Show 1 DEEP CREEK This country so well known to time mining fraternity and yet so little developed de-veloped by 1 reason of Its Isolntlon from market deserves the earnest consideration consid-eration of experienced mining men who I have capital to invest II is probably the most extensive and the most highly mineralized district of country withIn the Intelmountain belt and yet for tho singIe reason stated It has been allowed I al-lowed to lay dormant for the past twenty twen-ty years A large majority of the properly prop-erly owners arc composed of poor prospectors and ranchmen The first being only able to perform thou assessment as-sessment work from yeir to yeir and the latter having their lime preoccupied pre-occupied upon their ranches except during dur-ing the winter months Tho minority the class who have been able to develop de-velop their mining Interests are non rcsklo ls who as rapidly as a sufilclont amount of work has been performed have procured Government patents and then with the other two classes have patiently awaited the advent of a rail oad The twentyone organized districts represent not more than onethird of the territory known as belonging to Lime Deep Crook country the mountain ranges of which are all highly mineralized min-eralized and It I can justly be said very indifferently prospected This scope of country covers an area of at least seven tyIlve miles square embracing the western parts of Tooclo Juab and Mlllard counties in Utah and an eastern east-ern belt running north and south through White Pine and Elko counties in Nevada with Deep Creek Pleasant and Snake valleys about equally dt vltltd by the mountain ranges from which ample supplies oC hay grain produce and meats can he procured at reasonable prices I The long stretch of
