the mine is now shipping regularly the
ore that is taken out In prospecting and
preparing of the ground for stopping OPP
erations. These shipments are netting
the company between 81, 800 and $1,000
a day. Through a assure developed
on the 300-foOt level this same con-
tact is being reached out for and each
days work makes it all the more GER
tain that conditions prevailing on the
700 will be duplicated if they are not
surpassed on the 800.
West QuIncy's Promise.
During the present month the West
Quincy company, which has been una
BILE TO secure a further privilege TO
prospect its territory from the work.
ings OF some Of its near neighbors who
are developed to much greater depth,
has introduced the Davis-Calix core
drilling machine into fits mine. 1t has
been installed on the 400-foot level, and
its operation has since been prosecuted
with the result that at the end Of every
day the management is in possession
of the evidence which shows what each
additional twenty-five feet of depth
contains. A two-fold advantage is TO
be gained from this work. 1t is certain
that, when the quartzite is reached, the
mine will drain itself, while the char
acter OF the formation will be positive
ly known, even though the drill should
not penetrate an ore body. The West
Quincy has for neighbors the Little
Bell, the Daly-West and the DAILY
Judge and, as each of them is doing
successful mining right at its gates,
it is considered simply a matter of de-
velopment TO make mine of more
than ordinary merit.
Other Promising Properties.
East and southerly from the proper
ties mentioned in the foregoing para
graphs are the Wabash, New York.
Naildriver, Columbus and others of
greater or less merit. The New York is
again producing fine ore. and the man
agement has reached the conclusion
that it will now be possible TO make
the proposition pay its way, while the
opportunity is ever present of the ore
shoots developing in manner TO make
the property reimburse the sharehoId-
ers with interest for every chance they
have taken in its development.
The Naildriver adjoins the New York
on the east, and. as the ores now be-
ing driven through in the latter trend
in the direction of the Naildriver. the
management of the latter is seriously
considering the question OF resumption
The Wabash company is doing a
great work in the development OF the
country which its properties cover, and,
while no brass band display is being
made, there is reason to believe that
another month will bring the best kind
of news from the property The Wa
bash is one of the mines OF the camp

So we took train for Park City one
day last week early in the morning. In
the short history of Utah there has
been much of romance, much of hard
work. Many are the stories of sue
cess wrung from the plains by irriga-
toin, from the hills by persevering
courage. by the faith that literally
moves mountains. Every mining camp
has it's story, and the story of each is
different. But around Park City, some
how, there seems to be more of the ro-
mance, more Of the calm, cool courage,
moro OF tho persistence under the gray
est difficulties than anywhere else.
The Park City of today is not, prop
erly speaking, a mining camp. 1t is a
mining town, for 1t has an air of per-
manency, OF stability one rarely sees
in cities that owe their existence to the
existence of precious metals in the hills
about them. The stores are spacious,
their stocks are large, the buildings
ARE solidly constructed of brick and
stcne and steel. People have "a settled
AIR, an air Of residence. They seem to
say, 'This is where l live. / am not
here for a day or a year. l am a cit
dzen."
Thirty-six years ago Ephraim Hanks
was a farmer in the neighborhOOd of
lCoalville. The Npring, with the work
Iof putting In the crops again, had come
and Eph did not look forward TO II
with pleasure He was tired of farm
ing, tired of the routine Of planting
and watering and cultivating and har-
vesting It appeared to Eph that he
could never see anything of the big
world outside II he stayed on the farm.
So, on a spring day in 1870, he left the
pillow in the furrow and set his face to-
ward the hills.
"Green Monster" First Claim.
1t is easy to imagine that it was a
bright morning, that the birds were
singing and that, up where the water
was running from the softening snow,
the first flowers were beginning to ap-
pear. Eph Hanks. farmer was a farm
er no longer. He was prOspector He
walked over into what is now the Park
city mining district and Clipped a few
chunks of rock off of an outcropping.
The stuff showed high values in silver
and lead and Eph Hanks orzanized a
company. The claim was called the
Green Monster. That sounds like an
absinthe dream. though there is moth
ing in the record TO show that Hanks
had so much as heard of the beverage.
What became of Hanks is still mys-
terry in Park City. He disappeared one
dav with an accumulation of cash and,
according to the old-timers, has never
been heard of since. Did he have a
good time with his money? Did he
mt n to some good use? Was he
robbed or murdered. or both? Nobody
knows. At any rate Eph Hanks was
the father of Park City. The success
of the Green Monster was noised
abroad and location followed location IN
rapid order. The McHenry, IN McHehry
canyon, was the second III the RarK
district Next in order came the Wal
Yer and Webster and the Pinyon.
The mine that made Park CITY Ia

