  There is a little doing right along in the mine locating business in this county.  During the past few days George T. Stenhouse, A. W. Warrington, Lorenzo Stenhouse and George W. Richmond, all of Salt Lake City, have had entered for record five claims in the vicinity of the Copper Boy mining property, two miles east of Cedar Mountains.  Henry Wade, Lars Frandsen, R. ace and George Frandsen of Price have located three claims two miles south of Cottonwood Wash and V. L. Acord of Castle Dale has located a claim in the most southeasterly portion of Buckhorn Flat.

LARS FRANDSEN BRINGS

IN GOOD LOOKING ORES

__________

  Lars Frandsen came in last week from the San Rafael country, where he recently located a number of claims which carry gold, silver and copper, according to assay returns from Denver, Ogden and Salt Lake City.  The ore is found about fifty miles southeast of Price, not far from Tidwell's Bend, and south of Desert Switch on the Rio Grande Western some eight or ten miles.  The main ledge or vein, and which he thinks will probably carry the values, is a limestone formation fully two hundred feed wide and which may be traced for miles and miles across the country.  What work has heretofore been done in that vicinity, he says, has been offshoots or spurs of the mother vein.  Himself and associates are much enthused and they believe they have struck it rich.  There is no snow to speak of where he was and on their claims there are two springs of as fine water as ever flowed anywhere.

Silver and Copper Ore near Desert Switch.

ORE RUNNING HIGH IN

SILVER AND COPPER

__________

  Peter Frandsen came in from his mining claims about eight miles south of Desert Switch, this county, to spend New Year's with his family here.  Himself and brother Lars Frandsen of Price and two miners are putting in long shifts sinking a shaft on their claims and at the same time getting out a car load of ore to be sent to Bingham Junction.  According to Mr. Frandsen some ore recently sent in to Salt Lake assayed as high as 176 ounces of silver and 20 percent copper.  If the carload to be forwarded goes as high in value as anticipated Emery County will have a steady shipping mine for some time as there appears to be a good sized body of smelter stuff.

  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.

__________

  Lars Frandsen, R. Pace, Ed Stewart and Jack Whiting pulled out of Price last week for the Cedar Mountain country, where they expect to make a mine and a fortune along with it.  Supplies were taken along to keep several men at work for a considerable time.  The property gives assays of gold, silver, copper and lead and the claims are most encouraging as far as prospected.  They adjoin those of Peter Frandsen, the latter having recently shipped out a car of twenty-two tons to Salt Lake City, and which, it is claimed, it will pay to work.  The nearest shipping point is Desert Switch.
