The splendid new boarding house,
erected last year, has been made more
attractive by identifying the grounds
in front. First-class ore is shipped to
the sme,ters. and the second-class IS
worked through jigs by Weber &
Kearnss, who have greatly improved
their facilities by the erection this
spring of g. steam jogging plant. The
officers Of the Silver King are: David
Keith, president; Thomas Kearns, vice
president and manager; W, S. McCor-
nick, treasurer: w. G. Lamb, secfe-
tary; board OF directors, David Keith,
w. s. Mccormick, Thomas Kearns,
James Ivers. NJ. Y. Rice.
THE ANCHOR.
During the year there has been en-
ployed at the Anchor a force of men,
mostly doing development work, al
though enough ore is being taken out
to pay the running expenses. Sixty
four men are now on the mine pay rolls.
The average monthly output of ship
ping ore has been about Is tons. From
August to November, the daily e1trac-
ton of Second-class ore was 80 tons,
and since that date it has increased to
70 tons The development work on the
500, 200, 1900, 1,400 1000 and 1,650-foot
levels is looking very promising. Dur
ms the past year the company has pur-
ClidSSQ u COASlSi6IdDIe ctillOulll VI 11li1i-
ing ground adjoining the property. The
drain tunnel, one and quarter miles
in length, from the 1900 level, carries
off an immense quantity of water,
which has always been a great him
drance in the development of the prop
erty. The shaft, which is 1,650 feet the
deepest in the camp, is operated by the
best improved modern machinery.
In the month of May the company
commenced making improvements on
the concentration, which was put in
operation in August. There has been
added three Willy tables, one Johnson
table, one Bradley mill, one improved
Huntington mill, and new engine
has also been placed.
By the improved equipment there is
saved q greater per cent of silver and
lead from the ore without increasing
the amount of zinc. The capacity is 100
tons daily. Two shifts of % men have
put through 20 tons daily.

summer will see machinery replacing
hand work on claims where water
oothers, and deeper work done. A
number of companies have been organ
lzed for this purpose within the past
few months.
WINNAMUCK.
Among former noted producers that
have been worked more or less the past
year, the old Winnamuck heads the
list Since early spring this mine has
been under bond to a. Fl. Borrnan and
associates, who have made important
developments, including sinking and
establishing a level at 400 feet depth.
Here in the east drift promising ore
body was encountered, believed to be
a continuance of the main chute that
gave up many thousands of dollars in
the early years. But pending compli-
ance with the terms of the bond the
lower work has been suspended, and
present operations are confined to pro-
duction from upper levels. We are as
sured, however, that explorations in
the 400 are to be resumed at an early
day, though the mine should revert

ONTARIO AND DAILY.
These two great mines were operated
as usual until August, when the man
agement decided to close down, being
forced to this action by the fact that
the properties were not making eX-
penses. A small force of 80 men viii
be retained at the Ontario, taking out
base ore and doing the necessary re-
timbering to keep the mine IN repair
The future operation of the property
will depend on the price of silver, and
it is authoritatively given out that the
start cannot be made until the metal
reaches 70 cents, as the company
claims there is no profit in working the
mine at a less price.
The closing of the Ontario and Daily
and the two mills depending upon them
has proven a severe blow, not only to
Park City. but to the country sur
rounding for a radius of several miles.
1t is not putting it too high to say that
LOCO men have been thrown out of
employment, for besides the men reg
ularly employed by the two companies,
more than zoo in number, there were
enough teamsters, lumbermen, etc., to
make a total of 1000. The mines af-
forded an excellent market for all the
products of the ranch and farm and
the company always paid literally for
them in cash.
This year the Ontario paid six
monthly dividends of $4,000 each,
making a total for 1897 of $4,000. The
last dividend was paid June 10. The
total dividends paid amount to $13,445,-
O00. The estimated output of the mine
for 1897 is 23,S49 tons of ore, contain
ing 919,715 ounces silver. The ,esti-
mated output of the Ontario mine to
date is $50, 132 tons of ore, containing
"a, OH ,S32 ounces of silver.
Following is a tabulated statement
of the Ontario mine for the year 1897:

HIGHLAND BOY MILL, BINGHAM.

