THE SAMPSON MINE.
A visit was paid to the Sampson mine
Saturday and everything found to be in
Furnishing condition. Work is being
done on the 200-foot level and consider
able ore taken out. For some time past
some OF the slopes that were abandoned
over a year ago have been worked ana
large bodies OF rich ore have. been found
in numerous places. Besides the large
amount of ore taken from these old work
ings, great quantity is taken out IRON
theswork on the vein. The drain tunnel
which has been pushed in for 1000 feet
has been found to be less satisfactory than
distance of 1000 feet q 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 1t 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-
partitions 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 Wanted system Of
our large cities, and SO loudly heralded,
had its origin in mining camps like ours?
Our people who live near the postofiice
do as OF yore-present their faces to a
square hole through which they see the
Postmaster, and having wrought every
ton point ~, quickly change it into an
exclamation or O. as letter is
handed them or the word nothing
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 by-thunder-boys" OF unmistakable
proclivties, ready for anything that may
turn up. AT hand, to each boy. are three
large canvas haversacks, something like
! 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 thei
bags, thus asserting them for convenient
delivery along each of their severa
routes. AS soon as the last letter anc
: paper has left the postmaster's hand
Mr.. Emory's CHEEKY voice sings
out, as the signal to the boys
"All set" Then bang go the box lids
: as quickly locked, and swinging the well
: filed mail bags, one on each side an,
one on the back, the boys thus equipped
rush through the crowd and in seconc
are astride OF their bronchos, and ava,
t they whip and spursand race up Mali
: street toward the mountains.
. Imagine your right arm outstretchet
to the south, with the thumb and frs
two fingers spread out, the thumb will
+ represent the Ontario Gulch, the dexte
i finger the Empire Gulch and the secon,
finger is Woodside Canyon, each diverg
5 ing from the head of Main street. Her
a the boys diverge and vanish, one in eacl
, canyon, still whipping and squirting
speeding on to their destination. TIL,
Ontario mill and mine and the hundred
OF employees of this royal employer o
: mind and muscle, are supplied with thei
u daily mail by one OF these boys, IN
: distributing papers and letters at eacl
cabin door on either side OF the gulch a
he hurries up the grade to the finale a
the mine. Another boy speeds up TIN
>. Empire Gulch and distributes his loa,
along to the DAILY and Anchor mines, an,
there deposits all remaining to await an
i plicants from beyond who ut night COM
= down from their prospects" to enquir
for mail. The third boy has Woodsid
canyon as his route. The Sampson an,
| Crescent mines, with the many prospect
ors Mt the head OF Thayne's canyon anc
: about the Pioneer, are daily applicant
for the contents OF his mail bags.
9 Thus day by day these boys await til,
{ arrival OF the mail train and dash ava,
( with their priceless messages OF news an,
| comfort and cheer. News from the bus,
outer world, letters from the old country
r across the continent and the stormy sea
1 kind words from loving mother to he
, wanderer boy, than which no sweeter
, no purer ones are ever penned letter
, from "the States" or Goods country /,
, those along the picket line of our adyanc
ing civilization are daily left at the cabiI
doors OF the miners OF this district. Anc
/ many loving letter thus brought, writ
, ten lull OF hopes from waiting, trustin,
, hearts, are taken down the deep shat
and along the damp leyels, hundreds o
ieet under ground, by the miner when h,
goes ION shift" Can you chide him, il
when alone, he takes the precious missiv,
from its safest lodgment against his heart
and by the light OF his candle re-reads Tn,
whispered words OF trusting love that hay,
winged their way from one dearer to hin
than his own life, to find him in tn,
mine?
