from shipping any ore or hauling any to
the mill.
The new ore house at the Ontario No.

The weather in the Park is something
unusually fine. The snow has nearly
disappeared, and from the present out
look we will have none of that article for
Christmas, much to the disgust of the
young ople.
The1U4ge lines between Park City and
Salt Lake are having high times. KIM
ball Bros. have for years been running a
stage between these two places, and lately
VIM. Roach, OF the Halfway House, put
on another line. A cut in pfices was the
result, until now the stage fare has come
down from 81 for the round trip to So, and
each line swears it will carry for nothing
before it will give up. The people of the
Park are enjoying it, and if it is kept up
it will likely prove the reverse of the old
saw. Competition is the life of trade
The Steam Laundry horse got on a
tear the other day and smashed up things
little; nothing serious, however.

Business in the Park is steadily increas-
ing. John Varcoe has opened fish and
fruit stand, making the third new store in
the last three weeks.
Mr.. Thrall's lecture, ga Year in Ger
many" the last of the series for the bene-
fit of the Congregational church, was. as
promised, rare treat. Mr.. Thrall is well
known as an able speaker, and in his
lecture he more than sustained his repu-
tation, holding the audience interested
throughout. A debate upon the question

William Charlston and T. ]. Smith en-
gagged in set-to Saturday night at the
skating rink for 500. The fight was to
be eight rounds, Marquis of Queensburv
rules, but in the fourth round Charleston
claimed foul and the referee deciding
n his favor, he was given the fight.
some good sparring was done, and it was
he general verdict that Charleston was
he better man of the two. Much dis
was caused and many de-
bounced the affair as farce, but it was
lot any different from the usual order of
uch affairs. A friendly bout between
"a O'Brien and Denny Hays, two local
.dmirers of the manly art, was well con-
ested.

expended, and the children are going to
e royalty treated. The Sunday schools r
re very large and increasing gradually. I
t the Methodist a number OF new classes
ave been formed, and there is an attend-
nee of 100 scholars. This is really sur @
rising for Park City, and reflects great il
redit upon the energy of the Methodist g
'orkers. N
Some of the ways and customs of the
ark people are very peculiar-one custom
that is, the racing home
om funerals. Respect for the dead
lould at least cause one to return from Z
he grave as they came to it, slowly and \
lournfully. Tears for the lost ones p
lould not be dried at the grave to give
