Ore Being Encountered in Rebellion
Hill PrODerties

Barry, under lease from the Crescent
company. are engaged in sinking a
shaft on the ridge just north of the
old Tidal Wave shaft on Rebellion
hill. They are sinking in what appears
to be an old dried up mud spring and
are now down about fifteen feet The
soft material in the shaft produces
punches and stringers of fairly good
lead ore, which is being saved. The
country rock on the east side of the
shaft is phonolite, compact volcanic
rock, while at other points it is bedded
lime. 1t is combination never before
encountered in the district that we
have heard of, and is consequently a
curiosity, and it's development will be
watched with interest by miners who
have an inclination to study formation
and by ali the experts in the camp.
Messrs. Bunce and Barry are satisfied
that they will encounter a chute of
good ore before going very deep.
Activity at Crown Point.
Operations are quite lively at the
Crown Point and Munadore shaft,
which is now down over fifty feet. The
boiler recently purchased in Salt Lake
has been delivered on the ground, and
Patrick Watson is now busy setting it.
The boiler is sixteen feet long by sixty
inches in diameter, and will furnish
steam for a strong hoist, which the
company is now negotiating for, and
will place in position just as soon as
possible. The company means bust
ness and proposes to send the shaft
down just as rapidly as continuous
work will do it. 1t is two compart-
ment shaft and is being thoroughly
timbered and made first-class in every
respect. Messrs. Hickman and Paris
were out from the city Sunday and
looked over the work in progress, and
returned to the city Monday we'll
pleased.
A New Foreman.
There has been change in the fore
manship at the Lucky Bill, Mr.. Peters
stepping down and out and his place
being filled by the appointment of J.
A. Lundgreen Of Bingham, miner OF
long experience. The shaft has now
reached the 700 foot level, where a sta
ton is being cut and two nice string
ers Of quartz encountered are being
drifted on. Mr.. Lundgreen is much
impressed with the appearance Of the
formation on the 700 foot level, and is
satisfied that greater depth is all that
is needed to develop a-paying mine.
The company will hold a meeting in
Park City the fore part of next week
and consider the feasibility of contin-
uing development work all winter, a
policy that Manager Walter Burton is
strongly in favor of, and there Is little
question but that will be the decision
of the meeting.
A Model of Convenience.
The new carpenter shop at the DAILY
mine is all completed and the boys
have a snug place to work both winter
and summer. The shop is connected
with all parts Of the works by means
of covered tramways and is as handy
as a pocket in a shirt. 1t is equipped
with cross-cut and rip saws and will
soon boast a wedge saw, which has
been ordered, all being driven by an
electric motor of the same horse pow
er as the one in the Marsac machine
shops. While there Wednesday after
noon the boys geared up the machin-
cry and started up the motor and gave
the Record man an idea of how per-
feet the machinery operated. The
shop is certainly a model structure. j.
a. Lenzi was putting on the last coat
of paint and doing a good job as US
ual.
Camp Crosscuts.
The snowy weather of the past few
days has interrupted traffic on the
Crescent tramway. When the rails are
wet it is a dangerous undertaking to
bring train Of ore down that steep
grade.
Ore hauling is quite active again and
shipments are steadily going over the
million pound mark. The Crescent's
eighty tons per day makes the weekly
al 70
The question in Park City is why
don't the Comstock ship a few car
loads of its rich Ores?" 1t would look
like early days to see a line of teams
hauling ore down Thayne's canyon, for
all the ores from Rebellion hill used to
come down that rocky road.
The Daly-West mill is all inclosed
and most of the foundations for the
machinery are in place and all would
have been about ready except that Mr..
Watson was delayed for the want of
material. They will all be ready by the
time the machinery begins to arrive.
The ore floor of the mill, where the
rock breaker will stand, is part of the
ore bins and is perfectly arranged for
convenience and rapid work. The
structure is very substantial and will
be frst-class in every particular when
completed.
Pipe laying is now the order of the
day in the fo-Daly-Daly-West
pipe line to Island lake, and-the force
will be increased next week and the
work rushed in order that it may be
completed before snow fall comes
that will stay on the ground until next
spring.
Jack Green is still pushing the Nall
driver tunnel into the hill, but told the
writer Wednesday afternoon that he
was satisfied that before he could de-
velop a mine from the vein he now had
he would have to sink a shaft and get
down below the bed of the gulch creeks.
He said he hardly thought he would
start a shaft this fall, but hoped to get
at it early next spring. Jack has a
fine prospect for a mine and his many
friends hope that it will not be many
months before he uncovers it.
