Messrs Dern and Airs yesterday again
demonstrated their supreme faith in the
future of the properties Of the Mercur
Gold Mining and Milling company, and
made an outright purchase OF the entire
block of stock held by Gill S. Peyton, at
the going market price, which yesterday
was $3.50 to S3.6211s. The transfer involved
10000 shares and the purchase was made
jointly by the gentlemen named. Mr..
Peyton has recently embarked in num-
Der of great enterprises entirely without
the mining world, and it is understood
that his desire to part with his Mercur
stock was due entirely to his
being unable, under old conditions. to
attend to all of the projects in
which he was interested with justice TO
any of them. This is the heaviest min
ing stock deal since the sale of the $780,
coo Silver King block, and it is one of the
most important of the year. The sale OF
the Peyton stock leaves but about $4,000
| shares of Mercur in the hands of parties
outside of the heavy owners.
Recent developments in the Mercur
nature, and the values of the ores taken
from the properties are constantly in
creasing, until now one of the tunnels Is
yielding rock which averages from $40 to
$50 to the ton. The ore bodies are simply
inexhaustible, and every foot of develop
ment but further demonstrates the fact
that the true worth of this remarkable
group of mines has never been even ap-
proximated. 1t is full of surprises to
even the oldest workers in it. 1t is the
intention of the company to do some ex-
tensive development work, in addition to
that now under way, within the next few
months. and the properties are to be
opened up to even greater possibilities
than has been the case during the past
two months. Everything at the new mill
is operating with extreme smoothness
and the average daily treatment of ores
is from $50 to 160 tons. with the monthly
product value running up over the $4,000
mark.

CRAwFoRDs NOW COMPLETED.
They Are Too Late to Go to Austria
Iia This Steamer.

Too late for the steamer which will sail
for Australia on the 4th of the coming
month from the port of San Francisco,
the workmen at the Eagle foundry have
completed the two Crawford mills which
are to be sent out to the Coolgardie
gold fields to Sir Morton Frewen. 1t was
anticipated that the machines would have
been finished last week, and in that event
they would have been in ample time TO
be held here until toward the end of
time TO catch the steamer sailing on the
Cd of May. The failure to arrive on time
will be a great disappointment to Ere
wen. who has been waiting patiently for
the mills in order that he might get to
work in the new gold fields and demon
strate just what they can do with gold
quartz. He will be forced to wait the
pleasure of circumstances, however. The
new" mills are models of their class and
will take care of not less than ten tons
each of ore daily.
General Manager Haven, of the Cane
Springs Consolidated Mining company,
which controls the patents of the Craw-
fords and is operating five of the mills in
the Gold Hill battery, will leave for the
west on Monday and make the trip out
as hurriedly as possible. Good reports
continue to be received from the proper
ty. Ali five Of the mills are being opera
ted, and just as soon as some water de-
VelopmentS result fayorably and the flow
at the plant still further increases, the
sixth machine is to be put in and opera
ted regularly.

MAY OPERATE TRACTION ENGINES.
Great Project Being Considered by

Great Project Being Considered by
the hex Syndicate.
For some time past the members of the
hex syndicate have had under considera-
ton a proposition to put on line Of trac-
ton engines, or steam wagons, with
train of trail wagons, between the smelter
at bennington and the hex mines in the
Detroit district, for the purpose of trans
porting the ore and supplies without the
aid of animal power. The negotiations
have now reached such a point that every
indication points to the success of the
undertaking, and it is anticipated that
while he is in the territory President TN
derwood of the syndicate, will make the
necessary contracts for the wagons AT
any rate he will go south about the third
day of the week and thoroughly review
the situation. He spent yesterday at the
Commercial in Bingham, and was highly
pleased with the manner in which the
plant is operating.
Should the steam wagons be put on II
Is estimated that the cost of delivery for
the ore would not be more than one-half
of what 1t is today. These engines are
entirely traction and will follow the road,
drawing from go to 100 tons, and making
in the neighborhood of five miles per
hour. The promoters of the enterprise
have also in view the placing of a num-
Der of machines in other mining and ag-
ricultural districts of the territory.

