is being done in Snake Creek district the present season The tT Records representative took a hurried trip througn that country the first of k the week and saw much to encourage f the belief that the district will at a i ear day b the scene of profitable ore mining ventures In times past fabulously rich in the precious metals I has been extracted from some of its mines notably the Southern Tier Work f abandoned because l on that property was abanconed r cause the vein had faulted As a matter of fact little else could have t mater been expected as the country is badly broken up and what development was done was at a point very close to the f top of the range Lower down jhe stratification appears to be in place stratfcaton appars r and it Is from this point that big things I i are expected the present season William 1 1 Will-iam Van Wagoner and associates have a promising group in Snake Creek upon which they have commenced active operations I op-erations In their ground there are i si I ot and possB > ly three welldefined t veins earning gold silver copper and lead There Is strong belief that the I mineral descends to great depth in i which event Van Wagoner and company com-pany will find it as they are running I a tunnel from a pcint within a few t hundred feet of Snake creek which will I tap the first vein at a depth of not less I than SCO feet Further up the canyon i Cornelius Springer is working on some Cornelus io himself and good ground belonging o iimself his labors thus far have been rewarded I by the discovery of a fine copper ledge which shcns fho

the following to say relative to the La Salle mountains In southeastern Utah In company with W A Shafer and Grant Cookingham the Times man left Moab last Saturday morning for a ten days inspection of the La Salle inspecto Sale mountains moun-tains at that point known as the head of Mill creek about 25 miles by the trail from Moab Considerable attention atten-tion ha been given to the mineral I prospects of this district in yearspast I Considerable work having been done I there in placer mining about 20 years I ago i agoThe raise of five or six thousand feet above Moab is overcome with the usual i Jc Wr r t trailing about and effort of mountain i cllnYfoing I is better understood by experience than description The snow I was found very deep yet In the timber tim-ber shaded gulches north slopes and the peaks yet not to interfere much with prospecting as there is plenty of virgin ground that is clear the experience ex-perience of wading several hours I through snow on the last day of May was enjoyed by us The first impression of the L Salle I mountains are their similarity to the mountains and canyons of Clear Creek I Gilpin and Boulder counties Colorado I known the world over for their rich I mires The mountains are covered with a slide of trap rock of the nature of quartz trachyte making prospecting difficult Mineral bearing veins crop through in places standing perpendicular perpen-dicular and cutting through the mountains moun-tains northwesterly and southeasterly and can be traced for miles from one peak to another all having the same general bearing Float rich in gold is found throughout through-out the gulches and In large pieces showing that it has come but a short distance One piece found by Robert Thompson last summer near the head o Mill creek he had assayed at Denver Den-ver and obtained a return of over 14 1 000 per ton pr In the few days Inspection given this section we were satisfied of its rich mineral promise and well worthy of the efforts of the practical prospector Although the ground has been done over for years and numerous claims stake and promising assays obtained there has been little practical work clone A claim In which Mr Shafer Is Interested covers more practical workman work-man all others we visited Here a tunnel has been run in onto a vein of unknown thickness of a hard gray ish white quartz seamed with iron pyrites carrying principally silver assays as-says showing from 20 to 30 ounces to the ton the side wall passed through being a reddish brown porphyry Across the mountains at the head 3f Mill creek for several miles runs what is known as the Mammoth vein which from the surface indications appears pear to be several hundred feet vide This is a hrrd reddish brown porphyry and assays from different parts taken I from the surface gave 250 to 17 free gold I The reason why greater developments have not been made in the past is plainly seen prospectors who have located I ated claims in this region have tried I to see how many claims they could hold the result gopher holes for assessment as-sessment work I all this work had been centralized at one or two points 1 rich producing camp might now be the result One producing mine would ghe a cash value to neighboring claims The character and formation of the Mountains the rich float scattered throughout the gulches all indicate the rich mineral character of these mountains moun-tains Some heavy tunneling must be lone to uncover the eins Heavy forests of pine and spruce are on all sides Heavy grass for I teed for pack aid draft animals I ani-mals the very best jot water I md in abundance ad