Mining Notes of the Great Camp
rom Erenuan's Fearful Death
on the Cage-Etc.


Frank Hoffman was up this week ON
mining business.
Commissioner Mckay visited the Park
this week.
The last dividend paid by the Ontario
swells the amount paid by this company
in dividends to the vast sum OF S6,S75,OOO.
The weather boss tried hard to give
! Park City storm last week. but failed.
| The weather is just too lovely for words.
/ Colonel William NJ. Ferry, Frank r.
/ James and others, who spent last week
in Salt Lake attending court, returned
home Tuesday.
The new city hall is rapidly nearing
completion. The brick work will be fin
| ished in Il week. and in three weeks the
! building is expected TO be completed.
At Mackintosh's sampler an immense
ore shed, 30 by l25 feet, is being erected.
! This building covers the ore floors and is
built to protect the ore and workmen from
the snow.
At the Ontario No. 3 large new ore
house is built. This will be great con-
vcnience to ore-hauers and saving to
the company. 1t is situated below the
dump, and the ore will he sent down
through large chute.
Park City will be well represented at
the New Orleans Exposition. Nearly all
the principal mines have forwarded fine
specimens, the Ontario especially send
ing splendid collection. Park City will
not fall behind any of her sister camps IN
showing up her wealth.
Your correspondent paid visit last
week TO the McIIcnry and Glencoe can
yons. Nothing is being done in Glencoe
canyon, hut in the MclIenry, just below
the Lowell mine, the Wilson & Barrett
claim is doing considerable work. New
buildings have been erected and force
of men are ut work sinking the shaft
The Lowell is lying idle.
The manner in which this place is build
ing up is wonder. Dwelling houses and
business places are going up on all sides.
The sound of the carpenters hammer can
be heard in every part OF the town, and
, where building is not going on improve
ments are taking place. Business is in
, creasing constantly and the future OF Park
City is indeed a promising one.
| The DEMOCRATS enterprising business
manager, Mr.. j. B. Wilson, spent Thurs,
4 day and Friday in the Park in the inter.
3 est of the DEMOCRAT. The people here
g are awakening to the fact that the DEMO
8 Graf is one OF the livelest, newsiest
papers for a thousand miles in either
direction, and their appreciation OF this
v fact is shown by the constantly increas
d ing subscription list.
g Nothing new has been developed in tn,
! Morgan group of mines difficulty. George
d A. Meears is at present in possession, anC
e from appearances is liable to continue so
) The crowd of seven men that went up las
n week and busted Meears' men were ar
o rested and taken before Justice Archibald
e for trial. \ change of venue was granted
and the case was taken to Wanship
where it will come up for trial next Tues
day.
Something OF interest to the people Q
Il Salt Lake, as well as OF the Park, is tn
fact that the popular stage firm OF Kin,
ball Brothers has reduced the fare be
tween here and Salt Lake for round tri
It tickets to SO, instead of 81, as has bee
a heretofore. The fare for single trip re
=, mains as before-S2.50. This is goo
y move, and no doubt will increase the pc
re cent OF travel over this popular line.
