| Show DfEpCREfKS GREAT MINtS Mountains of Mineral That Will Make This Section Famous I the Future The Deep Creek country covers a vast area or terior on the western her des oC Utah coverIng portions of Tooele Juab and Millard counties and extending on Into Nevada It Is a thoroughly mineralized section Its ledGes of ore are Immense In some cases Cabulousb large but being is lated a It Is beyond the Great Sat Lake desert without the advantages ot railroad facilities its development has been retarded and Wfeh arU bekn i held in abeyance until the futurO i when the present disadvantages are I overcome Deep Creek Is a lowgde camp and until capital becomes interested In the distrIct by the building of a line of railroad into it very little can be done In the way of movement or ores tG the market The expense or hauling the ore by teams with few exceptions Is too get to male i profitable But Deep Creek will be a geat camp sooner soon-er or later Few people realize its importance im-portance or have any conception of Its great bodIes of gold silver lead copper cop-per and Iron ore which are the pre dominating metals Whenever transportation trans-portation facilities are afforded the district dis-trict therejseems little doubt that the mine oC tHat section trill make a r ord of production that will be simply astonishing Attempts have been mae to Interest capital In the construction of a railroad rail-road A line was projected several years ago but the promoter of the enterprise werB unable to carr out the project and the movement collapsed 11 the meantime owner of property there have worked their claims they have uncovered great bodies of ore and are now offering to enter Into traffic agreements with any corporation which will build a railroad Into the country guaranteeing to furnish no less than 300 ton or ore per day the very moment the line Is completed The Cost or constructing the road It Is figured fig-ured would be comparatively small while the tonnage assured In the traffic traf-fic of ore alone would make the rod a splendid payIng proposition from the start The railroad project Is being revived and It is not at all Improbable that before another year rolls around the rad will be under construction and the mining districts known a Dug way Fish Springs White Cloud Glen coc Warm Springs KInley Willow Springs Clift9n Spring Creek and say oral otherfniomprising what is commonly com-monly knoiFfleas the Deep Creek country coun-try will enter a prosperous era and the hills will be awakened by the clang of hoisting works and the rattle of ponderous machineT In the mills that would certainly then come into existence exIsteceT UTAH M A record of 160 In dividends has been made by the Utah mIne at Fish Springs in the past nine years The l lshper ynlnali rrc I rich ores of this property are very hence It has been made possible to give to shareholders that amount of profits although the ore was hauled by teams I 5ventfve miles to the railroad at Oasis for shipment to Salt Lake n distance dis-tance ot 159 miles One dividend of 200 was paId during the year 189 and that was distributed on the 24h or January DurIng the Januar year may improvements have been made at the mine InvolvIng an expenditure of about 1500 which has been put Into new machinery and equipment and in doing exploration work A new shaft has been put down to a depth of 400 feet and will be carried to the 500 level when the man ore body will be intercepted inter-cepted The mine will then be worked through the new shaft which will ma telal lessen the cst of moving the ores to the surface The old shaft through which the property has been orked heretofore and which is down to a depth ot 500 feet will be abandoned The shipments of ore the pt year aggregated 280 ton averaging In values about 50 percent cent lead and 125 ounces silver A force ot about twenty men Is employed at the mine the year round while teams are kept on the road to haul out ore and go back with supplies The mine Is owned by Salt Lake parties Ver little stock is said to be held outside out-side the state stte THE GALENA MINE This property Is also located at FIsh SprIngs and like the Utah Is a dlI dead payer but it has been nearly two l u years sInce snarenomers were ne recipients re-cipients of a distribution I has paid In dIvidends all told over S71Oo Since the last distribution the company has carrIed on a large amount oC exploration ton work and the assertion Is mae by officials or the corporation that conditions con-ditions will be ripe for the resumption of dividends again In 1900 During the pat yertr the mine has reported In the market with ore but the proceeds have gone Into further developments and Improvements Assays taken show the ore to go from 42 to 58 per cent lead and 75 to 180 ounces silver wIth some gold CLIFTON DISTRICT Clifton a little town twelve miles northeast of Ibapah the Dee Creek postomce Is In the heart of Clifton

and on the east by the d 8ert It is all in Tooele county Well known men who bare been identIfied with the section are James Lrman ot Chlcago James Ber ot New York John W Harker or St Louis and J F Wodman of Slt Lake City but generally speaking those who have operated there may be divided into two classeepbor men who have barely managed to hold their cams by surface scratching assessment work and those Onho were able to patent their gun then allowing it to lie Idle awaiting the advent ot a railroad This coupled with the distance from I a market Is responsible for the slow growth of Clifton

Mujjemuhradoo which translated is Three Devs They tower far above even all the oter sublime heights of the majestic chain of mountains tend log north and south Each is flanked on either side by a deep gorge in the bottom of which roars a rivulet the year round These three mountains are in the center of the Spring Creek mining district irs Utah The Queen of Sheba and Jumbo among the best known mines in Deep Creek are located here They are owned by the Jessie Weimer Mining company of Salt Lake Most of the operations in the Jumbo have beea confined con-fined to shallow shafts and short in dines and tunnels about the surface Near the Queen of Sheba ar some promising prospects owned by M Mer nil and W P RIchards of Salt Lake |
