work, since completion, has been largely in
the treatment of Woo iside second-class
ore, while large amount of Alliance ore
has also been treated. We are unable to
give the number of crude tons of ore
worked, but the total concentrates
shipped have amounted to 1,7S0, 400 pounds.
The concentration has been neces-
sity long felt in the Park, and its cree
ton has been the means of saving many
dollars that would otherwise have been
lost.
Adjoining the Comstock on the south Is
the Rosscamp and Glenn group. 1t has
been thoroughly developed and three differ
ent veins shown up. They have run 500
feet of tunnel recently, and altogether have
spent about twenty thousand dollars on the
property. Water has stopped work now,
and the owners are working to interest
capital in the property. About three thou
sand feet of tunnels, shafts and crosscuts
have been run.
The North Pole adioins the Woodside
and Mayfower mines and is owned by VIM.
M. Ferry and Andrew Lunden They claim
that the apex of the vein being worked by
the Mayfiower is on their property, and
have commenced suit against the leasers
and owners to recover $500, 600 said to have
been taken out. A shaft was sunk to bed
rock, where the vein was encountered and
drift was run to trace out the workings
of the Mayflower Anticipation is rife as
to the results of the contest.

opment work has been done. 1t has a fine
vein, from which over s4O,O worth of ore
has been shipped Shipments will be made
again as soon as the vein is tapped from the
east side of the hill, so that it can be

G. c. Whitehead and Chris Slagle are
JOINT owners in the Whitehead group of
twelve claims, short distance southwest
of the McCune tunnel. They have 270
feet of tunnel, from the face of which a
shaft has been sunk So feet Water has
been encountered which has stopped work
for the present A fine true assure vein
has been uncovered, carrying low grade
ore. Parties are talking of buying the
property, and soon something interesting
may be heard in connection with the
Whitehead group.

short time ago a nice seam of ore was
struck in the drift from the 100 foot level,
which went 800 in gold. The seam was
small, but enough to encourage the COM

own group of claims ad-
joining the Glencoe property in Blue Ledge
district, upon which they have expended
$4,000 in improvements. They have a |
4 foot vein of low grade ore similar to that
of the Glencoe; in fact, the very same, as
the Glencoe veins run through this ground.
During 1899 but little more than the neces-
sary work to hold the unpatented claims
has been done, butin 1890 there is but little
doubt that it will be opened up in connec
ton with the Glencoe property.
Ayear ago the Comstock property was
thought of only as a group of promising
claims; to-day it takes its place among the
leading properties of Park City and bids
fair during the coming year to rival the
camps older and more famous mines in
the production of wealth. 1t has been
developed during 1889, and no
doubt now exists as to the value of this

At 500 feet, a crosscut was run to the

This is in fifty feet and is now being

made and twenty-foot crosscut run to the |
