A Map Sbowiug the Looation of the New Group A Careful Eeview of the Latest Discoveries of Mineral From The Times' sirial Deep Creek cor. Dlgwav, Utah, May 1S!U. The letter of the !Mth wag dated from this point.since which time your representa-tive has been engaged in looking over the. mountain range surrounding Dug-way and Fish Springs districts. Owing to a halt in the advertised programme of the Peep Creek company' stage plans, it has been necessary to conline investigation within a radius of the miles between this point, Fish Springs and Granite mountain. On Tuesday morning at "iliO a. 111.. in company with Vice President Wallace, General Manager Garrett and Secre-tary Lett, the llrst regular coach pulled out for Fish Springs, thirty miles dis-tant, arriving at 11 a.m. Ihe range of mountains constituting this difl rict faou to the east as yon approach them from Dugway and Granite. In an air line have boen worked for twenty years past, to far as quantities and quality aro concerned. Fiah Sprint" HiMrlet. This district is bounded ou the north by the Clifton district, ou the south bv the Drum district, ou the west by the Trout district, and on the east by the Dugway district. The regulations adopted for the government of the dis-trict are not very exacting. When the explorer finds a vein of mineral all that is necessary to establish his claim is to take the same and show that it has been worked. No amount of ivork y to have it recorded is required, except that it must be recorded withiu twenty days from date of discovery, and if not recorded within that lime the claim is considered vacant, except in case of accident or sickness, when an extension of time is granted. When a claim is in dispute a uotice of ten days time is given prior to a call of a miners' meeting, when the disputants are re-quired to state their points of difference before the meeting for adjudication. Aside from this, the laws of the district possess very little protection for the future guidance of claimants, this deficiency can be reme-died at any time by a meeting of the citizens interested. After perfecting diagrams and giving to this district a thorough investigation your corres-pondent hopes to be enabled to give a more comprehensive review of the min-ing interests at this point. Tim l)uwr lllatrlrt. Within the past week several most important strides have been made hem. store for them. East of this point, at a distance of nine bundled feet, the Argaotina is located, with its lines running with the four points of the compass, (as shown by diagram,) which was also lo-cated by Mr. C. D. Hanks and party. The. rich ore and float secured from this find is equal in value to that of tho best in the district, and has in addition to its similarity to those mentioned, two distinct tracings, the first running east and west along the extension of the mountain range, and tho second cross-ing the first near the western conter of the line at an angle running in a north-east direction from the Huokhorn, which seems to bo a spur from that range. Some exceedingly rich ore was taken from the development work being done on the northeastern vein today. Tho other discoveries shown, the Rose, Terumseh. Monitor, Cum-berland, Matron and Kimball, are all about equal in value, tint by reason of the insullicient timo to make (level-opment-other than assessment work, it is impossible in this writing to give an absolutely rrrregt idea of the true value of either, except to say that by the unanimous opiuion of nil the old miners located here, as well as those who are in the camp from Colorado, Nevada and other mining districts, the finds made within the time stated are unprecedented, not only iu number but in worth. Not. The group of claims owned and con-trolled by Messrs. Sullivan, Deliicqles they are not to exceed eighteen miles apart, but owing to the arm of the des-ert reaching to the south with its low depressions on the western side, in which are a number of small lakes, ponds, swamps and out and inlets front bac to the other, rendering a roadway Impracticable, a detour of several miles to the south has to be made for the j. , purpose of securing a roadbed sullic- - ietitly strong to bear the weight of the ' heavy freight and ore wagons to the Dugway slopes on the eastern side of the wido stretch of desert interven-ing. During our morning ride over this part of tho territory we passed several ' teams, loaded with ore, en route for Salt Lake and as we neared the marshy bottoms near the Fish Springs mountains sev-eral piles of ore, sacked for market, were passed piled along the roadside which were abandoned by the freight-ers until such time as the road crust may become strong enough to bear their weight. At this point, aud for a distance of about three miles, the road is very treacherous, and especially so during the early spring months, cover-ing the season when the spring rainfall lasts. This difficulty is soon overcome by the heat of the sun which bakes the surface to an almost macadamized The camp has been under a fever of ex-- citoment from day today as first one and then