As stated in our last Issue, Claud Harues, representing tho owners of some valuable Deer Creek property, accompanied by J. E.

Tccteh, who returned a tew days ago from an extended examination ot tho Stewart property was willing to say that he jaw opportunity for development by (he application ot sclcntlo methods. The holdings consist of nine claims, now owned by Mrs. M. J. Stewart of Salt l.ako.
