company, a near neighbor. In the
hearing Of the cases lately before
Judge Merritt the court found for the
Geyser people in each of the five cases.
There are still three other cases pend
ing affecting the ownership of the
Backyard, a location claimed by the
Geyser, in which the Viking Gold Min
ing company represents the other side.
The year about to close has been an
eventful one for this property. There
have been some internal strifes among
the owners which happily appear to
h,Tc 1T en- settled, but while these
WEI in progress the company has had
to defend itself against enemies from
the oute;dt AS stated, the first of
these outs;de Attacks resulted in a vic
tory for the Gcyser. During the year
the pc,Luty las developed from a
me- prospect int Il large mine, and
the n.A:lpds &c milling the ores has
been improved upon to Fl extent that
has added 8 per cent 10 the percentage
of the values saved. 20: the past
four months Mr.. L. n. Smith has been
superintendent of the property. He is
a mining man of many years expert
ence in the west, and his operation of
the property appears to be entirely
satisfactory to the manager and the
directors. Sam Shrine, who has been
with the Geyser since long before it
had a mill. was put in charge of the
plant as soon as it was erected and
still retains that position.

half interest in the Ophir Springs on
the other side of the divide, so that
when the time comes to erect a mill
for the treatment of the ores a plenti-
full and exclusive water supply will
be available.
Considerable development work has
been done on the group, particularly
on the Beebee and Surprise claims on
which a shaft has been sunk to a
depth Of more than 400 feet, but
unfortunately the shaft appears to
have been started at point where the
cratic features, peculiar to the dis
trict, were prominent, and no ore was
encountered. For some time CAPTAIN
De Lamar, who owns the Golden Gate.
held lease and bond on the Beebee
and Surprise, but he surrendered it,
and the properties reverted to the vi
king
In many other claims in the group
the ore of the district has been found
and some development work has been
done, but during the past year the
company has pursued an inactive
policy and has contented itself with
granting options on portions of it's
holdings. Recently, however, a more
vigorous policy has been inaugurated
as the result of a conference held in
Colorado Springs between Manager
Neill and President Hagerman, and as
a result all expired options have been
calcelled and the company has taken
the development of its property into
its own hands. 1t is the purpose now
to open UP the ore bodies in the differ
ent locations and connect them to-
gether as much as possible through
one or more working shafts and to
erect a cyanide plant just as soon as
the ore in sight is sufficient to keep a
mill running.

GREAT EASTERN GROUP.
Four Claims That Promise to De-
veIop Into q bonanza.

Among the prominent undeveloped
properties of the Camp Floyd district
none have a more favorable location
than the Great Eastern group. This
consists of four claimS-the Great
Eastern No. 1, the No. 2, the No. 8 and
the No. 4, lying about $500 feet south
east of the Mercur property. These ad-
join the Merritt claims belonging to the
De Lamar Golden Gate company-and
are within 1,500 feet of the famous
Cannon property. These claims were
located in July, 1895, by three expert
enced mining men-Frank P. Davis,
Fred Jensen, formerly superintendent
of the Mammoth mine in the Tintic
district, and P. II. Drake.
The property lies on the dip of the
Mercur vein, and the indications are
that true vein runs from the Mercur
property through the Cannon property
and southeast through the Great East
ern. Assays from the groupings have
run as high as So, and it is the opinion
of several of the best experts in the
camp that pay ore would be obtained
at a depth of $50 feet. There is a deep
gulch running through the property
and on account of it the distance to
the vein is shortened by several hun
dred feet. In the gulch is a very large
open space and at this point it is an
nounced that a shaft will soon be put
down and a mill built as soon there
after as the conditions seem to justify

supply the mill with water is now laid

Schwartz, of Pennsylvania, WIS elected
president of the company; W. a. Sher-
man vice-president; Frank Officer
secretary and treasurer, and these
with C. H. Jacobs, the manager of the
properties, were made directors.
Regardless of the fact that no
treasury stock existed a few shares of
the capital stock held by individuals,
came out on the local market, and
were quickly taken up at $3.50 per
share. An attempt was made by one
Salt Lake broker to depreciate the
stock and the property generally, but
his object was too obvious and result
ed in consecutive advances until now
the stock cannot be touched under $3.50.
The Sunshine management laid their
plans thoroughly before incorpora ton,
and among other moves was the pur-
chase of the right to use the Mac
ArthurForest cyanide process for the
sum of 100000, the purchase to be con-
dltional on the right of patent to the
process being sustained in the United
States The deal was made ON the Sd
day of September 1895, between Mr..
Goad, representing the American Gold
and Silver Extraction company, and the
Sunshine people. The mills operating
in the Camp Floyd district before the
Sunshine was discovered have found
cess until its use bears but slight
resemblance to the patented medium,
but the Sunshine people believed it wise
to arrange for it's use subject to the
decision of the United States supreme
court.
The opening up of the Sunshine mine
and the subsequent success attending
the enterprise to work the ores has adj
vertised the fact that the Mercur gold
belt has a much greater extent than
was believed TO be possible one year
ago. Claims have been located all
around the Sunshine and some have
been purchased by the owners Of the
Mercur mine, showing the faith that
those gentlemen hold in the extent and
value of the district. Even at the Sun
shine the march of the prospector did
not stop and today there are groups Of
claims. many of which belong to in
corporations, which are located one,
two and two and a half miles to the
Sunshine. Nor are these claims to be
designated as wildcats for on every
property where extensive work has
been done the ore has been discovered
which it is found have been disclosed.
The belief prevalent among the men
who have given the greatest study to
the district, is that the peculiar for
nation and values of the Mercur dis
trict will end when that differently
mineralized portion Of the range in

