Show i MORE ACTIVITY ! IN MINING FIELD I G. S. Wilkins, president and general gen-eral manager of the Moscow Silver Mines company, was in Milford last week-end getting things underway for an early resumption of work at j the Moscow properties, and Hob j Sherwod and Jack Davidson are now I busy putting on the finishing touches ! preliminary to the employment of ad-I ad-I dilional men, the necleus of a still larger force which will be put to ; wurk as soon as present unsettled j conditions in the mineral worlci are j .-.tabilized. Mr. Sherwood had charge I of operations at the Mo-cow until 'its shutdown some 13 months age. i A group of five important mining 'claims less than five miles west of' i Milford, has been purchased by the : little May Mining company, Presl- dent John Matson of the Little May, j announced Thursday. There are : . about (.0 acres in the group. Arvid i j Johnson n.ade the sale. He is to be ! i employed as manager of th prop- ' erty, Mr. Matson said.- The claims are north of the Ma-jeetie Ma-jeetie mines and contact on the west the Rebel claim from which Matt Cullen, digging in an open cut, took out $80,000, that enabled him to buy! the famous Horn Silver.' i The Little May also owns five patented pat-ented claim? at Tintic and has a lease and bond on the Raft River gold property in Park Valley district. Mr. Matson has a collection of specimens broken from ledges outcropping out-cropping on the group that show high values in gold, silver, lead anil copper. cop-per. Miners have been put to work, in one of the old shafts. . That the whole country is becoming silver-conscious is evidenced by the fact that hardly a day passes that someone from outside drops into town to give this or that mineral claim the once-over. These outside parties are extremely non-committal for the most part but even their silence speaks volumes for the early prosperity pros-perity of this section providing some unforeseen thing comes to hinder hin-der the upward climb of the metal market. |
