Show American Fork. Not since the days ot the Poorman Miller mine has this camp presented such an air of genuine activity. The older locations are all under steady and vigorous development, while recent months have seen a largo number of new claims added to the catalogue of steady workers. The superficial showing show-ing in the Kalamazoo, to which attention atten-tion has already been called, has quickened the movements of prospectors prospec-tors and stimulated explorations generally. gener-ally. Capital stands ready to take hold of reasonable prospects and the roster of the camp will be largely increased in-creased when the work of the year is reviowed. THE SUNSHINE. This claim, which is among the new ones at American Fork, is being worked by the owners, Messrs. Harvey Tira-mons Tira-mons and R. E. Hinter. . The gentlemen gentle-men began developments at the surface, sur-face, and at the grass roots have shown up a class of ore that assays nine ounces silver, four-tenths of an ounce gold, and twenty per cent lead. The ore is found in the lime and continues down with diverging wall which indicates indi-cates a continuous and larger vein at lower levels. The owners are very much eucouraged with the result of their explorations, and will continue work on a steady and energetic scale. THE MILLER MINE. The history of this bonanza is the history ef the American Fork district and although, through internal dissca-tions dissca-tions il has been permitted to lie idle for some time it is none the less property prop-erty of tremendous resources. It has been productive of large amounts of ore but owing to complications growing out of the settlement of the estate of one of the original owners work was suspended. suspend-ed. It is said by those who assume to know that it is now getting out of its entanglements and that in a short time it will be again contributing largely to the furnace. No event could do more for the prosperity of American Fork and the miners of that locality are looking forward with much anxiety for its arrival. ar-rival. THE DUTCHMAN. This property, which was admitted to the list of producers seme time ago, is now extracting a steady amount of ore, while extensive preparations are being mado to increase the product. With this in view a concentrating mill is being erected under direction of Manager Osborne, and a good report is expected at the expiration of the year. THE NORTH STAR. From this property there , come re-I re-I ports of the most gratifying nature. An ore body of considerable magnitude has been opened up in the tunnel and some very desirable smelting ore is being taken out. Tho outlook for the North Star is very flattering and is a well earned reward to those who are working work-ing il. |
