J. 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.

matters knows, these are the conditions
from which big mines are made, which
pay princely dividends and In such prop

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.
