THE PARK VALLEY DISTRICT.

Although little has been heard of the
Park Valley district during the past
year. this part of Boxelder county has
not been quiet and 1t Is fast developing
into one of the gold districts of the
state. The Century Mining and Milling
company was at one time one of tho
dividend payers of the state and be-
fore another year rolls around it will
be back in the ranks again. While this
company has been endeavorlng to solve
the power questions and developing ore
for use In its MILL the Susannah Gold
Mining company has been putting
new mill into shape In the district.
The Susannah Mining company has
one of the best equipped small plants
in the state. It's compactness is one OF
its main features. This was one of the
new mills erected in the state this
year. Already this plant has hegun
shipping gold bullion to the local United
States assay office.
Several other properties in the dis
trict have been pushing development
work throughout the year. The Deer

THE MEN0HA-NE

Another old producer of the Phoebe

WHY THE MENU WAS CHANGED

The culinary department of an East
Indian household, II the story of IN
American traveller who has recently re-
turned from Calcutta is to be believed.
Is managed far different from an Amer
lean kitchen. Here we employ an
Ethiopian expert at so much a week."
says the Philadelphia Record. There
a cook would dsdain to place a weekly
valuation on his services. His condi-
tlonS involve a fiat rate of so many
shillingS weekly for the furnishing and
preparation of provisions This system
of putting the culinary department out
to contract causes penuriousness on
the part of the chef which frequently
is not for the best health and welfare
of the household. Shortly before last
Christmas the above named American
tourist had ordered his cook TO have
steak for dinner Broiled chicken was
served instead. Pressed for his reasons
for disregarding the command of the
head of the household. the cook eN-
plalned that the chicken had taken
sick and If ii had not been killed and
served that day he was afraid he would
have lost It."

that there will be greater activity there
during the coming year and that Mer-

tive camps of the state. For num-
Der of years II has been the heaviest

This company was able to produce

The Boston Sunshine was purchased
at a sheriff's sale a little over a year
ago. The old mill on the property was
remodeled and a cyanlding system sim

L siderable ore was shipped during
the wear. and the Columbus Consolid-
ated sent from 80 to 90 tons OF ore
dny to the market. This property WAS
the most active in the district, Dur
ing the year two new ore bodies were
opened up From one of them most
of the shipping was done while the
latest strike at the mine has not been
worked enough to tell OF Its dlmen-
sions The ore Is being stopped out
as the work advances and Is not
blocked out.
The first ore body was found In the
fall of 1908 1t probably continues to

far only a small amount of the ore
has been extracted.
The company has $50 men employed
at the mine and the mill. and the mill
has been operating two shifts through
out the year One of the Improve
ments this year was the installation
of a 600 gallon centrifugal four stage,
electric pump There are five other
pumps at the property which are used
as a reserve. The mine now handles
400 gallons of water a minute so that
there are sufficient pumps to care Tor
any flow that may be encountered.
During the year the company has
done an enormous amount of develop
ment
At the South Columbus a force of
about 20 men has been employed this
year. Although work is going ahead
there have been no big developments
Other properties in the Alta. Big
Cottonwood, and American Fork dis
tricts have been busy. Mineral Flat
and Pittsburg Consolidated in Ameri-
can Fork have been worked a greater
part of the year. In the same district
were other active companies, such as
tho Pacific, Dutchman, Mary Ellen,

In the Big Cottonwood district were

On the opposite side of the canyon,
