Show 40 YEARS AGO ... From the Files .... New Gold Strike In Antepole Mts. Parties coming in from the Ante lope Mountains report that the minerals were silver, lead and copper, cop-per, with a little gold. A Provo party doing assessment work on some claims on the northern nor-thern end of the Antelope range is reported to have run into a little vein of gold ore, while sinking a shaft, assaying seven ounces per ton, About one mile south of the above group is a group of claims with a number of veins showing lead and spar with pure galena in places. They have on some veins copper which assays high grade. The formation is blue lime and quartzite. The claims have five tunnel sites, and the owners of the latter group which are W. W. Moody Moo-dy of Deseret, and H. F. Riebling, M. E. and Attorney H. W. Spang-ler Spang-ler of Denver are planning to cut most of their vein with a tunnel which has been started at the bottom o'f the hill. About one and a half miles sou- n th of the latter group of claims Is ,A a copper property owned by Mr. : '''' Joe Moody, or Deseret and assoc- ' iates. They have a shaft down nearly 100 feet in fine copper ore. Besides there are a number of other oth-er parties doing assessment work in this district. The district has such a fine surface sur-face showing in mineral, that several sev-eral of the owners are figuring on starting a mining camp by next summer, at the Antelope Springs, near there, and name it Mineral City. Moody, Riebling and Spangler have a deal on with a Denver syndicate for their property. Other capitalists are expected to come out from Salt Lake and look the properties over. Mining men are of the opinion that a good company com-pany will take hold and open up the properties properly, that it will prove to be a good shipping camp. The place is best reached by way of Black Rock, a station on the San Pedro road. Antelope mining district is almost al-most on the line of Beaver county, aKmit tan milac cnntliact rt Clatlr Rock.
