Reports of a Rich Strike in the DAILY
Mine.

It was reported the early part of the
week on what seems TO be good author
ity that a new ledge of high-grade ore
had been cut in DAILY No. ?. The pay
streak is three feet in thickness. and
was encountered on the 1000 level. Our
information. although not coming from
an official source, IS so direct that II
cannot be questioned. and the RECORD
reproduces it with the positive aSsur-
ance that if called upon It will find no
difficulty in verifying the report The
Daily is still great proposition.
FROM AMERICAN FORK.
ii. McPhee returned from American
Fork canyon Tuesday, where he had
been on a visit of inspection to some
mining property which he and his as
sociates are having developed. Mr.. Nc
Phee reports considerable activity in
the canyon. The Live Yankee, which
adjoins his property is being put in
shape for d season of extensive opera
tions. A jigging plant has been put in
and the second-class DUMP is being
concentrated. A large tonnage of first
class ore was shipped from the prop
erty last season. but it is intended that
this years output will eclipse all former
records. The Live Yankee is a gold
proposition, and some of the ore is of
very high grade. Other Park City peo-
pie operating in American Fork are
Milo Shurtliff and partners and Hy
Bates and George Slade. The former
had a magnificent surface showing in
their property last fall, and a tunnel
was started to tap the ledge at a
depth of $50 feet, and that project is
being energetically pushed at the pres
ent time. Big things are anticipated
for the Sliurtliff group. The Rasband
brothers are also doing some develop
ment work on their ground in the east
ern portion of the district. They have
a iattering showing of gold bearing
rock. The Miller mine. which in days
gone by was the life and mainstay of
the district, is in the hands of leasers,
and a small quantity of high grade ore
is being extracted.
PROMISING PROPERTIES.
One of the most promising pieces of
mining ground in Uintah district is the
Donovan group of ten claims situate
on the southern end of Crescent ridge.
The development work on the property
consists of a tunnel 1.400 feet long
running from west to east, prosecuting
the formation. In it three veins show
ing commercial values have been cut,
but the pay streaks are not large. OF
late years nothing beyond the neces-
Sary assessment work has been done in
the ground. but this season a little
more energy will be displayed in its
development In this district there are
numerous properties such as the Dono-
van group in which valuable mineral de-
posts are known to exist and with sill
yer at a respectable figure they. would
all enter the field as prolific producers.
notable instance is the Kennedy
group of IS patented claims. which lie
a short distance northwest of the DAILY
%ln
King. Its location shows that as
Silver-lead proposition the Kennedy
group is silt-edged. The principal
owners in the group are Henry Newell,
John Kennedy and Frank James, and
they are only waiting an advance in
the price of silver TO commence opera
tons. A shaft sunk on the property
cut chute of rich ore, but it was not
followed on account of the presence of
water in troublesome quantities.
THE CREOLE LEASE
Tuesday the Creole company by ]. NJ.
Lockhart, secretary, notified Martin
McGrath, F. n. Timer and John Beck
that their rights as lessees of the Creole
had been forfeited because of the sus-
pension of work for a period of ten
days during the month of June. Adam
Paul went TO Salt Lake Tuesday for
the purpose of serving notice on the
lessees 10 the above effect. 1t seems
that the lessees have been unable. or
through negligence. failed to pay their
men for something over two months,
and about Is days ago the men quit
work, and as they did not return to
work for period of ten days the
lease between the Creole company and
McGrath ct al. became null and void
in accordance with the terms of the
agreement.
