Opening the Lands in Vernal Utah Opens Vast Mineral Region
Mary of Thess Lucky Onew Have Al frady Sold Their Righte-Much of The Vintahl Reservation is Worateome Valuable Mineral Deposits Are Upon lt Part of the Neerve Is Forea H Reeerve Par Military RReervation and Part Belongs to Tedians Vernal Utah Aug 24 The hos telries of thin town are taxed to their utmost capacity to take care of the large crowds of landseekers registered their claims according to rotation in which the numbers of their claims were drawn at Provo Utah. The drawing at Provo determined the order in which the claims were to be taken up and the homestead registries made. Today only the first fifty of the fortunate climents whose numbers were drawn were given an opportunity i have their homestead claims registered. Many sold out their land right after registration at good figures. The reservation now being opened comprises 1 450 000 acres bordered by Uintah Wasatch ranges to the Green river with irrigable spots and rich deposits of gilsonite and even gold and silver in various localities. Over 1 000 000 acres are forest reserve, 250 000 acres grazing for Indians, 3 849 acres Fort Duchesne military reserve, 113 000 acres allotted to Indians, leaving about 1 070 000 acres for actual settlers. Much land is practically valueless for agriculture but irrigation may unlock value. No railroad is closer than forty miles, but gilsonite deposits will draw a line to Dragon and Muck, boosting settlement and land value as lines extend to connect with the resources.
