Among Park Citx Mines.

Utah Patroit-An interesting meeting
OF the stockholders OF the Lucky Bill was
held in parlor az of the Park City no.
tel last Monday. President Joe Hatch pre-
sided. The acting superintendent reported
that the shaft was below the eco foot
level. He was instructed to push that as
rapidly as possible and not drift until
the LOCO foot level was reached. 1t was
agreed that a special assessment of ~
cents be levied a once. President Hatch
informed the PATRIOT reporter that the
prospects for a good mine at the Lucky
Bill were brighter now than ever before.

SOME EXTENSIVE DEVELOPMENTS.
Mercur Company VIII Put Down
Two Working Shafts.

On the Matte No and ON the Ralph
the Mercur company will Immediately
commence the sinking of shafts for
stretch of country which is known to
be underlaid with high-grade ores, but
which has to date been practically IN
touched The shaft on the former will
cut the vein at one end of the COM
pany'S ground and that on the Ralph
at the other, making it possible TO
work the entire section without the aid
of further openings to the surface.
Each of the shafts is to be equipped
with the latest improved hosting
plants when completed and the de-
velopment work to be carried on
through them will he of a very i'm
pOptanlt nature
When he was out to the properties
the either day. President Dern located
the new shafts and gave instructions
for the Immediate commencement of
work This has been done and the
sinking is in progress The work NOW
going on in the mines shows very con
clusively that in order to economically
operate on the eastern extension of
the great ore body from which such
heavy tonnage of ore is now being
extracted new workings will be neces-
sary. 1t was either tunnel some
thing like 1000 feet in length or a
shaft that will have to be 200 feet in
depth at least and the latter was &C
cepted as the best method of develop
nent Through this shaft and that to
be put down on the Matte, all of the
unopened ground of the company on
the east and over toward the Matte
can be thoroughly explored and the
extraction of ore will be comparatively
easy. The extension of the railroad
around to the Matte is to be pushed
as rapidly as possible. and this will
give the necessary transportation ia
cilities. From the point selected by
to the most easterly underground
workings of the company is now 200
feet. The Matte shaft is to be an in
cline.
Director George Darn went cut to
the properties yesterday for the pur-
pose Of paying off. The payroll of
the company is steadily increasing.

Back From the KentucI<.

Manager L. U. Goliath of the Kentuck
Mining company, has returned from the
properties OF the company in Idaho, and
reports that the mill is operating reSu-
larly on custom ores. The development
pany is showing up the ore bodies in
good shape. The need of a road cut Of
the district just now dwarfs almost ev-
erv other interest and strong efforts are
being made to secure the building Of the
same. 1t would only require a length of
fourteen miles to give an outlet to the
entire country in the neighborhCod of
the Kentuck.
A compromise has been effected be
tween the Yellow Jacket company and
it's employees, and full operations are
again in force. The company capitulated
by allowing the demand of the men FIR

night shift. instead of two ten hour

Still another gain for silver, thls
time g of a cent, sent the price of that
metal yesterday higher than it has
been since the 18th day Of January,
1894, when the quotation was So cents.
Ut is still impossible to tell with any
degree of definiteness just what the
white metal will do, but the general
opinion among operators is that this
is but temporary squirt caused by
increased demands and that there VIII
soon be a relapse. The price may so
up to 20 cents before any break is OBJ
served, however, and some people are
even figuring on a 75-cent quotation.
The Jumps that have been made since
the advance commenced in earnest
were of a very material nature and
soon sent the market price of the metal
UP to points unheard of during the
past two years.
This advance in the market quota
ton of the white metal is, of course,
resulting in considerable good to the
mine owners of the territory and the
general west as we'll as ito all other
classes of people 1t is understood that
the shelters in the valley will come
in for good share of the benefits of
the advance in the price for the rea-
son that they were well stocked with
silver bullion and had been holding off
for some time past Mine owners are
very happy when selling their ores on
the market with the several add
tional cents tackled onto the quotation
that has been in force for SO many
weeks without material change. AL
though the advance is but a few cents
these few cents mean much for the
heavy shippers of silver ores and bull

GREAT IS TIE LUCKY BOY.
Extensive and Gratifying Deyelo,-
ments just Being Made.


All of the reports brought down
from the properties of the Lucky Bow
Gold Mining and Milling company bv
Messrs. Mccormick and Treweek. who
arrived in the city from the north yes
terday morning, were of a highly
gratifying nature and indicated that
the properties of the company are in
splendid shape. Since the latter part
of the month of September the mill
has been operating steadily and the
saving of values is reported to be very
satisfactory. This plant is that put IJp
by the old Custer company which was
succeeded in it's rights by the Lucky
Boy people. With only a few changes
the mill was placed in commission and
since the date of the commencement
OF operations it has been treating ore
without a skip.
Mr. Mccormick was highly pleased
with the showing of ore made in the
properties of the company. At the foot
of the new shaft which is now down
some fifteen feet below the floor of THE
400 foot level, the ore body is sixteen
feet in thickness and the silver-gold
content is very fiatterng, a sample
across the face of the vein giving aver
age returns of S211 in the two metals
named Heretofore the company has
per ton and this increase in value
shows very conclusively that with depth
the values in the ores improve very
rapidly, and that the real riches of the
properties have never previously been
shown.
In the neighborhood of thirty tons of
ore are daily being treated in the mill.
but the capacity is to be increased by
the addition Of another Bruckner roast
ing furnace. All of the ores treated in
the mills are roasted after being
stamped and screened and then they
become subject to amalgamation A
cleanup of the battery was made while
Mr.. Mccormick was at the mill and the
gold-silver bullion will be shipped to
this city within the next few days.
Another property in the neighborhood
of the Lucky Boy that gives splendid
promise is the Black mine, operated by
NJ. L. Crafts, we'll known in this city.
Mr. Crafts has leased the Fourth of
July mill over the divide from the
Lucky Boy and within a short time will
commence actual operations at the
plant.

A Wonderful conoueror.

No disease is more common among
the people than scrofula. Handed down
from generation to generation. it is
found in nearly every family, in some
form 1t may make its appearance in
dreadful running sores, in swellings in
the neck or goitre. or in eruptions of
varied forms. Attacking the mucous
membrane it may be known as ca
tarrh. or developing in the lungs it
may be, and often is, the prime cause
Of consumption.
In whatever form scrofula may man
fest itself, Hoods Sarsaparilla is its
inveterate foe and conqueror. This
medicine has such powerful Alternative
and vitahzing effects upon the blood
that every trace of impurity is ex-
PEELED and the blood is made rich,
pure and healthy.
