Special { o News and Tribune
BEAVER, Utah, June 16.-"I am
impressed with the possibilities of the
Newton district to a remarkable de-
gree, and particularly with the show
ing made in the Sheep Rock mine"
said Lewis Mccormick of Salt Lake
during his recent visit of inspection
here. 81 do not profess to be a min
ing engineer or expert, but from
what / have seer it would not appear
at all unlikely that there will be some
rich high grade strikes made in the
them"
Accompanied by A. B. Lewis, or
ganizer and president of the new
Beaver Gold Mines corporation, a
$3,500,00O company which has taken
over. the Sheep Rock mine and $500
acres of ground along the known ore
zone of the Newton district, Mr.. Nc
| Cornick, who is treasurer of the
company, visited the Sheep Rock
mine and mill. Although familiar
with the district through reports of
engineers, it was Mr.. McCornick's
fields, and hat he wen away much
impressed augurs well for the future
interest that will be taken in Beaver
development by Salt Lake capitalists.
1.-The company is fairly launched
said President Lewis" and our plans
| ra rou, hofn~ laid fop on nvfnnciuo
campaign of development. Although
| the work already done in the Sheep
Rock has blocked out several thou
sand IONS Of profitable milling ore,
we expect to prosecute the work
much further in that property as a
preliminary to the construction of a
large stamp mill. This work will be
| carried on in conjunction with pros
pecting over a large area of the
claims acquired by the company
| which will also have it's bearing in
| relation to the selection of the mill
site. Fifty men will be put to work
in the Sheep Rock almost immediate
ly and a crew of twenty-five men will
do the field prospecting. 1t is plan
| ned to sink a series of holes along
the outcrop of the quartz veins that
are known to extend over a dis.
lance of ten miles from Wild Cat
creek south to and beyond the Sheep
Rock. This work will be prosecuted
! with vigor throughout the summer
and by fall we expect to have definite
announcements to make regarding
the size and location of the new
| MILL"
Through his active development of
the Sheep Rock mine during the last
two or three years and his knowl-
edge of what has been done in the
surrounding territory, the following
statement of Manager A. B. Blainey
is of interest as Slowing the big pos
sibilities of the new district.
Expects Big Tonnage
Under the development now plan
ned by the Beaver Gold Mines cor
%poration, | expect and have assured
the officers of the company that l
shall have a tonnage of 5000 a day
ready for the mill before the end of
the present year The greater pOr-
ton of this will, of course, come
from the Sheep Rock, but l have so
much faith in the new ground taken
by the company that | am confident
a considerable tonnage will be avail
able from several claims where the
o%utcroppings are distinct and we'll de-
fined and where the surface indica-
tons are every bit as good rs those
found on the main property"
During the visit of the company
officials some wonderful paintings
were taken on the Sheep Rock. Mr..
Mccormick PANIED gold from some of
the richer streaks that goes better
than $4,000 to the ton, and was
shown a drift at the 16O-fOOt level,
500 feet long, that exposes a ten
| foot vein where the values average
$11 to the ton. Specimens were
| picked up along the surface that
showed plenty of free gold without
the aid of a glass.
