Editor of The Tribune: If any

ours has had any more ups and
downs than this picturesque local.

here is that from the beginning cN-

digging in those places where mineral
is possible we have dug the bottom out
of several hundred "'gashH veins which
are numerous in the oyer1ows Of por-
phyry. But after an energetic and per
sistent effort TO compel nature TO dlg
up that which she didu e have IN the
ovcrtows we are getting down to base
principles, which means the contacts.
In 1865 good values were found in
the contacts here, but thc ore was too
low grade for wagon transportation TO
the Mississippi river, In 1879 the
Deer Trail was discovered, and many
cars of high grade ore We're shipped to
York, in the north side of Juab county.
The Deer Trail was also in a lime and
duartzIte contact. But we didn Z take
the hint. About Gftecn months since,
the Salisbury brothers of Salt Lake re.
sumed work on the old Deer Trail, and
the result is Transformation. From
what can be learned the Deer Trail is
now second TO no nine IN the country
