Show llOiTAlNSJF 01 la the Dug-way District that Promise Bleb Harvests when Propeily Developed. THE LACK OF REAL" EHTERPBISE Not Work Enough . Done to Show tut Character and Extent of the Depoti of Mineral Deep Creak Note. From The Times Beep Creek correspondent. DrowAV. I'tah. May 8, 18111. Since the last report from this point there have been daily discoveries made by both old and new prospecting parties, mostly on the east side of the porphyry belt described in former communications, communica-tions, all of which promise to yield rich harvests when proporly developed. The ores, consisting of gold, silver, copper, cop-per, lead and iron, neem to be proportioned propor-tioned in quantities most advantageous for smelting and milling purposes. In point of quantity it would be a matter of impossibility for any one to state. The mountain sides, tops and valleys are literally covered with lloat which in itself develops by assay a richness seldom, sel-dom, if ever before, equaled in other mining districts. The generality of finds recently inado seem to be peculiar in themselves. From the surface down the deposits of rich ore have the appearance appear-ance of being unlimited iu quantity and in most instances without having either side or loot walls. More extensive exten-sive development may soon uncover this seeming natural want. If so these veins will be the largest known iu the history of mining. As tliey now exist they indicate great mountains and do-posits do-posits of ore. To visitors and mining experts the generftl complaint is (and they are well foundtd) that claim holders do not sufficiently develop de-velop their properties to enable those who might otherwise purchase to arrive at proper values. There is no question ques-tion but that many valuable mines would have been sold here, since the arrival of your reporter, had work enough been done to show the character charac-ter and extent of mineral deposits. This lack of enterprise on the part of claim holders has resulted very disas-tcronsly disas-tcronsly to the district, not only in preventing pre-venting sales that would have been made to men who would work and bring them into market, but in preventing prevent-ing many prospectors and practical miners from locating here, by reason of the territory being staked off and claimed by sharks and speculators who never intend to aid their neighbor claimants to the value of one dollar. It is currently reported that tbero are dozens of claims staked off in this district dis-trict for the solo purpose of preventing outsiders from getting possession cf them, none of which will everstaud the test of iitigatiou. It is only a question will be a matter of but ft hort time be for thoe interested in this district will commence and complete a rod of their own to the nearest point of cou nection hould the citizens of Salt Lakf continue their present eeeming apathy. Your reporter was informed a dy or two ago, by a gentleman who com m ands several hundred thousand dol lars, that "be. with one or two of hit monied friends, had waited longenough, on other," and that a road would be built into Dugway long before next winter' snow flies. All the people here, which mean the group ofi district extending to the Xevadir line, re interested, nd intensely o, in this subject.

The class of leeches referred to are common to all newly discoverod districts. , To thoso desiring to purchase mining prospects pros-pects a few words of advice would not be out of place here. First, never purchase pur-chase a claim upon the face of an assay ccrtilicate the cerlilicate may be ait rigiit but the man who has it as his stock in trade may be all wrong. 2d. If yeu desire to invest your money in a mine it will always pav you to see it first; not the stakes and location monument, but the development work that has been done upon it. See that the veins and deposits are well detined and that the party offering to sell has a just and equitable claim, one that is not subject to contest by prior claimants. By a personal visit to the camps adjacent the history of nil claims worth purchasing at all is easily ascertaiued. It is a very easy matter to secure an assay ccrtili-cato ccrtili-cato showing immense value. As a rule a good mine does not go begging in the market for a purchaser, and the rule holds good that w hen you lind strangers peddling claims of this kind thev will almost invariably bear investigation. inves-tigation. Iu this district there are hundreds hun-dreds of excellent claims, as future development de-velopment will show, but at the present date' very little work has been done, not enough upon one in ten to even approximate ap-proximate their probable worth. The present great want and necessity for the upbuilding of this district and the whole of the Deep Creek and Clifton country is a railroad. With this the bills and mountain sides for a radius of one hundred miles from this place would swarm with workmen in their mines. Tho heavy deposits of ores now in sight are sufficient to constantly work a well equipped road. The mountains moun-tains bristle with the best grade of low grade mineral your reporter has ever seen; in fact this mineral hardly belongs be-longs to the class ordinarily termed low grade. It is almost rich enough to pav for transportation from this point to" Salt Lake by wagou rood. The Times is eagerly read hv all interested in the development of this part of I'tah. Almost the lirst inquiry that is made ai the stage pulls into the station is, "What is the railrond news'?" and "How long do yon think it will be before be-fore work on the road will be commenced?" com-menced?" To these questions your reporter re-porter has had but little information to impart, except to refer to the columns of The Times, in which all railroad news is given.