another new "discovery has b en reported. To a person subject to being carried away by the tide of ex-citement a sane report, under the pe-culiar influences brought to bear at such a time could hardly be expected, but without ever having been accused of being egotistical, or subject to hectic spells of this kind, your representative has taken tho trouble to deliberately walk over the ground look into the openings made, examine the surround-ings, and in short, make a map of the territory and when not posted upon doubtful points, seek those of better ex-perience and from this source make up his verdict. To the end that the read-ers of The Timks may form a correct conception of the locations referred to a correct diagram of the new group is herewith submitted showing the connection the claims therein repre-sented have to tho famous Buckhorn or Gilson, mine, which by a reference to the diagram published in the issue of April 2!th, will show that the new finds aro located directly opposite, but on the north side of the porphvry belt therein shown. The first find in the group was made by Philip 15oyle, aud is known as Laons, Tho ore taken from this discovery, from the surface down, is wonderfully rich both in gold and silver, and in and Sheehan of Salt Lake, known as the Pelican, Jumbo, Pn Handle and Ku Klux the latter belonzingto the Buckhorn group, was bonded to tho above gentlemen yesterday. By ob-taining this claim they have completed their group. The Pelican covers a fraction between the Buckhorn and Ku Klux. This property has been re-ported to be of creat promise. Work will be commenced early next week, the company putting on four men at first and increasing the force as occa-sion may require. Assays showing from forty-fou- r ounces in silver and six ounces in gold, and from l'JO ounces in silver to 12 ounces in gold have been obtained from the various outcrops on the veins on the claims named. Ship-ments of ore from these claims will commence within a faw days. A very valuable discovery named the Moose Head was made this week by Arthur Broughton. adjoining the town site of Buckhorn City. Arthur is happy over bis liud. No assay made. I'ronal . Messrs. G. K. F'ulton of Montrose, Colo., W. C. Duncan of Denver, and L. F;imendorlT, proprietor of the St. i;imo hotel, of Salt Lake, came in on the first regular coach ruu, last Tuesday night. Messrs. Fulton and Duncan returned to Salt Lake on F riday in company with Dr. Garrett, who wanted to see his wife and family before entering upon tho summer campaign. conditiou. The townsit? of Fiah Springs is loca-ted at the foot of tho eastern slope of the mountain range and about three miles distant from the principal mining camps, a diagram of which is herewith submitted. At the present time the town has a population of about thirty or forty people, two stores, ono saloon und boarding house, and an excellent corral for stock. On the opposite side of the main street is an excellent spring of water from which the public is sup-plied. Messrs Millor & Miller, and J. J. Thomas & J. J. Thomas jr., are the merchants from whom the miners and citizens receivo their staples, while J, C Clay & l J. Marin furnish tho fluids in cases of snake bites or other causes creating a demand. Messrs. Thomas iV--, Thomas are also the keepers of tho boarding house and corral, where ac-commodations for tho traveling public are readily secured. The plat of ground upon which the town ia located is hand-somely situated and should tho district grow into importance as a mining belt, the timo is not far distant when a handsome little city will be built at ' this point. During our short stay at Fish Springs your representative had the pleasure of meeting with a large number of its citizens, all of whom are interested in mining. Among the 11111 jyT lsr fV DArs. Cjj C. II. Schen of Aspen. Col., John W. Tylor of Dayton, ()., and Mark Simon of Philadelphia. I'a., came in on Friday's slage, since which time they have been looking over the several min-ing properties with a view of posting themselves for future investment. Their trip from Salt Lake to this point was fraught with adventure and experience such as is seldom experienced by trav-elers, except those w ho happen to come this way. Notwithstanding the hard-ships endured in tho way ot the .loss of city romforts, and by travelinur over the desert through the heal of the sun and the chill of the night, they all seemed to enjoy themselves, and in taking their departure expressed their entire satis-fastio-with what they had seen as well as to the future of Dugway's great min-ing possibilities. Messrs. K. N. Watterman and J. S Johnson, of Salt Lake, are among the recent arrivals iu camp as prospectors. They called to see The Times reporter yesterday, and to express the'r appre-ciation of the efforts being madn by the present management in behalf of the mining interests of I'tah. V. VV. Stoddard of Salt Lake is com-fortably fixed in the city of Buckhorn, ami highly pleased with his prospects, i Mr. M. Hansen of Aspen, Colo., ar- - rived in camp today iu company with Mr. Mills.

