Claims Located East of Cedar Mountain.

Snap Shots at Local Events

  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.

More Mining Claims added in South Fork of Neversweat Wash.

__________

  The Kaiser Mining Company of Salt Lake City has added nineteen more mining claims to its patented property in the old Summerville District, east of Cedar Mountain, and more particularly in the south fork of Neversweat Wash.  Extended development on this property is contemplated in the immediate future.  Plenty of low grade ore is in sight, carrying copper and silver.

Operations Reumed on Hecker Silver Group.

__________

  Harvey Hardy with a force of men from Salt Lake City and a strengthened treasury has resumed operations on the Hecker silver group down at Woodside and hopes to bring around a paying proposition for its backers before the snow comes.  The shaft on one claim is down over a hundred feet with a splendid showing almost from the start.

Harvey Hardy has Good Ore in Two Mining Properties near Woodside.

GREAT SHOWING MADE

__________

Harvey Hardy's Intelligence and Perseverance 

Rewarded by Ores in Two

Properties

  Superintendent Harvey Hardy of the Sheep Ranch and Hecker mines, down near Woodside, was in Salt Lake City the other day to secure a whim for the first named property, which has now been shipped.  He reports that the bottom of the Sheep Ranch shaft, two hundred feet down, is in a vein from six to eight feet between the walls, the contents of which show horn silver in nearly every piece.  The showing is a magnificent one and an ample reward for Mr. Hanly's faith in the property.  Of the Hecker, he says that in the progress downward it looks better every day.  Apparently a great camp is about to be developed in this district.

Good Looking Ores.

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 Lead Copper and Gold at Cedar Mountain.

MINING ON CEDAR MOUNTAIN

__________

  According to reports someone has started a little mining boom around Cedar Mountain.  Chris Larsen and Ervin Draper of Castle Dale were over in that direction a few days ago delivering a few tons of oats to Peter Olsen at Woodside.  They noticed about a dozen men prospecting and working in the district and ascertained that a few Denver men were in the party for the purpose of examining the territory with the view of prospecting and developing same.  Considerable work has been done there in the past by various parties and ore has been found that runs very high in silver and lead with some gold and copper.  Ex-Sheriff Hardy of Salt Lake City and the Hecker Mining Company have also done considerable exploitation work and obtained fairly good results but the distance from the railroad and the heavy freight charges from Desert Switch to a smelter point have discouraged the proposition of mining very extensively.  With some method of treating the ore locally thee is enough of it already exposed and of good value to warrant mining operations on an extensive scale.

Peter Frandsen in Salt Lake City.

IN EASTERN AND SOUTHERN UTAH

__________

  Peter Frandsen of Castle Dale spent the week in Salt Lake City on business connected with his mining property in the eastern portion of the county.  A sample of ore taken from it gave returns of 56 per cent lead, besides showing good values in silver.

Pleased with Showings

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.

Cedar Mountain Claims.

THE MINING FEVER HITS

PRICE EARLY THIS YEAR

__________

  Ras Frandsen and R. Pace of Price have gone down to the Cedar Mountains to do some prospecting on a twelve foot ledge of ore recently located and about fifteen miles from where Peter Frandsen of Castle Dale has been working for several months with good prospects of making a mine, he thinks.  The Price men have several persons associated with them in a bunch of claims and after arriving there will ship out some of the mineral bearing stuff to a sampler at Salt Lake City and to Denver assayers. 

  Peter Frandsen recently shipped a car of ore from Desert Switch.  It went to Bingham Junction, where it is being put through the sampling works.  Twenty-two tons constituted the car load.  Peter Frandsen is now at Castle Dale, awaiting returns from the shipment.  All of the ores so far uncovered in that section carry values of copper, silver, lead and gold.

  There is some talk of the oil well near Lost Springs resuming work in the spring.

Fortunes near Woodside.

PRICE PEOPLE SEEKING
FORTUNES NEAR WOODSIDE
__________

  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.

Samples from Hecker Mine near Woodside Utah.

 The following is another article from old newspapers about the Hardy workings as my dad called them or the Copper Boy as it was known in the Salt Lake Mining Review.  This mine is in the Summerville Mining District in Emery County Utah.  I will have more articles posted to this blog in the future. 

THE HECKER MINE
__________

  Another lot of samples from the Hecker, near Woodside, have been tested at an assayer's in Salt Lake City,  The returns show from 93.5 to 119 ounces silver and from 43.2 to 48.5 per cent lead, with an average of 95 ounces silver and 45 per cent lead per ton.  This was derived from five assays.  Returns from samples of chloride were no less satisfactory, the average reaching 53.8 ounces silver and 37.89 per cent lead.  Of the latter Harvey Hardy reports a breast of seven feet in the cut by which the vein has been opened up, and to get it to moving to market 200 sacks have been forwarded to camp.  The shareholders are all rejoicing over the result of the assays, while the outlook cannot but stimulate interest in the camp.

Fraud Capitals.

This is a work in progress.  Following is some links I have collected about fraud capitals of the US/America and/or world.  I will try to put this information together in an article which I will leave here on this blog and perhaps elsewhere.  It seems that everyone is trying to be the "Fraud Capital".  This is something you don't want people,  HELLO!  Quit competing for this title.  Let someone else have the title. Let's let Florida have it for the US.  Let's let Nigeria have it for the world.
