THE SAMPSON MINE.
A visit was paid to the Sampson min
Saturday and everything found to be in
Furnishing condition. Work is bein,
done on the 200-foot level and consider
able ore taken out. For some time pas
some of the slopes that were abandoned
over year ago have been worked ant
large bodies of rich ore have been founc
in numerous places. Besides the large
amount of ore taken from these old work
ings, great quantity is taken out from
the work on the vein. The drain tunnel
which has been pushed in for 1000 feet
has been found to be less satisfactory than
was anticipated, and from this tunnel al
a distance of 1000 feet new tunnel has
| been started, which is thought will meet
the requirements. During the last thirty
! days as much ore has been shipped from
this mine as in any preceding sixty days,
and from the present fine condition of
the mine it is thought the output for the
next thirty days will exceed the last, if
not in number of pounds it will at least
in richness. Some of the ore
found in the old slopes run very
high and the output for the coming
month will be valuable one. All pre-
parations have been made for winter and
everything around the mine seems rustic
and stir.
OUR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY SYSTEM
That Park City has attained to this
dignity may surprise your readers, but
true it is, and well-established fact.
Who knows but the vaunted system of
our large cities, and so loudly heralded,
had its origin in mining camps like ours?
Our people who live near the postofice
do as of yore-present their faces to a
square hole through which they see the
Postmaster, and having wrought every
lineament Of the face into an interroga-
ton point (?), quickly change it into an

crowds them from the delivery window
and they give place to the next in the
row of applicants. 1t is those living near
the mines, away up the several gulches,
that are the favored ones from our post
office. Upon the arrival of the MONDAY
mail, each day, may be seen three
bronchos hitched in front of the post
office. Inside, and seated on the floor in
front Of the lower tier of lock boxes, are
three OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of unmistakable
proclivlties, ready for anything that may
turn up. At hand, to each boy, are three
large canvas haversacks, something like
a game bag, and fitted up to be carried as
such bags are. AS fast as letters and
papers are distributed from within, into
the several boxes, the boys grab and re-
distribute them into the pockets of their
bags, thus asserting them for convenient
delivery along each of their several
routes. AS soon as the last letter and
paper has left the postmaster's hand,
