When there was filed last Friday in the local land office a survey map of the proposed line of railroad into-Deep Creek from Tintie Junction, .cheer was realized by hundreds of claim owners and prospectors having hopes pinned to what is declared to be an extremely rich mineral part of Utah. All of them declared de-clared that as soon as . the railroad is built through it." there will be a boom out that way which should quickly increase in-crease the copper, lead and -silver ton-sage ton-sage of the State quite materially. The railroad will tap-the Enckson and also what is known as West Tintie districts, altogether representing an area twenty-five to fifty miles square, which is almost wholly located, and-in which a great deal of not only prospecting, prospect-ing, but much development has bees done. N. A. Peterson of Salt Lake today explained . that the proposed railroad will run over as old grade established fifteen. years ago, asd from which the timber was cut. Something happened, he said, that. prevented the projectors of ' the railroad then contemplated, from building it. "If the road is built now," he further fur-ther explained, "you will see a lively i period of development all through the Erickson and West Tintie - countries. Both of them are very rich in lead and copper. I believe that the country, however, how-ever, is all a copper-bearing region when depth is gained. Copper float abounds over it all. The hills are high enough to secure 600 to 800 feet depth from the surface on the veins, and the veins are wide and undoubtedly quite in place when 500 to 1000 feet depth shall have been reached. From the surface workings of various vari-ous properties a great i deal of high grade ore picked out of the large bodies of low grades has been hauled out on wagons. But it is primarily a low grade country, however, of vast resources, re-sources, having big bodies, and also water wa-ter facilities for concentrating mills. I look to see a large number of such plants go in there as soon as the railroad rail-road gets in. "About thirty miles west of Eureka, in the Erickson district (so named because be-cause Jacob and Albert Erickson have worked in there for years), are two properties which are T especially noteworthy note-worthy at this time as proving what the mineral resources are; The Copper Jack is as good a copper prospect as can be found anywhere in Utah. It is owned v various people around Eureka. Picked samples of copper from this ground run very high, and the owners are sinking to reach the ore body. They are led on to follow this program by the fact that there are streaks and stringers of copper cutting through the surf see formations every few feet in all directions. "On the Free Coinage and Copper King groups, embracing ten claims, crystallized lead and copper float are scattered all over the surface and the Erickson boys have accomplished considerable con-siderable development. They have worked there for sixteen years, at such times . and when their resources would allow, and there is ore in a shaft sixty feet deep, ore in a tunnel 110 feet long and also ore in several more shallow workings. The most substantial showing, however, how-ever, is in the long tunnel' wherein the ore is opened over a distance of sixty to seventy-five feet. This ore runs lo to 20 per cent lead and eight to ten ounces silver, and there is no doubt in my mind that when there shall have been secured a greater depth these values val-ues will coma is very much stronger. "Everything that has been done in that country was the result of prospectors' pros-pectors' high estimation of the resources re-sources and their undying faith in its fnture. But little capital has been en- Mfisa' 1.17H 1.20 Cridie:.... ....... :so Can.

OSE AND BULLION. Copper'was higher today in the local market than - during the last . week, gaining 9 cents per hundred pounds, and the quotation being 1 21.78 per kundjed -pounds. In this connection it Is interesting for the producers to read - i. telegram from Boston, which arrived today, and that says: '"Large metal interests say that 25-eent 25-eent .'copper is. i sight in spite of the recent apparent attempt of Amalgamated Amalga-mated interests to. break the market. '"Amalgamated action was taken in tne 'interests of producers, as a higher topper market is not for their best future fu-ture interests and the utimate effect is sound . to be bad. In the meantime |
