The Daly-West mill closed down yes
terday for repairs Two new jigs were
! put in and other necessary improve
ments made that will increase the OUT
put. Work will be resumed tomorrow
or Monday. AT the mine, work is
| moving forward with the usual smooth
nes.-
Fred Flindt and associates are doing
splendid work at the Apex, ore being
steadily extracted and concentrated,
and regular shipments being made.
The mine is looking tip-top and the
concentrating plant is working salts
factorily, consequently the boys are
happy and making hay while the sun
Shines.
The leasers who are working the
Alice, up Woodside canyon, are stead
lily driving the tunnel forward, and are
as confident as ever that their labors
will be rewarded with the uncovering
of mine. For over three years they
have patiently sought the hidden treas
ure, and if anyone in the camp de-
serves success these bows do.
The. work of tearing down and max
ing ready for new work at the Ontario
mill has been going forward all week.
Early next week the work of REBUILDING
the furnace will be commenced, and the
oiu Xiii DuS III TedulueSS4 10 sIeSuiHe
work on Ontario ore, which is expected
will happen about the first of the year.
1t will be a welcome sight to see
smoke again emanating from the stack
of the Ontario, after so long a siege of
idleness-
The preliminary work was commence
ed yesterday for the sinking Of the 500
foot shaft on the Putnam ground. The
company has concluded to do the work
itself and sinking will be pushed with
all possible speed under the supervision
of D. c. Mclaughlin, with Frank A.
Evans as foreman. The shaft will be a
accompaniment one and first-class in
every particular. The sinking of this
shaft is quite an important event, and
VIII develop some interesting features
in the history of this camp.
Ore-hauling to the old Anchor con-
contractor ceased yesterday, and after
cleanup is made, which will take but
a few days, the machinery will stop,
and the old mill that has turned out
so MANI thousands of tons of concen-
trates, will be dismantled. Nearly all
the machinery will be taken up to the
new mill, where it will be used in con-
nection with the new machinery that is
now on the road. 1t is fully expected
that the new mill will be grinding out
concentrates by the end of the present
month
The Valeo is not making much noise,
but work is being prosecuted unceas-
ingly and intelligently, which is bound
to result in adding it to the long list
OF dividend-payers of the state Last
Wednesday ground was broken for a
new tunnel, about midway between the
boarding house and the present tunnel
which will cut the vein $50 feet deeper
than at present. 1t is estimated the
tunnel will be driven about 600 feet be-
fore the vein is cut, and three shifts
will be kept constantly at work until
the same is completed. In the mean
time work will be prosecuted in the
mine and shipments made with the
usual regularity.
The Weber and Kearns mill is now
practically through with it's labors, and
hereafter the great Silver King mill
will take care of the ores that have
for so many years kept the former mill
in operation and added so materially to
the bank accounts of the owners Near
ly all the men were laid off Yesterday,
and nothing more is to be done but to
clean up and put the machinery in
proper order. John ]. Kearns, one of
the owners. is already at his home in
Nebraska, where he proposes to per-
locate, visiting Utah occa-
sionally to look after the various in
terestSwhich he still has in the state
Mr.. Weber will remain in the Park, but
just what he will devote his attention
to he has not decided.
Ore Shipments.