land Boy operations, which came rather
in the nature of a surprise, is the py-
rite copper-gOld ore which has been
developed in the lower workings. In
running tunnel No. 5, established
to connect the mill with the
oXidized areas. the Dyritic ore
was encountered, and a body
of it As feet wide was cut through. 1t
was found to contain an average of
about 6 per cent copper, 214 ounces sill
yer, and SO in gold per ton. A drift
has been run from the No. 8 level
westerly something over 200 feet on the
main ledge, in a body of the pyritic ore
so feet thick, and it has not yet reach
ed the chute limit Shipments from
this ore are stated to have run. in car
lots, u per cent copper, 8 ounces silver
age is obtained of about per cent
copper, $3.50 gold, and to ounces sill
yer.
A shipment of the crude pyritic ore
was made in May, with returns so sat
isfactory that regular shipments were
begun in August starting with rs tons.
The output has rapidly increased, I'M
til this month the amount marketed
will reach 500 tons.
In passing, it should be stated that
favorable reports are given of results
at the mill, the clean-uDs having eX-
ceeded all expectations. The mill is
capable of reducing 100 tons daily, its
present average being stated to be be-
tween s. and 100 tons. Superintendent
BEETLES reports the loss in treatment to
be less than 10 per cent.
Particular reference is made to the
Highland Boy company's operations
and results obtained, not only be cause
they are of themselves significant, but
on account of the effect they are having
on what is known as the Bingham cop
per belt This covers a considerable
portion Of the area of West Mountain
mining district, and is numerously
dotted with claims, mostly held
under assessment work or in early
stages of development. The waters OF
various springs within this belt are
impregnated with one-fourth of one
half per cent copper. AS they have
drained the mineral veins for ages, it
follows that above water level exists a
lower grade of copper than below. The
pyritic zone of the Highland Boy at
the depth penetrated seems not to have
been affected SO much by drainage,
and consequently results obtained there
are a revelation to those who have
been gophering near the surface within
the influence of the springs. 1t is now
believed that claims in the copper ter
ritory that at surface show oXidized
ore carrying some gold and traces of
copper, are all underlaid with pyritic
pay ore. Accordingly much interest is
manifested in localities where only de-
sultory work has been done. and next

THE yALEo.
This well-known property, consisting
OF nine claims in Blue Ledge mining
district, was worked for II years by
John e. Johnson John Olsen. a. L.

ust, 1896, the property was incorporated
with 100000 shares at 81 per share.

money used in development work.
From the upper tunnel, which is
about 100 feet in length, and which

an incline has been sunk for 100 feet

given as high as 1925 ounces in silver,
50 per cent copper and $102 in gold,
while the ore shipped has Melted the
company from $23 to $50 per ton. The
lower tunnel is being run to tap the
ledge 400 feet deeper than the upper
tunnel and recent surveys show that
it should soon encounter the vein

After having been worked for 10
years by D. f. Condor, who made the
ore extraction pay the expense of de-
! velopment work on small scale, the

April, 1895, for 10000 shares at SO per
share Since then attention has been
given mostly to development work,
very little ore having been extracted.
The company has a large body of low
grade lead, silver and gold ore that
will work well by concentration, and TO
this end arrangements are now being
made to erect a small concentration, to
be equipped with Willy tables. The
work this year has consisted mainly in

OLD TELEGRAPH.
The Old Telegraph, now owned by the
Ccnglomerate Mining company, sold
1000 tons of ore in 1886, from which
there is a falling off this year of nearly
1900 tons. This has been due to dis
continuance of expired leases, and pos
sibly to the policy of the new manage
ment, which during the past four or
i've months. has not been in the line
of forcing production.

BINGHAM.
The Year Just Closing Has Been
Fairly Prosperous One.

Fairly Prosperous One.
The past year has, on the whole, been
a fairly prosperous one for Bingham.
1t will be seen by statement given
herewith, that, notwithstanding un-
favorable fluctuations in lead and sill
yer quotations and their depressing eff
feet, the ore shipments fell less than
1000 tons behind the output of 1896,
which was 54,016 tons. In 1896 the six
months from March to September were
active in ore movements, 95,494 tons
having been marketed. During the re-
maining four months the output was
hut 9,11S tons. The falling off was
mainly due to cheap lead and increas-
ed reduction charges ruling in the lat
ter months. These conditions and con-
current changes had a. marked effect
on the product for 1897, largely rever-
sing the record of the previous year.
The accompanying table, compiled by
J. 3. Graham, editor of~the Bingham
Bulletin, shows that during the months
from March to and including August,
the production was but II .752 tons, as
compared with the 9S,434 O. 1895, while
the product for the remaining four
months is over $4,000 tons, as against
911S last year. Some time elapsed after
the lead quotations began to show inn
provement before returning confidence
stimulated increased production.
DALTON & LARK.
An effect of the fluctuations is seen
in the record of the Dalton & Lark
In 1896 the comDany's product was q
fraction less than LOO tons. This year
it is about $500 tons. While the mac
tivity during 1897 at the Dalton & Lark
has doubtless been largely due to the
loss by fire of the large mill in con-
nection, and business complications
which may have made it's replacement
difficult, it is a fact that low market
quotations in the early part OF the
year discouraged the management, ano
caused a practical suspension of oper-
atoms. Had present prices for lead
and silver prevailed last January anC
following months, it is certain the COM
pany would have replaced it's mill ano
duplicated the output of 1896.
OLD JORDAN & GALENA.
The Old Jordan and Galena, Bing-
hams grandest of grand old mines
comes to the front with a product OF
is. 424 tons, as compared with S,135 il
1896, during several months of which
the Old Jordan was closed down. This
years product was doubtless stimulat-
ed by a favorable smelter contract, eff
fected by Superintendent Holden, under
which 1900 tons of ore per month could
be delivered should he so elect. Dur
ing the months from May to Septem-
Der. under the effects of the fiat mar
ket, Mr.. Holden seems to have lost his
grip: but he took a fresh hold in Sep

months have materially increased the

Mines that will be heard from in
1898 with a largely increased output
are the Fortune and keystone. Under
the management of Elmer Hill they

product having been extracted to meet
