MINING NOTES.
From the Park City Record !:

z From the Park City Record /:
Sinking in the Boss shaft is pro
crossing rapidly. By some time il
January the 200 level will have beer
g reached and the vein crosscut.
The PiJneer tunnel will be run 40(
feet this winter. at which distance j
is believed the vein will be cut. Tim
Der and logging are on the ground tC
complete the work.
J. Work at the smelter continues
with very satisfactory results. Con.
siderable ore ia constantly arriving.
J. A shutdown of two days, to repair 9
D leak, occurred during the week.
During the past week fourteen tons
oil excellent smelling ore have been
shipped from the Woodside No. 2.
About two and half tons OF ore were
taken out yesterday. This is 8 pros
poet next above the Woodside, To-
Gated by Mr.. Ferry last year. Dolly
four men have been at work.
At the Marsac Mill for the last two
weeks the cheerful yell OF more
inert" has kspt away bad spirits.
The dry kiln is completed, and the
masonry for the Howell rooster is
nearly 30. The cylinder and other
machinery is all in place, and from
the looks of things Mr.. Carey will be
ready to let the stamps drop early in
the month. The pan floor is ready,
the batteries are in excellent trim,
the dry kiln is completed, and work
on the roaster, foundation for the
stack, etc., lie being steadily pushed.
The flags for the cooling floor are yet
to be laid. 1t is the intention to heat
the drying floor by passing the hea:
from the rooster through the
passages of the kiln before it enters
the stack.
The Utah Mine is one of the busiest
places We have visited for many a dsy,
The grade for the new hosting worke
Was completed on Monday and the
collar for double compartment shalt
was IN place. The timbers for th's
collar have been lying at the Flagstaff
Mine seven Year,, and are giants OF
their kind. The iimbers for the
frame are all completed, aud the
work OF erecting the building is pro-
crossing. Considerable of the ma
chinery is on the ground. The incline
Is down 200 feet, the pump is finished,
and the vein was to be cut to day.
On the 80 and $50 levels drifting con-
tinues, showing more or less ore over
head from the stations to the breast. |
When the vertical shaft is down 400 |
feet, aud it will be sunk very rapidly, |
the vein will be touched by the shalt.
On the 700 level in the Ontario the
new mammoth Knowles pump is in
place, but has not been started yet.
1t is the same size as the large one on
the 800 level in the cid SHAFT II
inch pluDger. The drift from the
shaft 10 the vein is in between $50
and 100 feet. II will be about three
weeks before the vein is crosscut.
The new station on this level is the
largest and best in the mine, which is
equivalent to saying in Utah. The
pumps are raising about 300 gallons
OF water per minute. the most of which
is thrown to the 100 level, passing
out through the Union Tunnel. An
immense quantity of mining timbers,
tagging and fuel is on hand for the
winter. The saw mill has been run
ming for some time getting a winters
supply ahead. The hill to the south
of the new works ia being graded
away to make room for a new boiler
room and coal house. The boiler
room is about completed. A large
amount of picking and blasting
ground must yet be removed. The
ore houses are both full, containing
about 600 tons each. At the mill
there is very nearly 1000 tons on
hand, making about $500, 900 worth
of ore in all. The force Of miners is
as large as 1t ever has been, and the
general stir and rustic about the works
indicates healthy state OF affairs.
From the Southern Utah Times:
The Pine Grove Company will ship
car load of high grade ore to Bait
Lake this week.
The Adelia, a relocation OF the
Merrimac, at a depth of about forty
five feet, has = four foot vein of high
grade ore.
The Colonel Compton is improving.
AT depth of tWenty-seven ieet, a
strong vein was struck containing
eighteen inches OF fine carbonate
ore.
The Little Mint is down forty five
feet and has q vein three feet Dix
inches vide OF rich chloride ore, and
there are about ten tons of ore on tine
dump.
In the Osceols, a drift from the
100-foot incline was run ten feet. A i
large body of chloride ore was struck.
Seventy five tons on the dump and
plenty more in sight.
The Hickory is looking better than |
ever. Messrs. Cook & Woodwork,
who took lease on this property, are
well pleased. They have about
twenty tons OF high grade ore on the
dump and the ore body in The mine
is improving.
A fine quality OF ore has been
struck in the Wine on the 400 foot
level of the Carbonate mine. 1t con-
sists of cube galens which has always
proved to be the richest. The extent
OF this strike ia as yet unknown but
promises to- open Into q very large
body OF ore.
The Cerro Gordo, one OF the prop
critics owned by the Cerro Gordo and
Minnesota Silver Mining Company, lie
looking up. A drift from the seventy
foot level, run in northeasterly direc-
ton for the purpose OF cutting the
ledge. is now twenty-five feet in
length. Little bunohes OF ore are
making their appearance.
The claims OF the different Chicsgo
companies on the west side of the
mountain are looking we'll. The San
deIs, Uwued by the Chicago and
Frisco Silver MlnIus Company, is
now down sixty feet, and at this point
g. drift has been run twenty feet
southerly; indications go to show that
, the vein is permanent. Considerable
good ore has been found. In the vein
the ore streak is now seven inches
, wide.
