BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR 18S6-THE ONTARIO
The outlook for 1886, in business circles
is bright one. Each merchant is conf.
dent that 1886 will be the best year in
the history OF the camp, as 1885 has
been. Many of the old claims are being
reopened and developed, and mining in
general is steadily pushed, each owner
confident of a bonanza in the near future.
No position can be taken for miles around
where the eye cannot see prospect hole,
so thoroughly have the hills been pros
pected for new "Ontarios." There is but
one Ontario at present in Park City and
on the coast, although there are many
prospective" ones. But few develop
ments have taken place at this famous
mine in 1885. Work has been pushed on
the vein during the year and the enor-
nous amount of 1884, 1859 pounds
of ore has been taken out.
This has yielded 2,721,535 pounds
of lead, 7O0.35 fine ounces of gold, and
2,37S, 800 fine ounces of silver, and the
net value realized is $3.50, 1896. But
little can be said of the Ontario; these
figures speak for the mine and describe it
more accurately than words can. The
mine has been producing for over ten
years, and it is said upon authority in
Park City that enough ore is in sight to
keep the Ontario mill running for ten years
to come. This is no doubt true, and Park
City will see brighter days than have
been in the past. There are other good
mines in Park City, but the Ontario is, as
it always has been, the stay of the camp
In connection with the Ontario too much
cannot be said in praise of r. G. Cham
bers. The town as it is, is due to his
efforts more than any other one individ-
ual, for nothing that could be done in
connection with the mine that would be
a benefit to the town or to the laborer has
ever been neglected, and he justly de-
serves the praise that is given to him by
every person in Park City.
DAILY AND CRESCENT.
The DAILY mine is the second in import
ance in the camp, and the developments
of the last year place it near the head of
the list of "big" mines of the country. No
concerning it is given to the
public on account of the litigation going
on. 1t is on the Ontario vein, and the
purchasing and remodeling of the Marsac
mill to run upon DAILY ore is assurance
that there is another Ontario in this mine.
of tons of ore are upon the
Daily dump awaiting the starting of the
Marsac mill, which will be about Janu-
airy Goth. No ore is now being taken out
Of the mine, all the work being put in the
sinking of the shaft, which is down over
800 feet.
The Crescent mine is next in import
ance, and one which bids fair in the near
future to become irregular dividend pay
ing mine. 1t is situated at the head of
canyon, and around it are
many other promising claims, the Apex
being the most Important The Crescent
during the last year produced II ,5S1 tons
of ore, and from the Crescent concentration
956 tons OF concentrates were shipped.
Mr.. Stuart Stephenson is manager of the
mine, and with his able assistant, Mr..
Charles Getch, it will undoubtedly fulfill
the brightest hopes OF the stockholders.
APEX, SAMPSON AND ANCHOR.
The Apex, near the Crescent, has
been worked steadily OF late, tunnel
having been driven over 1000 feet.
The Sampson and Anchor are the two
remaining working mines in the Park.
No new work has been done in the Samp-
son for some time, the old slopes being
and the drain tunnel pushed
for 1000 feet. Former bad management
has given this mine bad name, but
since Mr. D. ]. Jones, the present super
intendent, has had charge, its good name
is being regained. Mr. Jones is an old
Comstocker, and No. miner, under
his business thoroughly. The
Sampson is good mine, and one would
think, to hear the miners working in it
talk, that the Ontario and Daily, in
another year, will be Lilliputian affairs
in comparison with it.
The Anchor Mining Company was or
ganized in March, 1885, with J. L. Woods,
Of Cleveland, Ohio, as president, and E.
P. Ferry, of Park City, as vice president
and manager. The Anchor property con-
sists of the White Pine and Utah groups
of mines, which were worked to some adj
vantage in former years. They have been
prospected and developed until there is
no doubt in the owners minds that
good paying property is there. 1t en-
braces a strip 900 feet wide and one mile
in length. 1t was not until last July that
any work was done upon the property.
but since then hosting works have been
erected and everything done to push the
for its worth. 1t is in line with
the DAILY, and no one in Park City doubts
that the Anchor will eventually fulfill the
expectations of its owners. A wise selec-
ton was made when Mr.. Martin was
given the position of foreman and Mr..
G. Andrews that of chief engineer. Both
are good men, and no better could
have been taken to put on new
The coming summer will be
either bright or gloomy one for the
owners of the Anchor, for then the story
will be told of the brightest expectations
