Choir In the Near Future.
The Park City Record. in its weekly
mining review, says;
superintendent Chambers of tina on
tario company came up from salt Lake
Thursday morning and returned agaiH
yesterday afternoon. It was expected
that final action would be taaet r.
garding q tight shut down. but there IS
yet some finishing work to be done at
the mine. and a small force CT n1en Is
sin ernplovei at No. g. The Ontario
nlill is also running as usual The
Marsae is practically through with the
Test run on Ontario tailngs and assays
of the product have been made Ins
refinery has not yet converted the SUI
phides into bullion, but that Will re-
quire only few days more, when, II
q conclusion is not arrived at to work
up the tailings dumps, nothing VIII re
main to be done and the fires Will be
drawn from the steam boiler furnaces
and the whole works closed, -
far as the reduction of ore is concerned.
1t is thought that should the company
decide to work up the tailings. some re-
pairs and slight changes win be made
in the Mill before active operations ara
again commenced. But if anything
definite has been decided upon, it is rot
known here.
At the Anchor mime it is confidently
expected at any minute to break INTO
the ore body on the l609-leYei, whlch,
when accomplished. means 100 feet Of
virgin stopping ground. and with lead at
its present price, the declaration Of
dividends to the stockholders. The VII
fey tables ordered for the cOncentrat-
or arrived yesterday. and when placed
in position the output of the mill VIII
be increased 10 the extent of their ac-
ded capacity.
Dame runor has it that Jack Quinn
has . lease ON the upper Levels of the
Daily mine, down 20 the 500, but inquiry
at the Ontario Office here failed 70 con-
firm the rumor. Mr.. Chambers had re
turned to Salt Lake and BoOhkeeper
T. J. WesteOtt disclaimed any knoWl-
edge Of it. The report, as il came to
the Record yesterday afternoon, was,
in effect that Mr.. Quinn had ecuT5d
such a lease and that he was extracting
the ores OF the levels above the 900
and dropping them down TO the 500,
Wnere they are being loaded on cars aud
brought through the ontario GOO tunnel.
Mr.. Quinn has not yet been seen, and
we are una bic to verify Inc Tumor-
lust rs soon as the Utah Central can
get things in shape to handle II, ali
shiplnenfs Of Silver King ore viii be
made over the little road instead OF the
Union Pacific. as at present. II IS
thought that the Rio Grande Western
people VIII make a STRONG and more
shan likely successful effort 10 control
the shipments Of the entire output of
Park City mines. as their practlca
ownership of the Utah Central brings
them in as direct competitors of the
Union Pacific. Whether h. l>4o or1nAe
Western gets ii all or not its fcothold

producers in the way OF better frelgot

The work Of sinking at the Alice goes
steadily on. The shaft is now oyer 800

progressing at the rate of four feet a
