Show IN AMERICAN FORK CANYON from all indications it is more than evident that there will be a great deal of activity in mine and prospect development in american fork canyon this season and that in due time this famed old camp which is located in the hills back of the pretty utah city of this name will again reenter re enter the list as a heavy producer and regular shipper and it is learned that ore consign ments from this locality will be resumed as soon as the melting of the snowbanks there makes it possible for teaming to begin still at the present time considerable work is being done in that section by companies and individuals who were able to get in their supplies in early winter or just before the spring storms set in last week the mining review enjoyed a pleasant call from george tyng of american fork a vetran when it comes to successful mining operations it is mr tyng who has a lease on the wyoming claim of the miller group in american fork canyon and who greatly deplores the exaggerated reports that have been sent out regarding the amount of ore in sight in this property and its production during last season As a matter of fact said mr tyng the talk of there being a mi million lilon in sight in the new find had no foundation at all and was merely guess work or the result of an intensely excited imagination I 1 have given out the statement before and will reiterate it that the output from the mine last year was 1020 tons of a gross value of about the average value of the ore being in the neighborhood of 43 a ton mr tyng now has fourteen men in his employ and these are doing dead work and are also engaged in prospecting for more ore at the present time on a conservative estimate about 1000 tons of shipping ore are exposed in wyoming workings and this will not be touched until the snow melts and the roads become passable which will be some time in july from present indications however about a carload of ore now sacked on the dump will probably be boated down to the main canyon road if the snow does not become too rotten and be looked for from an early shipment may this property it is thought that the record of the wyoming for last year may possibly be duplicated this season the mine may do even better than this but this will all depend upon the results of the development work now in hand |
