NOTES FROM THE PARK.
Interesting Mining Items Clipped
From the Record.

The Ontario company received this
week over the Union Pacific car load
of powder, which was safely trans
ported to the company's magazines.
Tom and Ed. Stringer, who are run
ming one of the many jogging plants on
the creek, shipped twenty tons of con-
centrateS this week.
Work has commenced on the founda-
tion and rock cellar for the new Silver
King boarding house, which promises
to eclipse anything of the kind in the
camp.
Robert Gorlinski, the popular and
competent mineral surveyor, was in the
camp this week making mineral sur
veys, at which he is an adept.
The MarSac mill started up again
Sunday last with ten stamps and is
now working in full blast. During the
close down the mill was thoroughly
overhauled and put in first class condi-
ton and is again in good order for
lengthy run.
The vein cut in the Woodside mine
some time ago, mention of which was
made in these columns at the time, is
improving in appearance, so much so
that Mr.. Kearns and others connected
with the development of the property
are satisfied that good mineral will yet
he found, though it may be necessary
to sink the shaft somewhat deeper.
The Putnam Mining company closed
down Sunday last on account of surface
water, which was coming in at lively
rate and greatly interfered with
operations. 1t is only surface water,
however, and will soon : cease from
| troubling. The incline has now left
| the vein and is following a course that
will facilitate hosting from a depth
as much as possible.
! Robert Bone, John Nelson and George
| Slade left Tuesday afternoon for two
months prospecting trip through the
southern mining districts. They will
visit Mercur, Tintic, Indian creek, New
| State, Skull valley and Deep Creek
while absent They have splendid
outfit and besides having a good out
/ ing expect to- make a close search for
| rich mineral. The Record hopes they
may find a genuine bonanza and all
/ get rich.
There was a draft of ten men at the
| Silver King mine Sunday last, ten men
being laid off, with the intimation that
more were to follow. Their places
were Immediately filled by new men.
The men themselves do not have any
| idea, or at least so say, why they were
laid off and Mr.. DAILY, who issued the
time. checks, refuses utterly to say
anything regarding the matter.
| The proposed new Peck concentration
will be built in Park City, and work
will begin early next week. This in
formation is authentic, notwithstand-
ing the sneaking insinuations of a con-
temporary who possesses more body
than brains and whose hired hatred of
the Record rs such that he would hon
estly be glad to see Park City lose the
mill in order to make the Record out
| as being mistaken
The present indications are that there
will be increased energy displayed in
this camp during the summer in the
direction not only of proving up title,
but in the matter of pushing develop
ments that will show that the mineral
resources of this camp have as yet only
been slightly proven, and that its flu
| ture promises much more than has
been realized in the past. Park City
is, without doubt, one of the greatest
camps on the coast
