FRANDSEN PROSPECTS ARE
SHOWING UP SPLENDIDLY
__________
Peter Frandsen of Castle Dale and Johnny Allred of Ferron are working their group of mining claims, eleven in all, about three miles north of Tidwell's cabin, and about ten miles southwest of Desert Switch. They have opened up the vein in several places and found ore at every point. A tunnel to develop the whole group is to be driven this summer. The ore runs wuite high in silver and copper.
R. H. Smith, the abstracter, and L. V. Snow all of Salt Lake City, Paul and John Judd, James Peterson and George N. Kofford, all of Castle Dale, have located a number of claims apparently bearing gilsonite or ozokerite, some forty miles southeast of Castle Dale, and within a dozen miles of Desert Switch.
The claims show a large deposit of the glistening black was mineral, some of which was sent to Salt Lake City last week for an analysis.
