Topaz Mountain district was first developed in commercial quantities by George A Spr and sons in 1941 There had been a “known” small showing on a contact between the lime and quartzite on the north end of the Thomas range of mountains In 1942 Spors started shipping the ore to Geneva Steel Company near Provo Utah Spors continued to ship the ore and develop their property all during World War II No more deposits of ore were found until 1947 when the Willden brothers TA Claridge and Lafe Morley discovered ore near the north end of the range In 1948 they began to drive a drift to discover more ore At the same time WE Black and Scott Chesley reported a discovery between Spors on the south and the Garidge Willden Morley property on the north The district then began to boom Hundreds of prospectors flocked in and Fluorspar claims were located on nearly every foot of the Thomas range as far south as Drum Mountain There are seven properties now that have definitely established ore bodies Since August 1950 there has been an average of twenty railroad cars per week shipped from this district It has been shipped to every major steel plant in the United States from Sheffield Steel in Houston Texas to Bethlehem Steel in Seattle Washington The steel industry is the principal It is used as a consumer of Fluorspar flux in the furnace charge in the manufacture of basic steel Seven or eight pounds is required for each ton of steel produced In 1947 the steel industry used over 200000 short tons in the United States The acid industry or the making of hydrofluoric acid is the next big user In 1947 the acid industry used over 100000 short tons The Ceramic industry ranks as the third largest user having used 42000 tons in 1947 Fluorspar is also used in making cement welding rod glass and enamel fluorine is now being added to gasoline to increase the explosive power All the above uses have greatly increased now due to the present world situation The ore of the Topaz district is in great demand for it has a high calcium fluoride content and harmful ingredients It should remain a producing district and an asset to Millard County for a good many years Extensive expansion of the fluorspar mining activities in Juab and Millard counties occurred during 1950 according to a report released recently by the Bureau of Economics and Business Research University of Utah Shippers loaded 19250 tons of fluorspar an increase of 130 percent over 1949 Manganese Mines For many years past there had been considerable interest among local and outside prospectors in the possibilities of “paying ores” in the Detroit Mining District commonly known as the Drum Mountains and nearby areas Among many local men there were three who had formed a friendly partnership in this interesting diversion from their regular activities as farmers cattlemen merchants etc They were: WF Pratt of Hinckley WR Black of Deseret and MM Steel of Delta Discovery monuments indicating the activities of these three could be found in almost every mineral area from Idaho to Mexico Their chief area or "field of labor” however was their own back yard hills in the nearby Detroit Mountains They had great times together on these jaunts into the hills scratching and picking their way around and leaving their familiar Monuments” wherever “Discovery they went It remained for WF (Frank) Pratt however to bring into productivity several of these various claims When in the bitter cold of that January he began with a “Churn Drill” to put down test holes and blast open (with black powder charges) some Manganese deposits discovered and claimed under the name of “The Black Jack Mine” At the same time some development for this same ore was done on the property known as the “Hot Springs” Both proved to be of some value but it was not until they moved over the hill from the “Black Jack” to claims known as “The Black Boy” (numbers one to six) that the project moved into “high gear” and began to prove profitable With three men WF Pratt and Wallatjb Reid Lawrence Pratt (working with hand made ''‘Churn Drills”) the project developed through successive stages at one time employminers and ing as high as as many trucks and drivers The ore reached as high as fifty percent pure Many thousands of tons Manganese were shipped to the Columbia Steel Co at Ironton Utah The expansion of this work was marked by the entrance of Fred Staats into of those properties Staats a Provo man purchased the interest of WR Black The last major efforts were carried out by the Ward Leasing Company which operated the claims under lease from the owners until demand for the ores diminished and finally ceased in 1947 requirements had been the chief outlet for the ore As of 1950 the mines remained the property of the Pratt heirs and Mr Fred Staats ASCS news Remember our new phone number The office will be closed 11 Veterans Day and 26 Thanksgiving Commodity loans are available to producers who participated in the
