Park CITY again comes forward at the
close of the year 1908 with an enviable
record and as in years gone by points
with pride 10 the rich dividend-paying
propcrties which are from the records
made by them the past year, Just in their
prime. Park city has been famous for
It's continuous production OF silver and
lead ores. and must now be recognized as
one Of the greatest mining camps in the
country. And here the word camp should
really not be used for il has been often
remarked how much unlike a mining town

During the past year two additional
properties have been taken over by the
Coalition company and il Is safe 10 say
that a good percentage Of the ore being
taken out these days comes from these
newly acquired possessions, the Roaring
Lion and the Jupiter. The mines now
owned by the Silver King Coalition com
pany, are the properties formerly known
as the possessions of the Silver King Min
ing company Union Mining company,
Park City Mining company, Fairview Min
Ing company. Alliance Mining company.

Thomas kearns group. Henry Newell
group and the Addenda group. a total of
approximately 2115 acres. with total
length on the strike of the ore-bearing
contact and assures of 1900 feet. The
actual and probable ore at present avail
able is estimated at 99039 tons OF a gross
value of $3.50 7SO.99 or a net value of So
67l. 64S.S9.
While the work done during the greater
part of the past year has been mostly
prospecting work, still enough of ore has
been taken out to more than pay the or
binary running expenses and post one
dividend In the fall, while on the first day
OF January a double dividend of $4,000

ers- When 1t is taken into consideration
that only about one-fourth of the usual
force of men has been employed at the
Coalition properties the past year. this is
certainly q remarkable record and speaks
well for the manner in which the work
is managed by Superintendent NJ. J. DAILY.
Silver King Consolidated.
Work is going steadily on at the Silver
King Consolidated property, and while but
little has been said of late concerning de-
velopments. there is lively work going on
all the time. The company is suing its
powerful neighbor for an accounting for
ores taken from ground Jointly owned.
while ar action at law alleging trespass
on the part of the big company has been
dismissed without prejudice pending the
DAY that the Consolidated can reach the |
ground In which trespass was alleged, |
through It's own workings. Millions are
involved IN these suits.
DaIy-West, Daily and Ontario.
The DAILY West. Daily and Ontario com |
panies have had much TO contend with |
during the past year In the way Of close
downs, wet ground, cave-ins, etc. and vet
with all this much work has been accom- |
plished In the way of taking out and pros
pecting the ore bodies.
On the first day of January, 1908 these
companies. like many others throughout
the country, were obliged 10 close down
their workings, owing to the low prices
paid for metals and for more than six
months nothing more than prospecting
work was done and only handful of men
were employed at this work Even at the
present time less than One-half the force
formerly employed by them are now at
work Then the drain tunnel cavern. |
which was in way hindrance to all of
the mines in camp and particularly to the
DAILY West company. had 10 be taken care
of. and after more than three years the
large passageway was thrown open again
ana the pent up water which had been
held back for so long was turned loose and
the real reclamation of the mines was be-
gun.
nc LAZY west has taken OUT an aDun-
dance OF ore in the past five months and
q nalf, and much credit is due General
Manager Ernest Bamberger and Superin-
tendent F. L. Talbot for the manner in
which they have conducted this work
The DAILY West mill has also done things
IN the way of separating the values in the
ores taken from this great lead and silver
mine. and today the plant is considered
.one OF the most complete and up-to-date
equipped mines in the western country

Daiy-Judge Is Prosperous.
The Daly-Judge Mining company. like
me other mines In this camp has been
compelled TO work its holdings with
greatly reduced force of men, but as
q matter Of fact. the mine was never
looking better and its great wealth is
far from being a thing of the past as
was reported to be the case several
