REPORTS from the dlleSO, says the
Park Record, are to the effect that
the ore body continues to improve as
depth is attained on the vein. An assay
obtained from a new streak that
showed up this week, gave returns of
$102 in gold, "A per cent copper and
4 ources in silver. The vein, which
is very wide, shows new characters
ties every day, and gives every evil
dence that the mine is going to prove
what the Record said it would-a
wonderful freak. Work is being prose-
cuted with great vigor, both in the
Wine being sunk on the vein and in
the big tunnel being driven to tap the
vein at depth, three shifts being
worked at each point. The company
is also putting the road down the can
yon in good shape and has a force Of
men at work under the direction of
J. E. johnson building a bridge across
the Provo river to give the company
an outlet from the canyon. The new
bridge will be a thoroughly substan-
tiaI structure in every particular ana
strong enough to carry a railroad train.
The boys say they do not propose to
build a new bridge every year or two
and will put this ore in to stay. When
the lilo Grande Western gets its pro-
posed branch built to Park City the
mine Will have a cheap and easy outlet
Tor its product as the line will pass
T. near the mouth of the canyon and
spur can be built to the mine at a tri-
fling cost. The Vallejo is a coming
wonder; at least all the indications
point that way.
PROSPECTING STILL VIGOROUS.
Prospecting by claim owners in this
district instead of dropping out Of
sight, as predicted by many would be
the result should silver be defeated. is
being prosecuted with the same vigor
as of yore. This fact establishes two
things: First, the prospector is made
of stern stuff and his bump of hope is
abnoTmally enlarged. Second, he is ca
pahle Of reasoning from cause TO eff
feet, and knows that however foolish
the civilized nations may become, the
unciViliZed will retain sense enough TO
continue the use of silver as money,
and as the latter far outnumber the
former, there Will always be a demand
for the white metal that will at least
allow living 10 be made in its ex-
traction. They also feel that if the
ballot is not taken from the people dur
ing the next four years. suffering and
want viii drive millions to exercise
their brains and use their right as free
men. Prospecting will continue in the
future as in the past, and when justice
is done by the masses and the white /
metal is recognized. Park City viii be /
in a position to profit by the change.
Again, recent developments along the /
gold-cOpper belt on which the Vallejo |
is situated, and over which the price /
of silver exercises little or no control, /
bids fair to give the camp a boom that /

extent of the price Of silver and lead.
CAMP CROSsCUTs.
The indications are that Park City's (
list Of dividend papers viii soon be in
creased by the addition of the DAILY /
West and Vallejo. Both are in a most
promising condition.
The directors of the Constellation
Mining company held a meeting a the
offlce of the company in Park City yes
terday and levied another assessment
of cent per share. There are no new
developments at the mine.
Tom White one of the well known
DAILY boys. returned Tuesday from
prospecting tour TO Box Elder county.
where he went to examine several Of
the gold-copDer properties being devel-
oped. He speaks very favorably of
the showing in the district for pay ore.

Others are still vigorously prosecuting
developments in the Alice claim in
Woodside canyon. They are still sink
ing and have some very promising
looking vein matter in the shaft.
though no permanent vein has as yet
been uncovered.
Some very nice looking rock, said to
carry gold, silver and copper. and sup
posed to come from Snake creek min
ing district, was shown the writer this
week. The ore came from the surface
and is claimed 20 be from new find
made in that district last week. tn
parry having the samples was very
reticent as to location, size Of vein. etc.
The resumption c. dividends bv the
Silver King company. while not Olex-
Dected, was a pleasant surprise 10 the !
average Parkite and to many stock
holders owing to the early date The
dividend was posted after Mr. Kearns'
declaration published in the last issue
Of the Record. The Silver King is All

that must be wasted in order to pay
