The Park Record contains the tol-
rowing:
Yesterday evening the writer was
given what purported 10 be the in
side facts of a big mining deal just
about 10 be consummated, that was a
genuine surprise, and which viii I'M
doubtedly surprise the talent. Believ-
ing that no ham can be done to either
the seller nor buyer, there can be no
harm in saying that the lease and
bond held on the Billy Began group,
located above the Silver King mine,
was transferred from n Treweek and
associates to Keath, Kearns x Co,
who viii take it up and own the
ground The deal viii prove a sur
prise, but the inside facts, as given
TO Us, explains matters most thorough
1y, and is cOrroboraIiVe evidence OF

\ New Discover.
a discovery of mineral, claim jump
Ing and an ejectment at the point of a
gun, is the sum and substance OF re-
cent mining excitement over on the
Weber river, near Lambert,s saw mill.
1t seems that Fred Higgins, while
hauling logs, made a discovery Of min
eral, and communicated the fact to
one or two friends. The veiw was
examined and some of the rock ex-
tracted, which Higgins brought TO
Park City to have asSayed. 1t gave
returns of % per cent lead and two
ounces silver. While he was absent,
some parties from COalville stumbled
onto his discovery, and located the
ground, something that Higgins and
has friends had failed 10 do. On his
return with the assay, he and his
party went up to locate, and found the
COalvilieiteS in possession. A row oc-
CURED as soon as it could be forced,
and guns were brought into play, the
result being that the parties from
COalville abandoned their locations
peing satisfied to move their stakes on
20 adjoining ground. Higgins and his
friends then located the discovery, and
are now actively engaged in develop
Ing 1t, and from recent information
sent TO town, the discovery bids fair
TO develop into a fair lead property,
shat may show considerable silver
as depth is obtained.

put the information came so late in

Sout is satisfied that the strike is bona |

fwritten up as it deserves. The Law /

By drifting on the contact cut at a I
point about 400 feet in from the mouth /
III the tunnel, mention OF which has
already been made in these columns.
The whole face of the drift is. at this |
writing, said TO be in first class ore |
Should the discovery prove to be per
Tnanent, it will awaken new activity /
on Treasure Hill, and be the cause
Of starting al once DEVELOPMENTS /
