PARK CITY, .March 20. After a three days' run In a sort of limbering up process, pro-cess, the Daly-Judge mill was put In commission com-mission yesterday morning In earnest. The last of the ocnnectlons were made Wednesday evening by the electricians, and henceforth two shifts, comprising compris-ing not less than twenty-five men, will run tho plant regularly. The fact that the water supply, which Is taken out of the tunnel, is small, the company will not put the plant to It fullest capacity for the present. Just as soon as the spring thaw starts to loosen the lnmense snowbanks from the mountain tops there will be an abundance of water, and doubtless the regular three shifts will be put to work, and the great tonnage of second-class ore that fills all the bins available at the present time will be reduced to commercial commer-cial value. The mill is one of the best equipped In the West, the company having Just recently re-cently installed the-very latest Improved machinery, besides overhauling the entire plant, which was comparatively new when the present management took over the property from the old Anchor company. com-pany. MUlnen who have been employed to put everything in readiness for an early start pronounce the plant in excellent condition, condi-tion, and have gone to their homes satis-tied satis-tied with their share in what they say is an r.saured success. More men will be added to the force at the mine, which now numbers upward of a hundred, and as soon as a few of the ore bins are emptied by the grinders at the mlli, it Is said the management will extract some first-class ore which comes from the 12u0-foot level. It Is not alone gratifying to note the Improvement nude In this hitherto undeveloped unde-veloped mountain and the army of men that has been given employment by the opening up of this mineral sone, but to the credit of this company It should be said that on the eve of the starting up of the new mill the men at this plant were notified of an increase of 25 to 60 cents per day in their pay. When It Is considered that the directors of the Daly-Judge Daly-Judge have gone into their pockets for thousands of dollars to place this property on a paying basis, it assuredly speaks well of their confidence In the ultimate outcome of the -nine when they pay their employees the same wages that the dividend-paying properties are now doing. READY FOR CAMPAIGN IN GILSONITE FIELD. I PRICE. March 20. Superintendent Baxter Bax-ter and Mr. Brown of the Gllson Asphal-tum Asphal-tum company, accompanied by Mrs. Bux-ter Bux-ter and Field Superintendent Mc Andrews, were here laK night and left early today for the strip and the Vernal country, where Mr. Baxter will arrange for an ag-grenaive ag-grenaive campaign this season.

BIO STRIKE IN LEADVILLE. LEADVI1..LE, March 20. Two months ago the Home Mining company borrowed money on its machinery to prospect In virgin ground, believing that they would encounter new ore bodies. Since then they have opened up several hundred feet of good grade iron material, while last evening they uncovered three feet of lead-silver lead-silver ore that averages $00 to the ton. The new etrike has caused great excitement, excite-ment, as It was the Home company that three years ago struck ore that set Its stock up from $1 to $15 a share In a week, and from which strike $200,000 in dividends was paid.
