and Society Mention, and a
Reply to the 6 RecOrd.'

4 DA<hhSNA<AA'J
Nearly 2O5 tons of ore were shipped
from the Park during the past week
divided into lots as follows:
DAILY. .....-...........-.. doo,o oo
ontario. Aan,1 roo
| Sampson. Observation-Disclosures. .......... S,CU
The regular weekly bullion shipment Of
the Ontario amounted to ninety bars
containing Sc. II OF. of silver; value,
$50, 65O.2S.
| The Crescent has stopped shipping ore
altogether for the winter. The tramway
is impossible on account of the snow,
and it has been thought best not to make
any more shipments this winter. The
work at the mine will be continued as
usual, and the ore will be piled upon the
dump With no ore to work on the
sampler will be compelled to cease oper-
atoms. It will close in few days.
The Marsac is fast nearing completion.
During the past few days the boilers have
been tested and found to work admirably.
Another battery, consisting OF ten stamps
has been put in, and the work of placing
the pans and settlers is nearly finished.
The first of January will see the Marsac
mill at work.
The Telephone company move into
their new quarters in the City Hall next
week.
The postofice is now something like
such place should be. The new place
which Judge Street has erected is large,
more commodious, and more centrally
located than the old Office. The change
is wise one, and Judge Street should be
given due credit for it.
At the meeting of the stockholders of
the Park City Water Works Company
last Friday evening, some important busi-
ness was transacted. The following Off
GERS for the ensuing year were elected:
President, A. M. Grant; Secretary and
Superintendent, William M. Ferry Treas
urer, Thomas Cupit Board of Directors
R. G. Chambers, A. M. Grant, M. s.
Ascheim, Thomas Cupit and w. M. Ferry.
The fourishing condition of this company
is exhibited by the dividend of 80 cents
per share which was declared and paid
at their last meeting.
What might have resulted in disas-
trous confagration took place in Dodge's
saloon on Saturday morning. The CHM
ney caught fire, and in few minutes the
building was in flames. 1t was extin-
guished by the inmates without calling
out the fire department.
Saturday was payday at both the
Ontario and DAILY mines. Over $780,
900 was paid out by these two companies,
and still not drunk was eraked in" by
the police. This speaks well for the law
and order of the camp.
Judge James has been kept busy for
the last three days with the case of
Whitehead VS.. Nelson, case for the re-
covery of personal property. The jury
rendered verdict for the defendant, but
on motion for a new trial the verdict was
set aside and another hearing granted
Nearly all the legal talent of the Park is
engaged upon the case, and much amuse- |
ment is afforded the spectators by their
quibblings.
Frank Harding, our ex-assistant post
master, has gone into business here, hav-
ing opened a book and stationery store. |
Frank carries full line of goods and the
best wishes of everybody.
The subscription list for the purpose of |
raising the amount of S., 900 to defray the
expenses of the delegates to the silver
is meeting with a hearty re-
spouse. At the DAILY mine John ]. DAILY |
heads the list with $3.50, and at all places
the Silver" has been given equally as
literally.

Church next Thursday evening Rev.
