This deviation from the old line of travel was mailu to avoid a lotitf stretch of ilflep sand as well as to shorten I ho lino about live miles, and also li.id writer in the bed of "Kivcr bed," in w hich object we were successful hliout noon of that day. At a point known as thu "Smelter," we intersected the old road, at the font of the iigway mountain ranee about two and a half miles east of Mills' mining camp, w here we pitched our tent about 4 o'clock p. in. Here our encampment has remained since that date, awaiting the nrrival of the supply train, and in the interim the miners in the immedi-ate neighborhood have been enganed'in constructing a staia road through and over a mountain pass at this pjint which will save a distance of ten or twelve miles between this point anil Fish Springs, the next station west of bero. During our sojourn here the reporter its extreme richness, The nsay re-turns are tii) ounces in stiver and 0 ounces gold. second-clas- ore 'M ounces silver and !i ounces gold. From the last shipment at least $;;)0 per ton will bo reall.ed. The ore carries about 10 per cent lead. TIih location Is about the center of the et anil a little to the east side of the mining belt. The WAsHIN'CTO MINK Is located next to the Kuckhorn, and has but seven feet of development work done upon it. showing by assay ao per cent lend and 1J ounces silver. Next to this is the IKI.I.OW JACKKT. which is in brief a mountain of ore, as-saying ounces silver, 22 per cent lead. 115 per cent iroir and 4 per cent lime and silica. This lode h is been opened its entire length, IWO t'eet, show-ing a solid mass of ore, without any knowledge by its owner of how far t lie mineral will extend. In this mine, in places, large bodies of copper ore have been found running as high as V per cent. A tunnel 40 feet with cross-cut- s near its extreme end has been made, and below its mouth a shall 125 feet has been sunk, both of these excava-tions have been made, within the body of the ore without walls of any other material on either sides, top or bottom. The next three mines belonging to this group are the SAIUH.K HOCK, Sl SslilNK AND VlltdlMA. all of which carry about the same averago of silver mid lend, the assays showing from 71 to 4411 ounces in silver, except from the Sun-shine, which has nut been developed The Virginia has To feet of develop-ment work completed and the Saddle Kock 2"i feet, with a seven foot vein of ore in sight. The next group of mines your re-porter visited are those owned and con-trolled by William Mills, and named respectively Silver King. Mono No. 2, Francis. Hobtail, Monarch No. 2, Har-rison and ticorge H. The fll.VKlt K1NC, of this group seems to be Mr. Mills' pet and is one of the most extensively worked mines in the district, it is a contact vein, averaging in width from two to forty feet, showing pay ore throughout the dimensions of the vein. The walls to this lode are composed of lime on the east and tlart, on the west. Twelve shafts and inclines have been sunk, the deepest of which is fifty feet. The assay returns show: 1st class, 0.) per cent lead und from 1(1 to 28 ounces silver; 2d class, ;!0 per cent lead and 10 ounces silver; all bearing more or less gold. 1 i is MONO MINE is located three miles west of the Silver King, and within sight of the Deep I'reek stage line, contains a solid body of lead ore ten feet wide, with, as yet, no foot wall found. This mine is lo-cated on the eastern slope of the moun-tain, and at the po'.ut of discovery seems to be an overllow running down the slope with nothing but a con-glomeration of quart, matter as a covering, and that very thin, alter the removal of which there is nothing left to view bill a solid mass of lead ore. This vein has been developed to a dis-tance of 200 feet and will run not less Connor llros . of Stockton, have nam;d their recent tind the tiobl King. '1 he ledge of minetal covers the whole width of the locution, and from samples assayed they get $13 gold and I'J.oO in silver. (ieorge Kiley and James Hughes of Stockton, owners of the Muldoon, Hlack Hawk and Fraction No. 2, report gold and silver locations within a half mile from Wilson's Kuckhorn. on the south-west side of the mountain. The width of the Klack Hawk vein is from twenty-liv- e to thirty feet. That of Fraction No. 2. from two to eiyht feet, both with tracings the full length of location. 