ing and prospects of the Uintah Min,
ing company, which is or has beer
operating on the Dolberg group. This
week the writer visited the property
for the purpose OF looking into mat.
ters and learning. if possible. some
thing definite about the company
what it is doing and what it proposed
doing The Office. works and boarding

was TO De found anywhere, the whole
works having been deserted. After
dlligent inquiry at the surrounding
mines, and from men working in the
immediate vicinity, It was learned that
the two men who had been left N
charge after work had practically been
abandOned had pulled I'D stakes Sun
day last aud moved out. In fact.
while there has been a pretense of
working the property all winter very
little has been accomplished. and no
real showing has been made for the
time put in. 1t looks very much as If
small force had been kept at the
property more as a blind than with
any evident intention of honestly de-
Veloping the ground, and the men en-
ployed at adjacent works all say there
appears to be something wrong about
the company Tinbers and supplies
have been secured on credit and never
paid for, while one Of the men who
formerly worked for the company saws
1t owes more than 81, 900 for wages !:
that no ore was cut in the shaft, and
that the company is no good.
The writer examined the dump care
fully and saw no indications Of ore or
vein matter thereon, and no mine can
cut ore or even good vein matter with
out the dump showing 1t. The whim

deserted and neglected appearance.
The written went to the mine purpoSely
to see Mr.. Caswell, who has been in
charge. but he has not been there for
more than a. month. The Dolberg group
is a valuable property and it Is a
shame to sec it given such q. black eye
through such apparent miSmanage-
nent We know absolutely nothing
concerning the company, which is sup
posed to be a Chicago organization;
but it is not thought very highly Of by
Parkites who have come in contact
with 1t in a business capacity. Arti-
cles of incorporation were received by
Probate Judge Shields some two
months ago to be placed on record in
this county but as the documents were
unaccompanied by the necessary fee.

no action could be taken until the fees

all that is known or can be learned Of

draw their own conclusions.
Matters at the DaIy-West.
So quietly have developments teen
made at the above property that very
few people are aware that It is really
entitled at the present time II take
rank as one Of the leading mines &C the
camp; that it has a. tremendous show
ing of both first and second-ciass ore
blocked out and ready to be stored,
but it is a fact. nevertheless. SO thor
oughIy has the mine been developed
and so extensive As the ore in sight,
that the management has Gee;6ed to
build two mills-one for concentrating
purposes and me to work the free
milling ore found IL the north
mer will be built this summer
and the plans and specifications have
already been prepared and the site 10
Gated. and all that remains to be look
ed after is some few minor details and
a final conference between the owners.
The mill will be located on the side
hill just below the ore house and will
be completed as soon as possible. OPP
erationS in the mine are moving along
evenly under the care of Foreman Nc
Sorley. The ore house contains some
500 tons of first class tore which Mr.
DAILY says he proposes to hold for a
stronger market. something that he Is
positive viii be available in the near
future The nina Is working about 100
men { much ore is being hOisted.
The mli.e has had considerable trouble
lately over its water supply, but a
pipe line is being laid to the Anchor
shaft and as coon as completed all
trouble will. for the present at least,
be art end.

Great Business in JigStnE.

office business in the line of digging |
the Second-class ore dump of the |

TO place another. The new rock /
crusher recently put in does its work /

There is d large tonnage of ore on |
