AMONG PARK CITY's MINES.
DaIy-west May Secure the Glencoe
and Enlarge Ii.


and Enlarge Ii.
The recent strike of large ore body
in the Daly-West property is beginning
to bear fruit, and there are signs of
life and activity, says the Park Record.
In the first place the long drift being
run to connect with the Anchor work.
~ings for air and other facilities, is be-
ing crowded as fast as possible and the
work done is showing the mine up to
splendid advantage. Mr.. Daily informed
The Salt Lake Herald this week that
ne would have to have a mill to handle
his second-class ore, and was nego-
tiating with the Crescent company for
the use of its cOncentrdtOr. If SatiSfac-
tory arrangements could not be made
he would build a mill as soon as posi-
BILE, capable of handling $50 tons of
crude ore per day. The writer has
made inquiries ana learned that nego-
tiations are also pending with the own
ers of the Glencboe mill and that the
deal was likely to be consummated. If
the purchase is made the plant, which
has a limit capacity of fifty tons, will
be moved to the Park and additions
made that will raise it to a 150-ton
plant. 1t is hardly possible, our in
formant said, that the Crescent would
be leased. as * would be impossible to
operate it in the winter months and
because the mill is not the right kind
ITO handle the class of ore produced by
the Daly-West, hence the chances are
in favor of the Glencoe mill with adj
ditions. The hosting works will not
be steamed up unless the company de-
ciGes to commence hosting first-class
rock, but work will continue through
the DAILY No. / shaft as the property
has been operating during the past six
months. The fact that the Daly-West
is a mine is now thoroughly estap-
lished. and it is to be hoped that its
owners will decide to put in large
force and carry on active operations
during the winter months, even though
the actual profits may be small.
RE-ARRANGING HIS MILL.
GeorEe Stafford is busily engaged in
changing the Construction of his mill
so as TO acquire more power, and mas
made arrangements with Mr.. Chambers
10 use the Ontario fiume water that
comes down from the mill. Mr. SAT-
ford is satisfied that he has now got
the combination On working the creek
ore: in fact he has demonstrated it to
his own satisfaction, and is now pre-
pairing to put his theory into practice.
He is having a large oVer-shot driving
wheel and new pulleys made, and by
placing new boxing and rearranging
his tables and making other needed
changes, expects to greatly increase his
output and enhance it's value The last
shipment made, of twenty tons, aver
aged about 80 ounces in silver and 81
per cent lead. Mr.. Stafford has made a
study of the creek and its contents, and
is now satisfied that he has solved the
problem of how TO catch the ore and
save it clean.
AT THE SILVER KING.
Everything at the Silver King is
moving along nicely and It is expected
hot oe NJ 10 -iT,or hn na -
will be completed by the 9Th Of Octo-
Der. To date. besides making one Of
the best and smoothest shafts in the
camp, the boys have kept up the aver
age required to complete the work and
earn the extra pay promised if the
work was finished by a certain date.
They now have the work well in hand
I distance that waste must be hoisted,
and as the wet ground has been left
behind, the boys feel that they have
got a cinch on the extra pay-but they
have earned it. The writer was up at
the Silver King works this week and
is free to say that while not quite so
large as some others they are among
the neatest and most convenient of
any on the coast They are now prac-
ideally completed with the exception of
the air compressor, and as the founda-
ton is all prepared fer that, it win re-
Quire only a short time TO get it in
operation after its arrival. BY the 10th
of next month the King will be break
ing ore again, and with its increased
facilities will be able TO make a. de-
cided sense ton in the matter Of ore
production, if its owners see fit to
crowd it
CAMP CROSSCUTS.
Ore shipments from the Macintosh
sampler are still light, as the Ontario. /
DAILY and Silver King are not shipping |
eny ore at all. II is expected. that |
shipments will become lively again /
next month.
Following are the ore shipments from
The Macintosh sampler for the present |
week:
Anchor concentrates .. 1854. 400
Silver King concentrates. 81, 700 |
Stafford concentrates. ............. AZ, 900 I
Total pounds. ................40 5. OSO
@. j. Buntz. who has been working
the Kentucky group of claims on
Treasure hill. has taken a lease on the ,
Silver Key, which he is now develop I
ing.
The Anchor company placed another
new jig in It's concentra tor this week.
The machine was placed to take a por-
ton Of certain small-sized rock from
the other jigs, as they now receive
more of it Than they can successfully
handle, and. much of it goes to waste.
IT Is anticipated that the new arrange Il
ment viii prove a great saving.
