ready Been Made.
An illustration of the great activity
all through the Camp Floyd mining
region is shown by the rush to get
the best loca tons In the new town of
Sunshine, which has been plated by
the Red Cloud management, adjoining
the Sunshine mine.
I. A. WichershaGn left yesterday for
the site and will Immediately prepare
for active real estate work He has
charge of the town. Before the plats
of the town were made. Mr.. Wicker
sham had made deals for over $1,000
worth Of the lots. According to the
survey of Mr.. Breckon there will be
about 200 building lots and three
streets, the main street running right
to the Sunshine mill and being the
present highway from Fairfield sta
ton. The property sold will furnish
sites for a. hotel two saloons, a lum-
Der yard q, boarding house and two
offices. as we'll as several sites for res
licences.
The town will be situated nearly five
miles from Mercur. It will be in a
mountain park, about four miles long
and half a mile wide, running from
is sandy. It is in the widest part Of
the park. The main street will be
graded, and a road has already been
made almost to the divide between it
and Mercur. It Is six miles from Fair
field station, and a daily stage is al
ready running to it.

It Is evident that Captain De Lamar
IS thoroughly IN earnest in his belief in
the Mercur region. It is expected that
he will soon call for a delivery of the
Mercur stock, as it is believed that he
is anxious to proceed with his schemes
on that. 1t is now generally conceded
. THAT he has some great syndicate be-
mind him and that it is the purpose Of
this syndicate to corral q. great por-
tlon of the northern part of the dis
trict
One of the most important move
rnents to be made by Captain De La
mar is the erection of a gigantic mill
on the Golden Gate property. This
mill viii be the greatest in tine camp.
as it viii have several times the capa-
city OF any other The site mas al
ready been selected for the great plant
and 1t will not be Icing before earnest
work on 1T will be commenced.
Preparations ere also being COM
pleted for THE sinking of the great
working shaft on the Golden Gate.
The place has been selected and the
plans drawn. II Is designed to crib the
shaft up 100 feet above the ground in
order to provide a dump that viii be

IS to be carried on. Gigantic todsting
machinery Will he put i'm and other
work viii be done in accordance with
this plan. The body of ore on the
Golden Gate is SO large and so well
blocked out that just such gigantic
plans are justified. 1t is evident that
the property is to be made a huge
shipper
Nor is Captain De Lamar satisfied
AZ
stock. He IS constantly acquiring new
claims that show signs of holding the
vein 1t seems to be his design TO
circle the entire hill northeast of Mer-
cur town. With the Golden Gate and
other acquisitions he has practically
done so, only the Hecla properties
standing in his way. He would pro-
baby take these if he could gain con-
trol Of them. It is understood that
made. and that Captain De Lamar
stands ready to take the bond if the
present holders should conclude To let
their deal drop through.
Among the latest acquisitions of
Captain De Lamar are the Arctic
group and the Tough Nut group, both
adjoining the Golden Gate in the
northeast. 1t is said that on each of
these he has secured a bond of SIS. 000
is being carried on in the Tough Nut
On the north end a tunnel is being
run in and after going slightly over
100 feet it has struck some sery good
ore and IS piling 1T up ON the dump.
It is thought that both these latter &C.
quisltiCns will prove heavy producers.
Captain De Lamar is a peculiar fell

last night. He made a good timing in
the Idaho properties and when he
pulled out ne went to Nevada and
made q good thing in the Ferguson dis
Urict. Now he is coming to Mercur and
has got in on the ground floor. He
has had foresight enough to see where
the opportunities lay and he has had
money enough 20 carry out his ideas.
OF course he has an immense advant-
age in being able TO get ready money
enough TO take him through. The
handling of $4,000 With him is simply
a matter Of signing a check

