Park Record: James .RdSband re-
turned last week from American Fork
canyon, where he has been to investi-
gate a new discovery of a gold-bearing
vein. The prospect was so fla, aring-
a s2f assay having been obtained from
the outcrop-that three locations were
made, together with a mill site, Pear
son Bros, of American Fork, James
Rasband and John Diem being inter-
ested in the ground. Mr.. Rasband
brought some Of the ore back with him
and sent it to ]. McVicker at Salt Lake
TO be assayed The returns received
were very favorable, the certificate
showing 1.20 ounces in silver and 1,604
ounces Of gold, the value of the gold
being given at $33.16. Messrs. Rasband
and Diem will leave for the mine to-
morrow morning and at once begin ac-
tive developments and to prove up the
vein at depth For surface rock the
/. showing is remarkably good, and it is
TO be hoped that depth will not only
see the vein hold its own, but grow
better. The gentlemen, while not over
sanguine that they have paying
mine, feel that the showing is good
enough to spend few dollars in de-
VelOpment work
That Water Ditch.
Rapid progress is being made with
the ditch for the proposed pipe line
from Island and Brimhall lakes now In
course of construction by the Ontario,
Daily and Daly-West companies. How
ever, snag is very liable TO material
lie as soon as the ditch reaches the
ground owned and controlled by
Messrs. Henry Newell and John
Shields, and upon which the two lakes
from whence the water is to be taken
are situated. MIR. Chambers has pur-
chased the right from the Midway
people, a full account of which APP
|. peared in The Record, but Messrs.
= Newell and Shields hold the lakes by
location and claim to be prepared to
prove their rights and the fact that the
Midway people had abandoned their
claim to the water years before it was
located by them. The chances for
and the ball will undoubtedly be
opened just as soon as the ditch
reaches the NeWell-Shields group Of
claims.

Charles Whitehead, jr., and party left
yesterday afternoon to prospect a gold
silver ledge from which remarkably
fine assays have been obtained. The
exact location Of the find has been
carefully guarded and is known only
10 very few persons, and will not be
divulged until after the value of the
ledge is established and the finders To-
cate their properties.
Yesterday President Francis Smith
and Manager David Keith made
thorough examination of the Anchor
mine. and the question of future OPP
erations. including the removal of the
concentration to the site selected for it
near the mouth of the tunnel will be
carefully considered. Mr.. Smith in
formed the writer yesterday that he
could not say what decision would be
reached, but that the matter would be-
settled before he left for the east The
j mine is in good condition and consider
able ore is being broken.
Negotiations are pending and have
been for some time, for the purchase
