supposed to carry Ontario ore, as 1t goes

THE STEAMBOAT.
This is a Snake Creek property and,
during the summer, a company known as
the Steamboat Mining Company was or
ganized to work the mine on larger
scale than its individual owners had
worked it in the past. 1t was lnco orr
ted with a capital stock of 81, 500, GOO, d1-
vided into $50, 900 shares, of the par value
of SO; the officers of the company being
president, Charles II. Gitsch; vice. presi-
dent and secretary, 4. w. Berry; treas
urer, r. T. Rimball. The property con-
sists of valuable group of ten claims
A tunnel is being run to tap the ledge,
which runs through the property at
depth Of 900 feet. The vein on the sur
face is veryrich, but it is almost lnaccess-
ible, making the tunnel necessity to
even make the ore pay. The tunnel is
now 4SS feet in length, 100 feet having
been run this year. The next season Will
see the tunnel run to the ore in and the
property thoroughly developed.

During the year 5000 in development
work has been done. A building, 22X4O
feet, serving as a shaft house, blacksmith
shop. ETC.. has been erected, besides a
14xl6 feet two-story boarding house. The
property is in good condition for an active
season of work, and 1893 viii witness
more improvement in this property than
the present year.
THE ROSEBUD GROUP
belongs to Smith Ehenger, man who
has worked for years to bring his prop
erty, almost single handed lie has ten
patented claims ana has developed
them through two tunnels. During the
present year, for a few months, efforts
were made to make connections between
the two tunnels by an upralse from the
lower one in order to ventllate the mine,
but failed, the air having become so foul
that work could not be prosecuted. Good
veins have been uncovered in this
property which give every promise oil
permanency and richness. During the
wear there were prospects OF company
being organized to actively develop 1t but
the negotiations in some way fell through.
It adioins the Anchor on the west and is
generally considered to be one of the best
properties in the Park and it is only a
question of time when it will reward the
wears of persistent labor and unbounded
laith of its owners.
THE PIONEER
lies on Pioneer hill south of the Anchor.
1t consists of one of the largest groups in
Park City and is generally considered to
carry the extension OF the Anchor vein to
the south. George Pierson, who controls
the property, has worked it this year on
the west END and has uncovered a good
vein in different places. Hundreds of feet
of work has been done in tunnels, shafts,
drifts. etc., enough to demonstrate that a
mine can be made of the property. Mr.
Plerson has succeeded In interesting an
English syndicate in the property anC
thew have bonded it for 500, 900, with q
guarantee that SIC, 600 shall be put up tc
commence the running of deep tunne
through Pioneer hill, on May l, 1898
With this in view it is quite likely thai
before another Christmas comes around
the Pioneer will have proven its value.
THE LUCKY BILL
company has continued to steadily push
the property to the front during 1892. Al
assessments on the stock have been palc
promptly, the stockholders having grea'
faith in the future of the mine. 1t lie:

ago, by drift, with the old shaft, thu

decided to sink the shaft much deeper
