PROSPECTORS PLEASED
WITH THEIR SHOWINGS
__________
Lars Frandsen came back to Price the other day from the Cedar Mountain country, where he left Ed Stewart, R. Pace and Jack Whiting working several claims recently located by himself and others. They have a fourteen inch vein in place on one claims, says Frandsen, and this will be sunk to considerable depth. The crowd will take up about twenty claims, locating among others the old Hoyt mine, worked as far back as 1892.
The twenty-two tons of ore recently shipped from there to Salt Lake City by Peter Frandsen of Castle Dale gave an average value of twelve dollars to the ton, says Lars Frandsen. Provo parties were down there last week, figuring to put in a mill or leaching process, for the treatment of the ore, which carries lead, silver, gold and copper.
Lars Frandsen's claims are located about six miles west of Desert Switch. There is plenty of water for milling and mining purposes. Good springs of water flow the year around, while wood and coal may be had in close proximity.
