Increased Activity in the Mines of
the Camp.

The Silver King Crescent water suit
has been postponed until after the
holidays, when it will again be taken
up by Judge Hiles and finished.
1t is rumored that the Began prop
erty which has been idle for a couple
of months, will resume operations
shortly after the new year. Mr.. Bo-
gan says the resumption is not as yet
an assured fact but that he hopes to
make it so within the near future.
]. j. Daily informed the writer this
was completed and proved that it
could handle Daily West low grade ore
successfully he would begin the con-
struction of his wire rope tramway.
He has matters in such shape that OPP
erations can be gotten under way on
very short notice.
Work is being steadily prosecuted on
the Cumberland group and the shaft is
now fully $50 feet below the tunnel
level. While the vein cut through above
and duly reported III these columns
was most promising no drifting has
yet been done and will not be until the
shaft reaches a greater depth than
at present. The gasoline engine is
working to perfection and is a great
convenience up there where water is
so very scarce.
Silver King mine Monday. Tim Sulli-
van being advanced to the position of
general foreman with full authority at
taching to that position. Mr.. Sullivan
is not only a first class miner, but a
thorough gentleman and his scores of
friends will be pleased at his promo
ton. The shift boss berth made vacant
by his advance was filed by the ele-
walton of Duncan ellis, another ca
pable and agreeable gentleman. The
Record extends congratulations.
The Anchor mine will resume opera
lions with a reasonable force not later
than Jan. 3 This information is au-
thenticated by Superintendent Keith,
and will be a source of satisfaction TO
great many people in Park City and
the Record is pleased at being able
to herald the glad tidings. The work
will, for the present, be confined solely
to development work. The property
now has an excellent showing and Mr..
Keith hopes to materially improve its
condition in the near future
Last week 221 shares of Vallejo stock
changed hands at 81 per share, eX-Gov-
ernor Thomas of Salt Lake being the
purchaser. Work at the property is go
ing forward with more VigOr than ever
before, for the mine has been closed to
all visitors, thus shutting off a source of
interruption that has cost the company
many dollars The lower tunnel is now
lay-off work will be crowded with in
creased energy. The company is still
hauling ore and the ore body is Just as
promising it ever was.
John Malta returned Wedr esday from
his gold claims in Missoula county.
Mont, and brought with him some very
fine specimens, free gold being very
plentiful in every piece of rock. There
are five claims in the group and the
showing is a most favorable one accord
ing to the description of Mr.. Malta. but
It will take a fully equipped plant to
begin with to put the property on pay
ing basis. The gentleman is one of Park
Ike to see him make a success of the
claims.
w ]. Wilson came down from the
Boulder Basin group for Christmas, and
reports the old shaft cleaned out and
everything in shape for active work. He
was the worst he ever tackled, there be-
ing fully 90 pounds of 1eld squirrels and
chipmunks in the bottom of the shaft
in an advanced stage of decomposition.
Mr. Wilson says this is the first season
he ever saw in the camp when one could
travel about Bonanza Fiat on horseback
at this time of year and he has been
here for 10 years The Boulder Basin
group is on the copper belt, and most
promising block of ground.
