Park City Mines Maintain Record of Great Production

the mine turning out well are now con-

! The Naildriver.-The force al this
property. which adjoins the Wabash

more than the cost of operation while
searching for the main chute.
At the West Quincy.
| West Quincy territory adjoins the
original Quincy bonanza, and the Lit
Tie Bel on the west and southwest. It
mas been opened by shaft WORKINGS TO
a depth of 600 feet, and, just previous

! Bell whereby he secured the privilege
| of extending the 7O0-fOOt level of the
/ Little Bell to connection with the
/ West Quincy shaft BY this arrange
ment the West Quincy Will open its
/ mine 200 feet deeper and avoid the

consolidation of the Little Bell and

the Little Bell was made, and that
Manager Turner knows precisely what
he is about there is no question. These
properties are most eHgibIy located. and

American Flag a Bonanza.
No mining enterprise was ever
launched III the Park that was carried
forward with greater integrity OF pUr-
rose or with more substantial results,
time, means and opportunity consid-
cred. than has been that Of the Ameri-
can Flag Mining company. In less than
three years a great empire OF ground
has been acquired. patented (such of II
as was not already patented), splendid
~ equipped ard opened to a depth of
practically 1,200 feet. Ore has been
shown TO De continuous practically
from the grass roots down. and. for
many months past. without attempting
anything more than straight develop
ment. the mine has been made to more
than pay its way
been demonstrated to Ii below the 100
foot level. and it has been the policy
during the past year 10 subordinate
everything to the requirement of great
er depth and the opening of levels for
active mining. Great stretches of fine
ore have been driven through on the
1.e00-foot level and the programme is
now being repeated on the LOO. While,
as occasion permits, the shaft is being
made to gain still greater depth.
Before this mines career as a pro-
Queer and dividend-payer is formally
opened. it is the intention of the man
agement to replace the present hoist
with one that is capable of operating
TO a depth of g. 600 feet. with both COM
partments OF the double compartment
and manway shaft in complete and
constant use. According to programme
these changes Will occur during the
next few months. Then watch the
American Flag.
Kearns-Keith Company.
Contiguous to the west end of the
Silver King COmpany'S domain is the
property Of the Kearns- Keith company
With many of the same interests that
comprise the control Of the Silver King
at the helm III the latter corporation. it
is not surprising that the same policies
are pursued. A splendid block of
ground is owned by the company and
slogan from the moment that opera
tons began. During the year the mills
capacity has been increased from 100
TO 150 tons per day, but the mine has
not yet been sufficiently connected up
through the various workings to war
rant the running of the mill more than
ten hours a day. It is understood that
some great bodies Of ore have been
opened up during the year just closed. (
and when everything is in readiness
mining on a large scale viii be inaug-
urated.
Adjoining this property is that of the /
Belmont, keystone, Comstock and other I
most promising ground. and lively do |
lngs are expected i'm that section of the |
camp during the next twelve months.
Neither the keystone nor Belmont are /
uotng anything, but the latter, at any |
rate, viii cut loose when spring comes. |