TOOK A MIGHTY JUMP.
Silver Was Yesterday n Great Sur

Silver Was Yesterday n Great Sur
prise to All.
Silver surprised the talent yesterday by
making the heaviest daily advance in sew
eral years and touching a point where 1t
has not been since the first day of Sep
TENDER of last year, 65S4 cents. This was
an upward flight of q cent and five
eighthS, and it rather staggered the oper-
ators of this city and territory. Many Of
them were Of the opinion that the quota
ton was a hoax, or that, on the other
hand, a mistake had been made in trans
the metal would take such a jump, and
it was only when dispatch confirming
the first report was received that all
doubts were at rest. The advance meant
much to those nline-oWners who were on
the market with concentrates or ore and
it also meant that the payments of the
shelters were consequently materially
higher than would have been the case
had silver maintained its Fridays quota
ton. A slight move either way means a
great deal TO both the smelling people
and the producers.
A New York dispatch received last night
conveys the intelligence that the advance
was due t. the granting of an armistice
and the renewed hope of declaration of
peace between China and Japan, on
terms which will compel China to pay a
heavy indemnity, thereby requiring her
to come into the open market as a buyer
Of silver. 1t is also anticipated that with
the close of the war a revival of business
VIII take place, causing an increased de-

ment of the white metal, but those in
connection with China and Japan are the
chief.

GOLD COIN GROUP SOLD.
More Camp Floyd Properties to be
ODened Up.


Another purchase of considerable i'm
portance has just been made in the Camp
Floyd district, and through the negotia-
tons which yesterday reached a success
full termination, B. T. Lloyd secured for a
syndicate made up of himself and several
eastern people, the Gold Coin group OF
mines, located one mile north of the Mer-
cur group and composed of the Gold Coin,
Gold Coin No. 2, 3, 4, and 6, the Border
and Border No. 2, besides a fine spring OF
water with sufficient flow to supply a
mill. The deal involves the mediate pay
ment of the sum of $500 to the former
owners. Messrs. Bragnon. Murphy and
Smythe.
These properties have been only rudely
developed, but they have seven feet OF
milling ore now uncovered. The vein is
well defined and dips to the northeast,
running northwest and southeast in por-
phyry and lime. A tunnel is now being
run on the Gold Coin No. 5, but is is the
intention of the purchasers to drop down
the mountain some 200 feet and drive in
to catch the ore down where the vein has
without doubt widened out very material
ly. The vein can also be tapped at the
bottom of the canyon some 500 feet below
the mouth of the 2Oo-foot tunnel. The
syndicate will also put force of men to
work on the other side of the hill on the
Border No. 2 and develop the east side
of the canyon. This is considered ono or
the best facilitated groups in the district
and the new owners are firm In the opin-
ion that they have great thing in reach.

SEIZURE OF THE VINE.
Did She Garry Ccntraband Arms and
Ammunition.

AtA0 SAS nj anu
Ammunition.
San Francisco, Gala, March 30.-The
telegraphic news from Los Angeles,
announcing the seizure OF Captain
Burns schooner Vine, at Guayunas.
Mexico, for the alleged carrying of
co1traband arms and ammunition, has
caused no end of comment on the wa
ter front here. The Vine sailed from
here in January last, in command of
Captain Paul. It has been announced
a nd advertised for weeks that she
would carry a large party of eXcur-
sionists to Mexican ports, Honolulu
and Tahiti, but, strangely enough, She
sailed with only one passenger, and
that passenger was G. M. Sieroy, the
man yyho has returned 10 Los AnSe-
les and who reports the seizure of the
schooner. In preparation for this al
legged excursion, ths Vine took on
board a number of heavy boxes and
bundles and several big trunks. There
were a large number of cases marked
provisions and canned goods"
Captain Burns declared that he had
laid in $4,000 worth OF stores for his
excursionists. 1t was asserted here
today thet the Vine was laden with
arms and ammunition intended to be
smuggled into Hawaii for the use of
royalists who plotted revolution and
that by advertising the schooner
as a pleasure craft she would be able
10 land her contraband cargo without
attracting attention. Mr.. Wilder, Ha-
waiian consul here, asserted today that
he knew of a big consignment of arms
having been brought here to be SNUG
gled into Hawaii and that the con-
signment included two Hotchkiss rapid
fire guns. There is q strong suspicion
that if the Vine carried a contraband
cargo it was destined for Hawaii and
not for any Mexican pert.
