Cains achieved during 1967 Area of by the South-Centrthe Utah National Parks Coun cil, Boy Scouts of America, are evidence of Scouting to youth needs of today, according to Paul Turner 'council field director. The Scout program in this area of the council is an important part of the activities of 2,374 boys who are Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Exan increase of three plorers percent over the previous year Mr. Turner reported. The area includes the districts of North Sevier, Sevier," South Sevier, Wayne, Beaver, Panguitch and Garfield. "One of the measurements of what we call 'quality program' is the advancement pro gram of the Boy Scouts of America," Mr. Turner said. "Our Cubs, Scouts and Explorers earned 1,016 rank advancements during 1967. This compares to 842 during 1966. 28 Scouts and Explorers earned the Eagle Scout Award dur ing 1967 compared to 20 earned during 1966." The camping and training records for 1967 also show an increase over 1966. In the 7 districts, 98 percent of all of the boys between the ages of 8 and 17 are registered in the Scouting program. Mr. Turner said that this national record speaks for itself. He said the key to Scouting is Scouting's volunteer leaders and their dedication and enthusiasm for the program. al WEEKLY PRESS DF.CEMBEB ,21, 1906 MINES AND MINERALS EEAVER COUNTY .. OF The mining industry in Beaver County is receiving more attention than for twenty years. Properties that have bewi idle since the 80's are being reopened and development work is revealing rich bodies oi ore, such as was mined in the balmy, bygone days when Matt Cullen, Green Campbell, "Bill" Martin and others were such a power in the different camps of the county. We are slowly but surely recovering from a chain of circumstances that at one time seemed to spell ruin to every one engaged in the business. Silver the plaything of unprincipled speculators, lead did not sell for what it cost to mine it. Our gold discoveries were discredited abroad and copper was almost an unknown quantity. The lead and silver producing mines were shut down, the smelters ceased to turn out bars of bright bullion and were dismantled and torn down, and all that seemed left for the mineral industry to do was to die a premature death, due to exhaustion and general debility. Capitalists balked at the very idea of investing their money in Bea-vCounty, too much "Wild Cat" many of them claimed. One or two mines continued to produce a limited tonage. The old Horn Silver did hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of prospecting during those "dead" years. The French Company tried to do something with the now famous Cactus, but made a dismal failure in everything but spending French money. Dissappointment and disaster seemed to lurk in every corner, but at last the tide of misfortune and mismanagement has been stemmed, and men are now at the helm who have foresight and business ability, coupled with the necessary money to develop and make dividend payers of scores of mines, which have been a drug in the market for so long. Much has been accomplished in tha last 3 or 4 years. Much remains yet to be done before Beaver County gains the point nature intended her to occupy. But we are now on the highway to permanent prosperity, and with, in the next five years we will be producing the precious metals in such quantities as to place us at the head of the list of great producers. in the Newton District there are a number of fine gold propositions, thn chiefest of which is perhaps the "Shep Rock". It is said by those who claim to know, that plenty of pay ore is blocked out, and that the mine colud be worked at a good profit, but the management seems to be playing a game of fraezeont with the small holders, and as a cansequencs the property lies idle instead of being a source of revenue. "White The "Helen McGregor" Chief" and some other claims with good ore bodies exposed, lie in this district. Newton District is also the home of the once famous "Rob Roy" from which samples were taken worth $50,000 per ton. A great many of the best informed mining men still have rr faith in this .property, and believe it will yet make good its golden promise of years ago. This district is the home of the yellow metal, and with the recent discoveries being made on the Kimberly side of the mountain, prospectors and capitalists will naturally turn their attention to the thousands of gold bearing lodges on this side. With the result that just as great mines will develop as are contained in the Gold Mountain district. Coming further into the west brings us into the Granite District, which at present is claiming a great deal of attention from mining men in general. For many years is was known that rich bodies of ore lay hidden away in this granite capped range, and recent developments prove conclusively not only that is there, but that it is of great extent, and that copper is as plentiful as lead, silver and iron. A recent shipment from the "Oak Leaf netted the owners $30 