1t is expected that work will be re-
sumed in the Lucky Bill the coming
week, as the road from the DAILY mine
is almost passable for coal transporta
ton, or will be in few DAYS At a
meeting of the management held in
Park City Tuesday, an assessment of
IA cents was levied.
The writer heard of more develop
ment talk in the past week than he
has heard before in six months. There
is also considerable inquiry for mining
property. A representative of an east
ern syndicate who desires to remain
incog., went out into Wasatch county
this week to examine several mining
claims. He will visit the points on
the Beaver creek ere he returns.
Monday was pay day at both the
Silver King and Anchor mines. No
matter what other business is to be
looked after, Dave Keith and Tom
Kearns never permit the 10th of each
month to pass by without handing
out their checks to the men for their
labor for the past 80 days. That's the
proper caper These men have earned
their money, it's theirs and they ought
to have it.
A force of men are at work this week
on the Empire canyon road, between
the Dalv mine and the Massachusetts,.
shoveling away the ice and snow. AS
soon as the road is in condition for
traffic, ore hauling will be resumed, both
from the Daily and Daly-West. 1t is
estimated that the latter mine has
stored in it's mines and dump not less
than 100000 worth of first-class ore,
which runs high in silver and lead.
What appears to be a fine mineral
paint proposition was discovered re-
Gently by some Kamas gentlemen. 1t
is on the south fork of the Provo river,
about 90 miles southeast of Park City.
One of the discoveries brought some of
the stuff home with him, pounded II
to a fine powder, dissolved it with oil
and used it as commercial paint, and he
assured the writer that it could not be
distinguished, save by its peculiar bril-
liancy. from the manufactured paint.
Robert Bone of the Marsac mill force,
who has been out in the Blue Ledge
district for some time doing develop
ment work in the Bone group of seven
promising claims, was in the city Mon
day. The Bone group of claims is ad-
jacent to the Valeo. Mr.. Bone is well
pleased with the prospects. The indlca-
TONS he says, are such as would en-
courage any mining man of experience.
He is not bothering himself with assays
lust now, as he thinks he knows pay
rock when he reaches it. Mr.. Bone re-
returned to his camp Tuesday.
Frank North, Joe Bagley and John r.
Edwards located several mining claims
last winter in the Snake Creek mining
district. They are sinking a shaft on
one of the claims. Mr.. North was in
the city Monday to procure location
certificates, and brought with him gold
rock which he had had assayed and
which he assuered the writer Welded
s93 in gold and small per cent in cop
per. Quite naturally he looks forward
to the day-and that not far distant
when the newspapers will be publishing
him as the multi-millionaire of Charles
ton.
The Anchor concentration is being
brushed up this week preparatory to
the resumption of work probably about
the 1st of June. An eighthorse power
Corliss engine. used during the con-
struction of the Ontario tunnel. has
been purchased from the Ontario COM
pany. John Thompson, chief engineer
of the Anchor is over at Camp Florence
this week, where this engine is, to get
it ready for shipment to the Anchor.
This will give the Anchor concentrator
about 30-horse power more than the
engine it has been using, and it is
thought it's efficiency will be Increased
in proportion. Just what other i'm
nrovements will be made is not defin-
