at the Park. All the old mines are work.
ing OH in their usual rate and the new
mines, the Morgan and the Boss, are
promising great things for the future.
The appearance Of j. X. Walker, NJ.
II. Walker and j. A. Groesbeck in town,
accompanied by Simon #. Mackie, the
civil and mining engineer, and their trip
to some new claims, has given rise to
rumors OF the opening up OF some new
properties. 1t is to be hoped that there
is some foundation to the rumors.
An agent of the company owning the
Parley's Park group of mines was in
town during the last week looking over
the company's property here. The Par
ley's Park mine is situated east OF the
Ontario and adjoining that property, and
few years ago considerable work was
| done in prospecting for the Ontario vein,
but resulted in nothing. Among mining
men around here there seems to be little
doubt that the Ontario vein passes
through the Parley's Park ground, and
that work, properly conducted, would
discover it, 1t is to be hoped that the
company have this view and will once
more try their luck. 1t is reported that
they are about to resume operations, but
as yet nothing definite is known

all in all, 4 building that would grace
any town.
Building goes on steadily, and improve
ments are constantly being made arounC
the town.
The merchants have been experiencing
q little boom in business lately, produced
by the preparations for winter by thos
living away from town. The mines ar
also getting in their winter supplies
which gives additional impetus to bus
t ness matters.
, Two cases OF boys, up in the Polio
} Court for stealing during the past week
gives ample opportunity for moralizini
upon the depravity OF the risini
generation OF the Park. The you'll
, OF Park City are no worse thai
,, those OF other towns, but so little re-
straint is placed upon them at home tina
they are almost constantly on the streets
: and as Il natural consequence, are bein
9 constantly led into temptation. Thi
, should not be, and il possible curfe'
: system should be established. 1t woul
be blessing to the town and to tn
; youths themselves. Let something b
done by the parents or by the city.
The organization OF an athletic associa
