The Old Park Mine.

L. E. Ritter and c. E. Loose, the well
known Tintic mining men who re-
Gently purchased the old Park mine
which is located in the very heart of
Silver City, are now ready to begin
active operations in the development
of this property, and work was begun
Yesterday in the sinking of a new
shaft, with which it is the intention
10 prospect the mine below the pyrites
at a considerable depth.
Before beginning the work of sink
ing the surface was graded away as
arrangements have been made for the
installation of a steam hoist as soon
as slight depth has been obtained in
the shaft with the windlass
AS stated before in these columns,
it is the intention of the owners of
the Park mine, which has a reputation
as an old producer, to incorporate a
company for its thorough development,
and it is more than likely that the
papers of Incorporation will be filed
within the next few days.
The development of the Park means
without doubt another mine for Tintic
which will be on a par with the Swan
sea and the South Swansea, and as
work is to be pushed with vigor there
is every reason to believe that within
the next six months Silver City can
boast of another producer and dividend
payer in this property, to say nothing
OF the numerous prospects in that i'm
mediate locality which, at the present
time, give promise of falling into line
as paying mines a an early date.

Park Patriot lettings.

The writer learns from Salt Lake
parties interested in the Hawkeye bond
and lease that work will be resumed
in that property shortly. There is no
scarcity of money for the use of de-
Veloping the property, as has been
eroneously stated by irresponsible pa
ties. From the same party the Patriot
learns that ore taken out of a stringer
in the 300-foot level the day the mine
was shut down, before the holidays,
assayed, at Salt Lake, 81 in gold and
145 ounces in silver.
1t is now over two months since the
last ore was hauled from the Daily
roads Up near the mine there is rea-
sonably good sleighing, while down
lower, in Empire canyon. and all the
way to the sampler there is dust on the
road In consequence every available
place around the mine is filled with ore
waiting for shipment.
The Lucky Bill has about 90 tons of
first-class ore waiting for favorable
conditions to deliver it at the Mackin-
tosh sampler. Rumor on the street for
the past week is to the effect that
James Kerwin. foreman of Ontario
shaft No. 2, will soon be able to pre-
sent stockholders of that great bO-
nanza with an agreeable surprise in the
shape of a new ore body in the LOO
that will equal in richness the best
product of that mine. Mr.. Kerwin has
the reputation of being one of the best
expert practical miners on the slope.
hence it can be reasonably relied upon
that when he says the ore is there he
knows what he is talking about
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-01-09
Tintic Miner News.

1t is reported that the drift on the
700 of the Grand Central has reached
the ore channel. If true it means
much for TintIc. The company is now
engaged in the erection of an assay
office and ore house which gives color
to the report.
Work has commenced in earnest on
the Dagmar Eureka property. The
work is being done in the bottom of
the shaft in which some ore was
struck about year ago and we are as
sured by President Marks that the de-
velopment will be continued until the
property is proved up.
The recorders office has been a busy
place during the last week with the
numerous filings of new locations and
proofs of labor. We are unable to give
the list of locations this week on ac-
count of not receiving them in time, as
well as large amount of other matter,
but will give them in full next week.
George Adams reports the develop
ment of the Tennessee Rebel group
proceeding in good shape. The new
steam hoist has arrived and is now be-
ing put I'D on the ground. He also
advises us that Jesse Knight has pur-
chased one-quarter interest in the
ground and that the development will
be vigorously continued.
X. IT, wilson THIS week purchased OIL
John A. and B. H. Hunt one-third in
terest in the Lake View lode lying on
the east slope of Godiva mountain, the
stated consideration being s120. The
Lake View undoubtedly holds the same
vein of ore as is being worked in the
Godiva and is justly regarded as a
great piece of property.
Shipments from the district for the
week are as follows:
From the Bullion-Beck mine 80 car
loads ore, from the Bullion-Bec mill
ten carloads concentrates, from che
Centennial Eureka Hill mine seven car
loads ore, from the Eureka Hill mill II
carloads concentrates, from the Gemini
eight carloads ore, from the Humbug
three carloads ore, from the Mammoth
mill "a carloads of concentrates, from
the Ajax three carloads ore, from the
Sioux two carloads ore, from the
Carisa five carloads ore, from the Four
Aces one carload ore.
The showing now being made in the
Bullion-Beck is reported to be the
finest in the history of the mine. Local
parties who visited the workings of the
mine this week say that there is more
ore in sight than they ever before saw
in any mine. Every prospect drift
which has been run has been success
full in finding the ore and the riches
now exposed are greater than were
ever imagined to be contained in the
mine. Superintendent John Kirby is
particularly praised for his intelligent
and Workmanlike manner of prospect
ing the property.

