LOOKS LIKE GOOD
MINING PROPERTY
__________
In the old Summerville district some forty miles east of Castle Dale more prospecting has been done than elsewhere and there the ore carried some gold and considerable silver but no one ever found enough of it to make mining pay there.
Peter Frandsen of Castle Dale has opened up some copper ore that runs quite high in the red metal some ten miles south of Desert Switch, a station on the Rio Grande Railroad. Mr. Frandsen expects to ship a carload of the ore to a Sandy sampling works in a short while. If that ore is found to pay and the Copper Globe continues to come to the front it is likely that some sort of a mill or pyritic smelter may be put up on the San Rafael River and the ore treated locally. If ore is found in paying quantities in the Copper Globe the face will give a great stimulus to mining in Emery County for there is a vast territory of as yet unprospected ground that shows fully as good surface indications as
the Snyder and Frandsen territory. Eastern Utah Advocate
