Show LETTER FROM OR. GREGORY. Parley's Park, Summit Co.. Utah Territory, October 15th, 1872. Editors Herald: I have been very busy, indeed, during dur-ing the fine spoil of weather, in getting all done I could in the way of developing develop-ing my mines. many visited the Gregory mine, No. 4, while 1 was cutting through what I believed to be and what proved to be the foot wall. Those who had a smattering idea of geology said it was all country rock only common rock of the country. coun-try. Others would ask my men what they expected to find there, etc., but all took good care to say nothing to me about it. While I was in your oity two of my mea actually quit work, being discouraged by what Tom, Dick and Harry would say; so when I arrived ar-rived I asked why they had not continued con-tinued the work 1 had put them there to do. Ooo said and he an old California Cali-fornia minor, too, who had been there for twelve years past "I did not like the appearances, so I thought I would wait until you came homo." "Wait!" said I, "go on with my work just where I put you." He said tho crevice run away to ono side and evidently ran out, as there was a largo rock lying horizontally across the lead. This be the blaster called a horse "A boss." I told him to blast his "boss" out of there, whioh had evidently fallen across the crevice during the volcanio action, just as the walls were closing up on tho crevice matter, and that under his "hoss" bo would find, in all probability, probabil-ity, good crcvico matter, If not, to continue to go on down as long as there was a decent wall, or any crevice at all to guide him. He has done so, and now is in as fine a crevice of as rich ore as I wish to boc in any lode. Tho mine I speak of at present is tho Gracia E. Gregory lodo, carrying beautiful carbonate car-bonate and chloride ore, which at the present writing will assay from $200 to $500 per ton. On this claim I am now down eighteen feet, and pushing ahead. On tho Gregory No. 4, "one-fourth "one-fourth of a milo below it, thcro is a twenty-two-foot crevice and tho hanging hang-ing wall not visible yet; but ono evidence evi-dence of it being close at hand, is that we are now in seven feet of tho prettiest pret-tiest black sulphurcts and decomposed mineral I havo over yet seen. I do wish some of the experts would call around and too these cWiins. They are indeed Wonderful. 'J he geological formation alone is worth the whilo to visit. 1 have had no assay made from this lode since I was down ten foot; at that depth it ran as high an $1J6 36 per ton. It is now richer, and I think is the prottiest oro I have ever seen. I am daily expecting you.and others, to cither visit these mines in person, or else fend somo ono out, in whoso judgment yoa oan rely. I wish them to rest wholly on their merit. I bo-lievo bo-lievo thrco men can take out all of 3U0 tons per day cow; why would this Dot pay larfly ' The way to get to my place is us follows fol-lows : Come lrru Fait Like City to Mr. Black's, at Sny.krviife, who will either vimi aw. wild t hoi coming out or so direct them, that th'-y can find mc. Tho firr-t road turning to the right baud ahwvj Urizzco'B Paw-mill will lake yuu din. oily to the IluwUrrl lode; hut before re iching it yon wi.l find cards on the ttoes pointing to my lodes above-mentioned. I shall be most happy to seo all my friends, as long as they choose to stop. As well as fine and inexhaustible silver mines, we have plenty of game, such as grouse, pheasants, etc. This will while away the time and be pleasant, i Hoping to soon see you and your . friends out here, I am yours, I .