same abudance r h I Is certainly an ideal sport for prospectors I pros-pectors or those seeking a summer outing out-ing I prospectors will spend less tme In staking claims and more In actual mining work it will not be long befor tthe I L Sale will be one of the reat I i mineral producing districts of Utah producng I I On onr way back we took Jme to look over the mesa land lying at te foot of the peaks Here lays thousands thous-ands of acres of as fertile land as can I be found anywhere and much of it requiring re-quiring little or no irrigation An idea spot for small grains potatoes etc I Frpm this section alone Grand count con become a shipper or four feed and potatoes instead of a now importin the principal supply There Is unllmitei water power for milling purposes and building material at hand H Day Joseph Burkholder and Charles Shafer are at present settled on the mesa We shall try and visit other parts or the count within a few weeks MINING NOTES Mr Lutzenheiser has made a smal shipment of ore from the mines in Miners Basin in the La Salle and is preparing pre-paring to make regular shipments There are 20 or more men at work 01 claims in Miners Basin on the La Bale and prospectors have just commence to come In Snow is yet quite deep in the gulches and north slopes of the < mountains C N Christensen has found a rich placer field on his ranch on the Dolores While digging an Irrigation ditch for his ranch he cut Into a gravel bed that investigation proved to be rich in gold He with George Tanner and others are preparing to work i W H Nichols a mining man of Butte Mont came in from the roil road Wednesday and started at once for Lisbon Springs Lester Taylor ac companying him He went out to Inspect In-spect the Daly copper properties with i view of the location of a smelter He returned last evening and left thIs morning for the west He had little to say regarding his trip but informec us that he would be back inside of two weeks A BELIEVER I DREA But the Geological Expert Took Nc Stock in Them The other day Editor HIggins was telling of a dream he had two nights in succession says the Mercur Miner He thought he had found a rich ledge of ore in a certain part of the CASH with barrels of gold nuggets in it Ha he dreamed it the third time he though he would have gone in search of the ledge This reminds us of a case where a man lost a rich ledge by not attending attend-ing to the warnings of 0 dream I o in was in 1891 during the excitement the Granite Mountain district I will be remembered that several rich strikes were made there and a large number of prospectors went into the country Among them were Jim McGregor and Tom Marshall McGregor was a Scotchman with all a Scotchmans superstition su-perstition and belief in omens dreams and signs Marshall was a broken down college man with no belief in anything but the ordained laws of nature and the science of geology One night he dreamed that he had found a rich ledge of free gold running along the ridge of a peculiar shaped mountain He had often seen this ledge but knew there could be no gold in i for it was of the wrong formation But he had the dream three nights in succession and it made something o an impression on him He told it to McGregor and he advise him to investigate the ledge but Marshall Mar-shall only laughed at the idea Finally Fin-ally the Scotchman determined to prospect pet a little for himself After getting a minute description from Marshall ot the place where the find was made in his dream he went to digging but did not say anything to Marshall for fear of being laughed at I was a most unpromising looking location being apparently a lime ledge He sunk a shaft alongside the ledge and within ten feet struck a body of gold bearin quartz After sinking for two days he came upon a rich fissure only a few Inches wide from which in the next six weeks he took 87000 in gold I w as the richest strike ever made in the Granite Mountain district McGregor located the ground before anyone knew there was any gold in that part of the district Marshall tried to get him to give him a share in It as he said i was really his dream that had led to Its location The old Scotchman wouldnt give uo a nickel however He said Marshall had always made fun of his dreams and his signs and now he would get even with him I he wanted to get a rich mine let him take his geological geo-logical books and his college theories and f off and find one The episode completely changed Marshall Mar-shall He became a believer In dreams and a searcher after lost mines Stories of buried treasures and wonderful strikes had a great fascination for him Coming to believe in dreams he natur ally had some very remarkable ones and it was a dream that led him to believe be-lieve that there were rich placer beds in the Jordan river south of Salt Lake The last we heard of him he was prospecting pros-pecting along the Snake river in Idaho McGregor took his money and went to Scotland ScotandTH THE CElTTTTRY MINE Promising Gold Property Up in Box Elder County The Brigham City Bugler makes the following mention o the Century mine which is owned by1 a Salt Lake company com-pany The Century mine in Park Valley is