So the importance of the local Held becomes apparent. OuIkMp Capital Interested ItIs reported on good authority that a party of capitalists and engineers will visit this locality in the next few days to go over the properties with a view to investing money In the field, and decis- ions of consequences will then be arrived at, we are Informed. This Is a big undertaking, and naturally will call for adequate financing, either by private interests of through Government aid. No doubt it will call for the location here of reduction works to extract the values, shus saving excessive transportation facilities so vital to the war effort. The beauty of the new discovery is in the fact that it Is all opened up and exposed to view. All the work needed to be done in order to begin taking out the precious ore, Is to clean out the old tunnel, lay some track for cars, and begin digging out the product. Water, timber and a good road are all close at hand. It is a perfect set-u- p and should start immediate activities. Mr. and Mrs. Al Barton, who are engaged in defense work at Tooele, came down to spend Memorial day at Beaver and vis-- It friends and relatives here and in Greenville. They were accompanied by Mrs. Frank Stoddard and children, who are guests of Mrs. Stoddard's mother, Mrs. Anderson. At the Sunday evening services in the West ward, Elder and Mrs. Milton Uogerson of Salt Lake City and Miss Helen Barton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Barton, who has recently returned from a two-yemission In the New England States, were the speakers.
