II. McCalluin left Saturday with an outfit tn start work on another group of claims located Just north of the Mac's Luck property, known as the Mac's Hope group, on Deer creek, east of town. Active development work will he pushed on this hunch, from whk'h assays on top run from go cents to $2 40. More or less work, as vet little depth having been at- tallied, has been done on these claims, In the way of tunnels. The property Is said to show splendid surface Indications and is well worthy of considerable money being spent for fur ther development. Toronto capital Is be iiiK invested hi the property. The Deer Creek district Is attracting considerable attention of late and much development wotk is being done there. Large bodies of low grade free milling . ll.u iiali. kulmi Itna luriituf lira 111!.

As everyone familiar with mining matters knows, these are the conditions from which big mines are made, which pay princely dividends and In such prop erties large capital Is seeking Investment, It being a safer proposition than farming or hanking. , That Lawton -Whitney Wagon Road. A move Is on foot to establish a wagon road from Whitney up Camp creek, over the divide and down Heaver creek to Ala mo and Lawtou. I he promoters of this en terprise are the citizens of Whitney and the Similiter Valley railroad. Alamo and Lawton people are asked toco-operate by paying (or that portion of the road on tills side of the summit. l:roui the present status ol affairs, the Standard sees but lit tle utility to our people In furtliereng such n project. The distance from Lawton to Whitney Is anywhere from eighteen to twenly-oiic miles, and to Sumpter it is about sixteen miles. I:relght rates to Whitney are ten cents per hundred great er than to Sumpter, and why should we p.iy the increased freight rate and haul our goods a greater distance, Is not alto gether clear. 'I he Sumpter Valley rail road owns the townsite of Whitney and obviously is interested in its development as a supply point. If this is true the rail road company should make some conces sions In the way of reduced transportation rates In older to draw the tide of trade and travel from the town of Sumpter. Until this Is done we cannot see why our people should become enthusiastic over the construction of wagon roads to further what on the surface seems nothing more nor less than a town booming scheme.
