Mining Activities
Commence In Canyon
Wild and NadIcy Strikes Increasing
With Development ClcghOrn
aud Tyler Resume
Operations.

Mining news received this week
from the canyon indicates that the
best year I'm it's recent history is about
to open up. Most of the old properties
are preparing TO resume operations
and several new ones will be brought
into life The season seems to be
opening several weeks earlier than
usual Already the road Is open to
the Dutchman mine and preparations
are being made to commence ship
ments at an early date.
The good news was sent over the
telephone that the Wild Bros lease, on
the Dutchman mine was developing
most satisfactorily and that the min
ers were sacking from 30 to 80 sacks
of high grade rock per day lndca-
lions are that the boys will develop
an ore shute equal In extent and rich
ness to the one opened last year di-
rectly above the present one. The
only misgiying that they have as TO its
permanency is that II is lying almost
Hat, but they philosophically that il
Hat or perpendicular so long as the
body holds out. Mr. Wild teIephoned
for a new supply of sacks.
The Wadey brothers strike is still
holding out and the certainty of IL
being big one is gradually growing
with development Already II is six
or seven sets wide and one and a half
every shift $4,000 worth of SIS
lead carbonate ore can be put In
rather small space. 1t now begins
to look like the Wadleys would lead
the procession this summer in help
Ing to bring the canyon into the lime
light the coming summer.
John Cleghorn, the vetern canyon
operator, was In town this week maxi
ing preparations to resume work on
the Bellerophon and Globe mining
companies which will be developed
the coming summer under his man
agenent Mr.. Cleghorn went up TO
the Ii. 'es yesterday. He will put on
two 81. s on the Globe property for
the pres 7, but later twill also de-
velop the Belerphon. He spent much of
the past summer making several ship
ments OF rich float, and endeavoring
to locate the vein, Just before the
season closed he accomplished the lat
ter object and has great confidence
that In short time the Yankee and
GioDe VIII both be steady shippers
The snow is yet so deep around Mr..
Cleghorns cabin that he will have to
tunnel through a snow bank to get
In It,
A company of three mining en-
gineers spent Sunday and Monday up
the canyon making an examination
OF the Pacific mine for company of
mining men who contemplate taking
a bond or lease on IT,. Their report
has not yet been made known.
George Tyler returned from Salt /
Lake City this week and informs the
writer that more interest in American
Fork is being manifested than In any |
other district In the state He says
that there are some most important
developments soon to be made In which |
VIII mean great activity in the canyon
Mr Tyler has a lease on that part |
OF the Miller hill on which Ia located J
the Alice tunnel, die will put force |
OF men to work within the next few |
days to extend the face of the tunnel |
and hopes to cross cut the Pacific
Dutchmen vein soon.The Alice is on
some very likely looking ground, mid
way between the Pacific and Dutch
man, and knowing ones predict that
pay ore will be coming out of it's
portals the coming summer.
The canyon roads, while not in any
worse condition than they usually |
are after the close of winter need some
work done on them and the county
should get busy so that ore hauling
