Phalen recently made mado madea a report to o the United States geological Ecological survey sur of or which the following tollo H is II an extract The most Important deposits near Marysvale ale are arc those on the east side of ot the Tushar ran range e. e but hut an Interesting Opposition on the time west side of or the range In the Newton mining district about nine vino miles northeast o of Beaver er City was mentioned In 1913 The deposits on both sides o of the range were visited and studied by G F.
