Show I Lillle Cuttouwocd. The outlook for Little Cottonwood jia still claimed by those peaitd 'to be moot lavorable. Nothing of any moment has occurred there lately, but IhP general working ol mines in the district is most eatisfac tory, there being few, if any, prospects pros-pects iu which worn is prosecutfd that do not pay. Tnnugh a number of the prominent mineahavB suffered, 'foraiiiui, (mm various unfavorable 'causes, jet i judicious, iutell;gent and pcr-Uti m Uov.r, these are again j coming to the front. The Alta Consolidated (old V'allfjo) is taid to be the bjst looking mine in Little Cottonwood to-day, aod is being steadily worked The FlagstaQ, which has been harassed with law suits, some of which are now pending, pend-ing, is a t i LI a valuable mine, and is eaid to be ns good to-day as it ever was. Fioin sevsnty-Sve sevsnty-Sve to eighty mm are eteadi ly t-m ployed in the Flagstufl. In conversation, con-versation, nith a very intelligent geu-tltnun, geu-tltnun, yeeterday, and a practical miner, mention was made of the Emma, and be expressed the grealist tAitu in the ultimate outcome of tne property. The mineral, be saye, did not rain down from the clouds in a heap. If that was the case, as soon as a body of ore had been extracted ex-tracted from a mine, it might reasonably reason-ably be concluded that the mineral deposit had been exhausted, but when ore has been discovered a miner knows that, though the original body is temporarily exhausted, there must be more iu the locality, and that judicious application and labor will bring it to light. Hence the conclusion that tho Emma will yet prove to be what its reputation first indicated; he also thinks that nothingwould tend more to restore confidence con-fidence in the mines of this territory than a rich and valuable strike in the Emma. Work on this properly is boiDg pushed ahead and those working work-ing the mine aredetermined that they will make it. |
