Ontario mill We're laid off last night,
leaving the mill idle, and it will SO re-
main until next Monday or Tuesday,
when the Stetefeldt furnace will have
sufficiently cooled down to allow the
men to get inside and clean out the
dust chambers. The cleanup from this
source viii be run through the ANAL
amating pans and then melted into
bullion.
The year 1897 ends with the Silver
King mine showing up magnifcently
as to its ore bodies. and employing the
large force of 10 men. 1t is the main
stay Of the camp at present, and Park
City people are very glad that appar-
emily there seems to be no danger that
the adverse silver conditions will nee
essitate a close-down Of this mine. No
definite information can De obtained as
to the probable construction Of the
proposed MILL for which a space was
cleared east of the Silver King board
ing house last summer. Messrs. David
Keith, president, and Thomas Kearns,
manager, are both in Salt Lake this
week, attending the Crescent VS.. Silver
King water damage suit, now being
tried in the United States circuit court.
TWO shifts OF men are working on
the Alice shaft, which is now down 400
feet, in white lime. They are following
down directly on an old water course,
which supplies good air. A drift has
not yet been started for the vein, as
it is desirable to determine what the
present lime formation in the shaft

James Kescel, jr., narrowly escaped
having a leg crushed yesterday at the

ployed. He was assisting in handling
one of the big rolls, weighing about
5000 pounds, of the Bradley crusher.
1t toppled over against him, but luckily
his limb was saved by a crescent
shaped iron shoe from the Huntington
mill The points of the shoe, on which
he happened to be standing, prevented
the roll from crushing his leg, and he
escaped with a slight cut that will lay
him up for only a few days.

news the Silver Star says:
Jerry Kunkle on Thursday finished
the assessment work on the Morning

Judge Green yesterday completed
the assessment work on the Pacific
Mining company's property near the
Julian Lane. A shaft has been sunk
and a crosscut run to the vein and
we are advised that the showing is
most favorable.
4 strike of ten inches of high grade
silver ore is this week reported in the
Molly Bawn. We are unable to learn
the assay values but are advised that
it runs high. The strike was made in
the bottom of the shaft and is consid
cred an important one.
The Boss Tweed Mining company this
week gave a lease in that property to
E. n. Jenkins and others. Work of
developing the mine will commence
next week and viii continue as rapidly
