Miners at Summerville District near Woodside Utah.


SALT LAKERS SECURING 
FOOTHOLD IN EMERY
__________ 

  In the old Summerville mining district, south of Woodside more lode claims are being located than ever before, and the Kaiser and Hecker mining companies are preparing for a season of great activity.  Castle Dale's Progress says Harvey Hardy, S. M. Stenhouse, C. B. Jack and other Salt Lake parties, who have been doing more or less development work in that locality for several years, have lately been adding to their mining possessions by securing extensions of already partially developed lodes and taking in additional territory. 
  Louis Pressit of Woodside and associates have also been quite active in the locating business, and have added some choice looking mineral lands to their holdings.  J. B. Millburn, a Price man, and others have located mineral lands seven miles east of Hatchet Rock, and Attorney Allen Sanford of Salt Lake has interested himself in several claims in the old Summerville district. 
  Wyatt Bryan has made some locations west of Sinbad, and J. H. Barton, Charles A. Perry and Fred N. Miller, Miss Millie Cook, all of Ferron and Mrs. C. B. Snyder of Provo have placed their names to locations on ground twenty-five miles southeast of Ferron, in the vicinity of the Copper Globe property.

Prospecting.

In some earlier posts I have talked a little bit about prospecting. I gave some information about some of my grandfather's claims and recently a few posts about my dad's claims. I have decided to add this prospecting slant to the theme of this blog and put more emphasis on it. It won't be just about gold, though I will be talking about that. It will also be about gemstones. If you check out some of the links you will see that I have already made a step in that direction. I have also had a few posts about gemstones and will likely do much more in this area. I will also mention from time to time some current events in our country, America, that affect prospecting, mining our resources and individual prospectors. I will likely move away from the nutrition theme of this blog. I am doing this rather than start a new blog because this one is already establishes and does have some foundation for the theme of prospecting.
