NEWS FROM THE PARK.
Life and Death i'm the Great Camp
Mining and other Matters-An
Interesting Budget.

we take up our pen after few months
idleness and will again endeavor to flu
nish the readers of the DEMOCRAT ono
! week with the news of our quiet bu
lovely mountain town. Since our Las
letter, some months ago, the town ha
| kept pace with its growth of the pas
During the summer many new building
have been erected, improvements hav
been made at the mines and the mill:
business has been steady and progress
In general, can be noticed throughout tn
town. Park City is thriving town. an
none appreciate that fact more than on
good citizens, who ever have the welfar
of the town at heart.
Dressed in gorgeous colors, the hill
! about the Park lend to it new beauty AM
attractiveness. A visit to Park City a
this time of the year, ride through the
hills to the Ontario mine, to the Ancho
mine and Bonanza Flat, to the Crescen
mine by the tramway or Thayne's canyon
to the lover of nature, would be trea
that could not be excelled. The country
round about is, indeed, gorgeously beauti
full, seemingly, one vast bed of beautiful
flowers.
The work at the mines continues the
same. The Ontario and the DAILY are the
stand-bys, and their output of ore con-
tlnues to be as steady and rich as ever.
Few improvements have been made at
these mines for some time past. 1t is
whispered, though, that the dav is not
far distant when the DAILY mine will be

ing machinery, air compressor, pumps.
etc, that the shaft will be sunk to 600
feet, and that throughout it will equal, if
not exceed, the Ontario in its facilities for
developing its wonderful resources.
The Crescent mine is making heavy
shipments, the tramway being kept busy
all the time. A number of improvements
will soon be made at this mine to increase
its working facilities. The Crescent
tramway has been kept busy all summer,
and the amount of ore brought down
must be something enormous. Every.
thing predicts a splendid future for the
Crescent.
The Anchor is still flooded, and no
work is being done. Two large boilers
and pumping machinery are expected
soon, and when in position large force
of men will be put to work, developing
the property.
The Sampson still contributes its share
to the ore output of the Park, and is
quietly pushing forward to a first place
among our best mines.
Hosting works have been erected on
Morgan company's ground, and work on
the shaft has commenced. Mr.. George A.
Meears has charge of this property, and
is confident of success.
The Apex, Boss and other properties
are quietly working away, and there is no
telling what the future holds in store for
them.
Mr.. E. Kimball has a large force of
carpenters at work erecting a lodging
house Tor the use OF his employees When
this is completed work will be commenced
On number of tenement houses. Mr.. |
Aimball will expend about $1,000 in
hese improvements, which certainly |
speaks much for his faith in the future of |
he Park.
Work has commenced on the machine
hops and electric light works being
ERECTED by the Ontario Company at the
larsac mill. These works, when COM
'leted will be thorough in finish and de-
all, and will be splendid acquisition to
he Park. NJ. G. Foote, chief engineer
the Ontario and Daily companies. has
barge of the work.
The new depot, it is thought, will be
eady for occupancy by the 10th of this
lonth. 1t is situated at the foot of Main
treet, very convenient for passengers,
nd when completed will be not more
omfortable than it is beautiful. I
Ii Is pleasing to note the progress that
as been made in religious circles in our '
lldst during the past few months, and
specially the activity of our Methodist ]
lends, who have been untiring in their {
eal to push forward the good work. The s
)ngregatlons are large, the singing in s
bring, the Sabbath school is in flour {
hing condition, and the affairs of the |
lurch generally on a firm footing. A S
lmber of improvements have been L
ade in the church. Elegant chairs have /
ken the place OF many of the old pews; t
handsome hanging lamp has been
acea above the pulpit, which is graced n
TN two beautiful pulpit chairs. Great n
edit Is due the Ladies' Aid Society. s.
rough whose efforts, with the hearty n
operation of the pastor, Rev. G. M. Ii
e1rey, these improvements have been il
ade. 1t is also worthy of note that in Il
these improvements no one in any W
" has felt burdened. The ease and k
artiness with which it has been done d
eaks well for the management and W
ows the appreciation of the community al
