of confirming the mayors appointments
It scores tbs republican aldermen for stulti-
flying themselves by attempting to retain

will not be smut to the iniquitous gang
which has brought shame upon our city'a

Mayor Gelsthorpe.says he does not pro-
pose to be baked by obstructionists, and
will continue to make appointments until
they are confirmed. The main fight is said
to concentrate on the city engineer.

CAMP MERCUR.
Colorado Capital Finding Invest
ment in Utah Gold Fields.

Mercur, Utah's new gold district, is
showing up well. 1t has attracted favor
able notice from Denver capitalists, who
have succeeded in obtaining control OF
some of the finest claims in the camp.
The location is near old Camp Floyd.
The town is fifteen miles from Lehi, on
the Rio Crande Western, and is easily
reached from Salt Lake city, which is
headquarters for most of the companies
operating in the district Mercur is an
other Illustration of a former silver camp
changing into gold producer. The gold,
mainly in chloride state, is found in a
blanket vein of lime and shale, which has
been traced for a distance of ten miles.
The ore is treated by the cyanide process,
at cost OF g to 50 per ton, including ali
expense of labor and milling. The aver
age GRE value is SIG per ton.
Major A v Bohn, of Iseadville, who
has just returned from Mercur speaks
highly of the district. Several Leadville
miners have located there. The major
ent boom in gold production, as many of
the mines were known twenty years ago,
but the ore was of too low grade to be
handled at that time In the majors
opinion there is only one large mine in the
camp. This is called the Mercur. 1t en-

Eureka School Tax.

That Eureka needs additional school
facilities cannot be gainsaid. The
question is how they can best be Sc
cured, the trustees seeming to think
a tax the best way to reach that end.
We think not If the tax is levied, it
is the intention of the board to build
two additional rooms to the building
now used. We think this would be a
mistake, for if the town goes forward,
as all expect it will, the rooms so built
will meet the requirements no better
than the present structure and an
other tax would have to be levied for
more room and the process would be
continued indefinitely and the result
would be that the district would, in a
few years. have a lot of buildings, to-
tally unfit for the purposes intended
and an eyesore to the town. The bet
ter way in our judgment, would be to
wait year or so, and bond the dis
trict for a house that would be ample
for several years in addition to being
a credit to the town. 1t should be a.
matter of pride that Eureka, the CEN
ter and commercial metropolis of the
richest mining district in the west,
should have a temple of learning in
ferior to none of her neighbors. We
are aware that it is some inconveni-
ence to have the school divided as it
now is, but it is better so now, than to
have it so a few years hence, as it
surely will be if the proposed tax is
carried.-Tintic Miner.
