I will say that you lellows here have
more good nerve than anyone I ever

me. 1 want to dig CLAIMS

Joined DAILY
Assistant Chief Donovan mounted the
porch of the boarding house and said:
Gentlemen, we have been entertained
right royalty here and some of US ought
TO say something. L know of no man
better qualified to do the work than
Chief Taylor of Richmond
ChleF Taylor responding said: La
dies and Gentlemen: 1 cannot make a
speech after what 1 have seen. The
wonders of the day are so srupendous
as to cause me to forget everything /
ever knew. l have had an Arabian
Nights entertainment today. All I can
say is, three cheers for Daily and the
Daly-West and three cheers for Park
CITY, the great Ontario, and every 9th
er mine here
The cheers were given with royal
Will. DAILY made a brief response, but
1t was a good one. He said: Gentle
men, thank you for your kindly ex-
pressdons. If silver is we'll taken care
OF and we get the chance to reap the
reward of our labor, we will be ready
and willing to make life pleasant for
you when you come again. If it is not,
then 1T is all off, and we are all poor
men in the west. We have staked our
all In this business and are looking to
ward you to do what is right by
US. (Cries OF 1--WE will especially from
Ffsk.) You have seen this day that min
ing is not play by any means; that all
we get we earn. There has been silver
taken out of the mines in this camp
which has cost the owners of the mines
SLIGO per ounce. 1t isn't as cheap ma
terial as some would have you believe.
c"That'S right" from F'isk.) Give us a
chance and we will begin buying goods
of you again. We haven't done much
trade with you for a long time because
we haven't had the money"
The party then inspected the Marsac
mill, where the battery of So stamps
full of solution. Chief Humphreys
was very much interested to learn
that floating down a small f1une was
silver in solution and when the party
were shown how the stuff was precipi-
tated and then shipped. all were in
tensely interested. The foreman
dropped all his work and took charge
of the visitors and everything was
explained.
The wonder of the visitors was in
creased as thew saw the many pro,
eessas which are necessary to convert
silver from ore into bullion and the re-
mark ''silver isn't so cheap after alp
was frequently heard.
The inspection of the mill ended, the
party took the train and came to the
city
1t is to be regrefted-is regretted by
all that through a misunderstanding
the party did not take dinner at the On
tario. Mr.. Parker had everything +
seemed TO know of the arrangement I'M
til it was too late. The visitors to a I
man asked The Herald to convey to I
the management their thanks for the |
courtesies extended and their regrets
at not being permitted to partake of |
the western hospitality which would /
have been bestowed.
The fire chiefs left on a. special over
the Rio Grande Western last evening |
at 7:40. There were several citizens
present at the depot and the handshak-
ng was hearty ON both sides. Salt |
Lake city diliked very much to part
with the chiefs. They are all good fell
ows and may their lives be long and
heir habitation beyond the shadows be
n a land where hose and hydrants,
chemical engines and cellar MOBILES,
axes and smoke helmets are not need
ID
