PARK CITY JOTTINGs.
Ore shipments of the Past Week
The "Manly Art'' and a Cooking
Main.

27,7G0.41 ounces of silver, and valued at
$30,536.45, were shipped from the On
tario mill last week.
The DAILY sent down 1856, 800 pounds OF
ore to Mackintosh's sampler during the
week, and the Sampson 124 200 pounds.
The icy condition of the roads down On
tario canyon prevented the Ontario both
from shipping any ore or hauling any to
the mill.
The new ore house at the Ontario No.
3 is nearly completed.
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 people.
The stage 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 prices was the
result, until now the stage fare has come
down from $4 for the round trip to 50, 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 Il

a little; nothing serious, however
In Judge James Court the following
civil cases were up for trial last week
Young VS.. Pierson, judgment by default
for $3.50 and costs; Schwartz VS.. Innis &
O'Brien, judgment by default for $lS2. rs
and costs; Lawrence VS.. Rich, with
drawn. The Whitehead VS.. Nelson case
mentioned in last weeks letter was taken
to Snyderville for trial, verdict was
given for the defendant as before, and
the case will now be appealed to the Dis
trict Court. The amount of 500 is in
yolved, and $3.50 has already been spent
in attorney fees in carrying the case
through, each party holding on with bull
dog tenacity to hes side of the case.
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, "a Year in Ger
many" the last of the series for the bene-
fit OF the Congregational church, was, as
promised, rare treat. Mr.. Thral is well
known as an able speaker, and in his
lecture he more than sustained his repu-
tation, holding the audience Interested
throughout. \ debate upon the question

for the same worthy object.
William Charlston and +. j. Smith en-
gagged in set-to Saturday night at the
skating rink for 500. The fight was to
be eight rounds, Marquis of Queensbury
rules, but in the fourth round Charleston
claimed foul and the referee deciding
in his favor, he was given the fight.
Some good sparring was DONE and it was
the general verdict that Charlston was
the better man of the two. Much dis
satisfaction was caused and many de-
nounced the affair as farce, but it was
not any different from the usual order of
such affairs. A friendly bout between
Ed O'Brien and Denny Hays, two local
admirers OF the manly art, was well CON
tested.
Sunday night there is to he rooster
fight at the Rink, Il number Of roosters
have been gathered up and the managers
promise the sporting fraternity of the
Park something fine. Cock fights NAV
be all right in their place. and at the ap-
proprlate time for such occurrences, but
the good people of the Park should rouse
up in righteous indjgnation and nravo,',
