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.
