Commissioner Mckay visited the Par
this week.
The last dividend paid by the Ontari
swells the amount paid by this compan.
in dividends to the vast sum OF Sc, 875 900
The weather boss tried hard to Civ
Park City a storm last week, but failed
The weather is just too lovely for words
Colonel William M. Ferry, Frank E
James and others, who spent last weel
in Salt Lake attending court, returned
home Tuesday.
! The new city hall is rapidly nearing
completion. The brick work will be fin
ished in week, and in three weeks the
| building is expected to be completed.
At Mackintosh's sampler an immense
ore shed, so by 125 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. 5 a large new ore
house is built. This will be great con.
venience to ore-haulers and saving to
the company. 1t is situated below the
dump, and the ore will be 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 McHenry, and Glencoe can
yons. Nothing is being done in Glencoe
canyon. but in the McHenry, just below
the Lowell mine, the Wilson & Barrett
claim is doing considerable work. New
buildings have been erected and force
OF men are at 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 constantlya and the future of Park
City is indeed a promising one.
The Democrats enterprising business
manager, Mr.. j. B. Wilson, spent Thurs
day and Friday in the Park in the inter
est of the DEMOCRAT. The people here
are awakening to the fact that the DEMO
Graf is one OF the liveliest, newsiest
papers for a thousand miles in either
direction, and their appreciation of this
fact is shown by the constantly increas-
ing subscription list.
Nothing new has been developed in the
Morgan group of mines difficulty. George
A. Meears is at present in possession, and
from appearances is liable to continue so.
The crowd of seven men that went up last
week and ousted Meears' men were ar
rested and taken before Justice Archibald
for trial. A 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 of
Salt Lake, as well as of the Park, is the
fact that the popular stage firm of Elm
ball Brothers has reduced the fare be-
tween here and Salt Lake for round trip
tickets to So, instead of 81, as has been
heretofore. The fare for single trip re-
mains as before-$2.50 This is good
move, and no doubt will increase the per
cent. of travel over this popular line.
Lectures seem to be in order. Last
Wednesday evening we were favored by
a lecture from Rev. T. G. Tiff, on egypt
and the Nile" The manner in which
Mr. Tiff handles his lectures, and tells the
story OF his travels is we'll known now to
both the Salt Lake and Park publics and
needs no praise. On Tuesday, the 10th,
Rev. Mr.: Prior, of the Congregational
church, delivers lecture on the "Won-
ders OF Astronomy" which will, no doubt,
be treat.
Zone more unfortunate gone to his
death. " Edward Byrne died at his
home last Monday night, of pneumonia,
brought on by excessive drinking, leaving
a wife and family of small children in
destitute circumstances. Mr.. Byrne has
been in Park City for a long time, having
come here from Sandy, where he resided
a number of years. He was in the boot
and shoe business, and was well thought
of by all, but, like too many other unfor-
Inmates, loved whisky too well. His sad
death and the helpless condition of his
family have called forth many expressions
Of sympathy, the most substantial. per-
haps, being subscription from the On
ario miners.
The output of ore for the last week is
immense. The large amount
i 2,6l3,925 pounds passed through the
crescent and Mackintosh's sampling
Mills, and was divided in the following
