trail Railroad company ran an excur-
sion yesterday.
Early on Sunday morning about SI5
tourists boarded the cars of the COM
pany at Eighth South and Main The
special would rot accommodate more
than $50, and in consequence about 125
took the regular train. which pulled
out at the same time.
Most of the cars were tourist
coaches" which added to the pleasure
of the trip, as il enabled the patrons OF
the company to take in the beauties
of the route to splendid advantage, and
when il comes to Grandeur of scenery
and a most pictI .Ssque ride, the Titan
Central is strictly in il. and II would
be difficult to find a more scenic route
in this western country, famed as 1t is,
for the beauty of its mountain rail-
roads.
From the city limits to the mouth
of Parley's canyon it would Stretch the
imagination to picture a country more
charming than Salt Lake valley, with
its groves and fields, and its beautiful
residences and comfortable homes;
while the ride up the canyon, with its
ever changing scenes. its majestic
mountains. the dashing, ripping
streams. the hillsides, clothed with yer
dure and decked with flowers, was full
of joy and long to be remembered
From the divide up to Park City an
other view presents itself to the de-

met by hundreds Of citizens who gave
them a right royal welcome.
Some of the tourists were met by
friends. others went UP for some par
ticular business. while the balance
scattered themselves over the city and
had good time generally.
Nearly every mine of note in the
camp was inspected. The great On
tario mine was visited; so was the
DAILY, the DAILY West and the Silver
King. and quite a number took advan-
tage of the occasion to make an exam
ination of the Valeo and the Constel-
Iation. in both of which important dis
cOveries of gold have been made of
late, and il might well be stated in
this connection that although the
clouds in the horizon of Park City's
hopes have not been strongly silver
lined of late. the fact that they are
Respondent with bands of gold has
done much to cheer the heart of nearly
every mining and business man in the
camp. as it begins to look as If the
Park was about TO take rank as BIZ
metallic district. and that in the future

Queer of gold as it has in the past for
its output of the white metal; to which
may we'll be added lead.
The showing in the Valeo strength
ems the belief that Park City Will yet
become noted for its gold mines, as
The Herald'S representative was cred

and is giving every sign of permanency
and continuity.
of course the main feature of the
days entertainment at the Park was
the return baseball game between the
Park City nine and the Browns of Fort