now one of the most promising claims in Box Elder county This week Foreman Fore-man William R Bowden passed through Brigham on his way to Salt Lake with a lot of fine ore from the Century In a bottle he carried some reduced ore from the mine yellow yel-low with canary gold that assays 2250 to the ounce Ore from this mine has assayed into the hundreds but the returns re-turns from 600 pound lots of average ore run about 50 to the ton Three shifts of men are at work now they have 1500 feet of good grade ore opened up and expect to erect a mill in a short time there is plenty of paying ore now in sight to justify It Together To-gether with a mining expert from Salt Lake some of the Salt Lake owners have just returned from an inspection of the mine All are pleased with the promising outlook A NEW GOLD DISTRICT Recent Valuable Discoveries of Ore West of Anaconda There will be more prospecting in the hills west and southwest of Anaconda Ana-conda this year than ever before says the Standard of Anaconda Mont with the possible exception of the early flays when Cable was the gold producer pro-ducer of the county Then the immediate im-mediate country surrounding that famous mine was pretty well prospected pros-pected yet i is a fact that some good ground was overlooked then as is shown by recent discoveries in that neighborhood Parties of prospectors ire going Into country that was practically prac-tically unexplored by earlyday miners almost every day I Is possible that every foot of the ground between here and Bitter Root will be explored in one way or another before winter Already Moose Lake district is about al staked off and this particular section sec-tion of the belt is forging ahead at a rapid rate several discoveries havtng I Been made there that have opened the yes of the mining world Ah along i Flint creek camps of miners are un overlng eeS mceam splendid possibilities l i From Flint creek over the mountains I toward the Big Hole is a stretch of ountry that will be prospected this rear several camps having been estab i ished In this section In that belt extending ex-tending from Georgetown to Granite I and to the northwest can be found several outfits jut for the stuff J J Flick cslme down yesterday from this section and says everybody Is encouraged encour-aged by showings made In Georgetown George-town are many men who arc develOp i ing mines that give every promise of permanent wealth Heretofore outside of Cable in the district west of Anaconda the search I has been for silver Much silver ore has been found and was being ex traded at a profit until the fatal stroke I of 1893 after which silvermining wa dropped and the hunt for gold begun I is daily demonstrated that Montana I I Mon-tana Is a good a field for tie prospector I pros-pector as any In the northwest The t booms In British Columbia I attrac I hundreds of miners to the queens domain I do-main but news from there does not state that they have all discovers rich leads A private letter from Trail B c says Workingmen who contemplate I con-template coming here to work would better remain away as the place is overrun and work is scarce I The opening of the country west of here will be a good thing for Anaconda Ana-conda which will naturally be the I commercial headquarters for the district dis-trict This is the feeder for that country I coun-try and upon its development will depend de-pend much of the growth of this city tip in Idaho The Avalanche of Silver City Idaho in commenting on the mining interest of that section says Heber Davis and Alt Sotheren wen over from Quicksilver district this week and from the former we learn that considerable development work is being done throughout that section Mr Davis and hIs i irtner Con Lowney are nearly to their vein with a 500fool crosscut tunnel Prospecting work is being done to prove up the district and the courage displayed by Messr Davis and Lowney in rumiing a tunnel over 500 feet goes to show the abiding faith of the mine owners of that section sec-tion The Avalanche mining expert will visit that district during the present pres-ent month Gus Hcltcren and Carl Nelson have taken a contract to sink the Trade Dollar Dol-lar shaft 50 feet with the privilege ol 100 feet if they desire They are bah good miners and will put the job through in short order The shaft is I now about 30 feet In depth and will be sunk at least 300 feet Alpine Surveyor Hulett recently completed a survey of the crosscut tunnel being run by the Trade Dollar company to cut the Alpine ledge A ledge was cut some time ago by the tunnel but doubta were entertained as to whether i was the main Alpine ledge or not The survey proves that it is The Alpine group is under bond to the Trade Dollar company and the crosscut cross-cut referred to starts from the Trade Dollar workings The company will crosscut clear through the Alpine grcund Trade Dollar The new pump for the shaft has arrived and is now in place It has a capacity of about 60 gallons air per minute and Is run by compressed Morning Star This property is taking tak-ing out ore and sacking for shipment Sloping in the fourth level north THE EXCURSION TO THTTIC I Many City People View the Bonanzas