Show MANY opportunities OFFERED of the many opportunities offered in utah in the way of mining a the mining review takes pleasure in calling attention to one feature of the industry which should commend itself to those seeking investment in in mining enterprises either in the way of stock purchases or in the securing of a producing mine or of a prospect pure and in some of our western states but one mining camp and this usually catalogued cataloguer catalo gued as a heavy producer of the precious metals is all that that section can boast of and the mines of such a camp are generally owned by a few large corporations the result being that limited opportunities are offered for investment for the person of slender capital neither can properties for development be secured anywhere near the main producing belt in utah the case is different and the mining man the capitalist the investor and the prospector has within the environments of the state over a hundred camps within the boundaries of which he will have no difficulty in securing valuable and promising ground salt lake is particularly fortunate in the fact that it is virtually surrounded by mining camps of note and merit many of which are famous the world over for their marvelous productiveness and the character of the output of these districts are as varied and diversified as they are numerous so that the tendencies of every operator may be satisfied whether his desire should be for the possession of a gold proposition a combination of silver lead ores gold silver and lead combined or a straight out copper producer and all of these districts are easily accessible some af them being bein almost liin a 4 stones throw of metropolis and almost in the shadow of maroni for instance to the east of us within a few miles ride is park city whose mines of silver and silver lead ores are marvels from a metallurgical standpoint stand point and whose many producers have made many fortunes for the investor and which have raised men from poverty to wealth and opulence nearer still to the west is the old reliable camp of bingham a section that has been mined for thirty years that has produced many millions that is rich in its it s deposits of gold silver lead and copper and which still is in its infancy as far as mining is concerned and which just now is attracting worldwide world wide attention because of its immense zones of copper ore which with more extensive development promises to become a formidable rival of butte in the production of the red metal still further west we have mercur the great cyaniding cyan iding gold camp which in its general characteristics more generally resembles the wonderful gold fields of south africa than any other section in the known world while still further west is located tintic gintic district with more producing mines and promising prospects to its credit than almost any other section of equal area in this intermountain inter mountain country while the mines of this district are prolific in the production of all of the precious metals then too almost in the same range range 1 behave we have stockton and ophir old districts of excellent repute which have made many fortunes in the past and which although ancient camps give promise of more than duplicating their past enviable records in the production of gold silver and lead the southern portion of utah is not wanting in opportunities in the mining line frisco for years has poured her metallic treasures into the avenues of trade trade and commerce and the vast copper deposits of that section are now as a lodestone to those seeking profitable investments in properties productive of the metal that is now in such urgent demand in manufacturing and commercial centers to the south of frisco we find stateline Stat eline a camp located on a great porphyry belt carrying with it numerous strong fissure veins rich in their gold contents across the range from stateline Stat eline to the east is gold mountain district a gold camp of more than ordinary promise and in the development of which heavy capital is now employed of this southern country we must necessarily speak in general terms the most prominent camps having been alluded to but there are portions of this region which are deserving of more extended mention such as marysvale Marys vale with its mines of gold silver and copper ore silver reef the great sandstone camp and the country around st george so 80 rich in its depositions of copper while here and there in canyons and mountain sides t there ere are prospects which would appeal strongly to capitalists to the mining man were they nearer railroad facilities or were their existence more generally known in the southeastern portion of the state ere ta il afe and profitable incest ment for successful mining operations which will yet become famous in mining haunts and in the ranks of those who have faith in the legitimacy of the mining industry we re fer to the la sal mountains in grand county in the recesses of which dame nature has ha been prod ical in her deposits of gold and cop per ores nearer at home again we have alta american fork canyon carbonate hill in morgan county willard hill and the mountains around ogden la plata and the new gold fields of park valley in box elder county while a passing notice in all just justice ice should be given to the deep creek country a region embracing many districts of merit and promise and a section possessing such possibilities in the mineral way that one would scarce believe half of what is told concerning them we have not made mention of what utah offers in the min mining ing way of the fortunes that can be made here in the mining industry of the various roads which lead to wealth within the
