center of a mineral zone ahat is the richest in the horld com sulho cry suburbs of the city underlying the foothills of the guardian to the and cat stretches a great belt of copper gold and kindred metals that dext wext through northern nevada and southern idaho and north and northwest through idaho through aber canyon tl prospectors have made their way and tapped ahn edge of the great coal fields that under f jay the slate of wyoming acpal ottha ot tha 4 quality found in abundance within wagon hauling distance of tho city to the south stretches alic great moun tain range within the confines of which are situated the greatest silver and lead producing bampi of alie world As alic central point of this great mineral bearing zone and of easy access to every part and camp by alio great railway systems that herc this has become alie distributing point for nearly the entire mining region between the oky mountains and till sierra nevada here also miners and prospectors have found the most convenient and cheapest point from which to outfit and to purchase and order BUpp lic implements and machinery over the southern pacific and iff branches the investor and the miner can easily by a jew hours ride reach nil the great mining camps of nevada over the oregon short line to the can be reamed alic mineral beacina be arina fields of id iho to the east alic union pacific carries one to the coal and oil fields of wyoming while one may make a choice of two routes south to the great mining camps of utah and southeastern nevada forty miles to the southwest across tho great inland u ie the acet mountain mining district located in bingham canyon long shallow canyon seven miles in length pitching from a southwesterly direction on cither thi canyon and also beneath Us shallow bed exist lie mineral deposits and eins of gold silver lead and copper that have van for Bi agliam the name of the old camp of utah from its producers unnumbered fortunes been dug and there yet remain fortunes for many in its yet unearthed ores south of bingham are the mercur and gintic tintic districts both within a few hours ride of ogdan was originally a silver but later it was discovered abe in argillaceous deposits and in also in altered limestone measures but in dueh curious and hidden state as to puzzle the old time miners and defy the old time of working the ores fortunes were ebent in trying to lessen tic jealous liand of nature from the golden treasure and then it was discovered that alic ores yielded to the cyanide treatment and since that the camp has become one of the noted ones of the acet and invaluable wealth poured forth and is still being emptied into the hand of the industrious miners and the trustful investor alio mountains in which alie gintic tintic district lies are a part of the oquinn range so elevated at this point as to can list only of of bold elevations end high lwills there are eions in alic district porphyry to the auth and altered carboniferous limestone to the coith both rich in mineral and the line of clearly defined there arc four thriving cities in this district like most of the mining camps of utah park city is camou throughout ahn country to which it became known as a wealth producing district in the early seventies As tho bird lies it ig 40 miles from ogdan with which it has direct communication by the union pacific ib is located on branch of the weber river the latter edream flowing through the western portion of this city at park city among etoff immense dividend payers is local the ontario mine has already yielded to it owners over at gras gra s creek within 25 miles of og den to the cast is a great coal mine an I 1 a number of other at Co alville but distance away from the coal fields of wyoming all of which get their supplies at ogden i shipped U dougli ogden alie coal cupply of utah sawia and the pacific 1 elates A barcli creek headwaters about arran miles from ogden excellent indications of gold have been discovered and several claims abc now being thero with most encouraging j no game indications have been found all niong alie base of alic mountains within three miles of alic city and a largo amount of development work i being done constantly northeast of tho city is the eldorado mine owned by don maguiro at i force of men are at work and from kiich pay ore lias been shipped and of dollars worth of develop ment work lug been done in this mine would mean a mining boom foi thie city ae it is located in the hilla only few hundred feet above the northeast line of the ity and itis it is surrounded by hundreds of promising chith extend far as the hot spring about M van miles from the northern city limit twenty miles up through ogden can yon is the paradise mining district more familiarly known as the mailata LaI lata la plata is looking up again the ex development work now being carried forward by alie la plata consolidated mining co of city if progressing very favorably fifteen men arc ac lively engaged in the development work the new tunnel is now in nearly 50 feet ft few hundred feet further the coata ct will be reached und unless nature has reversed and all signs one of the greatest deposit in this country will lie opened lip alic group of claims in alic boulli western section of the camp hae recently been secured a very fine sh otting of high grade silver lead ore canies conies t tho burbace bur face the development of ahn group is to be carried on in a scientific manner at an early date at the of the new tunnel hotel lias been erected two stories high kitchen furnished ith steel range hot ind cold water and oilier conveniences loud dining rooms store room while on the second bloor there arc for 30 men transient rates day employed emp loyes of the mine house tho foreman has been constructed ted also suitable magazine for storing the large quantities ot fuse 1 used in the development work at willard hill about twenty indice northwest of ogden the mining properties give the robit indications and a mammoth mill has been erected costing thousands of dollars and it will be aeck in working the ores taken from those properties another caius which is dependent immediately on ogden as a supply point is the bark valley district in the northwestern part of box elder county and can be reached only over the southern pacific and by passing through ogden the mineral belt of alic park valley district extends a of fully 12 miles along the foothills of the range wherever the granite lias been exposed by erosion quartz ledges arc found cutting through the granite from southwest to northeast these ledges are almost vertical and ap to be true fissure veins good asa a values in gold and silver are nearly always obtained at ahe eur faco increasing in value as depth is obtained in alie deepest workings copper is beginning to appear indicating that below the water level the character of the ore may be greatly changed there is located here the century and a number of other producers and mineral payers on alie promontory point and across the lake in the hills to the north of the ogdan lucin cutoff cut off arc a number of copper prospects that are being worked |
