MARYSVALE. Utah, Jan. 29.-Marys-
vale is today the only uneXploited min
ing district In Utah that has every geo
logical asset necessary for great
camp And It is believed by those who
have watched the trend of mining in
this state during the last two or three
years. that new camps must be opened
Ii Utah is to maintain her prestige OF
being one Of the great mineral regions
OF this western land
In the last eight years Utah money
has been flowing in a steady stream
into Nevada prospects to the neglect
OF Utahs magnificent mineral resources,
Investors in mining are no, unlike others
and with what profit 20 themselves each
moonbeam chaser must be the judge.
But the expensive hysteria is abou, over.

As an Illustration OF the latent min
eral possibilities Of Marysvale, a hither-
10 almost unnoticed section is worthy OF
more than a passing notice.
Some eight miles southwesterly from
the Denver & Rio Grande station is a
mountain SPUR that Is about 1900 feet in
altitude. The east end abuts on the
valley. and Is marked by a lofty and
stupendous SEWER fault The spur. or
ridge. is bounded on the north and south
by deep-cut canyons. and Is unique in
lis Isolation, as well as in its geological
history, which will be interesting TO min
ing men. The locality is locally known
As Gold Hill.
The spur was once a part OF the Deer
Trail contact-bcdded quartzite and lime
stone. and crossed at the north end by
porphyry dyke. Contemporary with the
occurrence OF the Sewer fault the crust
was faulted along line now known as
cottonwood canyon. Some two miles fur
iher 10 the south another fault, now
known as Gold Run, was formed and par
