Show j MINING IN TOUELE COUNTY. Lakeside MiNtsn District, Tooele County, U. T., Dec. 21, '71. i Elitors Jvrahl: A word as to thi-i district. We have suffered great inconvenience hero from tl 0 scarcity of water but nuw we have ' plenty of snow, it being about eighteen . in:hcs deep on the north sido of the , mountains. The miow is seldom very cii ep here, probably from iis close p.oximity to the lake, yjt it u deeper . tl an has been known fur many years : sc early in the season. The boys who arj sinking the Weil aie down abuut one hundred feet and the prospects for 1 water are litir. They will suspend farther digging until the top Ls curbed, as it is becoming dangerous to work at this depth, anil will then pmh the work until they reach water, which will be a great advantage here. Several Sev-eral mining claims are beine worked with energy and bid fair to be very Mtccefiil. The Bev. B.' S. Dunn has had a tliaft sunk on the A" indicator lode to the d.'p'.h of lifiy feet, which looks well and bills I'ntr to be a very large ledge. Already quite a quantity of mineral is in siht and one body full three by one and a half feet. A gentleman gen-tleman has offered Mr. Dunn $25,000 for the ledge, which was refused, and ynu may imagine it is no Hinall afiair. Tins district promises to couio out , bright by priug and bid fair to become be-come a good mining camp. The work here will be mostly suspended until after New Veur, when it will be resumed re-sumed with renewed energy. |
