The company owns six claims and
from their choice location and show
ing already made, they give promise
of developing equally with their rich
neighbors on the north. The utmost
confidence in the value of these pro-
perties is expressed by the stockhold-
ers. Some treasury stock will be dis
posed of for the purpose of defraying
the expenses of further development
work now in progress and will be sold
at a low price. So far as known, none
of the stock that has been issued is on
the market and it is not anticipated
that any large amount OF the treasury
stock will be offered. The offices of

Reindeer on the north, is under BOND
and lease to George r. Hulburt. of
Ourav. Colorado, who owns third IN
terest in the noted Bachelor mine, ana
Joseph Wilkinson, of Sunshine me

and that at the greatest, the ore will
be found at depth of from $50 to IT'S

GOLD BELT WATER COMPANY.
Laying Additional Mains Now and
Further Extension in Order.

The Gold Belt Water company furn-
ishes Mercur and it's mines with water.
w. S. Mccormick is the president;
Theodore Bruback vice-president; S. p.
Pearson, secretary of the company, and
Colonel Wall is also interested in the
enterprise
The water supply is derived from
springs in the Ophir country, and is
piped up to the summit. A Worthing
ton pump raises it 1850 feet in the
two and one-half miles UP to the sum-
nit, through a four-inch pipe, which
empties it into a $4,000 gallon tank. 1t
is a distance of six and one-half miles
from the summit to Sunshine. From
the summit down to the canyon, it
flows through a four-inch pipe, and
from the canyon up to the divide lead
ing down to Sunshine, a three-inch
pipe carries it, thence down to Sun
shine a two-inch pipe is used. The
two-inch pipe emptieS into a $4,000 gal
Ion tank at the Mercur depot. Through
the town the pipe is a three-inch, with
two-inch laterals. There is another
tank at Glencoe that hold $4,000 gal
Ions
Gravity does the work from the
in the town is about 100 pounds to the
square inch. There are not yet any
fire hydrants set, though the water
company have put in a IT. in many
places in order to attach hydrants
when the time comes. The laying of
the mains was finished on the oath day
of last month. The Sacramento Milling
and Mining company have just finish
ed laying $500 feet of pipe line, rum
ing from the depot south.
A. N. Ashley, who came from Ne
vada, is the superintendent for the
water company, and he is kept busy all
the while in building up the system, as
water is one of the chief factors now
confronting that district.

Malvern Mines,

The Malvern group of ten claims
which adjoins the Sunshine mine on
the south exhibits singularly the faith
that the original owners of the Mer-
cur mine have in the south end of the
camp. In September last John Dern,
E. II. Airs and John Heinrich, of the
Mercur mine, together with ex-Con-
gresham George w. E. Dorsey, of Ne
braska, and the president of the First
National Bank of Columbus. Ne
braska, bought the Malvern, paying for
the same 100000. The deal at the
time involved the biggest price ever
paid for undeveloped property in Camp
Floyd district, and was considered the
more remarkable from the fact that
the group is situated nearly five miles
distant from the Mercur mine The
purchase gave confidence to others in
the Sunshine end of the great camp
and during the past four months there
has been unusual activity there gener-
ally.
The group is not yet incorporated
but the owners have to meet a
monthly payroll of about $1,7OO which
is being expended in developing the
property, and shaft is down now
nearly 100 feet Ore running 50 and
higher in gold per ton has been had
in the shaft and where the vein out
crops along the locations for a dis
lance of 5000 feet, but it is not ex-
pected to reach the vein proper
through the shaft until a depth of
about 200 feet has been reached.
To a property like the Malvern, as in
fact with every property in the dis
trict, a mill is a necessity, and it is a
part of the owners plans to erect a mill
in the spring. Meanwhile develop
ment work will be pushed on the
mine and ore bodies will be blocked
out for STOPPING.

The Mo1Iie Gibson.

