Reliable information was received this
week concerning the population of Park
City. The figures Tor the city are placed at
$500, and for the precinct, which takes in
the different mines, at $500. The actual
figures will not vary much from the above.
The People of the Park have claimed a
population OF 1000 for more than year,
but the count of the enumerators gives
more than that number. 1t is not likely
that recount will be asked for.
- he school census returns of Park City,
district No. r. show that there are 7lC
children, in the district, between the ages
of six and eighteen years. This does not
include the school population of Ontario
canyon, which is a separate district and has
about i60 children. A count was made OF
the number of children under six years OF
age and the total fell a little short of 500.
These figures alone show that Park City is
growing town and that silver is not its
only production.
