JUMPED THE WAsATCH MINE
Ventilation of the Case viii Be Eff
f..cted in the Courts.

Park Record-The old Wasatch mine
on Scott Hill has been jumped by
Taylor and Giles Everybody who
keeps posted on mining matters in and
around Park City. knows that three
years ago Hy Giles and DR.. LeCompte
had a lease on the old Wasatch mine
and made several small shipments of
ore therefrom: also that they became
interested together on Scott hill in
some ground owned by Joseph Robin
son and acquired a one-half interest in
the same, there being large number
of claims in the group. A tunnel was
run in several hundred feet and nice
body of low grade ore encountered.
upon which a Wine was sunk over 100
feet. The property was equipped with
good tools-including a whim-bunk-
house. stables ETC., and Giles stayed
on the ground. DR.. LeCompte. besides
equipping the group, furnishing Mr..
Giles with the neceSsaries of life.
Early last spring a man named Tay-
lor, from Colorado. arrived in the Park
and made inquiries concerning the
ground and expressed a desire to get
lease and bond on it. He went up and
secured Mr. Giles interest. and coming
back to Park City secured that of the
doctor, and at once began preparations
to develop the mine. A lawyer was
sent to Argenta and soon found that
through the carelessness of Recorder
Monk, or from some other intent on
his part, the two most valuable claims
of the group had not been recorded,
though Monk had been paid $3.50 for
putting the claims on record. Eaylor
at once determined to jump the ground
and got Giles to go in with him, and
last week the deed was done, and DR..
LeCompte and Mr.. Robinson were left
out IN the cold.
Work was at once resumed, a drift
being started on the ore body cut in
the tunnel, and the first shifts work
uncovered a strong body of ore that
assays 160 to $50 ounces of silver to the
ton, besides the lead contained. Ghe
property has been incorporated, being
stocked for 500, 900 shares.
DR.. LeCompte proposes to institute
suit to recover the interest stolen from
him, and for that purpose made a trip
to Argenta this week in company with
Attorney Henry Shields, where valu
able information was acquired.

cold-decked the doctor, and his many

This property is located in the rich
Highland gulch country and bids fair
to develop into one Of the most valu-
able producers of it's locality.
Judge Turnbull and Alton Jones have
received the returns of their shipment
of ore sent in the first of the week,
and are highly elated over the same.
The returns were such as to encourage
the gentlemen in working their leased
ground more zealously than ever.
c. w. Peck, who for the past year
has been operating the Parnell mine,
has sold his lease and bond on that
property to H. e. Lawrence. of the
Minnie mine, who will operate both
properties. Mr.. Peck says he will
likely interest himself in some of the
other valuable properties in the camp.
The new find on Joe Bush and part
ner's claim. which was reported by the
Bulletin last week. has proven, upon
being assayed, to be much richer than
it was first believed to be. There is a
big body of the ore and it carries over
1870 ounces silver and between 80 and So
in gold to the ton. Glad are we to note
these valuable strikes in the "Old Re
liable" Such are being constantly
made, too.

above the old workings. The new find
was made by Rube Dewitt and Ed Lang
ley. After two weeks of development
the vein is two and one-half feet wide.
Mr.. Godferson says the present mill will
not treat the ore as successfully as de-
sired. and that a combina ton mill with
roasters and vanners will be necessary.
However, the making of those improve
ments will not retard the work on the
mine where three eight-hour shifts are
employed with most gratifying results.
Isaac Jennings, of Salt Lake, and c.
Searls, of Chicago, were in town last

proved. Secretary Morton has called for
a special report upon corn from all Wea-
Their stations. which will be furnished
next Tuesday. The acreage of corn is far
in advance of other years, as the condi-
ton is better. The last good corn year
was in 1891. so that the large crop of this
year follows not alone a single year Of
crop failure but three years of poor re-
turns.
Great Yield Six Years Ago.
