Cedar Mountain Claims.

THE MINING FEVER HITS

PRICE EARLY THIS YEAR

__________

  Ras Frandsen and R. Pace of Price have gone down to the Cedar Mountains to do some prospecting on a twelve foot ledge of ore recently located and about fifteen miles from where Peter Frandsen of Castle Dale has been working for several months with good prospects of making a mine, he thinks.  The Price men have several persons associated with them in a bunch of claims and after arriving there will ship out some of the mineral bearing stuff to a sampler at Salt Lake City and to Denver assayers. 

  Peter Frandsen recently shipped a car of ore from Desert Switch.  It went to Bingham Junction, where it is being put through the sampling works.  Twenty-two tons constituted the car load.  Peter Frandsen is now at Castle Dale, awaiting returns from the shipment.  All of the ores so far uncovered in that section carry values of copper, silver, lead and gold.

  There is some talk of the oil well near Lost Springs resuming work in the spring.
