There arc at least a- couple of hundred locations made, but the lack of railway rail-way and other laeilities has material ly delayed development, and the great lufijurhycf owners, are partion.ly await hug Ihe'ii-pproiieh of the Utah .Southern .South-ern road, when they intend to have as lively a camp ;ts Utah a (lords. Among the mines being worked at present are the Morse, Vulture, Magpie and Rising Star. The Morse is owned by Salt Lake parlies, :tnd is hcintr worked by .Messrs. Eriekson and Thurglcson, i!so interested in il. Th.y have. :i shall in about eighly feet on w six inch vein, and are taking out ore assaying as high as $1)0 in silver, and GO per cent, in lead. j The Vulture is owned by Smith and ' Cooke, who arc working it.
