The following is the amount of ore delivered at the Crescent sampler for the week ending January 9th : LBS. Januarys........

Ferry has leased the Wood-side Wood-side mine, situated in Woodside canyon, to John Angove and others. Mr. Angoye ,is an old-time miner" in the Park and will no doubt work the Woodside to its greatest great-est advantage. This mine produced in former years over $25,000 of ore, but has been idle for some time. The re-opening of these old mines is a sign of increasing confidence - in the amount of "hidden treasures" in and about Park City. The Daly and Ontario pay day has been delayed this month. Mr. Daly is East and Mr. Chambers is in Montana. He is expected in the Park in a few days, bringing with him the sack that cheers. E. M. Allison, sheriff of Summit county, a man drawing a salary from the people, has been in the Park for a few days as the representative of the People's party, hunting up material for the purpose of contesting the right of D. C. McLaughlin to. take his seat in the Legislature. The last election in Summit county and how the Liberals elected their candidates is still fresh in the mind of the public as is also the People's party "protest," and how it was scattered to the four winds by Col. W. M. Ferry's letter to the Commissioner. Commis-sioner. Now, E. M. Allison, the county sheriff, assisted by Harry Shields, a so-called so-called lawyer, is taking affidavits of votes going over the election again hunting for frauds. It is a contemptible affair for an officer of the people to be engaged in, and Mr. Allison should be thoroughly ashamed of himself forsuch a proceeding. Narcisse Lefevre. a French Canadian, died suddenly at the Ontario mine last Sunday morning. He had lately returned from the Sisters' Hospital, where he had been for some time, and it seems he had not sufficiently recovered from his illness to have returned to work. Being taken down again, he began to take some medicine medi-cine of his own preparation, which, according ac-cording to the doctor's statement, was too strong and caused a fit of coughing. In his struggles an aneurism of the subclavian sub-clavian was ruptured, causing instant death. A post-mortem examination was held, but nothing more was ascertained than the abov6. Lefevre was a well-liked and respected fellow, his habits being sober and steady. He came to Park City about six months ago from Austin, Nevada, Ne-vada, and has worked at the Ontario since that time. He wa3 a member of the Knights of Labor organization, and was buried by the Knights from the Catholic Cath-olic church. - The debate to come off next Tuesday evening in the basement of the Congregational Congre-gational Church, on the Chinese question is attracting some attention. The ques tion is: Resolved, That all further immigration im-migration of Chinese subjects to this country should be prevented. J. F. Bledsoe and Chas. A. Short, two pedagogues, peda-gogues, handle the affirmative while Wilson I. Snyder and H. V. Martin, two lawyers, take care of the negative. The worthy object for which it is given should bring a good crowd. . Let everyone be present. C. A. S. |
