The citizens of Park became imbued with the importance of the project at once, and were willing to lend their encouragement and the potent po-tent inlluonot! of their money in order to make it successful.

The very best men of the camp have taken hold of it, and are headed by the Hon. E. P. Ferry, who has become an enthusiastic champion of the scheme 1 The Northern Spy company lias do-cided do-cided to build a mill to treat their low grade ores of which they have an almost al-most unlimited quantity. Just what process the company will decide to adopt is as yet unsettled, but it will probably bo the Kussel or some other system where the value is extracted by leaching, as the ore seems to bo especially espe-cially adapted to that kind of treatment. treat-ment. While the project is one that and is determined if it fails of a successful success-ful consummation it will not be through the fault of tho people at I'ark City. The mines were visited ami old friendships renewed. Jtwas a marvel to a man who had been mining with Wie" primitive methods in vogue in mauy places to see some of the wonderful advances ad-vances made in 011111110- selenee hv tha minus in l'ark. The splendid machinery gigantic bolsters and herculean pumps were calculated to stagger the reason of a man from parts where such thiugs are decidedly exceptional. The Hussell process, which is being used in the Alarsao mill and which is treating tlio Daly ore with such uniiial-ilied uniiial-ilied success, is one of the most important import-ant discoveries that bad been made in years for the separation of gold and silver. Ilo predicted that it was the eomiug process and that in a lew years it would supercede all other methods for the company have had under consideration consider-ation for a long time, it is said now, that the thing is finally determined on and that the mill bn built the coming summer. The location has not been selected, although the company ia said to have control of two or three sites in addition to the one on which the old Northern Spy mill is situated at llomansvillc, w hre" the production pro-duction of the mine was treated some years ago by a process of chloritia-tion. the treatment of dry silver ores. A Kussoll process mill is now being built at Aspen, which when completed Mr. Crowe believed would almost double the annual production of that great camp, iu the making of low grade ore prolitable. A visit was made to tho Daly and Anchor mines, both id which were perfectly per-fectly astonishing to him in the amount of wealth which was disclosed. Tho Daly is a pretty good niino today. It is paving dividends that are most salis-faetorn salis-faetorn to its stockholders; it has very large reserves in sight, while thy properly prop-erly is only developed to a limited extent. ex-tent. The property is now only getting It has become almost a necessity on the part of the company to take some step of this kind in order to make the low glade ores of tlio mine available. Of these there are said to be an almost indelinitu number of tons disclosed throughout all tlio workings of the properly, as well as the vast accumulations accumula-tions on the dumps, the results of years of working. Those who are most familiar with the property, say there is probably .10:10 tons now extracted which will ruu from $;'o to in silver and gold. In the mine crosscuts have been seen on the same class of material where it showed a width of twenty feet. It would be almost impossible to compute com-pute the number of dividends that could bo divided from the utilization of this class of ore in the Northern Spy mine alone, and it is presumed that the Caresa, which is owned by the same company, could yield an almost equal amount as its neighbor. In determining the site of the mill there is too prerequisite, and that is water, a commodity that is not unusually unusu-ally abundant in i'intic. At Homans-ville Homans-ville the Northern Spv and Hiillion-lleck Hiillion-lleck practically control tho entire supply sup-ply of several large springs, and it is believed that the works will be located there and the old mill which is now standing will be torn down to give place lor the new one with modern methods. ready to be tho mino which it will become be-come iu a few years more, and the monthly disbursements which it is now making is only a premonition of what are to come in the future. The inspection of tho workings of the Anchor in company with Hon. E. Ferry w as a revelation. There was ore everywhere, every-where, and as tho company own aver two miles on the strike of the vein, it could not be exhausted within the lifetime life-time of any 0110 now living. One stops has been opened on the trend of the ore body that is I11O feet long, which discloses dis-closes a continuous vein of mineral ranging from four to ten feet in w idth. Tho mine is making a daily production of over 10(1 tons and it has apparently not made an impression on the reserves in sight; on the contrary, each additional addi-tional foot of development has increased them. Mining Kichang-a. Something happened on the exchange this morning that was not down on the bills as being part ot the regular programme. pro-gramme. It was something in the nature na-ture of a surprise, too, and it shocked the nerves ot all the brokers who are in the least inclined to bo hysterical. When it happened, .lake Bamberger was oliering to bet Conklin t.'.Vl.O HI that Malad would bo seiliiig for if "ill a share williiu the next si months. The reporter for TllK Tiviks was getting ready to get out his wad to cover tl.u bet in case Conklin declined, w hen the episode occurred. There had been such an expenditure of wind on the calls for The road to the Daly is being shoveled out and shipments can be resumed in a few days should there be no more snow; but if there is, the mill has i;too tons of ore on hand, so that stockholders need not be concerned about tho continuance continu-ance of dividends. While .Mr. Crowe did not go to sec the dleucoe, he had had a conversation with the foreman, Peter Henry, who had come over to town with assays from the new strike, the certificate of which gave the result ot 2'2 ounces in silver, fi-l per cent lead and a small ninouut of gold. From the representation made by Mr. Henry of the amount of such ore that had beeu opened up in the Gleneoe within the last few weeks and the further fact that the mino is supposed sup-posed to bo on tho same great vein as the Ontario, it seems assured that it w ould iu a very short time become one of the most valuable iu the l'ark district. dis-trict. A notice appears elsewhere in this issue of The Times calling for a joint meeting of the mining exchange and the chamber of commerce to take some several days that the gas had accumulated accumu-lated in the chimney and the pressure bad become so strong that something had to give, and give it did. The way that explosion scattered line dust over that chamber was a holy terror to silk hats and collars that were sixteen hands high.

A Timks representative last night ran against Hon. George W.

The conversation ran on a variety of subjects sub-jects from ll. e successful termination of the proposition hich Crowe keeps always al-ways iu view, to the mines and mill's of Park aud the changes that had been made since he had eeen theiu some years ago. As to the World's Fair mine Mr. Crowe informed the reporter that his visit had resulted in a way that exceeded exceed-ed the most sanguine anticipations which he had entertained for it.
