Now we are to have the town OF
Sunshine-another mining camp in the
Camp Floyd region
For some time the owners of the Sum
shine mine and of other mines in that
immediate vicinity, have been desir-
ious of having a residence portion of
Mercur in the vicinity of their prop-
critics, for the benefit of their men and
for the accommodation of those who
will be brought to that part of the
great gold belt by the increased de-
velopment of the various properties in
that vicinity. While the Sunshine mill
is right in the town Of Mercur, the
mine is some distance from it, and is
| in such a. position as to make resi-
dence in Mercur proper somewhat in
convenient. Therefore, for some weeks
there have been negotiations along this
line, to the end that the new town will
be built and will be called Sunshine.
The site decided upon for the new
mushroom mining camp growth is a
fiat on the Red Cloud group, which adj
joins the Sunshine The Red Cloud
group was the first to be located in
that particular district, and it lies con-
| venient to a number of very promising
properties, such as the Malvern and
Old Fred. On it is a fiat of about
twenty acres, suitable for building. In
fact, a number of houses have already
been erected on it, and a very respect
able mining town can be put up.
Civil Engineer Breckon went to the
| camp yesterday for the purpose of
plating the new townsite. and in a
very few days building lots there will
be put on the market. With the devel-
opment of the surrounding mines this
property should prove very valuab BILE.
Water for its use is already on the
ground, coming from the Sunshine ex-
tension of Colonel Wallis pipe line. AS
soon as the district is built up it is
expected that an application for town
privileges will be made to the Tooele
county court.
The Sunshine mill will be in full
operation next Monday. Judge Sher-
man, who has just returned from the
property. says that after some small
delays it has been started, and small
quantities of ore have been put through
it during the week. Adjustments have
been made and everything seems to
indicate a successful run. The tanks
will be filled today or tomorrow. The
mine is doing very we'll and a heavy
development is expected from this time
onward.

GOLD IN SKULL VALLEY.
Some Quiet Prospecting Being Done
in That Lonely Region.

For several weeks those on the IN
side have known that there is every
prospect of rich strike of gold over
in the Skull valley region. A number
of stories have been coming in, but
they have been carefully suppressed
in the interest of those who wanted to
secure the best there was to be found
before the rush began. Those who
have given the tip have been so i'm
pressed with what has been shown
them, however, that number of pros
pecting parties have been started Out
with grub stakes, and several are
there now Several very astute mining
men are inquiring into this new de-
velopment.
One prominent mining man in this
city has recently received small
sack of ore found there and has had an
assay made of it. 1t all bears gold,
running from 81 to IS. He says his
information is that over the noun
tains from ST. Johns there are found
good outcroppings of this same ore.
1t very much resembles the ore found
in Mercur and some enthusiastic pros
pectorS have gone so far as to ad-
vance the theory that they have found
the COHtiuudttoH OI lHe great Mercur
zone and that the whole intervening
country for thirty-five miles will be
found to contain this same material.
A number of claims have been located

parties are preparing to go there and

THE oIERCUR SALE.
De Lamar Option Tends to Offset the
Passing of the Dividend.


Interest yesterday in mining circles
conferred principally about the pro-
posed sale of the Mercur mine. Many
were the II told you sos among those
who have been on the right track for
several weeks. Several purchases were
made by these informed parties when
the passing of the last dividend caused
a sharp decline in the stock.
The official announcement of the
intended purchase by Captain De
Lamar had the effect of stiffening the
Mercur stock as well as the other
Camp Floyd stocks, which had shown
signs of decline in sympathy with the
Mercur A number of intending pur-
chasers were looking for SIS stock yes
terday, but it was found that the
owners were holding it higher than
that, and towards evening it was be-
ing held at $3.50 and 81. 1t is expected
that there will be a further stiffening
in price today and that it will be inn
possible to get any amount under 81.
Prospective spectators in the De
Lamar option do not feel like going
too high for fear that there may be
some hitch that will result in a, sharp
decline 1t is unlikely, therefore, that
a great amount of the floating stock
will be traded in.
Inside parties say that it will be
rather illogical to expect more divi-
dends before the delivery of the mine.
as the contract stipulates that the
present management shall deliver it
free from debt, as there is still bal
ance of the purchase money of the
Matte group to be paid off.

son OF A MINISTER.
One of the Idiots who Met on the
Alleged Field of Honor.

