qulrIng territory along the famous belt
that has produced so much silver-lead
ore since Park City first became

effort being made to buy up struggling
and scattered claims and groups, but

gave birth to the idea that the belt
was virtual reproduction of the ia

The Creole company is drifting on

satisfied that they have a big thing.
Dan Murchie took up lot of sup
plies this week to the Superior group,
located on the east end of Bonanza
Flat, and is developing the property
with small force. The work being
done is in the shape of tunnel and
good progress is being made
Grading for the shaft house on the
Constellation group has been COM
pleted, and the building is now going
up at a lively rate. AS soon as that
is ready the shaft will be started and
crowded vigorously. The Constella-
ton is promising ground and should
develop into a bonanza.
George Stafford returned this week
from a two weeks trip to Idaho,
where he went to look at a mining
proposition in which himself and sew
eral other Park City men are thinking
of becoming interested. The samples
brought back were satisfactory, and
there is little doubt that the property
under consideration will be leased and
bonded.