The Mollie Gibson group of five
claims. northwest of the Glencoe, is
owned by T. a. Wickersham, j. M
Davis and e. DeGolyer, and is under
bond and lease to DR.. Jones, Dan
DeIano and James Earls, the latter
formerly occupying the position as
SUPERINTENDENT of the great Horn Silver
mine, at Frisco. Work is being pushed
on the Mollie Gibson by night and
day shift. The shaft is down sixty
five feet and some vein matter has
been disclosed, but this is above the
ledge that is being sought, yet it is
believed that the ore body will now be
tapped within a few feet.

The Moonstone Group.

The Moonstone group is owned by
Timothy Moriarity, Alfred Anderson
and C. C. Higgins, but is held under
bond by Pete Shay and partner, the
consideration of the bond being $4,000.
The Moonstone is located mile and a
half southwest of Mercur in the foot
hills just east of the Glencoe. Consid-
cradle surface work has been done on
this property and a vein uncovered
from which assays of $3.50 IN gold to
the ton have BEEN obtained. Under the
terms of the bond work is to be prose
cuted on this group eleven months dur
ing the year.

The Utica Group.

Frank Jardine, J. B. Mighton and
others have recently incorporated a
company for the development of this
property, which is also located in tine
western foothills and the extent of the
company'S holdings there has been i'm
creased by the purchase from c. G..
Higgins of seven adjoining claims. The
Utica joins the Gold Dust on the east,
and the twenty eight-foot shaft is in
good-looking stuff. Two shifts are en-
ployed in development work, and the
outlook is favorable. Judge J. M. Bow
man, of this city, is secretary of the

THE SILVER LODE GROUP.
An Old Silver Producer TRANSFORMS
ed Into a Gold Mine.

ed Into a Gold Mine.
This group consists of six claims,
namely: The Little Joint, Silver Bell,
Jennie Sherman, Dump No. /, Dump
No. ., and Tammany. Part of these
claims cover the old claims of the
Mormon Chief. Mormon Chief Exten-
sion, Grecian Bend and Grecian Bend
Extension, which We're heavy produc-
ers of silver in the palmy days of
Lewiston NOW Mercur) twenty years
ago. Silver groupings extend the en-
tire length of these claims. Hudson
Smith, the owner of this group. is one
of the pioneers of Mercur district, hav-
ing located these claims in the fall Of
1891, and worked them for silver until
the summer of 1892. But on account
of the low price of the white metal he
turned his attention to the develop
.sment of the gold vein which was
known to exist there. Considerab bic
work has been done and in every cut,
tunnel and shaft, the ore body has
been discovered. A great many
samples have been assayed the high
est being $5S. AT present Mr.. Smith
is sinking shaft, which he intends to
sink until the footwan is reached.
The shaft is now down forty feet and
in ore thirty-eight feet, having en-
cOunIereO the ore TWO 1eeL from the
surface. If the theory Of experienced
experts is corerct. that the gold vein
lies above the silver vein,' and the
development OF these claims would
seem to corroborate this theory, then
Mr.. Smith is the owner of one of the
most promising group Of claims in the
Mercur belt. The group. situated in
the heart of the gold belt, is
bounded on the north by the Gold
Dust mines and on the south by the
town of Mercur and the famous Mer-
cur mine. One of these claims, the
Tammany. is a part of the Mercur
townsite and when the town is in
corporated will be called plat B.
Mr.. Smith has recently been offered
$4,000 cash for his property, but he
would not accept, as he thinks it is
worth several times that amount from
the showing of the ore taken from the
shaft he is now sinking, and he is
thinking of Incorporating about the
first of the year, and of placing enough
of the treasury stock on the market to
build a mill with a capacity of treating
100 tons Of ore per day.

THE GOLD POINT GROUP.
A Leading Property in Well Cam
yOn Showing S12 Ore.

Among the promising properties in
Well canyon. about 1900 feet east of
the Sunshine mine. the Gold Point
group is worthy of special mention.
A company was recently formed by
James Chapman. S. L. Chapman, w.
D. Grant, John A. Woote,l ]. NJ
Stout and A. B. Jones for the develop
ment of this property, which has al
ready made a magnificent showing. A
60-foot tunnel has been driven on the
Gold Point. the face of which shows
ore in front above and below, which
is said to average S12 in gold to the
ton. 1t is more than probable that
the company will build mill in the
spring for the treatment of it's ore.
