Various Items from the Camp of
Onatiro and DAILY.
Record-Mining timbers are rolling
into Park City at a rate seldom before
seen The big properties are evidently
laying in winters supply.
There is considerable activity at the
Morgan mine Where considerable
force is employed. The Morgan is now
a shipping property and its manage
ment hopes to soon make it pay its
way.
Water has been cut in the Anchor
shaft in such volume that sinking had
to be suspended until pumps can be
rugged to keep it clear. The water was
no surprise however, as it has been
sinking below the 1,400 level was COM
menced.
SO far Colonel Shaughnessy has made
no move toward starting shaft on
the Mayfower group though it is
rumored that ground will be broken
some time next month. That will
hardly happen, however, as no ar
engagements have as yet been made for
water, and no extensive mining can
be done without that useful article.
o. E. Lawrence, foreman of the Cum
berland mine, informs the writer that
true vein has been opened up in that
property. 1t was found by drifting on
the chute of ore cut recently and which
is now of a very high grade, running
over 100 ounces in silver and 60 per
cent lead, with several dollars in gold.
Mr.. Lawrence and associates feel
greatly encouraged and are confident
that good mine will be the result of
present developments.
The Ontario, DAILY and Daily West
pipe line from Island lake is about
completed and the connections to the
distributing system ait those proper
ties are being rapidly placed. The big
distributing tank for the DAILY and
DAILY West has been completed and is
some twenty odd feet higher than the
stacks at the latter property, and will,
it is thought, give ample pressure for
all purposes, including fire. The sys-
tenn is not only well arranged, but is
very substantial in every detail, and
gives the three companies something
they have long needed-plenty of good
water.
Ore from the White Rock and Cali
fornia claims in Thaynes' canyon is
now being concentrated under the
foremanship of L. G.. Hardy, who is
in charge of the property for A. H.
Cannon, of Salt Lake. The old jiggs
operated by DR.. LeCompte are being
used. the only new machinery added
being a boiler and engine and Cornish
rolls. All screening is done by hand
and the jiggs are fed in the same
manner AS a result, the ore being
produced, according to an expert in
THAT line, lis Of a poor quality and will
not find a ready sale in the open mar
ket. The ore carries lots of zinc and
iron and will have 10 be handled in a
most careful manner if good concen-
traites are produced.
Operations were begun this week
upon the Putnam group, which is now
under lease and bond for two years
to Colonel William M. Ferry. A road
is being built and grades made for
buildings which will be erected as
soon as possible. 1t is MIR. Ferry's in
tention to develop the property by
sinking on the vein exposed some
years ago in an incline run down some
forty feet He will use a within and
expects to go to the depth of 1000 feet
by means of it. The writer would
rather see a vertical shaft go ito that
