the 100 foot level a. d went through
the principal work. IS. On this le-
vel there is l,,ge pump which
pumps the we in the mine to the
1900 foot vel. On the 1900 foot
level The later is conveyed through
a tura-l over three and one half
mi!es long and becomes part of an ir-
iigating system TO the south in the
little Provo valley. This great pump
ras the wonderful capacity of pump
ing $500 gallons per minute. There
is considerable water in the mine
and Il would be impossible to operate
IL without these pumps. The pump
ing is done electrically but there Is
a steam pump for emergencies. The
Park City gets its drinking water
from this great mine and il Is per-
haps the only water that will COM
pare with the Logan water as to
purity and temperature.
The party going through the great
Silver King mine did not have so
much water to contend with but they
saw the workings Of one OF the best
equipped and richest silver mines in
the world. The mine is owned by the
late ex-senator Thos.. Kearns, David
Keith and other Utah capitalists.
Most of the stock was owned locally
and the dividends went into the de-
velopment OF the state. Many OF the
fine Office buildings in Salt Lalcs City
were constructed from the profits OF
this wonderful mine. II has over
$50 miles of workings and is heavy
producer at the present time.
II is estimated that s1s5, OOO, 900
have been mined in Park City. This
amount can still be duplicated,
on the return from the mines the
parties visited the concentration
plant where the ores from the Silver
King mine are concentrated and then
sent to the smelters at Murray. Two
systems similar to those at Magda
are used to concentrate the minerals.
In the evening a special dance was
given at the Park. City hall and the
Logan people had the time OF their
lives meeting aud dancing with the
best societl OF Park City. The
springing floor and jazz band were
especially attractive to the dancers,
and some OF the Logan dancers did
not return to the hotel until the
early hours of the next day. II was
announced that the Logan party were
respectable and that formal introduce
tons were not necessary. A. very
jolly time was had.

left for Heber and the Hot Pots. Mr..

Murdoch, Mr.. Brockbank. editor,
some OF the bankers. and other prom
inent citizens and business men were
on hand with their cars to show the
Logan people the wonderful resource
ces OF Heber and the rich wasatch
county. The party was divided again
so some of the Heber boosters could
ride with us to explain and point
out things of interest

celved at Heber and their live Com

very noticeable. They have good
