Parlk Record Notes.

The Ontario company shipped "A bars
of bullion Wednesday morning.
The rough weather of the past week
has greatly interrupted ore hauling the
Silver King teams being able to handle
only about half loads.
Tuesdays Salt Lake Herald says in
effect, that If the r. G. W. builds to
Park City via Provo, Taylor Brunton
will certainly build a sampling mill in
| this camp.
Superintendent R. C. Chambers came
out from the city Wednesday morning
and in the afternoon began the work
| of paying off the employees of the mines
mills and the tunnel ]. j. DAILY also
! paid off the employees of the Daily west
! this week.
TO date nothing is known in Park City
concerning the proposed new shalt Tor
the Dream lode which Mr. Shaughnessy
| was going to put down on such short
notice last fall and which the writer was
afterwards assured would be started early
in the spring.
The Cumberland was forced to close
| down this week owing to the fact that
after shooting in the shaft the air be-
came SO foul in the tunnel that the gas
engine, which requires lots of pure air to
operate, refused to do its work in salts
factory manner. To obviate the trouble
Mr.. Lawrence purchased q blower in
Salt Lake and yesterday the machine was
placed in position and today operations
Will be resumed IN the smart. lie HeW
blower is warranted to exhaust the foul
air in a few minutes and as it will be
operated by the engine can be kept in
constant motion. The property is now
well equipped and the shaft should go
down at a fair rate of speed.
That gold excitement promised Esrkites
as soon as the snow would permit of
reasonably decent travel, is still quietly
though confidently talked of, and there
is little question but that it will materi-
alize at least to a mild degree. The par
ties interested promise a genuine sensa-
ton but it is safe to divide their talk by
two.
Joe KesceI and Sam HowelIs made
| several locations the fore part of this
week over in Dutch canyon from which
they expect great results in the near
future. Recent developments in that
canyon have created conSidera BILE inter-
est in its productiveness and the coming
summer promises to be lively one. We
nope the boys have secured something
good.
The machinery for the Morgan COM
pany's new hosting plant has not yet
arrived, and it will probably be some
days yet before it puts in an appearance.
Walker Bros, of Salt Lake who own the
control of the property, have decided to
make a complete change in their method
of prosecuting developments in the old
works, and in future what work is done
there will be performed under contract.
Bids have been advertised for and are
now being considered looking to the sink
ing of the big Wine on the 500 level until
it makes connection with the old Daily
work, which is now so near that every
shot fired by the Daily men can be dis
tinctly heard by the boys in the Morgan
Wine. Until the contract is awarded no
more work will be performed by the
Morgan and the boys have all been laid
off until the matter is settled. The com
pany, of course, will furnish all neces-
sary supplies and provide engineers and
a man to operate the big blower that
furnishes the mine with pure air
