panleS' domains, the three latter beng
directly south of the. DAILY. East of
them, again, are the ValeO, West
| Valeo and other groups of prospective
! DOnanzas. Nearly all Of the companies
operating these properties are today
employing good forces Of men and the
reports which come from them from
time to time are of a most assuring
nature.
Still farther south, in what is now
considered not far from the southern
limits of the monster ore zone out
lined, are situated the properties of the
Montreal, Park City Gold & Silver,
Wolverine, Southern Tier and Lone
Pine companies. All of them, with the
exception of the first named, are sys-
tematicaIly developing. The Wolver--
inc is equipped with a splendid power
plant, and machine drills are gnawing
their way into the ground at rapid
pace, with every promise that bo-
nanZa will be developed before spring
rolls around. The Park City Gold &
Silver company. operating on the east
side of the Wolverine, is sinking
shaft in ore, while the Lone Pine, on
the west and south, got its ore body
about two weeks ago. The Southern
Tier has had ore for years and shaft
is now being sunk to develop the mine
at depth. From all indications this
section of the camp is going to be
heard from in no uncertain way during
the next twelve months
Snake Creek Properties.
Going west from this bunch of prom
Using mines, to the head of Snake
creek and along the divide between it
and Big Cottonwood, the properties of
the Steamboat company, Mountain
Lake, Big Cottonwood Copper & Gold
company and the Great Western Gold
& Copper company are encountered.
The former is running a long, deep
tunnel, with the aid of power drills,
and results are promised when the OBJ
jective point. some distance ahead, is
reached.
The Big Cottonwood Copper & Gold
Mining company was organized during
the fall by Colonel Treweek and east
ern talent. 1t has been equipped with
splendid buildings for the accomnlO-
dation of the force of men employed
in driving a tunnel to tap the wonder
fully strong ledge of copper and gold
| bearing ores which was previously
i opened above, and during the next six
months fiattering news viii be heard
from it North of it is the Great West
ern property where a ledge of copper
ore 140 feet wide is being prOspeeted
by the chief owners of the ground
Senator Rawlins and David Evans.
The foregoing paragraphs give a faint
| idea only of what has been and is be-
ing accomplished along what is termed
the southern tier of the Park City
districts. Every property mentioned
I would be worthy of an extended story
but as Developments along the line are
mentioned as occasion warrants frOFa
day to day, this description is given
more to set the reader right with re-
spect to their geographical location
than for any other purpose.
Northern Side of Zone
Leaving this end Of the camp and re-
turning to Park City, at the northern
/ extremity OF the mineral zone, it will
no doubt interest the reader to- learn
what has been accomplished along the
| side covered by the great Silver King
From near the mouth of the Ontario
company's long drain tunnel OF the
east TO the summit of the ridge which
separates the Uintah from the Big Cot
tOnwoOd district on the west. money
without stint has been expended in the
, purchase and development of new
properties during the year while the
corporations previously formed have
been just as active and energetic in
their efforts.
One Of the latest and most important
J companies to begin business in the
camp is the American Flag. 1t was
launched few months ago by Captain
( 7. T. Singiser and John Rhodin and
be it said to the credit of both. they
, ! first acquired the ground and then
made their mine before forming the
! company. The latter began the round
ing up of the ground over three years
: ago. He went as far as he could sin
gle handed and then got Captain Sing
User TO join him. Together they worked
tremendously for year and half and
when the corporation was formed last
/ fall, the lodges in the property had been

which stretches away from a few hun
dred feet of the Silver King company's
shaft to point back of the Ontario
mill on the east. The mine has been
equipped with a splendid and powerful
hosting plant and a great working
shaft is now being dropped down to
facilitate the mining of the ores devel-
oped in the old tunnel and incline work
! ings. From two to eight feet Of Gre.
much of it running high in gold and
silver, have been disclosed in these
workings and the future of the prcposi-
ton is already assured As an evidence
that well posted men in the camp real
ize the value of the American Flag
property. it need only be stated that
Superintendent Kirby of the great
Daly-West only a few weeks ago or
ganized company to develop virgin
ground on the east and northeast of
the company's territory.
From the American Flag east sew
7 eral companies are opening UP most
promising properties, the latest to be
heard from being the St Louis Onta-
rio, in which the vein has been tapped
from the shaft workings, with the prom
Use of developing a shipper during the
next twelve months.
West of Park City.
, Directly west of Park City a new
combination recently acquired the old
Creole property. The new company is
/ headed by John Dern. president of the
famous Consolidated Mercur Gold
Mines company, and substantial hoist
| ing works and modern machinery have
just been installed at the mine. Good
; shipping ore has been developed and
as depth is attained there is every rea-
son to believe that great bodies Of it
will be encountered.
West OF the Creole the Minola COM
pany has been steadily developing its
ground throughout the year and il is
now down with its shaft from the tun-
