the Record.
There is strip of country lying be-
tween Ontario No. shaft and Dutch
canyon, taking in Bald Mountain, that
in the estimation of many of the
Parks Oldest and best posted miners
men who have made a study of the
camps ore bodies and its formation
is the making of several mines just as
big and rich as is the Ontario. This
ground is all owned by men who have
not the means al hand tc develop their
different holdings as they well know
they should be developed, hence are
forced to plod along year after year
doing the best they can with their linn
tied time and means. The develop
ments made in the Vallejo group by
Messrs. Dahlgren, Urban and others,
proves that this strip of country con-
tains wonderful ore and that all that
is needed to make it rich and pros
porous is the magic wand of wealth.
Another feature that should be an in
ducement to capital, is thai the claim
holders along this belt of country have
extra large groups, many of them run
hing as high as twenty odd claims.
Throughout the entire district there is
no section that holds out greater or
more genuine Inducements lot the III
vestment of capital than the strip Of
country above mentioned, and the day
is not far distant when this assertion
will be proven to the satisfaction of the
world. Now is the time to get a foot
hold and go up with the great fortunes
that old Badly and adjacent territory
will yet add to the honest money of
the world through steady stream of
silver, gold, copper and lead.
THE PECK MILL.
Work on the Peck mill is being push
ed right along, and a large portion of
the frame is up, while a big corps of
workmen are rapidly getting the whole
structure in shape. The Union Pacific
has got its siding running to the mill
we'll under way and will soon have it
completed. Lumber and other supplies
needed in the structure arrives daily,
some twenty cars of lumber having
already been unloaded on the ground,
while one or more cars arrive each
day. The machinery, so the writer is
informed, will arrive by the time the
foundations are ready to receive it.
The Record has already had the privi-
lege of once saying I'VE told you so,'
and from what we learned yesterday
will soon be able to repeat the saying
in connection with this now famous
plant. The size of the structure is
exciting much comment, and our citi-
zens are just beginning to realize the
extent of the enterprise and what it
means for Park City though the real
benefits have not yet begun to mater
ialize. Mr.. Jones expects to begin the
reduction of ores early in September,
and is alrady investigating the re-
sources of the camp as regards the
class of ore required, while several
properties are preparing to begin ac-
tive operations in the near future.
CLOSED DOWN.
The DAILY West closed down Wednes-
day morning, the entire underground
force being laid off. Active operations
were at once commenced in laying the
foundations for the new hosting en-
CINE, and the work will be pushed as
rapidly as possible in order that it may
be completed by the time the machin-
cry arrives, which is expected shortly
after the 18th of the month. AS soon
as the new hoist is in place and the
mine settles down TO active work
again, it will at once take rank, we
predict, as one of the camps heaviest
and richest producers, as its ore re-
serves are practically unlimited, the
rock is rich. and will be easily mined,
owing to the systematic manner in
which it has been opened up and block
ed out. The DAILY West, in our Sudg-
ment, will be paying dividends before
winter whitens the hills.
CAMP CROsSCUTs.
Messrs. Kearns & Weber paid off
theis jig employees this week. that the
boys might have chance to blow
themselves on the Fourth. 1t was a
graceful act and very commendable.
The boys have not got mine as yet,
but have a splendid showing for one,
and with we'll directed and vigorous
developments that goal will be reached
in the near future. for there is not
only a big mine, but rich one, within
the boundaries of the Vallejo group,
on which the find is located.
The last lot of shipping ore sent out
by the Ontario company returned a
wonderfully fine average, going over
Si00 per ton. and Foreman Connolly
SAYS the old Ontario is still the biggest
mine, not only in the state, but in the
west This shipment proves that as
the mine goes to the deep its ores
are just as plentiful and richer than at
the surface.
. Inc ITSl COuSlSIHleIll Vi
for the Morgan's new hosting works
arrived Saturday afternoon last and it
is now nearly all in the Union Pacific
freight yards and will be taken to the
mine early next week by James Farrell
& CO. The machinery was built at
GAINESVILLE, O., and when in place the
Morgan will have one OF the best
equipped plants in the camp, and its
new shaft will be sent down as rap
idly as possible.
George Stafford received a letter this
week from his brother, Jim, who is now
at Phoebe, Nevada, and among other
business matters mentioned was one
item to the effect that he had secured
a most favorable lease upon a slum
dump belonging to one of the big prop
critics in that camp. Samples taken
show the dump to be a money making
proposition, and Jim feels quite elated
at having procured it. Regarding his
mission to Phoebe he had nothing to
say, but George volunteered the infor-
nation that he thought the tests Jim
went to make on a dump for Park
City men. had not yet been consum-
mated, but would be soon. Mr. SAT-
ford is well pleased with Phoebe and
will probably remain there for some
time.
