Show WHAT ABOUT PARK CITY in this day of marvels in mining operations in mine development and equipment in the erection of immense reduction plants and smelters shelters sm elters in the discovery of new eldo rados in the opening of new bonanzas in virgin fields throughout this western western mining country the magnificent records chronicled by old established and immensely pro mining camps are somewhat apt to be overlooked and forgotten this is a weakness in human nature which in all probability will never be fully overcome and often it requires something out of the ordinary to turn public sentiment and thought to a camp that has produced millions in the past which is still heavily productive duc tive and which still gives promise of more than duplicating its past record in the future such a camp one might say is park city which has made utah renowned the world over as a great producer of material materi al and imperishable wealth a camp which today annually produces more in the way of the precious metals than do all the mining camps in several of our sister states and whose dividend payments even will equal the value of the entire mineral output ot of such states the past record of park city is one which anyone interested in mining might well study with profit up to date its mines have produced ore to the value of 80 and six mining companies of the camp have paid out in dividends while in the mines there are miles of underground workings no mining camp in the west is better provided with mining and milling facilities here are some of the largest hosting plants some of the finest reduction works to be found in this intermountain region and nowhere else is mining carried on on a more gigantic scale than here and this so quietly without noise or bluster that the world at large has but a faint idea of the heavy operation and production monthly and yearly maintained by this really matchless camp in the mines of park city the ore bodies are huge in their dimension seemingly exhaustless haust less much of thi this s is high grade shipping ore the rest is good milling and the territory of productive ground is yearly extending until the question arises when will the limit be reached will generations to come ever see the exhaustion of these mines or the day when they will cease to pay dividends not many years ago it was sincerely believed by mining men that the ontario and daly mines within their environments covered all of the mineral bearing e ground of the park that was worth having since then the verdict has been reversed and outside prospects have been developed into mammoth I 1 producers and heavy di divi videna denu payers and at the present time several new prop bertis are about to become enrolled as steady producers and regular payers and to such an extent that this old camp grey haired and wrinkled with age so to speak bids fair to eclipse the glory and fame of new and wonderfully productive camps still in their infancy but concerning which men are going wild with excitement forgetting in their delirium of fever that their permanency is yet to be proven and that in many instances it is difficult to separate the properties of genuine merit from wildcats scattered promiscuously among them park city although it has seen many years of heavy production and a long era of dividend disbursements is not a has been by any means and the indications are that in the matter of its ore output it is as full of promise as in the days when the ontario mine first brought it into worldwide prominence |
