PARK CITY, Feb. 25.-Park City's
mines are all showing UP Wei this week
and the output for the future prom
ises to be large.
The West Daily last week made
good strike in good ore that promises
good returns when greater depth has
been reached
The Ontario comes this week with
even better prospects for its stock
holders in the rich strike made on the
cross-cut from the drain tunnel l4VO
feet west of No. 3 shaft.
The Anchor is also making good
Roadway on its 1.40O level and some
really good ore is now being mined
which finds its way to the sampler and
snnelter. It is the opinion of practical
miners who are in a position to know
that the time is not far distant when
this mine will be on the list as div
idend payer, which fact will be pleas
ant to its many stockholders in this
camp.
The Daily is making good progress
on its lower south drift that will cut
the south vein when about 1000 feet
has been reached 900 of which has al
ready been run. The ground has been
very tight and also wet, notwithstand-
ing which gratifying progress has thus
far been made. Three shifts have,
when convenient, been operated and
when the ground was favorable two
machines on a bar have been utilized
Ttmbers have been put in and sills ad-
j1sted for troughs TO carry away the
quantity OF water encountered When
this drift is completed 800 feet OF virgin
ground will be opened up and ready Tor
the stopers. Mr.. Quinn, the foreman, Is
more than satisfied with the present
and prospective showing made.
The sun has during the past ten days
played havoc with the roads, large
streams of water find their way down
the deep Tuts of the canyon roads
made by the heavy ore teams; yester-
day the teams hauling from the Silver
King to the sampler had to transfer
their precious freight from sleighs to
ore wagons, the summer vehicles at the
head Of Main street. The writer is in
formed of the probable scarcity of coal
to run the West Daily works on &C
count Of the light loads the coal teams
are h uling in consequence of the
breaking up of the roads. All indica-
lions point to an early spring. Certain
ly the past few days are considered by
old timers as the harbinger Of spring.
Let it come.
Prof. and Mrs. T. A. Jennings were
pleasantly remembered last evening
Of the well wishes of their many friends

Independent band serenaded the young
and popular couple on their return
from a short and pleasant honeymoon
at their temporary home on Main street
at O'Clock last evening. Mr.. Jen-
nings and his charming bride were
equal TO the occasion and greeted the
boys in heart and spirit. Refreshments
and cigars were served the boys and a
most enjoyable evening spent by all.
