Ihere aro some rich gold ores also in available form, and as tho?e will bo coming into tho market during the coin-nig coin-nig siunnier, tho Hecla gives promise of excelling its 1908 rjcord. The company com-pany is composed of well known Salt Lake talent. Star District. To the Star district is due great credit or the" results gained last season. The Moscow is a well demonstrated mine, having gone. to depths and proved the continuity of its .resources. Near it is the Bed Wnrrior group, which was taken in hand early in tho year by W. J. Merritt and associates of Dul'uth. . Mr. Merritt threw away all the old ideas in Star district mining and drovo a new shaft at a point wbero others would hardly have concentrated thoir effort without as careful an examination examina-tion of the group as ha had given it. The result was that on the 160-foot level he encountered, a very large and rich body of carbonate ores, which haB provided a considerable tonnage during the past year. Tho Bed "Warrior was one of the sensations of mining in that section of Utah last year, and as tho management had proved tho 'ore on the level below that on which ore was first found,, tho future of the property seems assured. M. Morritt then took charge of another an-other property nearby, called tho Mow-itza. Mow-itza. On, this group he proceeded to another pioco of original and daring development work, with the- result that he unearthed, another fine carbonate oro body similar to" that on the Bed "Warrior. These two groups, therefore, havo provided much food for excitement excite-ment down in Beaver, and the shipments from the Bed Wnrrior havo about converted con-verted the .world to the real merits of tho St&r district. There aro many Star district properties prop-erties desorving of Bpecial mention, among" them borne tho Hub. Commonwealth. Common-wealth. Moscow Bonanza, Progressive and others, on which much work undoubtedly un-doubtedly will be centered during 1909. This is splendid ground, nnd it is worthy of the attention and capital being attracted at-tracted to it. . In tho North Star district a merger has been hanging fire for several months which, when concluded, will allow al-low '.this section of tho stato to boom as never before. This is tho Cedar-Talin'man Cedar-Talin'man deal, a merger that should bo very near to perfection. Thcso two mines, adjoin, and are known to contain con-tain splendid resources which need only tho miner's pick to bring into marketable market-able form- Beaver county is full of promising sections, but during the ycary effort has not, been expended very far away from tho limits of tho aoovo montioned spots. Tho county ia deserving of more attention, moro work, and this will come in 'duo-time. |