affects thirty-f1ve men, who have been
working there steadily all summer.
They are greatly interested in the
matter, and yesterday Mr.. Grothe re-
ceived the following telegram from his
bookkeeper in answer to telegram
inquiring as to the status of the mine:
Miners protest against verdict this
morning
The accident, as shown by the evil
dence, was caused by the sudden
swelling of debris and a cave into an
upraise in which Foreman Shott was
al the time. The ground was contin-
uaiiy swelling and care had been taken
to prevent such a calamity. This was
shown by the fact that Shott did not
venture into the upraise until he had
first inquired of a miner If appear
ances were all right.
The work being done was a raise
from the Belle Peck tunnel for the
purpose of tapping some old workings
which were supposed to be about 200
feet above. A drift not on the charts,
however. was discovered fifty feet
above, and from this came a. rush Of
water. Since the closing down, Mr..
Grothe has been informed that the
water has broken into the tunnel. A
careful exploration of the old work
ings will now be made.

Boom is Scheduled.

a Boom is Scheduled.
Good reports of the growth of Mer-
cur continue to come in, and all the
mining men who visit the busting
camp bring back reports that simply
serve to bull the market. The interest
is growing stronger every day and all
stocks in the region have an upward
tendency The fame of the camp has
reached far outside the borders of
Utah. A number Of prominent men
have come in from the far east. have
been TO the camp. have seen and have
been conquered, with the result that
they have put in money and many
have been richly rewarded for their
enterprise.
The conservatism of Salt Lake bust
ness men has been largely overcome,
too. This conservatism in the past
has been q thing of note. All through
the money centers Salt Lake has had
widespread reputation for conser-
Vatism. The feeling seemed inbred,
and it took the form Of a decIination
to speculate in mines. The reports
from Mercur, however, have made
large inroads on this conservatism,
and a large number of business men
have made investments there, while
others are looking for some excellent
bargain that can be snapped up.
Real estate in the camp is jumping
with a rapidity that would make a
Kansas real estate boomer turn green
with envy. Town lots are In heavy de-
mand, as much on the part of specu-
lators as ON the part of men who want
10 buy and build.

Mr.. GrotI,c Says That He is Merely
Taking n breathing Spell.
a great deal of interest has arisen in
Salt Lake over the closing of the great
Poorman mine at Silver City. Idaho,
ON account of the death of Foreman
Shot. who was buried in a cave. Man
ager a. Grothe. of the mine. is in the
city, and was seen yesterday at his
office.
Il protested against the verdict of
the coroner's jury, in which it charged
that the management was at fault"
said Mr.. Grothe. Il do not see how
we could have done any better The
death of Mr.. Shot was entirely acct
dental 1t was one of those things
which hinges on q few minutes He
might have been in there a minute
earlier and saved himself or come
moment later and found the accident
had occurred.
1--WE never stinted the men in the
use of timbers. We wanted the mine
20 be as safe as possible. But when a
dangerous part Of a mine is being
worked such accidents cannot always
be helped. In order to put in timbers
1t is always necessary to clear away a
certain space. You must take out the
rock before you can put a set in place.
Now, foreman of another mine,
with whom [ have been talking today,
says that ne has often had the same
difficulty as that we have experienced
in the Poorman and that it has often
cost him over $500 before he had pro-
crossed a foot
Il closed down the mine in order to
have a breathing spell. 1 could not go
ahead with the verdict of the coroner's
jury hanging over me, because if an
other man should be caught in just
such an accident I would be severely
censured. I have therefore left the
matter wholly in the hands of the
state inspector of mines. He is at
present very ILL., but / believe he will
appoint a competent substitute who
will make a thorough examination of
our workings and eXonerate US from
the charge of the jury. The full evil
dence in the hearing has been SUBJ
mitted to him.
Il do not intend to keep the mine
closed any longer than necessary. 1t
is too good a property to let it lie
idle. I am now looking for a good,
competent, experienced foreman I
shall be very careful in my selection
and of course cannot secure the man /
want in a, day. The flow of water and
the possibility of a larger flow will
also necessitate the setting up of
special pumping machinery

reached below the 100 foot level AS
