SILVER KING DIVIDEND.
NEW MILL SAID TO Be ASSURED.


True to its monthly custom, the sill
declaring its usual dividend of s37.500
or % cents share, the same payable
on Thursday next the 10th Inst. The
Silver King is making a great record
in the way of dividend payments, even
in these perilous times. and at present
the mine is one of the best in the State.
and pride to Park City. the now desc
late district in which it is located.
When paid this dividend will give the
company a total of s1.3S7, 500, n sum of
which any mining company could well
be proud. For some time past 1t has
been reported that the Silver King was
about to have new mill and late in
formation seems to verify rather than
contradict the report. On this point
Saturdays issue of the Park Record
says:
KINGS NEW MILL ASSURED.
The Record Is in possession Of infor-
nation that it considers perfectly re-
liable to the effect that the silver
Kings new reduction works will posi-
lively be built during the coming
spring and summer. Just as soon as
the weather will permit the r. G. w.
will build spur from the depot into
Thayne's canyon, and from there
around the mountain side west Of town
to the silver King mine. This Is to be
done I'm time to haul the machinery
and supplies for the new mill without

direct from the works to the market.
The survey for this piece OF road was
completed last fall, and as soon after
the break-up of winter as possible the
work will be commenced.

ON WILLARD HILL.
There is Considerable Activity at Some of
the Best Mines.

b. F, Jones of willard was in Brig
ham Tuesday. For upwards of twenty
years Mr. Jones has been Interested
in mines on Willard hill and has done
considerable work there. He thinks
near to $4,000 In work has been done
on some Of the claims.
The American Is now working n
force of half n dozen men. They are
now in ore that runs well in copper.
silver and gold. An equal force is en-
gagged at the Superior.This claim boasts
a tunnel over 100 feet in depth. 1t is
in so far that II Is now necessary to
pump air down to the miners. The
laborers have recently penetrated the
wall and are momentarily expecting to
strike a rich main body of ore.
Mr.. Jones is Interested in the five
Bamberger claims. which are about to
be patented. Some of these were To-
Gated on account of the great deposit
OF almost pure iron ore. One of the
Willard mines is now bonded for $780,
900 to western capitalists who are ex-
pending considerable money in develop
ment work. Mr.. Jones Is of the opinion
that ore will be shipped from some of
the best mines this summer.-Brigham

in Parowan and worked around with
one and another for about two years,
when he became convinced of the truth
of the Gospel taught by the Latter

Church about year and a half ago.
Since then his course has been very
commendable. and he was growing in
