but a little way off at present and every
operator in the camp is snxiously waiting
for the event.
Among the other things which have con-
tributed but little toward the progress
| of the camp during the past few months
has been the disturbances among the la
Dor unions. The strikes authorized at the
| Daly-West, the DAILY and the Ontario are
now admitted to have been ill advised
and productive of no good TO anyone,
the miners included.
The transfer of the DAILY and Ontario
mines to the Bambergers was followed
| Immediately by an increase in the staff
of engineers employed by the Bamber-
gers. Farley l. Williams, jr., who had
previously served the Utah Consolidated
in the capacity of superintendent, was
made general superintendent of the BAN
berger properties, with jurisdiction COW
| ering the mines at Park City and else
where.
DaIy-West Productive.
The DAILY West mine is next above the
workings of the old DAILY and in pro-
ductiveness in the past has exceeded
nearly every property in the camp. In

en- many times over, as for some time
past most of the development work on the
property has been in virgin territory and
the results have been so uniformly excel
lent that everyone connected with the
property has the most sanguine expecta-
tons and hopes for the future of the
property. The strike of the Little Bell
made early in 1905 but not really proven
|
in 1906, has been one of the greatest
boosts the Daly-West ever experienced.
The men back of the Daly-West hold a
big block of the Little Bell stock and
as soon as the strike in the Bell was
announced and confirmed the Daly-West
people bent every energy to developing
the property Immediately adjacent to the
Little Bell claims. On the 900-foot level
a drift was cut that connects with the
Bell property, and the ore encountered
| in running was sufficient to meet the ex-

west, and the vast amount of low grade
ore that has been taken from the proper

One of the biggest resources of the
company last year was the ten to twelve

and in fact, has been so for some time
aud in spite OF the slump experienced

months. the management has kept the

found TO be considerably lower than the
cost last year.
The coming year should be the great

few months have hindered progress have
now been removed. or nearly so.
