Shear, who has the contract for the erection pf the Anchor hoisting works, has a number of men at work near Kimball's coal ofllco, framing the timbers tim-bers of the building. He expects to have everything iu readiners for the erection of the building inside of thirty days. A number of the Park's prospectors have been attracted by the glowing accounts of the Deep creek districts in Saturday's Salt Lake Times and it looks as though a number of them would leave for that district. "Park City will have ten thousand people before winter," remarked a mining man this week. It seems to be the prevailing impression that the Park's mines and necessarily the town will experience a grand boom this year. There have been a large number of transfers made iu mining stocks in the l'ark of late. A lease and bond has been secured on the Morrison browustona quarry by French Si Co, of Ogden. The quarry is located at the mouth of llaynes canyon, and Is said to be a very valuable one. The lessees will begin prospecting at onco and propose to ascertain the real worth of tho "property by the first of July, at which time the bond expires. C. Hirschman's Ulack Diamond and Nimrod claims will probably bo vigorously vigor-ously worked this year. A vein twenty-two twenty-two inches wide, carrying a fair grade of ore, has been uncovered. From the last issue of the Park City Miner are taken the following ligures, showing the total amount of dividends paid by the mines of the territory, in which it is shown that l'ark City leads by several laps: "Of the total dividends paid by the mines of the territory, those of the Park paid !13,8."i:l,000, or 74 per cent of the whole. The current value of the dividend divi-dend payers of the l'ark is $!,Oho,(!OJ, or 65 per cent of the total current value of all those that pay dividends.
