Show A OUTLOOK an express representative visits chii th carbonate mining district A short time tima ago an express rep visited the carbonate Car bonatt mining district in ia county for foi the first time and to say that our expectations wore were more than realized would be putting it mildly indeed from what we had hoard heard we expected to find a taw few old prospect pio boles abandoned and caved in an old cabin or two and a pinched out pocket of copper oro ore commonly called the dyer mine I 1 he old prospect holes boles and dereiter deRei ted cabins we found it ik is true which are to be seen in any mining district but we will venture to say eay that every one of the cabins would be occupied and dozens of others built in a short time if some enterprising company would become interested and put up a smelter in this locality to treat the low grade ore to be found ou on the dumps of a or more of the in the carbonate district there is no question but that urn fall fah county will have a mining camp equal to any in the state as boon us as she gets a smelter to treat the lo 10 grade ore or a railroad through the country As it is bome of the oro pays paya a handsome dividend ater after the long wagon haul of miles to the ho railroad but this is hauling too much rock and the low grade mines to be found on eiery hand are laying dormant the assessment work is IH kept up however which IR ift conclusive evidence anat the venerable tor or proposes prop obos obes to hold on to a good thing and that the camp will spring into a steady producer as soon boon as we wa get geb the much needed smelter the showing for the depth gained is very flat flattering tring aud and acknowledged by all who have visited the camp to be a jetter better showing than two thirds of the mining camps have on the start starl isolated aa M we are atom the outside settlements by mountains and badlands it is next to impossible to induce capital to come in but there is a blight future for uintah county N mth ith her many natural resources and sho she will bloom as the rose in the future on oa reaching the old camp called paison nicon city wo we discovered that the air m as filled with i ith that peculiar scent aich acquaints one of the fact that be ie is nearing a sheep camp amp and upon entering the once flourishing burg wo found that the lost last sojourner thero there lad had born bon a sheep heider with his hi flachs doors and windows wore ore brilca down and the place presented a dilapidated appearance it OP ap pears peara to bo be the natural location for a tom botn a site alto for the M asti act and will undoubtedly be rebuilt vi ben aben work ork on the mines is resumed refi umed farther up tho amid tall call spruce and bilics we encile upon the big four caisip of tome hall half dozen cabins and about as many teota tents the owners of 0 tho the big four prop erty bt erling culton colton ho own a cont controlling roling interest john mock black and wm donaher donahe ar bavo beon been pushing ausbin ft wilc aik this summer and lave have out and shipped tons toni of good ore which will average 50 per cent copper arid and brings 65 per ton ion the ore does not come from a defined vein or but is simply float boat and Is IB picked up here bore and there on the hill bill hidu tho the workings reminding one cue of where a setting hen has baa been scratching fr grubs on a stoop lull hill side hide at tho the bottom of the hill bill this ore is found at a depth of twelve feet but higher up only one to foot deep which certainly looks like it il lit ia a slide from the dyer mile above the owners intend to do some prospecting on the claim this winter and it is the intention to run a tunnel at the bottom of the hill bill to ascertain the extent of theore the ore thirty two men had been employed on this prop property eity but the be foice was cut down to twelve the day before our arrival and in a chort time work for this will be shut donin altogether owing to the inclemency of the weather in that locality ln in company with our frend donaher a few of tho moat prominent mines were ere visited the dyer OL 01 victoria copper raine has bos in all about 1000 ft 0 of wol I 1 tunnels shafts and dring drifts the lower tunnel is ia WO ft fac in length and at the benl enl of the tunnel thero thera is it a ft deep with two deith leading oft off one to the southwest ft and one to tho the east cast ft both of them cutting streaks of rich copper oro ore with canalo in hand band the EXPRESS man was conducted through through tho the whole business and we must confess that we breathed a little easier when wo vo returned to the light of day ia a the walls were caving in several places and tho cho entrance of the tunnel is not ia as safe as it might bo the timbering in the upper tunnel is badly cracked and is ui unsafe i consequently wo we did not venture in the body of copper was encountered in the upper tunnel and although tons were shipped there is now about tons on the dump that will run from 40 to 80 per cent copper the litigation i has been settled and it is IB thought that work will bf ba resumed sinned re as soon as the difficulty of settling up the expense of lawing is satisfactorily adjusted it will take considerable time and money to re timber and put the mine in working order the Ilar ll arnson riBon adjoining the dyer on the
