Mineral Fsrh Ite.as.


umns from week to week, and knowing
that it is o hard matter to personally
call on ms to gather news, l have con-
cluded TO send you few items Of what
has been and Is being done in and about
the Park, which is. az mineral produc-
ing camp. more than holding its own.
Several Of the properties that have laid
dormant for years and considered too
low grade to handle are being opened up
and proving TO he bopsnzas, and in every
instance the ore body increases in size
and value - depth is STAINED, dispelling
the old fogy idea that the ore 10 on top
and don't go down the great trouble has
been few have gone down TO see.
There is not to-day in the mining fields
Of this continent better opening for cap
ital and labor than there is right here.
The veins are larger, the ore higher grade
and in most instances pays from grass
roots down.
The Tucky Hoo mine, owned by Henry
Ewing, on which considerable amount
Of work has been done, will be sunk be-
low water when it Is expected the ore will
be much tetter than at present, although
he has extracted some very rich ore from
this vein which is from TO 10 feet wide
at depth Of 70 feet.
Robt. Meara and Jas. Cadden will sink
100 feet on the Ksnswha Bell. This claim
has Q record of 1880 ore. Work on it
has been almost continues since '63 and
is justly entitled TO be styled an old
timer and standby. The vien is from Is
TO 20 inches wide and improving with
depth. Mr.. Meara feels confident that it
is but question Of time until he can
wear - good store clothes - anybody.
The Sabbath Bell, situated about three
quarters of . mile from the Park, in
which rich strike has but recently been
made, is being worked by the owners, A.
j. Coon and Son, who viii make their
first ore shipment this week. They have
at the bottom Of 80 foot shaft vein five
feet between walls. The ore is black sui
phurite, running from SO to 600 ounces in
gold and silver. They have increased
their working force and will keep increas-
ing it as fast as they can make room.
We are pleased to re Mr.. Coon SO fortu-
nate and trust that his good luck may en-
courage others who are holding claims in
the neighborhood TO go and do likewise.
Eastman and Rswl have at depth Of
twenty Eve feet ON the granite lode, q
four foot vein, the pay streak is from 10
to IL inches and assays from 800 to $5O0.
They will sink to depth Of so feet, then
drift, when they will, without doubt,
have paying property.
The Old Tar, new location, is being
worked by the owners, Borden and Fro
lig. They have four foot vein, a so foot
shaft, shipment Of 800 ore ready, and
q world Of ore and confidence in the bot
tom Of their shaft.
The Queen Bee has better ors and
more Of it than ever before. This ia
proving itself to be wonderfully rich
mine, il it continues to improve in the
next six months az it has in the past it
will astonish the world. At the present
writing the vein varies from 4 to IL inch.
es and is almost solid ruby and native
silver. They have force Of ten men at
present and are daily adding to it. Hen
son will surely quit doing his own wash
ing and ironing after his return from the
east.
C. Z. Sherman has . shipment OF ore
ready from his reserve on the above
mine, that is very rich and is expected to
run away up.
Brown, Rule and Fsllett are taking
considerable ore out Of the Rural, which
they have been leasing for some time
past. They report strike Of rich ore in
the lower workings that is improving from
day TO day. The chances for the boys
coming ont on top il good.
Finegan and Uncapher continue to de-
velop their Homestske, they have i6
inches Of high grade ore in sight. In tact
everybody working hereabouts is meet
ing with the most fiattsring results.
J. p. Finegan has sold his business
here 10 Slawson and Leddy who will run
it in first class shape. Mr.. Finegsn will
move shortly to the Buckley place, at
Chloride. We are 10th to part with such
men - Mr.. Finegan but our loss will be
Chionde's gain.
From the reports Of the blasting on
Nigger Head it Ia evident that Louie
Dawson does not intend to allow the 50
to be jumped on the first.
Smiths bell ringers appeared on the
streets on Monday last, Beebe came later.
There will be big turkey and quail
shooting match here on the oath and a
grand ball on Christmas eve. We will
try and come down to see the kingman
komics on, il they will assure Us that
they wont get offended II We laugh at
them, savey. We are thinking seriously
of putting something startling on the
boards. Il will be either the Park Pirates
or the Chloride Cavilisr.
