RUSH VALLEY MINING DISTRICT.
This was a part of the West Mountain Mining District when that was organized in September, 1863, but was or- ganized as the Rush Valley District in 1864; the eastern boundary, being the dividing ridge of the Oquirrh range of mountains, on the western slope of which are situated the mines of this district.
About midway the district, and one mile from Stockton, is a heavy out-crop of a belt of blue limestone running east and west. Dipping under this is a well-defined vein, three feet in width, carrying argentiferous galena, mixed with iron ochre. The following mines are on this belt, which extends about a mile in length. On the east end is the first discov- ery in the district, called the Lincoln, now known as the Argent ; developed by shaft 100 feet in depth and one fifty feet ; ore fifty per cent. lead and forty ounces silver to the ton, though one lot yielded sixty per cent. lead and twenty ounces silver. Now being worked and ore sold to the Chicago smelter.
Adjoining west is the Tucson ; shaft 100 feet and tunnel run on the vein about 240 feet, connecting with it; an in- cline of 100 feet is now being run from the end of the tunnel. One lot of ore yielded sixty per cent. lead and eighty-seven ounces of silver to the ton ; owned by Swartz, of Pittsburg.
The formation is somewhat broken west of the Tucson, but it is evident the Bolivia is on the same vein ; it is opened by a shaft over 100 feet in depth, and there is much ore on the dump ; owners, P. E. Connor, T. D. Brown and others ; claim 1,000 feet.
Over the ridge west from the Bolivia is the Silver King, from which was shipped the first car load of galena ore sent from Utah ; it was shipped on schooner from Clinton's land- ing across Salt Lake to Corinne, thence on C. P. railroad to Selby's Works, San Francisco. The mine is opened by shaft 100 feet, connecting with a tunnel run from gulch along the vein 200 feet ; from this tunnel a shaft 150 feet is

amount of ore, which was sold to the smelters; owned by Col. Sprague.
Defiance -Well defined east and west mine ; opened by tunnel 100 feet, and drifts ; good quality of ore ; owned by E. & T. Paxton.

Probably 100 feet further would reach the vein ; owned by Benson, D. B. Stover, and others.
North from the Eureka are the Metropolitan and Legal Tender, supposed to be the same vein ; originally the Mel- rose ; developments are extensive by tunnels and shafts ; average assay of the ore about forty per cent. lead and fifty ounces silver to the ton.
West from the above are the Illinois, Peru and Douglass, north and south veins in quartzite ; not largely worked, but promising well; good carbonate ore; owned by L. Living- ston & Sons.
North of these is the St. Patrick, opened by an incline of 100 feet. This mine, at one time, was very promising, and yielded a large amount of ore, smelted at the Waterman fur- naces.
Up Quandary gulch, one-fourth of a mile from Silver Spring, is the Quandary lode, developed by a shaft over 100 feet in depth, with levels run therefrom; owned by E. C. Chase & Fowler.

There are also several mines near Soldier Canon ; good veins ; owned by Weitz, Fuller, Higson and others.
The facilities for working the galena ores of the district by smelting works are very superior, as Lilly, Leisenring & Co., of Philadelphia, have three large furnaces ; Chicago Company two ; Carson & Buzzo two; the Waterman Com- pany one ; and another is to be built soon. The capacity of these furnaces is great enough to smelt at least 200 tons of ore and produce seventy tons of lead per day.

GAZETTEER OF UTAH AND
STAR DISTRICT.
This district, situated in Beaver county, 214 miles south- west from Salt Lake City, and 197 miles from Provo, the present terminus of the Utah Southern railroad, is about fifteen miles long, north and south, and seven miles wide, east and west ; and embraces South Camp, Middle Camp, Shaunty Springs, West Camp, Foot Hills and North Star. Star City is the largest of these camps, having a population of from three to five hundred inhabitants of all classes. During the latter part of last year a ten-stamp mill was erected on Beaver river, five miles from Star City, and has been running successfully since October, 1873, on ores from the Hickory and Shenandoah mines. A smelter with two stacks has been erected at Shaunty Springs, and is in suc- cessful operation, smelting ores from the Rebel, Elephant and Miner's Dream mines.
