Show A Rich Mine. The Alexatuler lias Dovel-oped Dovel-oped Very Itich Or. Prominent Salt Lakers Here Concerning 31ining Properties Located i Miles Westof Kpliraiin. "It runs 91302. in silver" was the answer made to a Register man by S. R. Marks, of Salt Lake.on Tuesday Tues-day evening The above has reference refer-ence to the last assay made from the Alexander Mine, which is located in Cleveland district, not more than five miles from Ephrairn. It has been known for some time that considerable mineral must be locked up in the embrace of those hills in fact parties from Ephraim last year discovered rock that assayed from $300 to $500 in silver. Further, the country has been worked in days gone by as is indicat ed by an old dri:l that was found the e to years ago, and in later times a wheel which had no doubt been used in running some kind of mining min-ing works. Mr. Marks was one of a party of three Messrs. Oliver Hodgson, F. G. M. Smith and himself, and is interested in-terested in the Marker Claim Adjoining Ad-joining the Alexantler, and is here to look after his in'.erest. Messrs. S. A. Kenner, editor of the Democrat and A. H. Cannon of the Juvenile, officers of the Alexander Mining company were brought here by the rich strike. There is no doubt but men will be put on both mines immediately and a good, live mining camp will be at our doors before we know it. The road from hete across the Sanpitch should be fixed immediately immediate-ly so that Ephraim will be ready to take advantage of the first develope-ments. develope-ments. Mr. S. R. Marks and a party went north this morning, and reported everything favorably at the mines The Alexander will have a good force of men put to work immediately immediat-ely and Mr. Mars said they would put a force to work on their claim, adjoining in a short time. There is a mistaken idea out that we wish to correct right now, that it is impossible to get from Ephraim to those mines. This is erronious as there is a road made there already, al-ready, there will be a good road made this summer. |
