Show HILLIN PAROWAN ; HAS COLD RUSH I Surface ore as.-esing $:5 per ton in gold has been dicovered east of 1 Parowan, and the entire Ked hill. I part of which is within the city limits, has been located and claims recorded by the discoverers, E. K. Jackson of Greeley, Colo., and his son-in-law, Claude Thompson, of Texas. Preliminary excavating shows that the ore becomes better with depth, and they claim that one of the vein." can be traced for more than one and a half miles. A mining expert has been engaged and will be on the ground within a day or two, and if the developments come up to their expectations, the locators state that they will build a mill at once. The asserted gold strike is in the vicinity of a prospect hole dug on the face of the same hill 50 years ago by Peter Foutz. an early resident of Parowan, who was confident that gold would be found there. |
