THE LUCKY BILL
stockholders have considered themselves very
lucky this year, as the price of share has gone
up to "a cents from Is cents, and all on account
of strike made on the 200 foot level. This
strike WIS made in September. 1t was in
drift 81 feet eastward from the shaft. The ore
was of a fair grade and the vein was found to be
large and well defined. The striking OF the
vein was sufficient to encourage the stock
holders to continue the development OF the
property. A shaft house was erected and
preparations made for active work during
the winter. within is being used for hosting,
but it is intended to replace this with an engine
in the Spria G. The shaft is being sunk to a
greater depth and at each one hundred feet
drifts will be run to the vein. With the work
that will be done during the winter there seems
to be hardly any doubt but that the Lucky Bill
will come out producer in the spring. 1t lies
just east of the Anchor.
The officers of the Lucky Bill are: Oscar
Hardy, president, George Burton, vice-presi-
dent; Jesse W. Fox, jr., Nathan Sears, Frank
S. Fox, directors; Walter ]. Burton, secretary.
The other heavy stockholders are: Abram
Hatch, Joseph Hatch of Heoer; ]. II. Rogers,
Park City; John II. Rumel IT., Elias A. Smith
and Joseph G. Cutler Salt Lake; L. P. Hatch,
Park City.
The shaft is now down 90 feet and the COM
pany has spent considerable money in improve
ments during the year. Supplies have been
laid in to last until May next. The vein, it is
expected, will be struck on the SOO-foot level
All assessments have been promptly paid, and
this speaks well for the confidence the stock
holders have in the property.

season. having been worked under lease by E.

McHenry is an old-time property, but is con-
troIed by parties who have no desire TO workit.

THE MORNING STAR
Is property that has come to the front during
the present year. Messrs. McGhie, Wilson and
others secured lease on it and commenced
work sinking shaft. At a depth of 100 feet
they cut a vein Of high grade galena ORE They
passed through this and went deeper Hoping to
find it larger at greater depth. Work is still
going on in the shaft Supplies have been put
in and the lessees intend to keep ut work all
winter. Great things are expected from the
Morning Star during the coming year, It is
located on Pioneer ridge and adJoins the Jupiter

| THE LITTLE BELLE.
Only assessment work has been done on this
group during the past year. 1t is developed
enough to show that it is a good property
Over 500 feet of tunnels and drifts have been
run, in one Of which a seventeen foot ledge was
cut. small streak OF pay ore Is in the prop
erty but not sufficiently large to work Litiga-
ton has held the group back somewhat but it is
expected that it will be opened up in the near
future. 1t is owned by H Kilkenny and others
and lies east of the Anchor and adjoins the Put
nam and Lucky Bill. There are nine claims in
the group.
THE PARK VIEW.
This group consists of three claims lying east
of the Woodside, belonging to Hugh Kilkenny,
P. F. O'Donnell and p. Fitzgerald Patents
are being secured on all the claims. They have
been developed through an eighty-foo incline.
A we'll defined vein has been struck, which was
capped with iron. BuncheS of high grade ore
were encountered in sinking. Work is now
being prosecuted on thus group, and it will be
continued during the winter. as the owners are
confident of striking something worth working
as soon as they can reach desired point. AT
present all their indications are very fattering.
THE ROARING LION
was worked part of the year by Messrs. Sulli-
van g. CarViu under lease. 1t is owned by Sam
Levy, Of Salt Lake, and Barney Riley of Park
City, and adioins the Crescent on the west, the
latter's dump being on Roaring Lion ground.
A small engine was put in to hoist from the
30O-foot level, where operations are being car
ried on. Regular shipments have been made
Of frst-class ore, which Melted more than 800
per ton. which appear in the statement below.
At the expiration of the lease of the men
named new lease was secured by Messrs P.
Sullivan, w. V. Rice and Charles Gitsch, who
are now working the mine. Though the output
has not been large, it has been profitable to the
lessees.
THE MASSACHUSETTS
is the old Empire which was worked few
years ago under the management of h. A. Van
Praag. A shaft was sunk 900 feet and num-
Der of drifts were run, but nothing of a pay
character was discovered and it was closed
down. Later on another attempt was made to
find the vein, but resulted in failure. Last
summer NJ r. Evans of Salt Lake, and Will
lam NJ. Curtis, of Park City, resumed work. be-
ing confident that by sinking to 1000 feet they
- would be able to make mine out OF the prop
erty. The shaft was retimbered, and lust
a when they were ready to commence sinking
. some trouble arose among the stockholders
q and operations ceased. So far the difficulty
has not been settled so that they can get to
work, but Mr.. Evans is confident that he will be
@ able to adjust matters satisfactorily at no dis
II tant date. Mr.. Curtis is thoroughly familiar
,e with the property. and is satisfied that he can
Is make mine out Of it. Judging from his sue
IS cess with other properties there can be no one
II who will think that he will fail with the
ID Massachusetts. 1t is to be hoped that
l. this property will be re-opened during 1892
n THE STEAMBOAT
m is one of the most promising Snake Creek prop
IN critics. 1t is owned by E. W. Berry, R. t. KIM
ID ball, B. Riley and the Momson estate. A
splendid showing is made on the surface, but to
work to advantage tunnel is being run which

is mas peen worked untl recently when IL was
