Hon. Thomas G. Merrill. vice pres1-
dent of the Binetalhc Union. and
chairman Of the finance committee of
the organization. is in the city, guest
of the Knutsford.
In answer to inquiries made by a
Herald representative as to the sue
cess of the objects of the union, Mr.
Merrill said:
$50 far as we have been successful
in raising funds for the pushing of an
educational campaign, and we are dis
Z lsibuting weekly 100000 of bimetallic
Publications. including books. pam
phlets and newspapers favoring the
cause. 1t is estimated by the secretary
that this literature, taken at a con-
sentative estimate, reaches not less
than one hundred thousand voters
weekly. The feeling among those who
have the cause at heart is that the only
hope for immediate bimetallism is the
education of the voters of this country
by the distribution of approved bime-
talllc literature; also the organization
OF unions west and south Of the Mis-
sfssippi valley. The amount of money
already raised has been sufficient thus
far to carry on this work of education;
but 1T viii be necessary in order TO
push the work of education until after
the elections of next year, to raise a
great deal more in addition to that al
ready subscribed. The starting of a
campaign of education and organiza-
ton requires an outlay of a much lar
ger amount of money than the contin-
uance of the work after it is once
fairly under way. To carry on this
work until after the elections next year,
1t is necessary that every earnest friend
of hiY1lafsq l1icra S1n1I1d NIT their GhO1Il-
ders to the wheel and come to our
assistance. This is a. matter that not
alone concerns the silver producing
states and territories of the west, but
it is also a matter Of vital Importance
to the people Of the entire country"
How do you find the feeling
throughout the west on this subject?"
asked the reporter.
TT is thoroughly in favor Of the car
rying out the theory of bimetallism,"
was Mr.. Merrill's reply. eff the prop
osition was put to a vote it would
carry by five to one. The south is I'M
QueStionably in favor of binletalliSm,
and if the question can be brought be-
fore the people so that they can have
the opportunity of voting upon it, we
can carry for bimetallism the electoral
votes of the southern. mountain and
Pacific states, and with these the bat
2Ie ground, will be the agricultural
Rates of the Mississippi valley, and
g7ere is where our campaign Of educa-
tfona1 work is being done. We have
little reason to hope that we can carry
for bimetallism any electoral votes
east of the Allegheny mountains. The
people are being educated upon this
question through two means. First,
by their dire necessities and their suf-
fering; secondly, by the distribution of
approved bimetallic literature, and
however much the leading Journals OF
the east may claim that bimetallism is
a dead issue, there never has been
time when it was claiming more at
-ntion from the voters of this country
than at the present day"
Mr. Merrill may go east within a day
or two for the purpose Of continuing
the work I'M Colorado and the middle
western states.

think that the stockholders of the COM
pany would ever again be called upon
to pay another assessment on their
stock
1t is claimed that the recent strike
in the Mammoth mine, in the Tintio
district, is much richer than at first re-
ported, and that it is almost on par
with that made in this mine a few
years ago when the property was in its
palmy days and dividends were
/ large and regular.
P. p. Bush, general manager of the
Canton Steel company, of Canton, O.,
was in the city yesterday. Mr.. Bush
has been making tour of the mining
districts Of Utah in the interests of his
company, and reports that he found
/ them in a most flourishing condition.

many friends here.

The Red Jacket claim, located in
Camp Floyd mining district, between
the Mercur and Sunshine mines, was
yesterday purchased by Jack Bolton
from w. NJ. Shaw, the consideration
being $1,000. Mr.. Bolton purchased the
claim as a Christmas present for his

The Bingham Copper company will
ship a carload of ore next Monday,
which will be followed by other ship
!nents during the week. The shipment
is valued at 5000. This ore is the first

erty in the Park City ore zone, came

of this satisfactory condition of affairs.
Colonel Nick Treweek returned yes
Custer City, Idaho. He reports that
the property is making a steady and
regular shipment of bullion, and that

j. R. Riley, of Goshen, has struck
ore in the foothills in that locality.
The ore in an iron stained quartz,

opinion that his new find is on the same

troverts the theories OF many mining
raen who maintained that tine ore zone
did not extend to the foothills of Go

SEGREGATED GOLD MINING co.
All is Now Plain Sailing For It.

There has been considerable street
rumors of late to the effect that trouble
was brewing among the incorporators
OF the Segregated Gold Mining and
Milling company, but we are informed
on reliable authority that the bone of
dlscord that threatened to land the
company into expensive litigation had
been thrown to the dogs, and that now
all was amity and good will in the
camp of the Segregated company,
Which is no longer disconnected and
dlsjointed, as its name would imply.
This settlement of a slight disagree
ment was arrived at yesterday and it
is the intention of the company to be-
gin development work on its valuable
property, which is located only one
mile west of the Mercur mine, in Camp
Floyd district. Ore taken from the
property has run in values as high as
Sl4 in gold and the outlook is most as
