PARK RECORD NOTES.
The Vallejo Now a Shipper-Bucket
Tramvvay For the DAILY West.
The Vallejo, Park City's youngest
and most promising prospect, has
joined the shipping list. ore hauling
having been commenced Monday OF
this week. The ore is fine looking rock
and there is little doubt but that it
will show a handsome profit, even
with the long and difficult haul,
Messrs. Urban and Dahlgren informed
the writer this week that the ore was
steadily improving with depth while
/ the vein is becoming better defined and
more regular. So much so that the site
for the proposed new tunnel to tap the
ledge at great depth has been definite
ly located, and arrangements are be-
ing perfected to begin driving it not
later than Sept. /. The grade for the
new boarding house has been completed
and the structure will be erected with
energy just as soon as the lumber is
on the ground. There is an active de-
mand for stock in the corporation, and
good sized block was sold this week
at a good figure. The fact is, the Vale
jo is looking extremely well and gives
! great promise Of being the next prop
erty in this section to develop into a
paying proposition. The grade of ore
carrying good values in gold and cop
per-raiSeS the product to a great ex-
tent, out of the slough of despond that
attaches to lead and silver producers
under present market quotations.
BOUGHT THE ANCHOR DUMP.
Manager Jones of the Peck Concen-
trating company has closed a contract
with the Anchor company for the big
tailings dump lying at the Anchor con-
contractor, and that will be the first dirt
handled by the new mill when COM
pleted. The method of moving the
dump to the mill has not yet been de-
cided upon, though Mr.. Jones was con-
siderlng the feasibility of conveying it
to the mill by means of a. pipe line, the
dump being composed entirely of very
fine material. That method has num-
Der of features, however, that would
according to well informed Anchor
official, make it not feasible, and it is
doubtful if the plan will be attempted
The material would have to be removed
under direct pressure, and under those
conditions it would soon grind the pip
ing through. Mr.. Scott informs US that
! the Anchor has recently closed a con-
it with certain amount of water but
now it will be conducted to the mill
! from the Anchor tunnel has not vet
been decided upon, SO far as he has any
! knowledge.
I James Higney of Salt Lake was in
! the Park Monday looking after the val
ue of several prospects on Scott Hill
( IN which he is thinking Of becoming in
tereSted. Scott Hill has a good oppor-
/ Ia =. -,
the next few months if the development
! work now projected is carried out.
Inc TACT that all the stockholders in
the constellation Mining company have
pald the last assessment levied, speaks
louder than words OF faith in the prop
] erty. The company has a nice plant. is
out Oh debt, and has a fine showing for
manner in which Superintendent S11t-
ton IS conducting developments give
the stockholders faith that their money
is being JudiciouSly expended.
David Keith stated to a mem Der of
the Record staff this week that the
rumor that he had tried to get a lease
ana bond on the old Hawkeye mine.
was entirely without foundation as he
had never even thought Of such a thing,
let alone negotiating for it. He could
not speak for Mr.. Chambers, but knew
his own actions in the matter. He does
not blame the Record for giving the
news as it is gathered, but desires il
understood he made no attempt to get
hold of the property
Inc following item from the Virginia
enterprise will give our readers an
Idea OF the magnitude of Mr. Keith S
/ operations in Oregon: "McCone's
foundry is unusually busy these DAYS
/ preparing large shipment of ma
chinery which is to equip a hoisting
plant at mine owned by Dave keith
near Baker City, Oregon. The ma
chlnery, which will be shipped this
week. is powerful outfit, comprising
two boilers. 1t will occupy two cars.
The shipment will probably be made
MONDAY. Mr.. Keith proposes to sink a
double compartment shaft 500 feet
The Silver King company instead Of
reducing its force as has been rumored
in the Salt Lake papers and on the
streets, viii increase the number of its
/ employees early in September. The in
crease will come through the beginning
OF operation in the construction of its
new boarding house. Mr. Whitaker
who superintendent the building of the
Peck mill, drew the plans for the Kings
new boarding house and will have
charge of its erection. Mr. Whitaker
is thorough mechanic, and the fact
that he will put up the new structure
IS safe guarantee that it will be first
class in every particular.
The DAILY West company's new hoist
ing plant is now in active operation
and work through the shaft was begun
Thursday night. The test run made
proved the machinery to be all thai
was claimed for it and only a few
minor alterations were necessary to
make the big plant perfect in every
! detail. The plant is a beauty anC
well worth trip to the mine to see
Just what size force will be put on nov
that the mine is thoroughly equipped
has not yet been determined, and MAY
possibly be regulated somewhat by the
daily quotations on silver and lead
Mr.. DAILY is sick and has not yet beer
out to see the machinery work.
1t seems that Mr.. Halls denial of the
lease and bond obtained upon the
Hawkeye mine, as stated in last week
Record, was more technical than any
thing else, for the reason that the lease
and bond was obtained by the com
pany with which Mr.. Hall is identified
and which is now working the Grown
Point mine, and not by him indi
vidually. The lease runs for term Of
two years and calls for $50, GOO, 81, 500 Of
which has been paid. The property
was visited this week by P. Ryan anc
James Glendinning, both of Salt Lake
1t is understood that operations will
be commenced in the near future ant
the big shaft cleaned out
Surveyors have been busy during the
past week running a line from the new
Peck mill over the hill to the DAILY
West mine, the object being to estab-
fish a. route and grade for a buckles
tramway between the mill and mine
