There is .me ceneral rule, however, governing the mineral d.pu-sits of this mountain ranrfc to which, as far as I have seen, there is no exception, and which may serve as a guide to prospectors. For seime distance about the base of the ranee the formation is granite, and the mineral deposits all lie back of or above this granite and are walled in by it. A LK'.ITIMATE AND PAYING BUSINESS. It is certainly imprudent upon the part of capitalists to invest large sums, of money iu the erection of cost!) .,.rL-- ll.r flip re. In.'! ion of silver bear iug ores at any place where it is im- po-siblo or difficult to obtain ores in sufficient quantity to keep the works in j constant operation. It is already de- j uionstrated that around this valley t i within a distance of one hundred miles : j from Stilt, Lake City, ores exist in an 1 ' abundance to warrant the erection of i ! reduction works of the largest and most1 ! perfect class, and "yet these ores are; nearly ail shipped abroad for reduction , at a cost which is ruinous to the miner j land prevents the working of all but j the exceptionally rich ores. Nearly all f ! of these ores can be milled to a high j 1 percentage by being roasted, as is done j at the Auburn mill at Keuo in Nevada. If reduction works similar to those at ! I Keno were erected iu this valley, at; Salt Lake or at some point ncari jthe line of the railroad further! south, they could not fail, if properly1 managed, in becoming asplendidly pay-1 ing property. Ures-ean be milled here as. well and cheaper than at Keno, and is j reduction works were erected in th is j valley, they would command the pat- i rohage of the miners who would gain upon each ton of ore worked exaotly j 1 the price of freight per ton from Salt i ' Lake to Keno, supposing that the ! charges for milling were the same at 1 each' place. . Such, au eulei qnisc, if uu- j j .Jpi-la L-m. ree't t jtctju I ft tion but ad a J I legitimate business, would be largely i remunerative. It. would of course in-j elude the purchase of ores as well as custom work, and a moderate eapital above the cost of the construction of j works would be necessary for this pur- j pose. The great success of the reduction reduc-tion works of eSelby ct Co., in San Francisco, is an instance in proof that reducing ores is not necessarily a gambling business, and that mining and milling ores, if conducted with the same care and economy, are as legitimate legiti-mate and safe as "manufacturing and merchandising: ...

Our climate alter a week of fair promisie, has relapsed into ! mid-winter, and everybody has returned re-turned to winter quarters. ... - Yours, ! Wasatch. |
