Items of Interest From This Great
Silver Cf mn

The Silver King has declared it's 18th
consecutive monthly dividend of s37, 500,
payable April TO-
Woodside. will distribute their monthly
checks to his boys in day or two
Two shafts are now working in the
drift in the Creole from the 3O0-foot
station, prospecting on the vein. Good
ore is being piled up in the dump which
VIII be put on the market as soon as
| 1T can be delivered at the sampler
Another body of ore was uncovered
yesterday in the 1.10O-foot level of the
Ontario No. 3. This is gratifying news
TO the owners of that great producer
and the hundreds of men who earn and
have earned their daily bread in it for
years.
| Martin McGrath put six men to work
| TIC ochre proposition on Gold hill in
which he is interested. The tunnel
which is now being driven is in a large
body of brown ochre. An analysis made
at Salt Lake yielded, ii is said, 40 per
cent iron. 1t is believed that the per
cent will increase as distance from the
surface increases.
The Constellation mine was visited
yesterday by President w. c. Lyman,
W. H. West and ]. W. Petit all of
Salt Lake. President Lyman was
wearing handsome smile on his re-
turn. He gave the writer to under
stand that, in his judgment. the Con-
stellation will be a shipper in a few
months. The water. which was en-
countered a few weeks back and for
the handling of which it was thought
that pump would be necessary, has
ceased to flow, and the works are dry
again.
do you know when work will be re-
sumed in the Peck concentrator? was
asked the writer several times the past
week. OF course we don't know and
doubt very much if anybody in Utah
does. We were assured, while at Salt
Lake in the beginning of this year,
that the machinery would begin to be
delivered about the middle of March.
But that date has come and gone, and
the mystery which shrouds the move
ments and intentions of the Pecks are
still wrapt in Egyptian darkness.
In spite of the very deep snow on
the mountains up Beaver creek and the
forks of the Provo river in that sec
ton, a gentleman from Kamas in
formed the Patriot this week that
prospectors are coming in there in
greater numbers than any time since
Beaver creek mineral lands were first
mentioned. This bids fair for lively
times up that way when the snow is
off. AT present the property of the
Summit Mining company is in the
most advanced stage of development.
The incline shaft in the Silver Queen
is no feet deep. Our informant of
yesterday said that the hour he left
Kamas word had been received there
that what seemed to be pay rock was
struck in the bottom of the vein. which
has widened out from a few inches to
three feet. The rock is high in silver
and very high in lead. The stock of
the Summit Mining company is divided
into 100000 shares at the par value of
81. The property is distant about II
miles east of Park City.
The Deer Valley Consolidated is a
fine group of claims, only short dis
lance southeast of Park City, on v-t.eh
considerable intelligent development
has been done. There are IL claims in
the group, all of which are unpatented
and owned by H. S. Sharp, George j.
Barry, DR.. G.. D. Gregor. Charles and
Maurice Barnes. better known as
Barnes Bros. All the work done on the
property has been done under the
supervision of Barnes Bros. and Mr..
Barry, three experienced miners. The
work which is going on at present is
being prosecuted in tunnel No. 4, which
has a length of 1,235 feet. 1t is in a
large mineralized vein of silver-lead
ore, but not sufficiently mineraliZed to
give it a CONNER cial value. This vein
was encountered several weeks back.
and seems to be gradually improving
in quality A discovery of rich ore in
large bodies in the Deer Valley Con-
solidated would insure the working of
two other properties in that vicinity
this year, which are owned by men
who have ample means to meet all
legitimate expense. Hence the import
ance to this camp of the evolution of
the Deer Valley Consolidated from a
promising proSpect into a producer
