pelng done. A shipment OF sixty eight tons
OF concentrates was made this week
Mackintosh's sampler is not working a
full force of men on account of it being
next to impossible to get ore down from the
mines. The heavy storm of the past two
days will put the roads in good condition
and the ore shipments will be much larger
on account of it.
In looking up the mines about the Park
1t has been found that directly connected
with the mining industry, 1871 men are
employed. The mines and mills and the
number of men employed are as follows:
| Ontario. 800; DAILY, 250; Anchor, 90; Ores
yer King, 10; Mayfiower, II: Glencoe, II;
Gem, s. Richardson Crescent lease 20;
Jupiter, 2: Creole, 3; Silver Key, 6; On
tario's drain tunnel, SO; Alliance, 80; Roar
ing Lion. 8; Apex, 6; Lucky Bill, s; West
End, 4; Southern Tier, +; Typo, g.; Ken
tuck, 3; Montreal, A. Eagles Nest, z;
Ontario's mill, S. Marsac mill,
oO; Union concentration, %; Crescent con-
centrator, IS; Park City sampler, 20; en-
ployed by contractors and in prospects, 100
Total, 1911. At the average wages of So
per day, the pay rolls of the different com
panies would amount to Sill 800.
The Ontario No. 2 shaft is still going
down and tits quite likely that drifting will
commence soon both on the line Of the tun-
mel and Tor the vein.
Very favorable reports are coming from
the Lucky Bill property. Eight men are
Kept busy sinking, and the shaft has
reached depth of seventy feet. Connec-
lions were made with the tunnel at this
depth and hereafter sinking will be prose
cute1 through the tunnel 1t is expected
that at no very great depth the vein will be
cut, present indications pointing in that di-
rection. 1t is claimed by those who are on
the 'inside'' that the Anchor vein will be
found in the Lucky Bill ground.
j. M. Richardson, the lessee of the
Crescent upper works, is pushing his tun-
mel III and has reached distance of 100
1eet. His prospects at present are very
tiattering. He shipped this week 1876, 400
pounds Of ore which went S73 Fer ton.
The Eagles Nest claims are looking bet
ter as work proceeds. The shaft is now
down twenty-five feet, and recent assays
give two ounces silver
The Street Bros. are still at work on
their contract in the Jupiter tunnel. They
are IN about six hundred feet. They have
recently secured an extension of their con-
tract, by which they are to push the tun-
mel until they tap the vein, which should
be at distance of nearly nine
hundred feet. When tapped there
will be 500 vertical feet of working
ground on the vein. 1t is the intention of
the Jupiter company to continue work now
in their property until they prove whether
or not they have mine. In the spring,
boarding house will be erected at the mine,
and larger force used in development
The Jupiter has produced more than $4,000
in years past, which was taken entirely
from the surface works. The vein that is
being run for in the tunnel has been
thoroughly prospected above, and has
yielded well, BUTT is expected that results
will be obtained similar to those of the
Crescent when depth is reached The
prospects for the Jupiter are very encour-
aging, and Mr.. Charles E. Street is to be
congratulated on at last having induced the
company to develop the property as it
should be done. @. A. S.
