RICHES OF THE QUINCY.
Ore Said to Run 500 Per Ton =
West Ontario option Shipments.

In its story OF the past week the Park
Record says there Is more talk OF the
quincy In mining circles and on the
streets of the Park than of any other
property. The sensational developments
OF this mine furnish ample subject mat
ter, while the difficulty of obtaining
definite information from II seems but
to whet the interest and add zest 10 the
efforts 10 unearth something. While
as before stated, II Is Impossible to get
exact figures or for that matter, any
Information from those directly inter-
ested, enough Is known to back the
statement that the Quincy Is magnitl-
cent property. and the surmlse that 1t
VIII not long remain off the dividend
list. Shipping OF ore has been going on
but a short time, but we learn that al
ready ten lots of 10 tons each have
been closed, and that AT the present
time a lot Is being closed every other
day. AS good judges have given their
opinion that the ore will run 500 TO the
ton, and Is improving, a rough guess
as to what the mine has already pro-
duced Is readily arrived at What will
be done with the capital stock Is also
n conjecture, but You cannot hear Of
any floating about or for sale. Again,
we take pleasure In congratulating the
lucky and plucky owners; they are all
Park City men and wealth could not be
distributed In betters hands for the
good of the community.
The Record stated last week that a
deal was about closed granting an op-
ton or the West Ontario mining
ground. The Herald a few days later
denied In part the statement, but, as
usual the Record was right for an
option signed by all the interests eX-
oept the Kimball estate interest which
Is also promised f the deal proves
successful has been delivered TO Mr..
Cox OF Tennessee representing the
heirs Of the John Parish estate, so, as
stated, he has practically a full and
clear option. Other parties were up
from Salt Lake the first of the week
for the purpose OF securing an option
on the ground, but were unsuccessful
for the reasons above stated. So the
Heralds statement TO the effect that
an interested party who controlled
one-ninth Of the property refused to
Sign the option" Is pure mlsrepresenta-
ton as the party alluded TO had al
ready put his signature to the papers,
and was IN honor bound 10 let his In
terest go " the deal went through