to be worth over 100000, and it has
frequently been announced that a
figure Of over $1,000, 900 has been re-
fused for the property.
After having pursued development
work on the property for two years,
and demonstrated that mine existed
in the south end of Camp Floyd dis
trict, the owners decided to erect a.
mill and last July commenced work on
the construction of the plant. A struc-
ture sufficient to hold a 300 ton plant
has been erected and power and crush
ing machinery to that capacity have
been put in with teaching tanks, at
present not quite up to the crushing
capacity. The mill was completed be-
fore October. but owing to the scarcity
of water did not commence operations
until November Is, at which time the
pipe line of the Gold Belt Water COM
pany reached the mill. Prior to the
advent of the water from Ophir canyon
eleven miles distant, the Sunshine peo-
pie were under the necessity of hauling
water by wagon from Camp Floyd for
the use of the hosting plant and the
mine, and when the machinery of the
mill was all in place water from the
same source was hauled for a pre-
liminary run to test the machinery
1t was not until after all the develop
ment work necessary to demonstrate
the presence of a mine had been COM
pleted, ore bodies blocked out, a fine
hosting plant and mill erected, that
the owners of the property undertook
to incorporate the Sunshine Mining
company. This was done in September
last, the incorpora ton being for 81, $780,
600 divided into 250,000 shares of the
par value of $40 each. AT the time of
the incorporation all of the stock was
issued to the various holders and no
treasury stock was retained. J. E.

| the Geyser ores. The capacity of the
mill was but sixty tons per day, and
being an old affair, and not nearly UP
to the standard of modern cyanide
plants, its work has not been con-
sidered as bringing about the highest
results, but it is a. matter of record
nevertheless that the cyanides have
been showing a saving of from 81 to
80 per cent of the values and the re-
suits have been satisfactory to the
company.
The group comprises five claims
! situated close to the town of Mercur.
The original vein ran from fifteen to
thirty feet in thickness, but just re-
Gently, what was supposed to be the
| foot wall was cut through and a re-
markable body of the same character
of ore and carrying the same values
as the upper vein, was cut into. The
new discovery showed a clear vein of
| thirty feet in thickness and practically
gives the mine a vein Of sixty feet of
ore of an average assay value of $11 IN
gold per ton.
This encountering of the second vein
is not peculiar to the GeySer, the same
thing having happened in the Mercur
mine and later in the Marion. The
theory appears to favor the existence
of a horse of lime lying near the cen
tire of the vein and dividing it into
two nearly equal parts, and some ex-
perts are of the opinion that this horse
ceases to exist when a certain part of
the mineral zone is reached.
The Geyser, in addition to holding
the record as the first gold location in
the district, also holds the distinction
of being the first property to defend
itself against litigation. A question of
title to some portions OF its territory
was the occasion of five separate suits
being brought against it's manager by
the Marion Gold Mining and Milling

THE SACRAMENTO.
Will Soon Have a Cyanide Plant in
Operation.

The fifth property in the Camp Floyd
district to put cyanide plant in
operation will be the Sacramento,
owned by Glen r. Boutwell,. Robert E.
McConaughy and J. A. Laken. The
group, comprising four full claims
which were located in 1892, lies to the
southwest Of the Mercur mine and
adjoins that famous property, the sup
position being that the Sacramento
covers a portion of the extension of
the same dimensions as it is in the
Mercur and the Geyser, excepting that
the second or under vein has not yet
been cut into in the Sacramento. The
values are also Identical with those
obtained in the other mines of the dis
trict, running from S. to $3.50 per ton
in gold, the average being in the
neighborhood of $12.
For a year past the owners have
pursued the wise policy of developing
their mine with the intention of erect
ing a plant as soon as the extent Of
the ore bodies should warrant the ex-
penditure. Some four months ago it
was decided that this period had been
reached, the vein having been sunk
and drifted on and crosscut to such an
extent that an estimate of the guam
tity of ore in sight could be made.
This was sufficient in the minds Of
the owners to warrant the mill and a
structure has just been completed to
hold machinery and tanks with a mil

THE BIG MERcUR BONANZA.
The De Lamar Mines, or the Golden
Gate.

The De Lamar Mines, or the Golden
Much has been said of the De Lamar
mines at Mercur, but there is more to
be said that must for a time perforCe
be left unsaid, and while it is currently
known that this is one Of the richest
gold mines in the west, only a favor
ed few are permitted to examine the
interior workings of the property, and
honor bound not to divulge what they
saw while in the silent recesses Of this
mystic and fabulously rich bonanza.
That there is a wealth of ore developed
in this property all are agreed, and
dame rumor has it that there is more
high grade mineral now blocked out in
this mine than is now in sight in all
the combined mines of Camp Floyd.
But time will tell the story, and there
is but little doubt in the minds of the
mining public but that the truth of
these assertions will at an early day
be verified and substantiated.
Last Monday a Herald representa-
tive made a visit to the Golden Gate
property and was courteously enter
tanned by superintendent George Kis-
lingbury, who kindly conducted him
through the upper workings of the
mine, but firmly drew the line when
the question of going down the shaft
was preached, for said he, IAN
angel from heaven could not go down
the shaft without a permit from De
Lamar
The De Lamar holdings in Mercur,
comprising 400 acres of ground in the
very center of the ore zone, has been
acquired by purchase since April Z,
1895, since which date the property has
been operated through two working
shafts and the company has put in five
hosting plants. The development
work on the Golden Gate at the time OF
purchase. aggregated about 200 feet,
but by January 1. 1896. 1t will amount
to 5000 feet, which will give a total
development on the vein to an extent
that will more than equal that done in
all the mines in the district combined
outside of the work in the Mercur,
Marion and Geyser mines, and this de-
velopment has all been done in ore,
with the exception of a small amount
