PARK VALLEY

The Park Valley district IN Boxeder

this year on account OF the develop.

Angoye, an old Park city mining man.
-Four distinct veins run through the
property, consisting Of white quartz and
oxidized iron quartz In granite with a

the development OF the claims two
crosscut tunnels have been run TO the
ledge which, at the depth OF 200 feet
from the surface, shows an average
width Of eight feet The greatest salts
faction Is expressed by the management
because OF the splendid work done by
the Neral mill, which Is fitted with
three lO0O-pound stamps The three
sided screened surface to each stamp is
q great benefit, as It increases the
amount Of the ore handled and prevents
shines. In addition 10 the gold saved

a cyaniding plant by which further
values are saved by agitation. This