SAIJ FRANCISCO, Nov. 14-Paul
Upper Wilkes, the young actor who
fought the most sensational duel of
late years at Fort Lee N. Y, early
Tuesday morning, is son of Rev.
Elisha Topper Wilkes, the Unitarian
minister, formerly assistant pastor of
the First Unitarian church of Oakland
and now doing missionary work at
Berkeley and Palo Alto.
The Chronicle says the duel was the
result of statements said to have been
made by Warren McVeigh to the eff
feet that Wilkes had lost his wife's
fortune on the gaming tables at Monte
Carlo Wilkes and his wife both denied
the reports and at the first opportunity
Wilkes challenged McVeigh to fight a
duel.

water at the mine for everything.


w. E. Hubbard returned last even
ing from a four days visit to Mercur.
where he has been looking over various
properties in which he is interested,
particularly the Eagle. which is now
being largely doomed. He says a
boarding house for the men has been
put up and that an additional shift
of four men has been put to work. The
survey for a patent has just been fin
ished and the men are busy sinking a
shaft. The company will put about
1000 shares of treasury stock on the
market for development work. Tho
stock is now being held at so and 60
cents.
He says the Little Pittsburg is sink
ing a shaft and running tunnel in
on the vein on one of the south claims
and that it has struck ore on the
north claim in its tunnel. The Little
Pittsburg is now being surveyed.
He says the shaft on the south side
of the Buddie group is making a good
showing for the property. Colonel
Wall is sinking shaft on the north
side of the Little Pittsburg.

The Sacramento mill at Mercur is

been ordered and is expected to arrive
every day. The ore is we'll blocked
out and the owners say they have a
well-defned vein so feet wide. The
mill will be built for large capacity,
but at first will have a capacity OF

The Hecla hoist is now in operation,
having been put up within the last
week, and the owners are busy sink
ing to the vein.
The Red Cloud company, whose
property is near the Sunshine, has Ter

to be successful at a depth of 200 feet

Some Changes Made in the Working

of the Rover Group.
George W. E. Dorsey returned from
Mercur last evening, where, in COM
pany with Mr.. Dern, he has been in
specting the Rover properties and the
Malvern. On the Rover some changes
were made and two shifts were put to
work blocking out ore, while others
were kept at the development work.
He says that in the Malvern the work
ers have found ore in two places, in
the tunnel and in the drift, and that
the appearance is satisfactory. On the
Little Jim group the tunnel is in ore
at, depth of 4S feet, while the shaft
of the Horseshoe has nearly reached
the hanging wall at a depth of As feet
Mr.. Dorsey says all the property is in
the best of condition. He will leave
this morning for Nebraska, where he
will attend to business for several
days. Mr.. Dern will return from the
camp today after giving some more
directions.

Raise in Smelling Rates.

Some of the smelling men are ex-
pecting a raise in smelling rates on
dry ores in the near future. Dry ores
are so plentiful in Colorado this sea-
son that it is thought the smelters
there will put UP their prices, in which
case it is almost certain that Utah
rates will go in sympathy, as the rates
here are kept down largely because Of
eastern competition.

TURNED IN THE WATER.

Work Has Been Completed on the
Ontario Supply Pipe Line.
Water has now been turned into the
supply pipe line of the Ontario mine,
running from Bonaza flats near Brigh-
ton for five miles. This work was
undertaken several months ago, when
the drain tunnel was finished. When
the water was being pumped it furn-
ished sufficient supply for the surf
ace works at the mine, but when it
was drawn off through the tunnel it
was found necessary to secure some
new method Of gaining water. Pump
Ing was found to be too expensive and
the pipe line from Bonanza flats was
determined upon. The water was
turned into the pipe last week and
everything has been operating smooth
