Show tile the mines miles and their Dev elopement developement while we dc depice ate the idea that our paper should be regarded as peculiarly the organ of mining joining interests in this territory its main object t bei being that of fostering the already existing union sentiment of the people and furnishing a medium of free communication with tho the public such as should always be found in every neighborhood in america and in which this community has hitherto been wretchedly deficient we should be recreant to our trust and omit one of the prime duties of 0 such organ did we fail to give the public from time to time an idea of what is going on amongst them in the discovery and developed ment of mineral wealth the facts in regard to which might otherwise reach it in a distorted garbled or exaggerated form what we say then in regard to the mines minea here we say on authority and stand at any time prepared to e letter for letter and syllable for syllable the full truth of each and every representation now hitherto or hereafter while we control it made or to be made in the columns of our paper having heretofore spoken of the mines in the west mountain district proper and of the wahsatch Wah Wali satch we confine ourselves in this article to some few facts in regard to the mines lately discovered in rush valley which are all as asis is we well 11 known here lead and silver combined the former larkely largely preponderating more than thirty distinct and well defined ledges have been discovered taken up companies formed assays essays made and claims recorded and still it may be said speaking within bounds that the silver region of that district has as yet not been half prospected it is our own opinion and that of all men practically acquainted with mining matters and who have seen the country with nith whom we have conversed that this the rush valley district is by all the richest mining country in the world and in sa saving ing so we fully be believe that we speak the words of truth and soberness the of the mcie rock from each of these located claims have shown aiom 80 to per ton of silver and an amount of lead sufficient at the prices which men of beani olter offer to gyo avo for it on the ground to pay all the expenses of working thus leaving the yield of sil er pure gain to the companies working vor king the mines these essays assays have been mide made by competent hands well skilled theoretically in the art and whose theoretical know ledge has been brought to the test by practical work in california and nevada since 1819 1849 and they are to be fully relied apon as exhibiting accurately the mineral contained in the specimens presented for assay now it is well known to all who are in the least conversant with the history and nature of silver mines that the outcrop is universally inferior to the rock of the same ledge deeper in the earth and inasmuch as the assays essays made are arc in themselves sufficient to stamp the value of these mines as fully equal to the best heretofore discovered and worked in neva nevada da while m hile tho the extent of the country covered with mich ledges is much greater than has ever heretofore been known wo we deem ourselves fully authorized to state that nowhere under the sun are arc there such openings for untold wealth as will entire to those who will with capital stif sufficient ficie nt and knowledge adequate to to the task proceed to the forkim working of the nines mines of rush valley even now a quartz mill and several furnaces are going up work vork is going on in all or nearly all the claims and it is not only confidently expected but is absolutely certain that within 0 a year these mines will be producing wealth beyond the dreams of avarice but these ledges have been nearly all discovered by members of the california volunteers men who are not generally in a position either cither by means or from the exigencies of their position as soldiers to devote either money or time to their development and this fact might for or a time retard the full development of this abundant wealth it is in this view that we call cal tho the attention of capitalists east cast and west section of ef country a region re g on in which the returns 46 upon aull ay will bo ati eutuk nhi where everything in ia the way of prospecting pros pectin is is and discovery discover assay and initiatory I 1 already done to liand band the tho untold wealth of which is no dream but a stern astern reality and where let it be said en passant for mining purposes poor men are not wanted there being already enough and to spare among the inhabitants but where capital will find such a speedy reward for its energetic empl employment aymen t as in will ill shame fiction a territory which seems seem q to have hitherto been purposely withheld from the knowledge of the the speculator and the eye of cupidity until the exigencies of our country demanded a vast increase to the wealth we ne have expended so lavishly in putting down thi this 9 unholy rebellion and in maintaining the supremacy of our constitution and laws rush valley where these mines minea are located lies west and south of great salt lale lake city and is at its nearest point thirty five miles from the city the overland mail stage runs through the southern portion of the valley and it will thus be seen that the wealth of this thia region is easily ascertained by such as wish to employ capital in this way it is no distant caribou or semi inaccessible kootenay but here on the direct route of travel and open to the inspect inspection iun of all who wish to be informed as to the facts connected with its discovery and prospects |
