MINING NOTES.
Park City has the greatest silver mine
in the world.
The Ontario pays s. 900 month in divi-
denis and the Daily S}7 800.
The Alliance tunnel is few feet less
than one mile long and cost S3G, 0C0.
The Ontario will make small shipment
this week, only twenty five bars, valued at
$l4 016.
The Ontario tunnel, when completed,
will oe three miles long and is now in a
distance of $500 feet.
Park City, in 1899, produced $4,000, OOC
in silver, about one-thirtieth of the total
production of the world.
The Steam beat group owners have
stopped work for the winter. They will
open up the property again in the spring,
as early as possible.
The supplies for winter work at the
Montreal property, in Snake creek, have
arrived, and as soon as they can be taken
over 70 the mine large force of men will
be put to work
The Anchor tunnel is 6,543 feet in length,
cross-cut running from the tunnel ore
1,474 feet in length, making total of S,0l7
feet. This work was done at an average
cost of 81 Per foot
The Silver King lessees are putting
things in good shape at the mine. They
have hosting engine at work now, which
will hasten work in the shaft, which is now
down depth of 300 feet. A new set of
boilers have been purchased and will soon
be put in place.
The Creole is causing considerable talk
around stown and different statements are
heard, but nothing of an authoritative
nature can be learned. The big strike,
which ls reported cannot amount to much
or the shipments would be larger. Thus
far only $4,000 lbs. have been sent to
market.
Both the Northland- Nevada and May
flower lessees are combining their work to
raising on the vein to find out to whom the
much claimed apex of that prolific vein be
longs. We wonder who will be surprised
when they work out towards the surface
1t is to be hoped that they both find the
''much-desired' apex.
The Crescent tramway is five miles Iona
and IN that distance ascends 1,S00 feet
The heaviest grade is over seven per cent,
3S6 feet TO the mic. Its construction, out-
side of rolling stock, cost $4,000. During
the summer months five trains per day run
to and from the mine, taking up supplies
and bringing down ore. The engine used
is Shea engine.
The Parks ore shipments for the week
ending Friday, November q, amounted to
LA, 200 pounds. or 514 tons. The follow
ing lots passed through Mackintosh's
sampler: Ontario, SO, 600 pounds: DAILY,
81, 200 pounds; Anchor, 33S, 500 pounds The
Crescent company shipped the following
lots. concentrates, 225,O00 pounds; first
class ore, 10000 pounds.
Ezra Thompson, w. A. Wilson, Stuart
Stephenson and E. Bird. prominent Park
lres, have struck 1t rich in Dry Canyon.
Last summer, Mr.. E. Bird secured an eigh-
teen months lease on three claims there for
himself and associates, and at oEce started
tunnel to tap the vein. This was done
this month and showed up seventeen feet
in width, all pay ore, averaging $50 ton.
1t is needless to say that they are all happy
over the result.
Ex-Mayor Newell stated to TIE HERALD
correspondent this week that he had re.
ceived good news from Montana regarding
the New State mine, in which he is inter
ested with other local parties. The com
pany, of which Mr., X. p. Ferry is presi-
dent and e. 2. Clark, an old-timer in the
Park, treasurer and manager, own group
of claims in the Orc Fine district in which
they have recently discovered a four-foot
vein of ore which goes 155 ounces in silver
The ledge is fifteen feet wide and at present
is being developed by shaft. They have
force OF fifteen men at work under the
direction of Mr.. Clark.
THE HERALD man took a run down to the
Steele group of claims this week, which are
located near the Union Pacific track north
of town, and was surprised at what was
sho Nn him there by MIR. j. II. Steele, one
OF the owners of the group. This property
consists OF six claims, consolidated, and is
worked through the Steele tunnel. The
ledge is said to be the same as those at
Woodside and Creole, and resem bles them
very much in character. MIR. Steele has
been working on the property since 1886,
and has completed 5t5 feet of tunnels, shafts
and drifts. The upper workings consist OF
a tunnel 81 feet long and q shaft 81 feet
deep. The lower tunnel is in loo feet and
from a point near the face of it shaft has
been sunk ninety feet. Connection has eel
made with the upper works, and drifts, fo.-
lowing the vein, have been run. In all the
worl: done the vein has been followed and
has always carried ore. Two hundred and
fifty tons have been taken out and piled up
IN an old drift. This lot assays II ounces
silver, from s. to IS in gold, andes per cent.
lead. r. G. Dickson, Denver capitalist,
has purchased a hall interest in the mine
and is expanding considerable money in de-
veloping it, A fine dwelling has been re-
Gently erected at the mouth OF the tunnel,
which will be occupied by Mr.. Steele, who
intends to continue work during the winter
1t is probable that something will be done
with this property in the spring that will
place it among the paying mines of the camp.
