NICE LOOKING ORE.
w. j. Wilson Finds Small STREAK
in the AutunnaI.

w. j. Wilson Finds 4 Small Streak
in the AutumnnI.
William J. Wilson is working the
Autumnal calm. owned by Smith
Ehenger and located on the south SIDE
OF Pioneer ridge, under lease, and has
showing of ore the quality of which
makes ones mouth water to look at
ana think about, as it runs from $50 to
4uo ounces of silver to the ton, besides
carving very high in lead, being a
| most desirable smelling ore However
says the Park Record, the streak is
very small, running from one to Sour
inches in size, and Mr. Wilson is not
at all excited over the showing, and it
was only by accident that the writer
learned of its existence. The find is be-
ing developed by means of a tunnel
which IS now in about seventy feet
something like thirty-five feet being in
ore. Mr. Wilson says the streak may
widen out or pinch out; until it does
one or the other he is satisfied to de-
yelop ii quietly and take his chances.
He already has over a ton of first-class
ore on the dump, and figures that the
prospect is now paying its way.

CAMP CROSsCUTs.
Ed Stringer shipped another car of
jig ore this week.
The creek jiggers are all again in
active operation and results are report
ed as quite encouraging.
c. F. Davis, one of the Crescent leas-
ers. brought down 103 tons OF ore this
week over the tramway and will make
a shipment as soon as the rock can be
I sampled. James Farrell & Co. did the
hauling. The ore is fine looking rock
and should net Mr.. Davis a handsome
profit.
Work was resumed on the Crown
Point property Thursday afternoon,
and from now on developments will be
crowded with three shifts. The prop
erty lies just east of Ontario No. Q
shaft and is now in litigation with the
Ontario company, the basis of the suit
being ore extracted by the latter COM
pany' The defendant admits taking
the ore, but claims the right to do so
on the strength of holding the apex of
the vein.
Dr. X A Kjos went to Salt Lake
Thursday afternoon, his mission being
to purchase an engine boiler and pump
for the MISREPRESENTATION mine, at
Diamond. Tintic district. A large vol
ume of water was recently encountered
IN the shaft, and the purchase of the
machinery is necessary IN order to ham
die the same. The company has good
ore in sight. but in opening it up water
was encountered in such quantity that
it could not be handled without a
pump.
The directors of the Constellation
Mining company held a meeting in
Park City on Saturday, July %, and
levied another assessment of l per cent.
per share on the capital stock of the
corporation, payable Immediately. The
stock will become delinquent on
Wednesday, August 26, and the date of
final redemption is fixed for September
/ 16. The directors visited the mine and
/ found everything in excellent shape
and good progress being made. The
new friction engine works like a charm.
Work at the Peck mill is being
rushed as rapidly as possible both ON
the building and on the foundations for
! the machinery and boilers. General
/ Manager T. r. Jones was out from the
/ city Sunday ON a visit of inspection
and while here ordered a change in
I plans to the extent of a twenty-foot adj
! dition to the ore capacity of the struc-
/ ture With the present force it will be
( several weeks yet before the mill will
! be ready for operation. as there is
much work to be done. The plant pre-
sents a lively appearance just at
! present.
! The crank-shaft for the Daiy-West's
new hosting engine was taken to the
mine yesterday morning and has the
record of being one of the heaviest sim
gle pieces of machinery that ever ar
rived in the camp. its net weight being
! eleven tons. It required ten teams to
transport it to.the mine. and the wagon
used was a 81 special Studebaker, fur
nished for the occasion by the Utah
! Coal company. The load was stopped
in front of Adams, who took view OF
the outfit. which presented quite
sight and attracted great attention as
it passed un Man street.