1$. F. Kates and Morgan J. Meachan are the happy possessors of Comstock Nos. I and 2, and FlagstalT; three claims together on the line of the main contact, being the main lead belt of the district. The ore along this belt goes about ."i0 per cent lead ami varies in sil-ver from ten to eighty ounces. The ledges are. well delined and are about thirty feet in width from hanging to foot wall. They dip to the west about forty-liv- e degrees. Under the district regulations it is the business of the recorder when requested to record a claim to go upon the ground and if the claim has been located and recorded prior to the request so made it becomes his duty to inform the party or parties request-ing such locatioji that it is not open to location; but if said party insist, it then becomes the fluty of the recorder to comply with the request, with his note of protest. The fee for recording is 1 for each claim; fur visiting the location within the limits of one mile the lee is 1, and twenty-liv- cents for each addi-tional mile, aiid when called on it is his duty to measure assessment work and give his certificate with statement of amount of work done, for which his fen isfcl. Kefore any claim is recorded it is the duty of the claimant to satisfy the recorder that live feet of work has been done on the veins or deposit. Fifteen days is allowed for doing the necessary work and recording claim. This district w as organized on the 2d day of February, 1!U, since which time over ninety claims have been recorded. Trior to this date all claims were re-corded in Tooele. Tho number of claims recorded at both points is about 2.'n. The boundaries of this district are: Commencing at the northwest point of I ra ii i to mountain at a point where the Juiib county line crosses Dugway moun-tain, thence running east along said county lino lifteen miles, thence due north to a point opposite tho northeast point of faid (irauite mountain, thenco west tifteeu miles to the place of be-ginning. This makes the district about lifteen by twenty miles in dimensions. BrtKHOKS cm'. The townsitu of Kuckhorn is located in a handsome niotmtaiu valley about one mile east of tiilson's mine. It con-tains eighty acres within its boundary and within the next leu days will have its first hotel completed. The lumber is now on its w av lrom Salt Lake and will arrive by Monday next. When it arrives the building will be ready for occupancy within two (leys, the frame work and every- - part of ihe building having first been prepared for putting together before shipping. The dimen-sions of this building alb 30xii0 feet. 71 ' gy Mr. Gilson informs your reportor that he is making preparations for pip-ing water from the southeast end of Granite mountain to this point. This enterprise will require some time to complete, and in the meantime, and for the benelit of all who have in view a visit to this point, your correspondent would suggest the importance, if they intend to come with their own convey-ances, to bring empty barrels with them in which to haul their water sup-ply during their stay here. All the water used in this camp at the present time is hauled a long distance from a spring at the east end of Granite moun-tain. The first general grocery supply arrived here today. It is owned by 1". A. Slebbins who, in addition to opening up a trade in this direction will keep tho stage station where passengers over the Deep creek stage line cau be sup-plied with board and lodging. Dr. Kruce Garrett, the efficient man-ager of tho Deep Creek stage lino, has been doing excellent work since his ar-rival here. The roadway made through the mountain pass, saving twelve miles of travel on the Hue from this point to Fish Springs was made under his di-rection and engineering. Prospectors are arriving at this camp daily in squads of twos, threes ami fours, all of whom, so far as your cor-respondent has been able to learn, are making good finds and seem to bo highly elated over their success. Within the next thirty days all the camps in this part of the territory will be tilled with people. has had lime to visit a number of the mining camps in the district, a partial description of which appears below. In visiting tho various camps and minej the opportunity for investigation has been excellent and the uniform wel-come with which your reporter has been received by the mining fraternity has been one of the most pleasing fea-tures of bis journey thus far. In climb-ing up and down the mountain slopes, in battling with the difficulties in pass-ing up and down the narrow passage ways of gulch