MINING NOTES.
From the Park City Record:

From the Park City Record:
Considerable surveying is bein;
done in the district.
Ore from the Pinyon Mine is com
ing down in considerable quantities
Perry and Morgan have a flint
prospect about three miles below
town, near the E. & p. G. track.
Grading has been commenced on
the Uintah company's property in
Thames Canyon, for the 20s-fOOt
shaft.
A very promising vein was re-
Gently located in Snake Greek Can
yOn, upon which the owners pro-
pose doing considerable work
Immediately.
While the Ontario was shut down
the most thorough Overhauling was
made. New shoes and dies were
put in and several alterations and
improvements were made.
Maunder Bros, have had tempo
rary ditch made and a stream of
water taken out of Saw Mill Can
yon, near the Federal tunnel, with
which they are ground sluicing for
bedrock, ON the COmstOck No. 2. BY
this means they hope to find their
vein in the solid foundation.
The ore house at the Empire is
again in shape, and is in a much
more convenient place than for
merly. Vigorous work in grading
additional room for the extensive
new hosting works is being done.
The roads near the mine have been
graded and put in excellent condi- ,
ion.
The strike in the Sioux, lying
north of the PocotellO, is imprOv-
ng. A tunnel is now in on the vein !
bout sixty feet, showing smooth,
rue walls, about five feet apart, and
most excellent vein matter resem-
ling closely that in the McHenry
nd Ontario. The depth is not yet
efficient to warrant high assays,
ut the showing is excellent for a
God mine in time.
Work has been resumed ON the
liver Bar and Great Western Con-
Olidated, with fair prospect of .
until an ore chimney is $
in the tunnel. A depth i
f 800 feet will be gained in the tun- :
ell, which is now in Seventy-five '
,et, on Great Western ground, run
ing for the Silver Bar. Those who
re acquainted with the claims say
lere is no doubt about their vein
eing the same as the White Pine !
nd Utah. u

Urn to the classic regions of south
n Utah cussing Wood River as
ley go, for they now have a rich
,oSpect alongside the road between C
etchum and Galena. They claim a
have a fOur-foot vein of good :
e." The Southern Utah Times not
lily congratulates this quartette, y
1t hopes, ere long, to hear of other =

at land of promise. ~
