Show 3lore Salmon River News. We are informed by Major Talbot that Mr. J. H. McGrath, of Sandy, has juet received a letter from J. D. Wood, a prominent merchant of Oballis, " Idaho, which Btates that Messrs. Kirk and Emory are down forty feet on what is known as the Vermont mine, on Poverty Flat, Bay Horae district. At that distance tht-y have a twenty-five foot ledge with three feet of Jina chloride ore, which assays from 300 to 900 ounces silver per ton. He also states that, by other letters from the same place, he learns that the tuone) being run in on the Hawthorn vein shows from two to four feet of rich ore. This tunnel is now in a distance of 380 feet. Work on the Keystone is being pushed ahead, the tunnel on that claim being in forty-five feet, and displays a two-foot vein of ore, some ot which assays 1,900 ounces to the ton. In common parlance this ia a "terror." Quite a number of Utah mining men have taken an active part in locating that country. Among these Mr. J. H. McGrath, Major Talbot, George Harlan, Chas. Stone, Frank Melhoue and Messrs. McQuail and McConnel and others, are extensively exten-sively interested in the ground around and adjoining the Vermont mine. It would seem that these gentlemen had a big fortune in reach in that locality. The major feels happy over the good news and will make an early Btart for Salmon river in the soring, with a view to developing hia properly. |