Mr.. McCaskel, is another young man
and thoroughly competent one. AS is
the case at Bingham, the youngsters
of the DAILY West and the other mines
around Park City are proving their ca
pacity for the big things they have on
their hands.
Mines In Every Direction.
But a list of the mines of Park City,
the mines that have earned wealth for
their discoveries and their stockhold-
ers. would be we'll night interminable
Some of the babies" comparatively
speaking, of the camp, are the DAILY
Judge, the Little Bell, Kearns-Keith,
O6ln, Quincy and a score of others. To-
day 1t would be difficult to walk mile
in any direction around Park City with
out finding a producing mine or an ex-
cellent prospect. The camp has pro-
duced millions but the old-timers say
IL is sure to produce millions more.
They have an abundant and an abiding
faith in the future.
For years many of them have been
battling with nature, fighting, fighting,
fighting to recover from the innermost
parts of the hills the treasures that for
ages have lain buried there. They have
fought snOWslides in the spring, fierce
heat in the summer, bitter cold in the
long, long winters. With their picks
and their drills they have ventured ever
deeper into the mountains. Some have
lost their battles, as some must always
lose in the game of life. Others have
won, and they have deserved to win.
To turn again from the hills to the
camp, or rather to the town. Park
City is as quiet and as orderly town
today as could be found in a Journey
of any length. 1t is essentially an
American camp in the sense that the
citizenship is composed. In the main, of
American citizens. If census based
on nativity were taken it would doubt
less be found that eight out of ten cit
liens of Park City were born in the
United States. There are men en-
ployed in the various mines who have
lived In the vicinity for years, who
have built homes and raised families
there. They are to all intents and pur-
poses as permanently settled as are the
LeCple of a manufacturing city.
Park Clty's Bad Days.
Park City was not always thus. 1t
passed, naturally enough. through days
of turbulence, through days when the
man who was quickest to draw was the
man who lived longest, when ii was
considered humorous TO shoot up the
town or make the simple tenderfoOt do
Jig to the music of revolver firing. AT
one time in the early days Park City
had a record of thirty-two men killed
without single arrest. Not all of them
were killed in fair fight, either. AS the
camp grew, though, the desire for law
and order grew with it. One day pc
culiarly atrocious murder was commit
ted A man by the name of Murphy
deliberately murdered his partner. one
Brennan, in order TO secure Brennan's
interest in claim the two owned
Jointly.
Murphy was arrested and the law and
order citizens-it seems strange to call
them law and order men now-deter-
mined to make an example OF him.
Murphy was taken for safe keeping to

The net earnings of tho mines of
Park City today approximate s250,000
per month, this on a production of ap
proximately $500 tons of crude ore and
concentrates per month. The camp is
counted as quiet and, in the sense that
its population is OF the orderly and
reputable kind this is undoubtedly
true: that the designation has anything
at all to do with the condition of or
activity at its mines and prospects, is
altogether untrue. More miners would
be at work there If more were obtain
able and production would be much
larger than 1t is were It not for the fact
that several properties are still handi-
capped because the Ontario and DAILY
mines are not yet completely drained.
Ninety days, at the most. is reckoned
as the limit for the complete reclama-
ton of the drain tunnel and in that
length of time there will be revival,
according to the present outlook, such
as the district has not witnessed in
many years.
During the past few months some
new mines have been brought In; dur
ing the next few months others will be
added to the list and some of the older
properties will be in better shape than
ever to make a showing. A glance
over the district and a peep into the
mines is sufficient to convince the most
skeptical of the truth Of the above as
sertion.
Work Stopped by Waters.
Since the flooding of the Ontario and
DAILY mines through the caving of a
portion OF the three-mile Ontario drain
tunnel, at least two others, the DAILY
West and American Flag, have been
working under a handicap which, TO
say the least, has been discoura ging
AT the latter the management has not
felt justified in going deeper, nor has
1t felt like prospecting new ground in
the direction of the Ontario and DAILY
mines for fear that in doing so chan
nels that connect with the lat
ter might be tapped and the American
Flag also be flooded. AS it is the lev
els above the LOO are the only ones
being developed and from these a good
tonnage of first-class ore is finding its
was to market, while thousands of tons
of a fine grade of milling ore is being
piled upon the dumps.
The Daly-West is not lacking for ore
reserves upon which to draw in order
to meet it's dividend payments. AS
matter of fact, the 1,550-foot level alone
contains such large bodies of mill
ing and first-class ores that it would be
unnecessary to call upon any other
portion of the wonderful mine for years
to come. However, the company's
management is chatting under the de-
lay it is experiencing in going deeper
as a result of the Ontario drain tunnel
trouble, and no property operating in
the Park will hail with greater delight
the day when the Ontario and DAILY are
drained and ii is possible TO extend the
drain tunnel level into Daly-West ter
ritory and thus permit the sinking of
the latter company's operating shaft
to still greater depths
From its upper levels the Ontario
mine is now producing considerable ore
and there is no danger of further as
sessments being levied to keep up the
work of draining the deeper levels.

