Show GOLDBTtUKE BECOMING ACTIVE, POPULOUS CAMP Salt Lake men who have just come out of Goldstrike are of the opinion that it is a matter of only a little time, patience and money, when it will develop into a producer of yellow yel-low metal of cnsiderablc importance in Utah's mining operations. C. II. Griffin, a well known railroad man of Salt Lake und Robert Gorlinskt, engineer, en-gineer, have returned from a trip down into the southwestern corner of the : tate, where the Searchlight group has just been surveyed for patent pat-ent and work resumed. They noted considerable activity starting up at a number of properties, some improvements improve-ments being made, and met several outfits going in, on their way out of camp. A strike on the Barber group is reported. The Goldstrike Searchlight lies between be-tween the Hull Valley Gold, the old-original old-original location and the Ronanzn. It consists of seven lode claims and one placer claim down on the Reaver I lam wash. The patent number is 6464. Five claims are surveyed for patent Four men are working on the proper ty. They are prospecting about with a view of starting permanent opera tions at the most likely site. The Goldstrike-Virgiinia, of which Mr. Griffin Is president, will resume work in a short time. It followed an Ore boot from near the surface to the 166-foot level. Rich streaks were encountered in .a number of places There are four claims that were re cently surveyed for patent. The Goldstrike distiiict has three principal porphyry dykes cutting the formation! At the intersections with the vein system the values are found and the dykes are taken as the mineralising agencies. The formation forma-tion is pronounced ideal for ore deposition de-position by many practical mining men and engineers. Herald Republican. |
