is a prospect in which the most perse-
vering nerve has been shown for years.
The stockholders have unbounded con-
fidenee in their property The cost OF
working is great, but the development
work is being prosecuted with all the
vigor that money and all modern appii-
ance can do, and there is no one in Utah
but would rejoice if the tenacity of the
owners Of the mine would be rewarded
in the immediate future with a mine or
liInitleSs resources. The American Flag
is among the shipping properties Of
town, bat a policy of secrecy is being
adhered to so that information from the
inside is almost impossible 10 secure.
However, they are working along and a
good amount of ore IS being marketed,
and that is a sign which BODIES good.
Situation at Ontario.
The old Ontario is the mother Of them
all in Park City. She has been up
against a series Of misfOrtunes which

known that the mine is in a position to
reappear in the market with immense
shipments if it can get lis tunnel open.
In the Lowell levels, which have On:y
recently been opened are great
bodies OF milling ores. and with the
improved methods Of concentra ton
there can be but one result, dividends.
At the tunnel the work of opening the
cave has been progressing as well -

tanned by the most cautious and ex-
pensive labOrs are encouraging. Tho

If all goes well in another half year the
old drain should be opened and in as
good shape as ever, and with littls
repair work the old mine will begin the
opening of stations below the tunnel
level, and an era of the real. old-tims
prosperity Will reign at the Ontario.
Hope of Treasure Hill.
Treasure Hill is the name of the
property which. it is thought. will re-
produce the WOodside history. The
mine is located in the same canyon and
in almost the same district Work
which has been done has resulted in
the uncoVering of a fine lot of ore and
a more perfect vein, it is said, does not
exist in Park City. Litigation mas

adjustment is promised. and with this
the mine will be heard from.

is doing anything, but 1t is doing things
in such punches that no attention is
paid to other properties there. TIE Mel

over two years and is thoroughly
equipped to mine. 1t has ore, and plen-
ty of it. Of course it is Iow-grade, but
tests made Of it indicate that it can be
worked at profit by Shipping through

put the Queen among the regular ship

are that the efforts of those prosecut-

spending values in silver and lead.
While the property is still in the nature
of a prospect, there are sufficient in
dications to warrant good and sys-
tematic development work, and some
thing may happen in that part Of the
district which will make stir.
Taken on the whole in the wave OF
adverse conditions, Park City IS pros
porous and the promise of a better fU-
ture is given. The shipments are good,
and more development work is going on
than ever before. The camp is really
in it's infancy, for though there have
been and are still fine mines now here.
the greater portion of the district has
been unprospected, and a few years will
certainly see Park City greater. a big

place than it is now. or ever has been.
