WAGE CAMP IN i. S.
MarySvale Paying $3.75 for
RouStaboutS = Several
Mines Shipping.

Marysvale is the hlghest-prioed
wage camp in the United States to-
day. Woodchoppers, muckers and
roustabouts even are receiving 1915 a
day, and it is almost impossible TO get
men for that, according 10 G. +. Dali
ton, president OF the Shamrock Geld
Mining & Milling company, who re-
turned yesterday from the Piute coun-
ty gold camp.
Mr.. Dalton brought with him 20
Salt Lake 500 sacks OF ore taken from
the Shamrock's lower tunnel, at the
end OF which is a Winze all in ore.
This ore, IL is estimated, should come
close TO S45 or $50 ton.
Other shippers.
Several other properties in the
Marysvale district are hauling ore to
the depot in preparation for shipment
in the near future. The Glen Erie is
busy piling Up ore for shipment. The
Monroe is getting ready to ship. The
Bully Boy is getting out carload. The
Dewitt leasers are hauling high-grade
TO the Marysvale station, and Will ship
all their ore at the expiration Of their
contract the middle OF the month.
This ore viii run from $500 10 S400 a
ton and better in gold and silver.
The Dewitt lease is working twenty
men: all that can be handled TO ad-
vantage. The greatest depth on the
vein IS thirty-five feet, and the width
OF high-grade is between four and
twelve inches. Between thirty and
forty sacks OF the rich rock are being
knocked down and housed each day.
Some Of the men were seen carrying

Bully Boy and Webster property.
where the Dewitt gold strike was
made recently is an old Cobalt Can
ada, mining man. When the Dewitt
lease expires on November IA it is un-
derstOOd Mr.. Young will go into the
old S00-fOOt tunnel below and begin
the 250 crosscut to catch the Dewitt
vein. This viii give a vertical depth
OF zoo feet. The result of this work
viii be watched with almost breath
less interest by all owners OF adjacent
property. It means everything for the
district. and may prove this one OF the
great gold camps Of the west. The
work will require probably sixty TO
ninety days. and if it is begun at once, |
II should be completed by February l. |
Surveys for the custom mill on Bull |
lion creek have been completed, and
the mill will be constructed as soon as
practicable. This mill will be the best
thing that has come to the camp for
years outside Of the Dewitt gold strike. |
Big Milling Proposition.
Over IN Cottonwood canyon the Log
Cabin mine is one OF the most prom
ising properties in the district. It has
an immense vein of milling ore ex-
posed This viii measure thirty-eight
feet across. Ten feet OF it will run
from S11 10 S12 to the ton. The whole
thirty-eight feet viii average IS. II |
is one Of the biggest milling PROPOSE /
tons in the southern part of the state !
This property also IS under the man
agement Of Mr.. Young and his Phila- |
delphia hackers, who, il is understood, |
are determined TO make a great camp |
of Marysvale. They have already /
spent several hundred thousand dol |
lars on their Utah property, and after |
many discouraging years are just this /
fan coming into their own.
If Marysvale with its present great /
showing were not so close to Salt /
Lake. said Mr.. Dalton, there would /
be such a rush in there that within 1

5000 people. People seem To think it 4
is too close to be good. Some day
they viii wake up and find they have |
missed their opportunity"
