Morgan Crescent New Tune
on Eve of Breaking Into
Ore Body.

Morgan City. Utah. Nov. 15.-The
MOrgan-Crescent group of mining
claims. located in Morgan county, AT
the present time is attracting more
than ordinary local and eastern atten-
ton by reason OF recent development of
newly discovered conditions. and de-
serves much more than a passing no
tice, inasmuch as its future promises
to be one Of Utah's great producers Of
the -FOUR precious metals. Like a great
majority of the now famous producers
OF the western states, II has had its
ups and downs in prospecting the sur
face for permanent shaft and tunnel
sites. Many hundreds OF dollars have
necessarily been expended in this di-
rection, with the conscientious belief
that today or tomorrow would reward
the searching miners with the discOV-
cry Of the mother lode or an. undOubted
stringer Of ore leading TO IL.
Reward of Energy.
Cash veins and faults have been eX-
plOred and followed 10 their conclu-
sion, but not until recently was the
energetic manager and president OF the
company, George T. StenhOuses and his
superintendent, Adam Peterson, re-
Warded with what now seems 10 be the
goal so earnestly searched for.
Not long ago the long tunnel was
temporarily abandoned for the purpose
of repa iring a part of the air pipe ma
chinery During the DAYS of delay the
superintendent concluded TO make an
opening lower down the mountain slope
in body OF prOtrudlng pOrphyry. \
single DAYS labor a this point revealed
an extra quantity Of quartz pOrphyry,
iron oxide and copper Sulphide, each OF
which holds valuable stations in es-
tablishing permanent mineral deposits
in fissure veins. With each succeeding
new tunnel "A better condition has fol-
lowed. II is now only a matter of a
few days when the long looked for
contact will be reached. The enrich

each shifts labor bears evidence of the
near approach 10 the ore body, l. e.,
the erCOlated pOrphyry and quartz
showing greater quantities OF iron OK
ides. bromide and aZurite.
The country rocks, consisting of car
bOnlfeFOus lime, Shale, slate, quartZlJe,
pOTphyry and occasional dikes OF pono-
lite and sandstone, occupy their alter
nate places from the crest of the range
10 the fOOthin levels. and as a rule
stand upon edge IN rlDDon-hke form,
showing between the various contacts
quartz, clay and tale films, dtScOlOred
by the different decOmpOsed metals
within the mineral zone, which varies
ina width from one 10 three miles as II
passes through the county from north
TO south. Ia places along tbs mineral
zone where gulches and depTessiOns
have been created by the settling of the
earth's surface after volcanic upheaVal,
the discOlOred streaks of mineralized
bikes can be seen at great distances,
presenting 10 the prOspectOr and sight
lover a very beautiful and rare con-
trast-
Resembles Great Flag.
This condition is particularly bril-
liant on the southern end of the Nor
gan Crescent group and reminds the
viewer OF an enormous American flag
stretched from crest to gulch level, and
from east TO west for over Loco feet.
This scene, in a meteorological point
OF view, was very interesting 10 En-
gineer c. r. Bergenzer of Chicago, as
il also was TO Wendell II. SlaytOn, vice
president of the company, James p.
Caulfield, also of Chicago, and J. W.
EmmersOn OF Battle Creek. Mich.
These gentlemen, with the exception of
Mr.. SlaytOn. have returned TO their
homes after a weeks sOjOurn in Nor
gan City and its contiguous mountain
range and prolific agricultural valley.
The Herald Republican will be ad-
vised Of future developments of this
group OF mining claims. as well as OF
Their attractive properties here.
