history of park city district is essentially that of at its mines no doubt that you gentlemen Kent lemen are interested mostly in the results accruing from the operations of those mines among the first producers in hi this district was the walker and webster mine tile this location was waa made dur lag ng tho the summer ot of 1869 by one ephram hanks and a shipment at 0 orty forty tons at 0 ore was made from this property during the summer ot of 1870 this location nas mas in that section ot of this district known as rebellion hill several other locations took place lace in that section some of which antedated anti dated the 1111 walker alker and webster but none 0 of these made history of a character to attract outside attention the first mining property to attract widespread wid espre attention to ta the ore deposits of this idi district w was as ill the is 3 ontario rector steen one of the locators gives the date ot of that discovery as june 1872 the covery according to the