CAMP FLOYD DEVELOPMENTS.
The Older Portions of the District
Are Not Neglected

While the greatest excitement pre-
walls on the west dip, says the Mercur
Mercury, the older parts of the dis
trict are not neglected. The Mercur
goes on in the even tenor of its way,
producing and milling 230 to $50 tons
daily, and paying dividends of $4,000
per month. There is talk of again en-
larging the mill, as the mine is in ex-
cellent shape to stand all drafts upon
it; the Geyser is operating its en-
larged plant, Squaring all debts con-
tracted in the past, and rapidly plac-
ing itself in position to pay regular
dividends; the Marion, the sphinx of
the camp, continues to grind, never
missing a day. The corporation is a
close one, and nothing is known con-
corning results, other than that they
are now milling an improved grade II
ore: the Sacramento mill is running
with excellent results and the mine is
now in the list of regular dividend
payers. The ore bodies increase in
area as development is prosecuted the
Sunshine is sinking from the bottom of
the incline to develop the lower levels,
and the prospects are Frightening; the
Golden Gate continues explorations
with a large force of men. The east
shaft, which is being driven down be-
low the arsenical ore body, has en-
countered a large body of oxidized ore,
anything yet uncovered, in the mine;
the Brickyard is prosecuting develop
ment with the aid of air drills, and the
ore bodies lose nothing in size and
value as they are exploited; the Gold
Dust continues the development of its
large ore bodies with the object of
putting up its mill as soon as spring
opens; the Wonder is pushing steadily
for the ore body, and some develop
ments were made this week; the Hecla
folks are shaping themselves to re-
sumo developments at once; the North
ern Light people are putting in their
3,500-foOt pipe line, preparatory to
starting their new mill; work on the
Herschel, another coming mine of the
camp, is being pushed ahead steadily;
work is being pushed on the Great
Eastern shaft: the Mercur- Mammoth
people are doing a large amount of
work on their property; the Anderson
is going right ahead; the Annie will
soon resume; many properties in the
vicinity of the Sunshine are being de-
veloped; the Electric company is pros
pecting its ground in an intelligent
manner; the Ella group near Clay can
yon, continues the search for gold with
gOod prospects; the Gladstone group is
being equipped with necessary build
ings and machinery and propose a flu
ture of much activity; the Seals re-
sumed work this week, and the Rover
expects soon to put on a force of men,
while that promising property, the
Eagle will not much longer be allowed
to lie idle. Besides this there are num-
berless properties in all directions
which are being earnestly and intelli-
gently proSpected.

CASHIER DISAPPEARS.
BARBER ASPHALT COMPANY
THE VICTIMS.
Myron B. Spencer Has Not Been
Heard From Since the Goth of
December, and There Are Those
Who Would Like to See Him.

Sioux City, Ia, Jan. S.-Myron B.
Spencer, cashier of the Barber Asphalt
company, having charge of the ac-
counts of the Sioux City and Omaha
offices, has not been heard from by the
company since the 29th of last De-
cember.
E. B. Demarest, superintendent of
the Barber company, arrived in this
city this morning from Kansas City,
and Immediately went to work on the
books of the company. Mr.. Demarest
was sent to this city from Kansas City
by H. r. Kasson, general manager of
the western interests of the Barber
company.
After making a hasty examination
of the books, he stated that the affairs
of the company in this city were badly
mixed. He said he had not heard a
word from Mr.. Spencer for some time.
The last he heard was that Spencer
had left Sioux City and gone to Omaha.
He took all the money there was in
the Omaha account, and since then his
whereabouts have been unknown. 1t
will be a hard matter to tell how his
accounts stand here. The company
was caught for $4,000 by the failure of
the Sioux City National bank, and had
81 500 in the First National bank when
that institution closed its doors. The
company did not keep a bank account
after the failures. Mr.. Spencer handled
all the money, which was shipped him
in currency. He kept his own account,
issued his own time checks and paid
the bills Mr.. Spencer did his own
auditing, having the full confidence of
the company. 1t Will be several DAYS
before it is known how much the COM
pany is loser. One authority said to-
day that the defalcation in the Sioux
City office would amount to almost
S5 0OO
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-01-09

he gave the Advocate a glowing ac-
count of affairs in the yearling camp
to our south. Three mines, the Opnlr,
Burro and SulphideS, are actively en-
gagged in taking out silver and gold ore
for regular shipments once in two
months and their owners find this
paying proposition, in spite of the dis
lance from milling centers and the con-
sequent enormous tariff on the ore.
Irregular sample shipments are re-
ported from all over the new field, X.
Hicks having recently Melted $40 ton
on a test lot sent to the mills and the
so-called Big Fourteen, that number of
Cedar City spectators. having tried
another lot with satisfactory results.
The Line City owners are confident
they have bonanZaS, as is evinced by
the prices they ask for deeds and OPP
lions. Not long since one Christie.
representing eastern money, offered
$50, 900 for one-third of the Sulphides
group. The Sulphides is a group of
four claims, however, and those in con-
troll ask $780, 600 for the whole lot, re-
fusing to break the bundle. The Burro
folk want $4,000 on their proposition.
In partnership with Mr.. Webb on
the Hard Times are c. Newell and
William Jewell. They have run a Is
foot tunnel towards a ledge that aver
ages $50 in gold and figure on % feet
iHOIS Vi QlSSlHSS cutting the lNe-lOOl
vein. Two caroadS of ore is piled up
on the Hard Times dump waiting for
the custom mill that is expected to
be built there before manv moons.
In case the mills fail to arrive Webb
and his associates will purchase an
arastra and cyanide process. by which
they estimate $40 a ton can be cleared.
The Rice brothers are interested in
several good claims and groups that
are yielding way-up ore, which is be-
ing sacked for shipment
Millett, McBurney and Mcdonald
have organized a stock company to
where free gold is plentiful.
William Godbe has selected site for
a custom mill and it is understood that
he intends setting I'D the plant early
this year The report is current also
that two other parties are contemplate
ing the erection of a mill and there is
therefore every reason to believe it a
sure go.
Nearly all the properties of conse-
quence will keep men at work all
winter. The town is growing steadily,
its population now being some 80 odd
souls. Three general merchandise
numbered among it's business fixtures
and it has lately obtained a tri-weekly
mail service, extended from Desert
