Show MINERAL WEALTH OF COUNTY it is not generally known but still it is an undisputed fact that beaver county embraces more mining districts of note and renown within its environments than is the case with any other section of the state with the possible exception of tooele thoele in the early days of mining in the then territory of utah beaver county was all the rage with mining operators investors and capitalists and the mines of this locality produced many millions of which hardly any record now exists and more than one mining king owed his successes in the mining way and his rapidly accumulated wealth to the marvelous and truly wonderful mineral resources of the numerous districts with which the county is dotted throughout its length and breadth for so small a county beaver has a splendid array of mining camps calling them over hastily we can think of ten of them at least that have produced their thousands and ten thousands and some of them many millions taking them alphabetically they are beaver beaver lake bradshaw lincoln newton north star rocky san P francisco ran cisco and star all of the precious and baser metals can be found in any one or all allot of them in lincoln the old lincoln mine produced lead of so pure a quality that the pioneers of the county often melted the ore ore into bullets Taul lets to be used in their warfare with the indians in san francisco at the horn sil ver mine the ore was of such a perfect chlo ride that in its crude state it could be whittled with a knife and it mus must t be remembered it was the horn silver mine that really built the railroad from this city south to frisco many of these old districts cluster around milford and are but a few miles drive from this bir big distributing point north star district is is fairly in sight and the old mining camp of star can be plainly seen from tb the e bluff back of the town in north star there which have enriched are many old producers their owners in the past and which are still only partially scratched in their operation equally as near is the rocky district with its montreal copper ranch and old hickory mines all productive of copper in large quantities and of high grade but nonpaying non paying until recent years owing to the limited demand for the red metal but little f urther further on is beal bea ver lake district with almost innumerable mines ond prospects showing copper ores together geth er with silver and lead properties prominent amono among the former being e the 0 act K which has created such a sensation in mining 0 circles of late because of its heavy shipments of ore going broino 1 t 40 per cent and more in copper with a goodly byproduct by product of gold in district west of frisco a number of rich gold silver and lead mines were worked years ago a smelter across the wah wah valley being az in operation at one time on ores from district the magnificent deposit of copper ores oreb in copper gulch being practically valueless at that time although C this section at the present is ripe with promise that at no distant day it will give to the west the greatest copper mines that this intermountain region has ever known of bradshaw district has been prolific in its production of the precious star district has had its excitements excite ments its smelters shelters sm elters and its great producers and evidently is good for many years to come while in newton district east of beaver city many deposits of gold bearing ore have been found of late years which give excellent promise for the future nearly every district in beaver county is easily accessible with railroad advantages near at hand and with communication with the outside world made easy by telegraph and telephone in its various camps rich mines have been found and worked and yet in all probability new producers will yet et be found which will prove to be the rival or peer of the horn silver even as the silver kino king 0 or the quincy of park city promise in the near future to eclipse the great record made in the past by the grand ontario alone by itself beaver county presents attractions in the mining way that cannot be surpassed by any other locality in our fair state and the mining review is sincere in the belief that in due time this long neglected region will rank as one of tb the e greatest wealth producing sections of the wea west |