ThereIn There-In point of numbers as In all else the Rio Grande Western Tlntic excursion yesterday yes-terday vas a complete success By actual ac-tual count 200 people visited the great mining district through taking the advantage ad-vantage of the opportunity offered by the Western and that they fully enjoyed the u should probably go without saying To the energetic work of Billy JUdd Is due considerable of the success attending the excursion The train was made up of six day coaches and left this city at a a m arriving at Eureka at 1 oclock and at Mammoth and Silver a short time after Through Utah courtly stops were made and at Lehl Provo and Springvllle excursionists ex-cursionists came aboard many of them heavily laden with fruit and llowera tor friends in the various camps At Goshen a second engine was attached to the heavy train in order that there might be no delay In getting up the grade Great Interest taken in the was many scenic beauties en route this interest never grows less no matter how often travelers re out over the Western to Tlntic and the car platforms vere crowded as the train went up oventha loop At Eureka the excursionists began to leave the train and when Silver was reached but comparatively few were I aboard The train returned to Eureka shortly after 4 oclock In the afternoon and remained until 6 oclock thereby enabling en-abling the sightseers gl see at 1 least the I surface showings of the entire district All of the big mines and the mill as well as many of the prospects had their quota of visitors and In all cases the later I were shown every courtesy by the mine and mill managers The thunder of the batteries at the Eureka Eu-reka Hill 100stamp mill was stilled just before noon and did not resume until late in the day This cesatlon of full operations I opera-tions was only temporary however Ped 3 was sImply ordered for the purpose of making the monthly cleanup or the plant At the Eureka Hillmines Sunday is now truly a day of rest all miners being laid off on that day Enough ore Is hoisted during the week to supply the mill on the of day From the BullionBeck 60 or 70 tons of I firstclass ore are being shipped dally A horse power engine is now building for the company and will be Installed at once on the 900foot level for the purpose of permitting greater ease in the operation of the winze below that level The main shaft will not be sent down any deeper unti more prospecting has been done below be-low the lfoot level in the winze Time completion of the Godivas hoisting and compressor plant Is being rushed ahead as rapidly as poslble and the work should soon be in operation With Its new plant at work the Godlva will commence com-mence a great production record At the Uncle Sam some very fine ore Is belns taken out and shipped at the rate of a car dally Mr Knight has just let I a contract for 503 feet of new tunnel work In order to open the property at a greater depth Work on the new tunnel which is located nearly as low down the mountain I a the mouth of the Godiva tunnel commenced com-menced yesterday morning No GeminiKeystone ore will be treated at the Sioux mill as has been announced would be the case I seems that the company directors failed to agree on the mater I was at first proposed to treat several thousand tons of secondclass ore being held on the dump The old Eagle Is preparing a shipment of ore Operations were resumed on this great property a short time ago and some fine ore Is being taken out The closing down of the Mammoth mill oaus < d a great quiet at Robinson but It is semlofilclally announced that the closedown close-down will not be for long although some I thin will depend upon the smelters and railroads The books of the company show that the mills average monthly I record has been that of a good money ge tgfm1n maker iSthbee Mammoth mines the shovIng r shov-Ing is quite satisfactory and some fine ore is being broken and raised The Ajax is algo looking and doing well The recent draft of men was the simple and natural I result of the cessation of the production I of lowgrade ore for the Sioux mill Much Interest attaches to the recent Initial I Ini-tial shipment of ore from the Grand Central I Cen-tral The ore should go about five ounces In gold but shows little silver and nor no-r copper or lead I is found only in a j small seam through the lowcrade stuff but its presence Is a splendid Indication I of larger and possibly richer bodies Tie ore came from the face of tie drift east i from the 700foot station I The Silver City and Diamond producers and prospects are all active and attracted much attention Both of the Swanseas were special objects of interest and the Buckeye was also visited by I party Regardless of the closing of two of Its mills and the several drafts of men made at the mines the people of the Tlntic district dis-trict are far from feeling depressed They may have been somewhat blue at times but they are 3 plucky crowd and they feel the3 that the smelters and railroads will not continue to cripple the district when the true conditions are made known The district Is ripe for a great boos i all Interests will but pull In the i same direction i Mining Motes