The Kind Of Nerves That Can DO Things.

easily, are hard and enduring as iron.
Heavy athletics no longer give me pain

il might be very important that a man be

found l said he should be fined ten days.
"Mr. Mack also said that you raised bis
fines when in some cases you didn't even
see the evidence, and that on that account

Il ordered him to resign said the Com
missioner, shortly.
-Why?" he was asked.
Because his work was unsatisfactory
WAS your attention called to any dere-
lio sSo. q duty by Mr. Mack by the Mayor
The sentence was then read to the Com
missioner, in Mr.. Mack's statement, in which
he said;
MoClellans from hell to here"
Nothing occurred to warrant tha state
ment," said Gen. Bingham. He was not
asked to resign by the Mayor. Mr.. Mack
knew I had his resignation in mind"
"Mr. Mack also said to reporters that he
do certain things he couldn't we'll do"
"Rats!" said the commissioner
"He also said you once said you didn't
care how severe you were, as you intended
after you retired to live in Germany"
That's not true, and further he pleaded
sioner.
The Commissioner was then asked II he
would not consent to tell the entire facts
in connection with Mr.; Mack's resignation;
"Td like to. he replied, "but l can't.
will add this. Mr.. Mack seemed to be in
terested in his work and diligent. There
was no great. particular fall down any
where. My dissatisfaction with his work
was cumulative, and as | am responsible il
was necessary TO do as did"

Nothing. doing yet replied the Com
missioner, laughing.
1t il known that the Commissioner was
dissatisfied with Mr.. Mack because he
oonsidere ed him too lenient in the trial room
and lacking nerve in imposing fines.
When the Commissioner abolished the
shoofiy roundsmen he had it in mind to
make It 80 hard on men brought to trial
that the men would take no chances on
being caught in neglect Of duty. Deputy
Mack from the first day of his taking Office
gained the reputation of being an easy

AGAINST HOOKER TRIAL.
spea ker Wadsw orth Defines His Position
on the Subject.

ALBANY, March 5.-Speaker Wadsworth
to-day outlined his position on the motion
that will be made next Wednesday to dis
charge the Assembly Judi ciary Committee
from further consideration of the rcsolu-
ton to try Justice Warren b. Hooker again.
He said.
"The question that is paramount in my
own mind ia the question OF precedent.
Members OF the Judiciary Committee, nota-
bly, Moreland, Cox and Sohoneck, have
searched over the whole range Of precedent
and they can find no basis for II. Now sup
pose we go ahead this year and reopen the
case. Their it can be reopened every year il the
result is not satisfactory, and the outcome
would be a legislative and judicial tan
gle, practically inextricable. Moreover, it
would then degenerate into a mere question
of politics. In the case Of q Republican
Judge, a Democrat, following the example
of T~ompkins. might from year to year
insist on ~reopening the case, while in the
case of a Democratic Judge the reverse
might be the case. In other words, you
would inevitably open the door to a po-
litical persecution which would in thu
end be without anything but political
character.
SMy position is not taken with any SYM
patty for Justice Hooker, but solely because
Of the overshadowing question Of precedent
which we should make by reopening the
case this year. Take the case of the i'm
parchment proceedings against President
Andrew johnson, There were needed
thirty-six votes to impeaoh and tbirty-five
were secured-all but one, and yet he was
credited in the records Of the United States
with an acquittal. In the Hooker case we
had seventy-six votes for removal, when
we needed 100. Now it may be argued that
we had a majority, but the Senate prece-
dent shows a much larger majority. In
short, there is no precedent anywhere.
It'is not the question Of the fate Of legisia-
ton at this session which might be i'm
perilled by injecting this case into. the
one question Of precedent
