property of the UI tah Copper Summit compaj whomy justy cIlm te credit 9f inaugurating the frt active operations on Carbonate bill The mine a produced many thousands of dollars worth > of high grade ore which netted a handsome profit despite t nlnetmle wagon hau over rough mountain road The com pany now has a fortton smelter operating oper-ating successfully and Is ping up bullion bul-lion for shipment Thousands of ton of ore are In sight at the mine whIch i said to show up bet r than at anytime any-time In Its history The recent strike Is sad to be a important one and adds r materially to the value of the property Several dazzling bids have been made for the property running away up Into the hundreds of thousands thou-sands tempted but the company cannot b Neighboring Properties All around the big mine are promi log prospects and several important transfers were made during the yea Jesse Knight is heavily interested In the cap and Is pushing his tunnel Oi the Cleveland which joins the Dyer on the west Uncle Jesse has great faith In the Cleveland and figures on strIking the ore boy with his usual assurance Sfer King on the south slope has been surveyed for patent recently and the owners who are Vernal and Provo men are confident that they have a big leadslher proposition Alt over the south slope are promising clams that contain within their lines the prospect of dividend payers On the north of the Dyer Is the Big Four which recently made a shipment of highgde ore to the Salt Lako smelters The Old Glory the property or Dr ARose A-Rose lines up against the Dye on the east with fine indications The Emerelda further dow the hill Is the only copper placer mine in the country its entire surface and fG ten feet beneath being fled with rich copper float which the owner are fig using on taking out by hydraulic process T Grizzly Four miles eat along the time reef i located the Grizzly In which Jese Knight Is heavily interested The ore here I I the lime above the contact and runs high in silver as well ad rns sler a wel 8ICOP per The property Is being developed by means of a tunnel In the face 0 which are some fine stringers of ore Fifteen miles farther est on Pot crack the lie reef shows unmistakable sign of mineral and some development work has been done At this point galena ga-lena Is found with the copper which resembles the ore from the Bett mine on the south slope of GrzzlY mountain From Pot creek to the state line very little prospecting has been done owIng to the roughness of the country Just across the line and on the same lime reef Is the DouglaS Mountain district where the BromIde mine and smelter I located There are several very promIsing prom-Ising clams In the district the majority maor Iy of whIch are owned by Vernal parties par-ties and while just across the line are contributory to Vernal The recent active operations of the Bromide com pan have furnished employment to a grsat many Uintah county men and I team I Jese Ewing District In the northeastern corer of the county Is she ese EWing district hich Is a promising section The formation for-mation Is of vOlcanic origin and consists con-sists of 1terate strata9 of schist granite quartz and Intrusive porphyry The whole countr Is heavily mineralized mineral-ized and over 10 claims are recorded Representative ONei Is associated wIth E V JlcCune and R B Shepard In the development of a very promising promis-ing group of claims In the district The company which Is known as the Vernal Ver-nal Copper company now have their main shaft down nearly 100 feet with adrift a-drift to the north sixty feet The IndI catons are very promising and work will be pushed with renewed vigor a ter the holidays The Morning Star the property of James Hacking of Vera and other Is coming to the front a one of the promising lams of the district The property Is beIng developed by an In dine that shows a fine strata of per phY heavily mineralized with copper and silver values between siTh1t wil1s Allover the district are numerous wl tim nets and shafts all of which show good values In copper and shyer Gold Is also found In the district and several promising gold properties are beIng developed de-veloped I When the present development Tork demonstrates the permanencyot the ori bodIes there will be a great rash It that section as the country shows min eraI indications for n consIderable distance tnce Red creek Beaver creek and Willow creek as well a ese Ewing show heavy mlneralzatcn The Blue Mountain country Is another an-other very promising section which owing to Its inaccessibility has been retarded In its development Splendid specimens of copper and gold r are brought in from there and considerable consider-able prospecting Is being done On Deep creek are located several big lowgade copper propositions In which Washington interested parties have lately become Great Mineral Section In almof every part of northeastern Utah miner Is found In the districts mentioned are found gold silver copper cop-per nickel and lead All through the country are Innumerable veins of coal some of which are of good coking quality qual-ity Hydrocarbons In all forms arc common frm sand asphalt to the purest pur-est grades of gilsonite mineral wax elaterIe ete Lithographic stone Fullers Ful-lers earth kaolin gypsum and fireclay fire-clay are a few of the side Issues with which the country Is fle Taken altogether it Is a safe state ment that In no other section of the state are the mIneral resources so var led a In the northeastern portion With transportation facilities the develop ment would be rapid and the many op portunites that now await capital would be seized upon and the great geat Ulntah basin would become a hive 01 Industry Indications point to the year 1900 a the liveliest In a mining way In the history of the country A great deal 01 development work has been mapped out and despite the Inconvenience of operating oper-ating In such an Isolated region It Is a reasonable prediction that northeast era Utah will furnish may proofs of the validity of her claim to be classed as one of the mineral sections of the state before the close of the coming yea |
