evidence last evening. The thunder
claps were sharp and at times the de-
donations sounded like the explosion OF

damage was done to the electric light
and telephone wires. The telephone
line to the Ontario drain tunnel was
temporarily disabled The fuse in the
Daily mine electric globes was burned
out. A hole was shot through the roof
of the Daly-West boarding house. No
other damage there.
At the Silver King mine the fire LIQUID
from the skies had a frolicking time.

house, from which floats Old Glory,
hit it midway and shivered it into splin-

house, and finding none, skipped out
under the ewes and few unbidden into
the hosting works. Lit first on the
turning sheet, and after circling around
a dozen or less times, divided in two
battalions. One Slid down the shaft for
the cable, the other skipped into the
machine shop, and after playing
around the engine a few seconds, van

the shaft made itself felt first in the
300 station. There Harry Thomas, a car
man, was leaning against the sucker
pipe. In jiffy he had that queer feel
ing; in another his feet slid from un-
der him and he went down sprawlirg
on his back. He thought it was a par
alytic stroke The boys on the LOO sta

the station six times before it vanished.
Naturally they were all scared. The
boys tell a good story at the expense of
Tim Sullivan. foreman of the Silver
King, which is really too good to be
told, if true. I learn that the storm ex-
tended to Kamas and Peoa, but at no
place was it attended with any fatal re-
suits.
Several Park City people went over

Drs. Wilson and Gregor performed a
delicate surgical operation on one of
the ears OF John Gr2nthan a miner of

recently from st. Marks hospital
where he spent several weeks with no,
perceptible abatement of the eXcruciat-
ing pain in his head. The surgeons here
are Of the opinion that there is an alb
cess formed in his head, and the oper-
alton yesterday was the first step in
an effort to determine the truth OF that
hypothesis.
Park City will have a grand Fourth of
July celebration. That fact is settled.
A finance committee has been at work
the past few days and secured d fund

Park City's celebration last year was
never before equalled in Utah, outside
of Salt Lake. This years may net be
