The air is invigorating and healthful. The scenery is wonderful, and the water, the mountains and the lakes combine to make it ideal from the excursionist's standpoint. The fishing fish-ing is fine, as the ocean and the streams abound with fish." DEEP CKEEK OEE. The Kinsey Development company, composed of Salt Lake people, operating operat-ing the Dottia group of copper claims in the Deep Creek region of Nevada, j has hundreds of tons on the dumps which will assay 20 to 40 per cent copper. cop-per. . This information comes in a letter from James A. Faust, who is inspecting Deep Creek. He found the old Morning Morn-ing Star mine under rejuvenation successfully, suc-cessfully, it being under lease to William Wil-liam Kane and Arthur Sunderland. They have forty tons ready sacked and waiting for teams. The lessees anticipate antici-pate a net return of ,$60 a ton. The Keronge mine, under Newt Dun-yon, Dun-yon, Jr., has ore twelve feet wide of copper, and alongside a vein of lend from which shipments are yielding $65 a ton net, after being wagoned seventy miles to the railroad. Many other good properties are being be-ing developed in this district. PEOVO PBOJECT IN NEVADA. Provo people, owners of several promising claims in the Duck Creek district of eastern Nevada, yesterday gave notice that they will develop these properties by electing a new board of directors for their Lead Bullion Bul-lion Mining and Millingcompany. I. II. Heindselman, Geortfe vV. Ofe, Albert Singleton, D. H. Thomas and Arnold L. Hines are leaders in this enterprise. The claims are being pierced by a tunnel. tun-nel. J. C. Leetham and John . Strong have charge of .the work, which is being be-ing prosecuted at a point but eight miles from the new Nevada (e Northern North-ern railway, and the distance over which the ores will be hauled to the cars is so comparatively short that the company ' anticipates practical operations opera-tions can now be prosecuted, whereas remoteness from rail communication hereof ore has prevented the development develop-ment of this ground. It will be seen, therefore, that the influence of the railroad construction mentioned is having the stimulating influence which was expected in opening open-ing the rich mineral resources of the eastern part of the State. The prospects pros-pects have existed there for years in idleness, and the holdings have merely been retained by prospectors who patiently pa-tiently waited the time that has now arrived. The company mentioned as having headquarters in Provo and organized to work in the Duck Creek district is but one of many that are preparing to get into action there, it is in tne same vicinity that the Keith-Kearns-Mc-Donald. syndicate is opening what is expected to be a second bilver King mine, and the particulars of which were published ten days ago. Innumerable Innu-merable prospectors are individually hammering away on assessment work, and capital is seeking investments among tnem, as a result of which many other companies may be anticipated to be working during the coming year. NEVADA OUTLOOK. The Nevada outlook for investors and operators is sucienctly pictured by last Saturday 's market letter of Taylor & Griffiths, brokers of Khyolite, and who say: 'The. feature in the Bullfrog stock market is the activity in Golden Scepter Scep-ter and Montgomery Mountain, which sold around 31 the first part of the week and suddenly advanced to 47Tc.

Bice of Salt Lake ays a great many things regarding . that country which have interesting ' phases for the mining men of the States. ' "The cold output this year," he ex-. ex-. plains, "is far greater so far than for the entire season of 1905. All the men practically whp are coming out now are placer miners and operators, and more Interested in gold than copper. But I am satisfied that when the inland regions re-gions are prospected great Copper finds will be made, as reports indicate that it is rich in the red metal. "Back Of Valde the Guggenheims have eighty men at work on a copper mine and are building a railroad from Valdez into what is known as the Copper Cop-per River region, which will give that ' territorv a f?Tat impetus. Without . railroads Alaska prospecting is ex- tremelv trying and costly. . "La'bor conditions are good, as the ' Bnssians have nearlv all left Alaska, and Americans are doing most of the ' development, but it is not a .Poor man's country. Living is high and the . conditions are hard. The time will come, however, when it will furnish opportunities for the poor man. "Eight hundred men are at work at the Treadwell mines on Douglas island. They receive $8 per dav of eight hours. ' The Treadwell is dropping 900 stamps, and the district is prosperous." -Mr. Bice visited the Northwest, however, how-ever, primarily for a vacation, with bis family, and speaking of its scenic and tourist attractions, he said: .