and gorge, voluntary guides have always accompanied him, not only rendering this kiud of assist-ahc-but imparting information valua-ble to the stranger in search of such. The peculiar formation of the various kinds of ores, their croppings and courses, were described as we passed from one point to another, which in many respects (as they say) dilfer very materially from anything they have evur been accustomed to before. Tin; GII.SON" MINE. Ou Thursday, in company with Mr. Sam Gilson, I visited tho famous Buck-hor- n lode, which within the past few weeks lias revolutionized the old theor-ies of tho mining world. This mine, in its general appearance, does not materially differ from those of the balance of the district. The croppings from the siirfaco of tho slope or point of ground where discovered, were very slight, and aside from tho results achieved tho majority of prosuectars would have passed them by in search of better prospects. The surface of the hillside, resembling a gray clay substance more than "any-thing tls;, assays very high in silver and gold At the point of discovery a hole in the ground not to exceed ten feet in depth has been made. From this and an opening about 300 feet bo. low the vein is discovered, showing it to be a true fissure, ru.iuing northeast and southwest, while the main forma-tion through the immediate country runs northwest and southeast, carrying a porphyry dike which tips the line to the southwest and along which at irregular intervals the following named mines, the property of Mr. Gilsou) have been ' opened: 'Ihe Washington. Yellow Jacket, Saddle Kock. Sun Shine and Virginia. At the location points of these mines the fissures seem to break through the porphyry dike. The width of the Uiickhorn vein is from twelve to fourteen feet and the distance as traced to date about 1000 feet, all carrying pay ore. The dip is almost perpendicular, with porphyry foot wall and a possible second vein on the northwest. 'Ihe hanging wall is of limestone with veins of ciav about a foot in thickness which runs from 800 to 100 ounces in silver with some gold. Tho development work of this mine has not been as as in oiher mines by reason of than CO per cent lead and I'i ounces in silver. It is a true tissure vein running across the formation and is n most won-derful sight to behold. The FKANCI3 MINE shows but little development but in character of oro is about the same as the Mono, except that the vein is fdund in a lime formation. The JilMiTAIL is a huge mine having not less than one thousand tons of concentrating ore in sight, which will run 'JO per cent lead and 5 ouces silver on a general average. The deposit in this lode is about 20 feet, without walls, except the mineral itself, on either side. A shaft of 85 feet in depth has been sunk in tho ore body. Large quantities of first class ore has been uncovered, several tons of which has been shipped to Salt Lake, bring-ing an average return of $;i3 per tou. The monakch No. 2 is a twin to the Bob Tail except that it contains heavy bodies of iron surround-ing the mineral vein. 'The HAUIilSON having the same general features of the other mines shows an assay of 40 per cent lead and fi ounces of silver with no walls found at a depth of ten foet; and tho r.F.oitr.E b. the last of this group, shows a hard car-bonate ore runuing 50 per cent lead and 8 ounces silver, with vein three feet wide and tracing the full length of the mine. Since your correspondent arrived here Messrs. P. B. Haslet, S. II. Gordon and I). A. F.ngler have discovered sev-eral good prospects. Among their claims are the Accidental, which bids fair to rank among the leading lead mines of the district, but their pet is the Headlight which seems to be one of the richest finds yet discovered. An' assay from an ounce of surface ore gave them a button of pure silver half the size of an ordinary pea, indicating not loss than 100 ounces of silver. The young gentlemen are highly elated over their find. Messrs. J. V. Sullivan, M. F. Shee-han- , A. K. Delticqles and V. 11. Urb of Salt Lake, have been fortunate in the location of their mine Pelican which connects on the east end of the Buck-hor-and exteuds in an easterly di-rection covering a fraction between the Buckhorn and Ku Klux. also between the Ku Klux and Gold Nugget. In ad-dition to this claim they have located four other lodes named Jumbo. Pan Handle, Stem Winder, and Hocky Mountain, all of which are pronounced by older miners as good linds.
