Show Mining Development Bringing Results Active Development Work Now Being Done On Three Properties, Prom-Iscs Prom-Iscs With tho Advent of Spring to Commence n Steady Stream of Ore Out of the Canyon Tbnt Will Make This Ono of the Liveliest Cities In the Stntc. That tho tlmo is cIobo for tho great awakening of tho American Fork canyon can-yon mines Is tho prediction of all who aro conversant with tho activities now going on up there. Tho new strlko in tho Mineral Flat seems to bo fiTJTOlng out well and promises to fulfill tho prophetic hopes of Uncle Jcsso Knight. The work being done by Peto Miller Mil-ler and his Dlngham' associates on the Pacific mlno promises to open a fine ledge nt great depth, and will demonstrate demon-strate moro than anything ever before be-fore attempted tho permanency of the big deposits supposed to Ho deposited thore. Tho Day State and other promising prom-ising properties aro preparing to do somo vigorous prospecting In tho spring, nnd altogether indications arc that thero will bo moro activities In tho canyon In the coming year than nt any tlmo sluco tho bonanza days of forty years ago. Another district that has been neglected ne-glected for years, but which promises to bo a leading factor In tho coming awakening, in tho Deor Creek section. where Mr. J. E. Teotor and Salt Lake associates aro quietly developing tho old Stowart property, lying between Deer Creek and Silver Lnko Flat. Concerning. this property a Salt Lokt "Four feet of well mineralized vein mnttor has been encountered In the Stowart property In Deor Crcok, off Amorlcnn Fork canyon, according to J. E. Teeter, gcnoral manngor of the company, who Is down from tho mlno for n fow days. Tho tunnel Is now In a llttlo over 200 feet nnd rapid progress pro-gress is being mndo with tho now drills that havo been installed. Supplies Sup-plies have been put In and it is tho intention to work Btcndlly all wlntor. Tho ground is bronklng easily and recently n round of six holes, each five and onc-hnlf feet, was put In within nn hour and 40 minutes. A driller and n helper Ib nblo to keep four mon mucking nt present. Tho ore thnt wns oncountored Is henvy In pyrites. Mr. Tcoter brought tn a number of samples which ho i having assayed. Theso ho believes will carry good values although tho nver-ago nver-ago of tho oro, ho expects, will bo low-grade low-grade Tho oro, ho believes, will carry consldorablo gold and a small amount of sllvor, Tho Stownrt proporty has been well equipped with nn engine, compressor and drills. It Is tho Intention to push tho work on through tho vein nnd got grenter depth. As booh as tho tunnel Iiiib boon extended a few hundred feet mora n cross cut will bo sent out to open up ono of tho big fissures thnt cuts through tho proporty. In tho old workings tho company hns about 20 tons of oro sacked, which will average $110 a ton. This oro was takon out In doing development work. Tho proporty Includes olght patent, oil claims and n sploudld mill slto in Silver Fork canyon. At somo future dnto u tunnel Is to bo run in from Sllvor Fork which will crosscut tho outlro formntlon. This will glvo a direct di-rect uvonuo for tho transportation of oro to n mill should tho company decide de-cide to build one. Tho Stowart proporty Is ono of tho old mines of tho camp and shipment of rich oro woro mndo from It nt the time that MnJ. Wilkes had a .small smoltor at tho mouth of Amorlcai "ork canyon."
