FAMOUS SILVER KING
STILL A PHENOMENON

L By long way Park City is asknowl-
edged to be the banner camp of the
| state and much-in fact, the ma jor
| pCrtion-of the reputation WAS made
/ through the famous Silve.' King mine,
! which is owned priDcipa lily by Senator
| Thomas Kearns and D1 I'D Keith Like
an ineXhaustible spring il keeps pour
| ing forth its wealth and there is no
| limit, il seems, to the amount of riches
! it contains.
| Despite all accidents and set-backs
| it keeps on the even tenor of its way
producing tons and tons of valua BILE
ore, and what has already been taken
| out although it was enough to pur-
chase few Philippine islands, is ap-
parently only a scratch on the surface
Of the earth. The Silver King seems
to be possessed of a keen sense of hu-
man honor and gives the laugh to those
who sit down with a pencil and "a
per and a wise look and endeavor tc
figure out how long it will be before the
supply of precious metals is exhausted
in this wonderful storehouse Of the
kind which makes the mare 60 and is
dubbed the root of all evil by those
who have been unable to discover the
proper manner in which TO use it.
Keep Right On.
No matter what may befall other
properties, the old Silver King, like an
old reliable, keeps on giving forth its
wonderful supply of metals. and with
the impetus to the silver market by the
demand created by the treasury de-
partment, this famous old mine is now
ranked as one of the most wonderful
of its kind in the world.
1t is sort of repetition of history
with a vengeance for the price of sill
yer to jump into the really worth
while class after being suppressed for
so long a time, and the silver proper
ties In this locality are laughing them
selves sick at the mournful Projectors
of the death-knell of silver properties
which was supposed to have been
sounded several years ago at the time
of the monetary depression which over
came the country.
No Limit to Wealth.
But there is no cessation in the out
put of the Silver King, no matter what
the rest of the country may do with
the price of the metal of which she has
goodly store. The mine Will keep
on opening her peaTfy gates with the
silver lining to the intrepid miners VINO
dig into the depths of her treasure
vaults as long as their enthusiasm and
desire for that sort of thing contln-
ues. There seems to be no let-up to the
amount of ore which this mine can
produce, and all efforts to tap some of
the places dry have proved that there
was an even larger store OF the metal
in the mine than was ever supposed by
the most enthusiastic supporter.
Tunnel Cave.In.
Except for the fact that the extern
sion of the Ontario drain tunnel was in
terfered with by cave-fn last March,
Park City's progress in 1906 would
have been somewhat more satisfactory
to her people and her blessings more
widely realized by all the state.
The management of the tunnel has
been making superhuman efforts
throughout the last eight months TO
clear the tunnel of its blockade and
unwater the lower workings or the
mines which were flooded as conse-
ouence of this cave-in, but this end had
rot been accomplished up to the middle
of December
Serious Matter.
So serious wasl TIE eave-in that it
was found necessary to drive a parallel
