Deer Creek Mines
To Be Opened Up
Prominent Mining Man Says u Rail.
road May BE Built 10
Deer Greek.

As stated in our last issue, Claud
Barnes, representing the owners of
some valuable Deer Creek property,
accompanied by J. h. Teeter, prom
inent mining expert, went up last week
20 examine what is locally known as
the Stewart mine just southwest of
silver Lake Flat.
While not announcing his conclu-
sions so far as the technical ques-
lions upon which he was asked to
pass are concerned, Mr.. j. IL. Teeteh,
who returned "A few days ago from an
extended examination of the Stewart
property was willing to say that he
saw opportunity for development by
the application OF scientic methods.
The holdings consist of nine claims,
now owned by Mrs. NJ. j. Stewart of
Salt Lake. The acquisition of other
contiguous ground and the organiza-
ton of company for development
upon an extensive scale are contem-
plated II pending negotiations are con-
summated.
Mr. Teeter, who has had much ex-
perience in mining both In Alaska and
the intermountain region, said that
while 1t was apparent that the devel-
opment work had been done from the
wrong side, IL was evident that the
ore In sight justified development. He
sampled veins that ran from thirty
TO seventy ounces silver, 40 to 72 per
cent lead and 81 to IS gold.
Should the expectations of the men
behind the negotiations be realized,
the building of railroad from Amer
lean Fork to Deer Creek will probably
follow without delay.
John McTague and others this week
took up the big fifty horsepower boiler
for the Miller leasers on the Pacific
| mine. This company now has all Of
its machinery up to the mine, and In
the near future will have II all set
up and the hurley drills and power
pupm at work. Mining men are watch
ing with deep interest the work of the
Pacific leasers. who seem determined
TO find out whether this property has
the making of q mine.
Ken Kyes, the Salt Lake City rail-
road man, with some of his associates,
paid another visit to the canyon this
week and returned bubbling over with
enthusiasm over the result of the de-
velopment going on in the Bay State
mine, Mr.. Kyes owns adjoining prop
erty and is preparing to spend consid-
cradle money there this summer.
There has been number of other
investigating parties in the canyon this
week, and the outlook for big develop
ments grows with each week

stacked in the Tabernacle building
and will be put in place at an early
date. 1t has not yet been determined
whether they will be put in under
contract or whether tn work will be
done by days work. The building
committee favors letting the job out
to the lowest competent bidder. 1t

New Innovation In
Trials In Liquor Gases
Lawrence Johnson, Member Of Granite
Club, Convicted OF Selling Liquor
Illegally--Scores of Leading Ladies
Present AT the Trial.

Lawr@lce Johnson OF Lehi was tried
aud convicted in Judge Nelson's court
Tuesday for selling intoxicating liquor
unlnwfully. He appeared Thursday
for sentence and was fined $3.50 or
$50 days in the city Jail 1t is not
yet known whether he will appeal to
the district court. but as Judge Nor
gan has penchant for afnxing a Jail
sentence in addition to heavy fines for
liquor offenders, it is probable that
Johnson may let we'll enough alone.
Never In the history of the local
Justices court did so many people turn
out to trial. Over $50 people crowd
ed the city hall to witness the pro-
ceedings, and over so per cent of them
were leading ladies of the city. II is
evident that the peopl OF the city are
becoming aroused because of the nu-
merous attractions of the prohibition
law, and the many verdicts of mot
guilty" given in the past. II is likely
that the presence of so many leading
citizens will help to show the officials
and juries that the town means that
the liquor laws shall be obeyed
The jury consisted of Simeon Thorn
ton. f. l.. Hickman, c. w. Whitaker
and James Martin. Judge Whitecot-
ton of Provo handled the case for the
city and Attorney Snyder of Snyder
4 Snyder of Salt Lake looked after
the interests of the defense There
was a little conflict In the testimony
of the two Salt Lake detectives as to
which paid for the whisky secured, but
otherwise their testimony was pretty
straight. and the jury was out but a
few minutes before arriving at YER
diet Of guilty
The city officials concede that they
would have preferred getting the Of
fcials OF the Granite Club, where the
liquor was sold, but they express an
opinion that the clubs treasury will
probably pay Johnson's expenses and
liquidate his fine. Johnson, who was
simply club member, shows a dis
position to let some one else be the
good fellow next time, else the Judge
would have added Jail sentence to
his fine.
The attendance of the fairer sex In
such large numbers at liquor trial
Is a decided innovation here. The la
dies enjoyed the proceedings SO wei
that they dclare an intneion of attend.
ing future trials. Many who were moi
there express an Intention of accom-.
panying their sisters to the next one
and II looks now that future trials
would have to be held In larger
building. II all the ladies are given
seats.
