fark City as Business Point-Mining and
Other Industries.
Mr.. kear, OF the firm of Mcpherson g.
Co., proprietcrs of the Racket" returned
thursday evening last from the east, where
he has been to make a selection of holiday
goods for the winter.
What might have been severe accident
was happily averted by the presence of
mind OF the driver and, occurred on Thurs
day evening.
III appears that one of our livery stables
mad sent young man by the name OF Hugh
Paradise to the Ontario boarding house on
an errand OF some kind ana returning. the
young man. owing to the darkness of the
night, had become somewhat confused
When ne came TO the roads back of the ore
shed; the one road leading to Ontario No. 2
and the other TO the city, the space ne
tween the two roads consisting of ground
raised on an angle of about 45 degrees. and
Inc young man IN attempting to drive the
upper road drove over Or between the two.
thus bringing the carriage on an angle
corresponding with the ground. The
consequence was that the carriage
topped over, throwing the Young
man OUT, put ne plucklly held to the lines,
Notwithstanding the fact that he was under
the carriage. The horses after going some
little distance made sudden Jump, tear
ing the lines from his hands The concus-
sion tipped the carriage completely upside
down, breaking the top off, and the horses
still continued going until they reached
the stable, into which they started.
AS soon as the proprietor had gotten
them quleted down he sent q man on horse
oach TO nnd the driver, and while the mes
senger was going up Main rect, ne met q
buggy containing the young man. who il
was found had sustained no other bruises
than sprained wrist
w. W. Macintosh went to Salt AXE
last evening to spend day or two in seeing
OLD friends and attend to some business
matters.
People often make the remark las to
what keeps Park City going! VIII it ever
be larger city,"
/ The writer would like to answer these
questions, so that outsiders might gain
some little idea of what Park City really
Is. In the first place people have an idea
enat tnls place has superficial exterior.
l. e., mat what she says in regard to mines
and markets are only imaginary"
Our mines it is entirely unnecessary to
speak about.
One object of this note is TO present some
laea as to what is being done in the stores
OF this city. Take, first the store of M. :.
Ascheim. This gentleman EMPLOYS ali
TOTO, eighteen men, ranging from the man
ager OF the immense establishment. Mr.
Scion Spiro, TO the warehouse man. The
amount OF merchandise alone. not inclnd-
ing the hardware and dry goods depart
ments, amounts to something about 100 q
pounds per week. Next is Shields Bros
woo employ about the same number and
handle ABOUT the same amount of merchan
disc. Ihen IN regular order we have
Messrs: Richardson and Robson. Nc
Laugblln q Co., G. Hirschman, Young and
Adderly, and j. H. Rogers, CARRYING the
same lines OF goods. In the butchers we
have Henry Newell, Langford & Co. Ras.
pand Bros. and Jensen and Williamson.
In hardware we have G. A. Tewkesburv,
Joseph Fares and John Meyers. In drugs
y. Z. Williamson, Bates & Kimball. vii,
liam Brothers and w. S. Sharp. In Jewel
~, Wiseman, Hubbard & Co. and Orion &,
Co. 'on Z"
These are only few of the business
houses of the city, and each of them do q
business that would astonish anyone who
had access to their books long enough Ia
see the amount of business carried on
Soae might ask if these stores were NOT
supported in the city alone.
we would say that they are not. These
stores furnish the greater part of the Foods
used IN the surrounding country towns
Heper, kamas, Charleston and Peoa hein ,
few of them.
Ii any one doubts the authenticity NJ
these lew remarks, let the person come tc
Park, and the writer assures them that
everything that has been said can and will
be endorsed by the firms mentioned.
