PARK CITY PICKINGS.
The Ore and Bullion Shipments
for the Week.
AT THE SILVER KING SHAFT.
The Disastrous Fire at the Drain Tunnel Of
the 0ntario-Lively Times on the
Utah Central.

The Crescent shipments for the week
were 470, 905 lbs., divided in two lots: Cres-
cent concentrates, 400,0 900 lbs; Richardson
lease, Crescent ore, frst-class ore. 1890
lbs.
From Mackintosh's sampler this week
the following lots of ore were shipped:
Ontario, 654700 lbs: DAILY, 6S,50O lbs;
Anchor, So 800 lbs. total, L3lO, $50 lbs.
The total ore shipments for the week
were 1,7s1 ,655 lbs, or $50 tons.
The Anchor mine viii soon be relieved OF
the water that it contains and the stock
holders made happy. There remains only
about seventy feet between the bottom OF
the hole made by the boring machine and
raise which was put up last spring. They
commenced the raise again this week and
expect in about two weeks to make
connections with the hole. The An
Choir is shipping large quantities of both
first and second-class ore all taken from
the tunnel levels, which are about l 800
feet from the surface. With the water
out and drainage afforded, the upper levels
can be worked and connections made with
the tunnel. Park city will then have three
great mines, the Ontario, DAILY and Anchor.
The bullion shipment of the Ontario this
week was twenty seven bars, valued at
$l5,645.
The Marsac is piling up the sulphides,
but making no shipments.
The West End property is being put in
condition for development work on the
vein. Three men are at work at present.
Sinking is progressing nicely at the
Silver King shaft A within is being used
at present. but arrangements are being
made to put in hosting machinery at an
early date. Those familiar with the ''lay
of the country in Woodside canon, expect
to see the Silver King heavy producer In
short time.
The strike at the Creole shows up better
as work progresses; a ten ton lot OF first
class ore has been taken out recently,
which is being added to daily. Thelessee
and Mr. David Condor, the owner, are
much pleased at the outlook of the mine.
The Ontario tunnel is now in distance
of $500 feet, little over one-third of the
total distance, 300 feet.
The total production of the Ontario and
DAILY mines in 1899, was II, 81 tons of ore.
From this, the two companies paid $780,
600 in dividends and 81, 941, 104 to employees
and for general expenses. The total pro-
duction in fine ounces was 8, 239, 427, which
at the present price of silver would be
worth So, 464, 7S2. These figures make a
good showing, but the two mines are not
the only producing properties. The mines,
which are making shipments besides the
two great mines are the Anchor, Alliance,
Apex, Woodside Mayflower, Northland,
Nevada, Crescent Jupiter, Southern Tier
and Creole.
The excursion of the stock exchange to
Park City last week can but be OF great
benefit to the Park. The visitors were
shown the workings of the Ontario and
DAILY and the town in general. If they were
observing. they noticed that our town pos
sesses all the luXuries of the metropolis
except the electric street railways: that
the streets are well graded and cleaner
than they ever beheld those of Salt Lake.
that plank sidewalks are laid on all prin
cipal streets, and that the city seems TO
have special care for the comfort Of its
citizens. The visitors will tell to the world
that no place on earth is so hospitable as
Park City, and that her people
exert every effort to add to the enjoy
ment of strangers. Good words will help
the Park and we believe that every mem
Der of the late excursion will do us some
good. 1t can be said, also, that we have
good hotels, electric light works, a tele
phone exchange connecting with all princi-
pal cities of Utah, two railroads, the Utah
Central and Union Pacifc,a water system,
the greatest mines in the west, the only
Ontario IN the world and a larger area of
undevelopad mineral country than any
camp in the United States.
