Rare view! No 746. Boarding Houses of the Dalton & Lark Mining Co., Larks, Utah. Published by A.E. Dickerson, Coshocton, Ohio. View of two men on horseback with houses and mine on hill in background. Crease/rip going through left panel. Dickerson was active from the late 1880s to about 1910. The Dalton & Lark Mining Co. was a consolidation of 16 claims completed in 1895. The company became part of Bingham Mines Co. in Bingham Canyon, Salt Lake County. Lands are circa 500 acres, including the Dalton & Lark and Commercial mines, on the west side of Bingham Canyon, and the Mascotte mine, these being the principal properties…. The Dalton & Lark mine, area 240 acres, has shafts of 850’ and 1150,’ with 4 tunnels…extraction being exclusively by tunnel. The Dalton & Lark vein on the 11th level averages about 6’ width, carrying about 2% copper, 6 oz. silver and $1.50 gold per ton…The lead ores of the Dalton & Lark are richer than the copper ores, as a rule. The mine is claimed to have about 250,000 tons of medium grade and 500,000 tons of low grade ore in sight. The Mascotte mine, area 160 acres, has the Mascotte tunnel of circa 7,000’ length, which drains the Dalton & Lark…providing extraction only. The D & L was dissolved by order of court in 1911.
