Show "OUT OF SIGHT." Ilngwar a Dandy l)itrlct and Sam Oilton H uan King, The oro from Sam GiNon's great mine in Dttway district has been sampled sam-pled and assayed and hero are the figures: fig-ures: Four and a Half Ton. First Clun. Silver WV' ounces. i, old 'f I'liie en. Lead 10'j per cent. Silica t'-J.4 per cent, Iron iVt p r cent. Aac H.tt per cut. Threa and a Hlf Ton. Second ClasA. Sil-er l'V ounr"s. i.ol I y 10 ounces. Lead I per cent. These figures speak more eloquently of the wonderful character and richness of the find than any thing that could bo written. Eight tons of oro taken from the grass roots giving such returns is something almost pheuomenal, aud ronciu lively ' proves the correctness of Mr. Gilson's statements of two weeks ago that the samplers which he then brought in, were not picked ones but were as near an average as any man could take. From the representations made by disinterested parties that tlw prospect shown in the present stage of development develop-ment is immense and that it gives every hope of permanency; it is not unreasonable unreason-able to .predict that Dugway will have a population of one thousand before July, and that Gibson mino will be shipping from twenty-five to fifty tons of ore a day. with the same length of time, either with a railroad or without with-out it. Tho expense of hauling the ore by wagon from tho district to Salt Lake is only $15 a ton, an insignificant bagatelle baga-telle to a mine which can produce such richness and in such qualities as it seems this mine is capable of produo-iug. |
