IN PARK CITY CAMP.
Jlgs Are SIN Working on woodslde ore
AT the Ontario.

Assistant superintendent McCaskoll
| and Surveyor Wilson Of the DAILY West.
were In the Elkhorn district the early
part Of the week. says the Park city
Record, inspecting the various pros
poets IN that region with a view of be-
coming interested In one or more of the
most promising Of them. The gentle
men were very highly pleased with
what they saw and state that the
| Brown Eagle and Majestic prospects
look better and richer, and show more
favorable Indications for the amount Of
work done than any they have ever
seen In the state. A dozen or more
samples We're taken from the locality
and interesting developments will
doubtless result from their visit.
James McGregor the veteran mining
promoter has been in camp all week on
business connected with the beginning
Of operations at the Plnyon Ridge.
T, NJ. Sringer has two jigs at work
on the second class ore dump at the
Woodslde. The ore has been accumlu-
lating for five or six months past and
a little Is being taken out right along
as the development Of the mine pro-
crosses.
Willard Blrklmshaw and Billy
Kearns left Thursday morning for
lHNll klbuh VI NlbllllA at tue Htdu OF
Biz Cottonwood where they viii do
the assessment work as the Silver Spay
group and are In a very promising To-
cality.
A little first class, high grade ore Is
being holsted at the Naildriyer every
day and D tonnage large enough for
shipment will soon have accumulated.
This ore body has been I'm sight for
two weeks and is being worked as the
development of the mine progresses.
Il, b. sullivan manager Of the Union
lirecting company Salt Lake, this
week completed the installation OF the
| two l5O-horse power WIcka tubular
| boilers at the King Consolidated, and
also put up smoke stack four feet IN
| diameter and 100 feet tall so that every
| thing Is now in readiness for the active
| development of the mine.
The crusher at the Kearns- Keith
mill has been repaired and put IN
! shape, and the mill is now running
! fun blast again. At the mine the work
, OF improvement IS being carried stead
! lily ahead. The compressor recently
| moved over from the Valeo Is being
| placed and the new boilers az ex-
| pected soon, With power drills at
work and the locomotive engine haul
ing the product from the mine, the out
| put OF this property VIII be material
| ly increased
A force of 80 men Is at work under
| the direction Of II. II. stevenson at
| the Daly-West making ready for the
| new ore house which Is 10 replace the
one which recently collapsed A solid
stone and concrete foundation Is being
put IN, much stronger than the old one.
SO that a repetition Of the late aCcl-
| dent Will be practically impossible The
new SQ-fOot gallows frame to be In
| stalled at the mine Is under construc-
tor, though Just when II Will be placed
Is hard to say.
At the Ontario the activity that has
| characterized the work there since the
big fire, continues The gallows frame
Is practically In place, and the engine
at the old Daily has been taken down
and is ready TO be hauled TO the new
! plant The timbers In the shaft in
| iured by the flames have been replaced
and In 60 days the mine will un-
| doubtedly be working again as OF old,
| About 80 men are employed and a
little ore is being taken out right along
the 500 level
superintendent Hickey has his work
| ing force at the COmstock still drlV-
ing the winze on the ore body from
the $50 level ana viii continue opera
lions there until the water I'm the shaft
goes down, The ore is holding out
| splendidly and quite tonnage is ba.
Ing piled M. and viii he run through
/ the mill when the proper tome comes.
Mr. Hickey NfornIl the Record re-
| porter yesterday that no definite ar
rangements had been made toward put
ting the mill In operation, and that he
COULD not say just when this woild be
done, The same he said, Is looking
! splendid
