Johnny Angove and his partners, who took
one years lease on the Jones bonanza
about month ago. are taking out some

below the 1OO-foot level as vet, and will not
be apt to do so for some time. The charac-
ter OF the ore Is principally chlorides and
very free. They are screening all the ore,
and the finest they put through a washing
process called "tying." This is done to wash
out the dirt and waste, so that when they
commence to ship they will have nothing to
handle but pure, clean ore. The coarser ore
they intend to jig, and in the course of

money.
MIR. Holden, business manager of the Bell
Telephone Company in Salt Lake, has been
in the Park this week on important business
in connection with the exchange here. He
informed us that it was the intention of the
company to increase the rates here to make
them correspond with those of Salt Lake and
other places. At the prices the company has
been charging for instruments here, it has
lost money, and now that they are going to
the expense of resetting the telephone poles
and otherwise improving the line between
here and Salt Lake, it is to be hoped that
subscribers here will stand the slight raise
with good grace. Mr.. Holden said it was
impossible for them to keep prices as they
are and not run behind, and that if the peo-
pie here could not stand the raise they would
be compelled to discontinue this branch
