Show TIJEANCIIORAWONDER Park City Has Added Another Bonanza to Its Already Long List, PERSEVERANCE WELL EE WARDED. A Great Channel of Silver aid Lead Tra-Terso8 Tra-Terso8 the Mountain to an Unknown Un-known Distance. Through the kindness of Mr. David Keith, a newspaper representative was iakeu through the Anchor property last Saturday, ami given au opportunity op-portunity to see what it contaiucd. Work is being prosecuted in tho east and west drifts from the tunnel levels, and in the tip-raise, which is intended to tap the bottom bot-tom of the well hole, guuk from tho tention to getting the ground in good shape for active sloping in the spring, when the output can be handled to better bet-ter advantage and a better market for tho product will undoubtedly exist. Tho gunllemen have a good lease on a valuable valu-able piece of ground, aud it is to be hoped that tliey will be able to realize largo dividends. Record. i Mammoth Dividend, The Mammoth Mining company declared de-clared todny their regular monthly dividend of $10,000, payable March 20th, which is 10 cents per share on capital stock. Mining Itravitle. George R. Wilt of Bingham is on tho sick list at the St Kliuo hotel. Mr. Kd Hock returned yesterday from a visit to tho mines of F.urekaandi Silver City. Anchor, Glencoe and Crescent stocks are getting in strong demand by l'ark City people. The Creole, at Park, is shipping ore that will run 2:1 attune in silver aud 4U per cent lead. J l lliggius, eilitor 01 ine r.ureita Chief, was a visitor at the mining exchange ex-change today. With the resumption of work on the Massachusetts, another largo demand will be made for miners. The new strike made in tho Auchor, Is 1000 feet southeast of the breast, of the angle of tho cross cut with the main tunnel. So headway was made on the great Ontario draiu tunnel last week as it was necessary to mako somo repairs on the ditch. Miners from Park City are feeling particularly well pleased over the wonderful won-derful discoveries made iu tho past week in tho Glencoe and Anchor. M. R. Kvans has some splendidly located lo-cated property adjoining the Auchor, which he considers as among the best undeveloped territory in the Park. The Horn Silver management desire to employ fifty additional miners, aud all Competent men applying for work aro given a job forthwith. L'tonian. A report which comes bv way of Denver Den-ver says that tho entire Medicine Bow range is becoming one vast reservoir of gold. Somo very rich ore has been brought in from the head of Lake creek, Wyoming. The ore shipments from l'ark City during the past week were: flntario, 312 tons; Daly, !W tonB. and Anchor concentrates, 123 tons. Tho Ontario shipped 10 bars nf bullion containing 110.173 ounces of silver. The Crescent is probably a better mine today than ever before, and the presont gives every hope, of improvement improve-ment fore the future. There is said to be a vein of galena exposed that is 10 feet wido and 1500 feet long. There has been a great depression in the ore market fcr the past six months, and yet notwithstdnding it, the work of tho Colorado smelters shows an increase in-crease in production over a corresponding correspond-ing period last year of $1, (1111,000. The Miner says the Daly mine is looking look-ing bettor than ever before. All tho prospecting has encountered ore and tho vein grows better both in quality and quantity as work progresses. Tho shaft has raclied a depth of 130 feet. The owners of the Morgan group are almost as well pleased over tho developments develop-ments made in the Anchor as they would be if it were in their own property. prop-erty. They are now considering the proposition of purchasing a hoister and sinking their shaft. The Julian Lane at Silver City is doing do-ing very well for the short length of time since it has been started up. The production now amounts to 100 tons of argentiferous iron a month for which the smelters pay all it contains in gold and silver, as it runs 30 per cent excess of iron over silver. bottom of the shaft. This upraise has reached a distance of 250 feet, w hich leaves only a short dist.iuc.o yet to be , run not moro than forty feet. The last incline is being sunk, and has reached a depth of lifty feet. It descends at an angle of about thirty-live degrees, and will be continued contin-ued until it is about 200 feet deep. Hoisting hereafter, iu this incline, will be done by means of the eugine which was put in last week. From the bottom bot-tom of this incline a drift will be run southwest, and as soon as completed all stopiug will be done from it. This will be. a great saving, as the present plan requires the handling of the ore a number of times before it can reach the tunnel level. By means of the new engine, en-gine, cars can bo low ered aud hoisted in the incline, and can then be run into tho drill and tilled from the chutes. This vein is being sloped in the levels below tho west drift, aud a small donkey engine is being used to hoist it to tho tunnel level. The vein as found in the cast and west drifts, is something immense, and only a look t it is necessary to establish one's confidence confi-dence in the property, and to convince him that the Anchor is a great mine. It is from eighteen to seventy feet in width, dips to the northwest and runs northeast and southv, ecit. The miners work altogether in ore, and no waste is t.-.ken out except when drifling. Large chain hers have been cut out, and everywhere every-where that work has been done, only larger bodies have been exposed to view. Stull timbers are used on tho vein, instead of squaro gets, on account of its great width. At present only low grade ore is being taken out, as tho management do not caro to extract the high gr ide, which is in sight at lower depth, for the reason that in order to keep the concentrator supplied for Bight and day runs, it is necessary to take out to tho capacity of men and appliances, ap-pliances, second class ore. It has been claimed that the Anchor vein is a continuation of the Daly, and ft party who is, without a doubt, the best authority in the Park on mining questions, stated to the writer that be was positive that they wero one and the same. . When it is .remembered that the Anchor company owns on the presumed course of 'Jiis vein, l'J,ii;i8 feet, w hich is feet more than tho total length of f-, the Daly, Daly West and Ontario ground, there can surely be no doubt in the mind of any one that the Anchor Is one of the greatest mines in the west; that it has a grand future before it. and that at no distant date it will be second to none as a producer and dividend payer. Miner. Minifiir Utfliang , The exchange opened this morning with a good deal of spirit. Many spectators spec-tators had been attracted by the promise prom-ise of a lively session, and they were not w holly disappointed, although the hales were mainly confined to four Flocks. Anchor was in demand, owing f to good reports which have been pub lished the (last two days, but only 100 fchares were sold; the price realized, however, was 10 cents higher than last quotations, which shows public faith in the merits of recent discoveries. touav's cjrorATioni.

In answer to the question of tho condition of tho mine, ho informed his interogator that work was confined to development and that no ellorl was being made to extract ore, as it could not be chipped at this time of the year anyhow.