These people aro all enthusiastic over their mining proper-ties and loud in their praise of the course Tub Times is pursuing in behalf of the mining interests of Utah gener-ally, and the new districts in this part of the territory in particular. Amoug the most important mines now being worked in the district are the Galena, Fmma, Utah Wild Cat, Last Chance Nos. 1 and 2, May Flower, Cinnamon hear, Ulack Itear, Iron Clad and Minnie. Of these tho Galena seems to be the most important, or in other words, the most thoroughly worked. I Up to date from this mine over 500 I sacks of ore have been shipped this I spring. As a whole, the mineral being I shipped from this district is very rich. I The cost of transportation alone is I about i 'O per ton. This added to the I treatment it has to 'undergo at the I smelting works, must from necessity, I rank it among the best ot high I grade ore. With railway facilities I the mines embraced within the 1 four or five districts skirtiug the mouu-- I ain range from Dugway west to Fish I Springs, Deep Creek and Clifton would I iive Inch rank to this part of Utah. I The developments now made, which I cannot be considered as anything more I than a mere commencement, are far in I adtaneo of mines ia old districts which point of value is considered to bo equal to the Buckhorn, if not superior. A description of this mine cannot bo given at tho present lime for the reason that the work done to date seems to be iu a solid deposit of ore, without hang-ing or foot walls. The ore from the surface to the level of tho drift which is not to exceed five feet, is exceedingly rich, showing a value that a ventured statement might be hundreds of dollars to low. F'rom the prospect work done on this discovery twelve feet of ledge matter exhibits the whole as equal in value. The second surprise w as the discovery of the Qxrmania and Two Strike (Connnlldatcill. These claims were discovered about the same time aud owing to a conllict in staking them, Messrs. O. I). Hanks, 8. H. Lynch, J. H. Harnett and tho Cleghorn brothers, concluded to con-solidate the two claims in equal part-nership, both being about of tho same surface value. Investigation has developed rich deposits of copper, black sulphurets, silver and gold. Tho float from which this lodo w as discov-ered was first found by sheep herders several years ago, but diligent search frequently made since that time has al-ways resulted in failure, uniil by for-tune's favor, Mr. Hanks with his party discovered it a week aeo. The.--e two claims joins and corners with the Leona, both of which will equally share thr fortunes the future may have in THE TITLTO1ITED.

W, Fowler vs. Waller Williams, Thomas Goodman, William G Westward and the board of education of Sail Lake. Tho last named defendant for its sep-arate and independent answer, dis-claims all right, title and interest in or to the ground in question and asks a dismissal against it. The action is oi ouk'iii to quiet me line upon uu . block in plat I , ami embraces 100 square rods of ground, which was originally the property of the Fifty-firs- t school district of Sail Lake, and held by the defendants as trustees. Ou July I, a meeting of resident tax pajers was held at which tho trustees allego they were au-thorized to sell said lot to W. T. for a consideration of JilUoO. The salo was made under and by this authority, Plaiulilf states that ho is now advised that by reason of the fact that as said meeting failed to state the purpose of the sale, his title is defective and he asks that his title be quieted. In support of tho complaint the trus-tees w ere put upon the stand and that the sale hail been made to secure funds with which to construct a school building.

There is a rumor ing tho rounds that this company has let contracts for the first portion of a line to connect Salt Lake and Los Angeles. Work is to be commenced at Milford and built south on lines pretty much the same as those of the Union Pacific's recent surveys iu that country.
