season this camp has ever seen The Famous Wedge The property tat attracted the most attention the past season by reason ot thealue exposed was the Wedge In cOrortec under the name of The Wedge Gold MinIng Milling company of which George Sutherland is presi iI aenL its pnnclpa place 01 DUSlleS I In Sat Lake City I owns two claims or rate one claim and a fraction About seventy feet east of the dlco cry they cut the vein with a tunnel In which they struck a steak about afoot a-foot wide ot rich ore from which they received assays as high as 30000 They drifted about twentyfe feet on the vein and aco sunk a winze about thhtfve feet exposing this same rich ore above and below At the bottom or the winze It had widened out to nearly three feet The vein Is about ten feet wide where they csed I which was about sixty feet from the mouth of the tunnel I Is a true fissure with trackte walls Since they have gone lower down and started another tunnel in which they are now In about 250 feet and expect to tap the vein within the net twen tfve feet at a depth of 187 f et This company is paying Its own way without mang any assessments and when the mine is properly opened up It can work with small cot Ore from he winze brought about 3000 which has pad for all development this far This seasons work has exposed a large quantity ot highgade ore that will be marketed when they get ready The owners otthls property have a bonanza and are entitled to dulge In great e petatons They have done a great amount of work the pat summer and expect to do much more next Pbe Dalton By reason ot the fact that this Is a close corporation In the respect that they keep their own counsel I Is dln cult tD get information that would be of value to the public The past year the company has kept from four to fifteen men at work sinking and drifting drift-Ing which Is a good sign They must hae something In view to warrant this expenditure Your correspondent Is assured as-sured by reliable parties who have via ie this property the past season that they have a number of tonspossibly a carload of highgrade ore already sacked ready for shipment A big strIke was made on this property sv erlyear ago and a number of men were made rich thereby Since thejl they have lot the vein This ore they I have taken out the past season Is from another vein It Is understood which was recently discovered They have lag of lo gde ore which with the rhht kind of a plarit on the ground could b tr e at handsome profit This promises to become a very valuable property some day The Elephant This 19 a new company incorporated last fall I owns three claims and a fraction Its east end lines join the wet line of the Wedge and its north lines come within abut 600 feet of the Dalton The mineral veins from both thee properties must ruts through this group of claims For ihls r aSon this property is sure tD be herd from In the future Besides they have recently recent-ly uncovered a tenfoot vein that runs in the direction of the Wedge and carries car-rIes much the same character of ore which leads the owner to hope for great results when developed As the have only uncovered the top of the vein no Idea can now be formed of the t1 L L 11d1U = U UULU1U A UUU1Utl UJ UU outs on this same vein on this group lead the owners to believe they have a bonanza As very rich ore only occurs In ore chutes at the surface they believe be-lieve their values will not be all found at one place on their property This part of the camp has been neglected In the pastand is about wholy undeveloped undevel-oped op The Daisy This property Is owned by W F Warock of this place and William Hanna of Monmouth Ill I has two good veins each about a foot wIde I from which assays have been received that run 400 In gold and 288 ounces silver These veins have never been sampled but Mr Warnock believes that If this ore was properly sorted hey could ship The past year they ex pended abut iOO In opening up their property and the appear thoroughly satisfied with the showing made They do not Intend attempting to ship until they get their claim developed when If their ore holds the present values they hope I will become a regular producer i The Copper Belt I This is an old property that was shut don on acount of litigation some fit teen year ago During that time the timbers rotted and It cave In filling the shaft almost to the surface They finally got their law suit settled and last spring Bartholomew Fraee of Victor Cob took i under bond and leas They transferred a part of their bond and lease to Colorado

they can with the facilities at their command Professor Lamb who has been looking after the Intest of these Colorado parties left the frt of December fur Denver to purchase the machinery for a hoist This machinery Is expected now In a few days when It will be place In position and work will again I proceed as rapidly a possible Previous Ious I-ous to the time when this property was forced to shut down by litigation it was a great producer and shipped a large quantity of highgrade ore at a time too when the ore had to be hauled I haul-ed by team from 10 to 150 miles Without With-out doubt net

assays taken from the surface give good value They nave been running a tunnel to dross the vein at a depth of abou1O0 Ieet but they have not tapped th vein yet They have expended about 500 In development develop-ment the past season They think the end of thIs tunnel Is close to the vein yen and will no doubt cross It when they are able to go to work again In the spring 4 Eagle This claim

wagons to uab the nearest railroad point a distance of ninety miles The have a tunnel that follows their vein in a distance of 1700 feet Between Be-tween walls the vein is sixty feet wide but the ore In width varies greatly There Is ore all te way along the tunnel tun-nel which passes through thee chimneys chim-neys About a quarter of a million dollars dol-lars worth of ore was taken from this property early days and large quan titles left In the mine They have a tenstamp mIl don In the valley but were unable tp save values sufficient to justify its running nan Packard J A Odbert anl W E

Iron ore passing across the valley about two miles north of this town attracted his attention and as I was open he located a number of claims along 1e The ore has been tested uuuu UIJU soc Ue In smelters In fact Iron ore they must have to treat certain other ores After finding a market the prIce they would pay would not be suIclent to meet all the expenses of getting the ore to the smelters including a haul by team Of nine miles to Belknap but since the railroads coming to the Vale 15 an assured as-sured fact this promises to become a great industry He has had a nuxnJer a men at work for several zonths opening I up to see how much there was of It The vein widens out rapidly as hey go down and now enough work has been done to demonstrate the fact I that he has almost an unlimited quan
