DONT FORGET YOUR MOTHER on Mothers Day Sunday, May 9th Many Gifts to Choose From MAKE YOUR SELECTIONS NOW AT C L hv 4 'C Western Gold HI fights, milling ventures, INDIAN from poison and wealth a single-handegold mining operation are some of the colorful features in the history of Gold Hill at the western end of Tooele county, Utah. Officially the area Is the Clifton Its metropolis is Mining district. a "ghost town, of about 30 inhabitants, 190 miles west of Salt Lake City and 43 miles south of Wendover, with which it is connected by rail. Prospectors, heading toward California, were Intrigued by gold specimens in 1853, but it was not until 1369 that white men subdued the Indians and began real mining. A district was organized in that year. By 1S80 some 500 claims had been located of which about 50 were being worked sporadically. Shipping being precluded by distance and poor roads, smelting was undertaken on a small scale in 1871 and 1872. The combined efforts of the promotors resulted in the recovery of a few hundred tons of lead bullion containing silver. From 1877 little was doing in the new camp until 1892 when Col. J. F. Woodman, with a fortune made at Tintic, came looking for gold. Acquiring the Cane Springs and Alvarado groups, he installed a small amalgamating mill. With an average recovery of $10 a ton the mill saved in four years, it is reported, about $300,000. Woodmans death in 1897 halted operations. The copper boom of 1905 focused attention on the red metal. Obtaining several properties near Gold Hill, Duncan MacVichie and associates organized the Wettern Tjtah shaft Copper Co., sank a and procured the building of the railroad branch from Wendover. When the boom subsided, only 104,-00-0 tons of copper ore had been shipped and the company was glad to sell its mine to Frank Rowley, a textile manufacturer of Rhode Island. Ignoring copper, Rowley went after scorodlte, an arsenic ore then in great demand to supinvasion of the press a cotton fields. This paid well while the lasted. More arsenic was developed in a property owned by Jacob Gerster. Its sale brought him $50,000. The claims passed eventually to the United States Smelting, Refining & Mining Co. Arsenic ceased to be profitable, but silver, gold and lead in the shipments were more encouraging and may cause the property, now d smelting company. Smaller, but more remunerative were the operations of Leffler Palmer in a little gold mine known as the "Rube, near Gold Hill. Palmer discovered it himself after his return from the World war and, by himself, picked gold from a seam that was to bring him a small fortune. It was spoken of as the "one man mine. The slowly-filled cars brought Palmer about $6,000 each from the smelter. Over a period of several years he Is said to have extracted about $112,000 In gold at a total expense of In 1933 Mr. Palmer accepted the bid of a Los Angeles moving picture actor for the Rube. An attempt to increase production by widening the cut diluted the ore to such an extent that deficits replaced profits and the mine was $22,-00- closed down. The Cane Springs mine, Idle after the death of Col. Woodman, was leased in 1931 by Salt Lake City operators. For two years the operation was carried on with success. Approximately 2000 tons of ore of an average value of $10.78 per ton was shipped to a Salt Lake smelter. As depth Increased heavier machinery was needed. A New York syndicate was interested and formed a company to take over the lease and option. Water and other troubles made the work unprofitable and led to the failure of the company. The Cane Springs has since been idle. The recorded production of the Gold Hill region up to 1930 has been: al production of around $3,000,000 is not a great contribution to the states economic importance, nevertheless the region has given employment to many people at times as many as 150 men and it has supported a tew people at all times. In the writer's opinion, the arsenic deposits are able to supply a very large tonnage of ores if and when there is a market for arsenic. The gold deposits are numerous, though comparatively small, and these can be developed into profitable small-scaloperations that will last for many years. e School Board Tours District To Inspect Plant Groceries!
