MUCH ACTIVITY IN
GRAND COUNTY
Salt LakerS Inspect Gold Prop
critics in Miners Basin
Country.

There never was a time in the history
OF the Miners basin when the indica-
tions were better for the development
OF paying mines in Grand county. The
Times editor made a trip TO the basin
the first of the week and found every
man in camp at work on the properties
Furthermore, had there been more
miners they could have found ready
employment, says the Grand Valley
Times.
Very little OF the work that is being
done is annual assessments. The pros
poets are being developed and the
owners OF the claims are paying their
good money TO have IL done. The
miners say that this is a splendid IN
dicatiOn that the owners have strong
faith in their properties II would
seem 10 be.
II is expected that work will con-
tinue alb winter on many of the claims
y number OF options have been taken
and by their terms much development
will be accomplished.
Byron Davis and Robert Bryant have
run Is feet on the Tornado property
during the present season. The last
half of this distance has been in good
low grade ore. The value Of the ore
is increasing as they proceed with the
work and they expect 10 strike rich
rock in paying quantities within the
next so feet. The Tornado is one or
the properties that will be worked all
winter.

the High ore and has been working
from two 10 three men all summer.

runs SIS in gold and the same value IN
copper.
The company represented by Sam Nc
Graw has done about 100 feet of work
and will let a contract for 100 feet
more within a few days.
A. c. Fay and Harry Turner have

from the property and If these average
$3.50 they want the claims. Schuman
figures that his property is worth 500
600. Messrs. Kittner and Frenzel have
made him an offer on it, conditioned
that IL runs what II should, that he
considers equivalent TO that amount
The deal agreed on, among other things.
