Frd Testeniere found one nugget a short time ago which was worth 928. The quarts mines have also produced There are no deep for their owner workings here excepting the Nelson, and depth was attained on that mine The lower tunnel cuts by tunneling. the vein at a depth of about 400 feet. There is a nine-stamill on the Xelson which, they say, works sixty tons of ore every twenty-fou- r hour The concentrates run high in gold and sliver. The owners of the mine Messr Nelson, Peddler ft Co., have sent out a trial shipment of these concentrates to ascertain the proper mode of treatment. When they ascertain the correct process of treating their ores, they Intend to Install the necessary machinery at their mill. Then, the money now paid to railroads for transportation of ore to smelters, can be applied to dividends on the stock. The owners of the mine deserve great credit for what they have done. For years they have been at work driving tunnels to connect with the vein, and now, that they have struck it rich," every one says they deserve it all, and more too. The Kunts brothers Dave and Charley have a fine group adjoining the Nelson mine on the east. Their property is now bonded to Newhouse. M. M. Jnhnosn and Ed Meade were few days ago and closed the deal with the Messr Kunt Work is to begin shortly, as soon as machinery to sink on the property arrives. From all sides it is heard that the Hunts Properties are among the best here. The ore carries rich values in gold here & and silver. The Greenback Is owned by Hall, Walker and Butler; and, let me tell it is a wonder. I have ore I obtained there which. Instead of breaking, will bend, it is so rich in silver, Bra. it will a run as high as 20,000 ounces u, good. I am living in a tent on the only street of the town. The ground, which Is now dotted with tent was recently located aa a placer, and the placer is location. lapped by an agricultural The owner of the placer has ordered all those now on the location to vacate, hut we elect to stay. The ground is unsurveyed, and as no one can give a title to It, who amongst the claimants have a better title to it than we? J. H. Thain, a prospector from Tonopah, has several locations and was showing me some of his ore. Portions of it show free gold, and' he says there is sylvanlte in it like that in Cripple Creek. J. H. Brown of Oregon allowed me to inspect some ore from a location made by him the next day after his arrival here. It shows free gold and one piece contains horn silver. Magnus Benson, our Paganini, has claim which. If he receives anywhere near their true value for, will enable him to return to Sait Lake and devote the balance of his days to his favorite instrument the violin. ' To enumerate all the good claims held by the boys here would take too long, so I will dose.

In a few days a hoit is exd pected when the work will he ahead to develop the property. The old Mountain City mine, from which hundreds of thousands of dollars have been taken, is now bonded to Newhouse. The manner of hoisting the ore of this mine to the surface was by windlas There is about 2u0 tons of good grade concentrating ore on the dumps. As soon as convenient this will be milled. The Resurrection mine, which, owing to water, could not be worked below a depth of fifty feet, is also under bond. It was fabulously rich, like the Argenta, which is an extension of it. These two mines, the old timers say, produced fortunes during the early days of the camp. The Protection, lying below and across the river from the Resurrection, is nowr under bond by O. P. Poole of Denver. Mr. Poole represents Moffat ft Smith of Denver. He has let contracts on the Protection and on the Hunts & Schlagg property, which Joins the Hunts individual property. The Protection has a fine, large quartz vein carrying good values in gold and silver. The Kunts ft Schlagg property, like the Hunts, the Nelson and the Mountain City, are In slate, while the Greenback, Protection Resurrection, and Argenta, are in granite. I have been around for miles and have seen veins everywhere, averaging from from one to nearly one hundred feet wide. There is scarcely a vein that you cannot pan free gold from. Several prospectors are here from Tonopah who freely assert that the showing here is away ahead of that there. My candid opinion Is that this section, from Contact to Brun-eaMardis, McDonald creek, twelve miles northeast, and on Bull Run, Edgemont and Tuscarora, will soon be sought for. It is a wonderfully mineralised country and one that, were It located In Africa, or near the frozen north, would now be producing great wealth; but, because it is in our own country.

This is to the effect thut the Union Pacific spur, or high line is to be extended to the Ontario mill, work already having begun. This in itself may not uu-.ii- i much, but its Importance is indeed great when the meaning of Its benefit to the camp is understood. In the first place H shows that the old Ontario is yet a great producer, that the mill is on a paying basis and that the management of the company have implicit faith in the mine and in the camp. At the same time it will save both time and money as the product of the mill will now be loaded on the cars without previous hauling and shipped direct to the samplers. The new track will be a continuation of the upper branch of the switch at the Kopp loading station and will terminate at the northeast corner of the Ontario mill. Part of the old building at the mouth of the tunnel has been torn away and excavating and grading will begin Immediately. About 500 feet of the new track will be laid and the ground for this distance must be graded and cut down from five to fifteen feet. Notwithstanding the great amount of dirt to be removed, a conservative estimate places the completion of the work at two weeks. The mill will be put in operation again as soon as work in the mine can he resumed, so that the new track will also he put Into commission as soon as the work Is finished. Work will begin in the mine as soon as the cages can he run, so that before the machinery la really covered by the shaft house, the property will be producing again. While speaking of the extension of the high line spur to the Ontario mill, a very well known mining man remarked that he felt satisfied that inside of a year the spur would be extended to take in the Alliance and We are also Daly Judge properties. Inclined to believe that this will he the case, aa such was the nrlgnal intention, which for several reasons was not carried out Now, however, the prospects for the camp are most bright and Inviting, notwithstanding the general feeling of depression that seems to exist, and we believe that present Indications fully warrant such a step on the part of the companies concerned. Park City la undoubtedly on the eve of greater prosperity than she has ever before enjoyed. Many of the prospects that have been are slowly, undergoing development perhaps, hut surely nearing the point when they will become heavy producer shippers and dividend payers.
