| Show MINES OF BOX ELDER I I Rich Veins Being Worked Wor edWith With Wit h Success But Without Un Undue Undue Undue due Demonstration But few persons are aware of the th e extensive exten lve field that exists in this coun cOlln county ty for the prospector and investor inventor in ter The Th e county is very large larse and marked by several everal mountain ranges some Mme of which rise rl e to an altitude of 11 feet or more In all of these ores of gold silver allver lead copper iron antimony and nickel have ave been towed found South So th of of Ta Tacoma coma OID there are ace copper mines at Buel Bueland Bueland and Del Silver SlIver Lane also veins of high grade e silver sliver ores and some gold The Th e copper mines have been worked quite quit e extensively for the past fear fo r years s and very large tonnage of ore exposed but from some cause known only to th the e owners no ore is being shipped a at t present although some work is done don e there Around Pilot neck neak there are a number of very rich veins of silver aUver ore are which although narrow would pay very well if worked The dry barren surroundings there prevent poor po or men from doing anything with these spines mines of silver and as u yet rich men have not been induced to go there W When hen they do many fortunes await the workers There is s not net in Utah a amore amore more interesting l region from the standpoint st of miners than that which lies from North Ogden canyon to Five Mile creek north of Willard The mountains here are mostly high and rough but there is found a system of veins which as far as worked upon haved hayed proved exceedingly rich in gold silver sli ver lead and copper and a quantity of iron appears surpassed only by oy that of Iron county That part of this area known as Sierra Madre mountain was wan wa pretty well written up In is the New Years edi tion of 1901 Since that time Ume the El I dorado which is the chief ore producer I has ha made development work driving a drain ventilating and developing tun ten tunnel I eel nel lel for a distance of 00 feet The end of if this tunnel tunel cut the Eldorado vein tOO 00 feet beyond Its outcrop and at this point the vein ven has a width of over feet showing from wall to wall a concentrating ore carrying well In n gold silver r and lead During the year 1101 the initial shipments of ot ore were made from this thin mine the results showed a profit but he the th e losses loe e from an over amount of sit ca compelled the owner to for fo r concentration of all aU the ores 0 taken take n from the mine During the tile year 1901 1101 1 work of or development went on OR and is iset I s yet et being continued and anc the year 1902 1102 1 will see nee the work of building a con concentrator ce completed
