, and are located on the great
mineral belt that has made that sec
| tion OF the Deep Creek range conspicu-
| Gus for a number of years for its pro-
| duction of high grade silvcr-lead and
copper ores. Tho company also owns n
| group of claims in the Trout Creek dis
| trict that is very promising. The ores
are lead-silver and gold n large
| amount OF work has been done upon
this ground and some large ore bodies
are exposed.
CLIFTON COPPER BELT.
| The Clifton Copper Beyt Mining
| company property is about one mile
south of the Lucy l.. ground In the
| same mineral zone. The formation is
| mostly granite with some lime. but
the veins are all In the granite. Several
porphyry dikes are prominent on the
| property The granite outcrop at this
point Is about three quarters of a mile
| wide. fianked on the east and west
| by limestone The vein SySem con-
sists of several large veins running
| northerly and southcrly and another
| system of cross veins running caster
| ly and westerly that extend from the
lime-granlte contact on the east to the
contact on the west side OF the mineral
belt Most of the veins have a quartz
gangue. and the metals contained arc
lead. silver, copper gold, tin, nickel
and molbdenum. The copper veins arc
| the ones that have received the most
attention and some of the finest ore
ever discovered In tho district is upon
the dumps of the Copper Belt prop
crty and the other groups of claims In
| that immediate locality. The Copper
Belt property Is the one that has been
most extensively developed, the great
est depth obtained being about 160
| feet. Several other shafts have been
sunk upon different veins and
Wherever there has been any develop
ment ore of a very fine quality has
been opened up,
MOLYBDENUM.
The Copper Belt has in Its own terri
tory all the minerals previously spoken
of as existing in that part of tho belt
and is the only property in Deep
Creek that Is known to have molyb-
dcnum. There Is a large amount OF
ore on the dumps and exposed in tho
mine. What is said of the general con-
