There is a good source of water about two miles up in the canyon. There is some molybdenum ore and low grade uranium ore in this area. Simpson Mountain is spotted with mines, mostly idle due to poor transportation and scarce water. The estimated mining I value of Simpson Mountain, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1944, is $20 million. SMELTER CANYON is about 25 miles of Dugway Proving Cround in the Dugway Mountains. It can be reached by trail from Dugway or by a road which turns off the Vemon-Calla- o road on the eastern side of the Dugway mountains. This canyon owes its name to an old lead smelter that functioned there from 1849 until 1879. The raw lead was shipped via wagon and horseback to Great Salt Lake, then by boat to Ogden, and horn there by train to New York City.

CUP BUTTE is 25 miles southeast of Dugway near the Vemon-Calla- o point where the Road crosses the Old River Bed. Wild animals abound in this area near a spring. This very interesting geologic formation presents a depression near the top of a 200-fobutte that collects water during the spring and summer. Pronghorn antelope and other wild animals get drinking water at this spot. The Old River Bed originates on Dugway Proving Cround about three miles south of Camel Back Mountain, and extends southward past Keg Mountain. This river bed was created by the underwater flow channel of a prehistoric river during the period of Lake Bonneville. The banks are' about 80 feet deep and a half-mil- e wide.