per ton. Equally interesting returns have been made from numerous cairns in this district. Lincoln District is coming to the front with a fine showing in copper and other metals, and as the American Exploration and Development Company, with ample means at theis disposal, have taken over some big holding in this district, we may confidently expect to see regular shipments being made from here before long. Milford. Star, Rocky and Beaver Lake Districts are so closely interwoven that their interest are almost identical, what affects one, has cond siderable bearing on the others, being the common center at which all business is done for the surrounding country. The Majstic Company is perhaps the largest individual holder in this section the Old Hickory, Harrington Hickory, Majestic and other producing mines being owned and operated by them. Beaver Lake, strictly speaking, is a copper proposition; while the other metals are in good evidence, copper will form the back bone, and be the greatest source of revenue in this district. Star, on the other hand, Is a silver lead producing camp, although rich copper deposits are being encountered in sufficient quantities to make the camp flourishing and prosperous. A good representation of local capital is invested in the surrounding districts. Much development work has already been done, and a great deal more will be done before spring when most of the properties will go into tha markets with their products and the death knell to hard times in the county will be sounded. Very litlie need be said of Frisco, as the Home Silver has made a record lor the past 30 years which has kept that district prominently before the mining world. This mine alone has built up several collosal fortunes for the lucky stock holders and hag paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars for labor and materiall, mrst of which has been procured iin the county. The old Horn Silver will be a big producer for a great many years yet, as the ore supply is by no means exhausted. Mil-for- The Carbonate and Rattler Shafts; north of Frisco, are still remembered by the old hands, and it is asserted by some of these, that great bodies of carbonate and galena still remain in those mines. There are a number of other producers in this district, but definite data concerning them is not at hand. Suffice to say that all these properties are operating to a greater or less extent, and that it would not be much of a surprise to anyone should a second "Horn" develop at any time. The busiest place in Beaver County is the town of Newhouse. Great activity has prevailed at the Cactus Mine during the entire period of the past year, and with the beginning of this summer, discovery was made of an entirely new and distinct ore body, carrying higher grade ores than had heretofore been opened with the result that there has been a policy determine upon recently by Mr. Newhouse which will mean much for this property, and incidently for Beaver County. It Is nothing less than to increase the milling capacity to twelve hundred tons per day, for which purpose ten additional jigs are being placed in the mill a fourth boiler of 300 H.P. capacity is also being added, and the mine is beith electric hoists, one ing equipped to handle the work in the main shaft, and one to handle the work of the new shaft which will be sunk below the tunnel level. Preparations to put this shaft down with great rapidity are being made. Pumping machinery and incidental supplies are now being gathered at the mine. Early in the year a steam shovel was installed at the surface and used In the removal of the oxidized ores on the top of the ore body. After this was done two "glory holes", were started from which about one-haof the tonnage of the mine is now being taken. This is beyond question the cheapest mining work that is being done in Utah the month of October having shown a product of ten thousand (10,000) tons from the "glory holes", which cost only 19 cents per ton for tne actual mining. It is by such means as these that the immense low grade product of the Cactus Mine is made profitable. It required more than ordinary nerve on the part of Mr. Newhouse to risk the vast sum of money that he invested in the Cactus Mine before it could be stage. It brought to a profit-earnin- g now ranks as one of the principal properties of Utah with many years of prosperity ahead of it. Thirty new dwellings are being added to the townsite. Three hundred and fifty men ind employment in the mills and mines of this property, and the daily payroll for labor alone exceeds a thousand dollars. From forty to fifty carloads of concentrates are sent to the Salt Lake smelter every month. It may be mentioned in connection with all the Newhouse properties in of this the state, that on the first month the wages of all the employees were voluntarilly raised 25 cents per day, which will guarantee to the company more efficient service from the men, and be a source of fatlsfaction both to employer and employee. lf |
