steel boilers for the Ontario company

pushed Just as rapidly as possible.
The Silver King is sending down lots
of ore these days, which means an
other dividend of $37, 500 next month.
There are very few mines in the world
like the Silver King.
The employees of the Anchor and the
Silver King companies got their checks
this week, which fact means a hand
some increase in the circulating me
dunn in this camp. The Daily West is
expected to pay off Monday next.
RaSband Bros, John Diem and others
who are interested in a gold prospect
in American Fork, mention of which
has several times been made in these
columns, are already preparing for ac-
tive developments as soon as the Wea-
Their will permit. They are satisfied
that depth will show up a good mine
The Record wishes the boys the very
best of luck to couple with their judi
ciouS management.
Contractor Z. J. Beggs now has a
large force of men at work in the yards
of the Hopkins Coal company, franz
ing timbers for the Morgans new
hosting plant. The work is being
rushed just as rapidly as is possible
considering the backward manner in
which timbers are arriving. Mr.. Beggs
says the work will be transferred to
the site of the new works just as soon
as the weather and snow will permit
The machinery is expected to arrive
and be in position by the time the
building is completed.
The Barnes Brothers have resumed
operations on the Deer Valley ConsoH-
dated property, owned by themselves.
Dr. Gregor and w. S. Sharp. They
have purchased a large amount of tim
bers, tagging and other necessary sup
plies, and propose to continue work
until late in the spring. A large
amount Of work has been done on this
property and it has good showing to
develop into big mine. The property
certainly has a good showing and per-
sistent work like that which has been
done in the past will certainly bring
its reward in time
Two trial runs of the machinery of
the new Daily West concentration have
been made, and on both occasions
everything was found to be just as
guaranteed by the contractors and
was, the writer is informed, accepted.
AT the same time no assays have been
returned from the product of the plant
and whether or not it will do the work
required remains an unknown guam
tity, but the ore produced indicates
entire success. AS yet the plant has
not been placed in steady operation and
may not be until spring, as no pre-
parations have been made for heating
the tables and jigs, nor for supplying
hot water with which to operate.
a new gold strike, in which several
Pari1ites are already interested and in
which several more hope to be, was
recently made near Gunnison in Sam
pete county. The interested parties
are Lawrence and Bob Kimbal and
F. r. Davis. and while the ore is
rather low grade at present it gives
every indication of improving in quail
ity as depth is obtained. At present
the rock which is almost Identical
with that at Mercur, shows assays
ranging from 81 to Sc in gold to the
ton The prospect was discovered some
two months ago by the Kearns bro
theirs, who got an expert miner from
Mercur to develop the ledge, and so
rapidly did il improve that on Wednes-
day Lawrence Kimbaii received a mes
sage asking him to come down on the
first train, that they had struck it
rich. The boys let one or two of their
friends into the secret and they are
now on the ground ready to make To-
cations. News, accompanied by sam
pies of the rock, is expected to arrive
tomorrow, when thorough tests of it's
value and the best means of working
it will be made.
