The Record stated some three weeks
ago that T. r. Jones and associates
would build g Peck concentra ting mill
in Park City. and from an interview
with j. J. DAILY, who is interested,
showed conclusively that this camp
was the only logical point at which the
mill could be built and conducted on
thoroughly economical basis. How
ever, when it came to arranging de-
tails, hitch occurred in the matter of
a water supply, and using that as a
basis many croakers and birds of i'll
omen began to say that it was doubt
full if the mill would be built. This
week all doubt has been cleared away;
the site has been decided upon, water
supply provided for and the fact given
out that construction will begin in the
near future. The other features men
toned in the Records former article,
we are assured by Mr.. DAILY, will also
come to pass, and "a tramway will be
built from the Anchor tunnel to the
new mill. Next week we will make an
effort to give our readers some of the
details which are now secrets owing
to the unfinished condition of proposed
plans. There has never been any real
