Manager Dern's office was besieged
all day yesterday by interested par
ties who were eager TO learn what
Captain De Lamar was going to do
about his option on the Mercur pro-
perry. but to all his reply was that
nothing definite could be given out
concerning it until today, when some
definite steps would be taken in the
matter
The reason Of this uncertainty was
caused by the receipt of telegram
from Captain De Lamar stating that
q letter was in transit containing a
proposition which he wished the Mer-
cur company 10 consider before they
declared the deal off. and it is this
letter. whose receipts is expected this
morning, on which hangs the burden
OF this unexpected delay.
9Ir. Dern informed a Herald repre-
sentative last night that the letter
would contain a proposition that
might, or might not. be accepted. but
as to the original option, no further
time would be granted. He also stated
that a meeting of the stockholders of
NtAE a1ElNhA kDAAlDd1ig Was uGlQ y tSltl
day. but that an adjournment had
been taken until the Goth; also that the
directors would meet on the 10th and
declare the usual monthly dividend of
So, 900.
1t is the general belief in this city
that the deal will not be consummated,
and there are not many who would

Snd the property continued under its
present management. which has been
a most successful one from start to
finish. for then a large portion of the
dividend money would remain in
Utah, whereas it otherwise would 90

been so foolish as to say that the
falling through of the deal would give

ments are ridiculous, for the property
still remains with its treasures of I'M
told wealth, and then, there are other
mines in the camp, the peer of the
Mercur, that could not be touched by

POLICE COURT.

Justice Wenger's Time Occupied
With Cases of Minor Importance.
John Smith came down from Ogden,
where he lives. a few days ago, and
got on a jag and new overcoat be-
longing to Salt Laker. He was tried
yesterday in the police court, but as
he is a pater famiIias with an extern
sive posterfty. sentence in his case was
suspended.
Tom and Will James. two urchins
from Denver. of IA and II years, who
recently came here to mend their for
tunes. were tried again before the city
justice yesterday. The two wanderers
slept in house belonging to an old
resident a few days ago, and when
they left the next morning an over
coat. a grip and several wooden shirts
left with them. A complaint was made
at the time but the two wandering
Willies could not be found. 4 day or
two later. however. they were arrested
for trespass on Union Pacific freight
cars. and Immediately after their Trial
in the police court Detective Sheets
picked them up for offering the wear
ing apparel of the old man whose hos
pitality they had enjoyed without per-
mission. When he was stationed in
front of the police Justice yesterday
on this charge. it was discovered that
the older James had no shirt and only
a tattered burlap suit and g. pair Of
muchly perforated shoes protected him
from harsh winter winds. The justice
thought of the homeless and money
less waits he had seen out on the pra-
ries of Kansas. and his heart was
pricked He therefore ordered that the
Denverites be provided with shirts and
suspended sentence.
George Wright engaged in a first
class jag on Tuesday night, and as
result was given five days by the po-
lice justice yesterday.

CAPTAIN DE LAMAR TALKS.

interviewed BY the HeraId's New
York Representative.
The Herald's correspor dent in New
York found Captain De lamar in that
city yesterday. and when asked for a
statement regarding the status of the
Mercur deal. the captain said:
Il asked for an extension of
time on my bond on the
Mercur mine when President
Dern was here. I did so because
events have unsettled by calculations.
When / took the bond, the South
African gold fields were booming and
much capital was seeking investment
IN gold mines. Soon after the South
African fields went all wrong. and
then came the Venezuelan DISPUTE
Cleveland's bond call, and the German
war scare All these things have IN
settled financial affairs. Much money
had been subscribed. but men want
30 wait until financial matters become
settled. They say to me that they
would not touch such a proposition
now, if il was three times as good
however. If the Mercur company viii
give me time when financial affairs do
settle. I am confident I can raise all
the money necessary. .consider. the
proposition which l have secured a
good one. I have much faith in the
future Of Mercur. My superintendent
is here and we are making arrange
ments to put up a two hundred ion

IN FRoI THE BLUE MOUNTAINS.
Good Gold Properties Found in
San juan CO...

Oooh cold properties round In
San Juan CoE5k.
Lester Taylor, OF Pas arrived in
the city yesterday. Mr.. 4zSlor is large
" interested in mining in the Blue
mountains. San Juan county, where he
has group of six claims. called the
Viking group. from which he expects
at an early day to make a stake, his
visit here being to negotiate for a FIVE
stamp mill. which will be erected on
the property in the spring.
Mr.. Taylor has developed his prop
erty by means of a forty-foot shaft, in
the bottom of which he has a fine
body of ore that averages $50 in gold
to the ton. and some of it goes as high
as $500. He has four men at work on
the property. and as his supplies and
provisions are all in for the winter,
will continue steady development
work and ore extraction until he can
get his stamp mill in opera ton.
From the showing already made
Mr.. TAYLOR feels sure of success, espec-
tally as the ore is in a solid body, the
vein being a contact between porphyry
and lime. and as water, timber and
coal are very plentiful in that locality.
According tc Mr.. Taylor, there are
many other fine propositions in the
Blue mountains. and prospectors and
investors are already beginning to set
their stakes there and he predicts that
as soon as the mineral worth of that
region becomes more generally known,
the mountains will throng with men
eager to uncover the wealth locked up
in natures treasure vaults.
Messrs. Haywood and SlSews, of this
city. are heavily interested in the Blue
mountains. and Mr.. Skews is now in
the city for the express purpose of or
dering a mill for their property, which
is said to contain large bodies Of high
grade ore
The mines in the Blue mountains are
sixty miles from the railroad.

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
Stocks Lively and Kidding Brfsl

Stocks Lively and Bidding Brisk.
Caller Colborn. in opening the ex-
change yesterday morning, announced
that a ruling had been made that here
after the member making an Offering
of stock a a certain figure was en-
titled to the first sale made during the
call at that figure. which ruling. being
a fair one. met with the appreciation
Of The members present.
Alliance was an active stock during
the Oa.I ana maze a QuIch SAFE al yes
terdaY's lowest offering, While Mercur
was considerably depressed, and quite
block OF stock changed hands, but il
is safe to say that in view of the news
given in these column this morning.
that these will be the last sales of this
stock at these figures, and further
more it is not likely that Sunshine
viii ever again be sold as low as at
yesterdays quotations.
Little Pittsburg was again a favor
tie yesterday and a good many shares
changed hands at the regulation price,
while Dalton. for some reason, dropped
several points in the bidding and offer
ings. The East Golden Gate was very
active in the bidding. and quite an
advance was made over yesterdays
quotations. with no sales.
After the call business meeting
ing was held, presided over by Presi
dent Donnellan, during which a mo-
ton was made by r. W. Sloan that
the cali of unlisted stocks be discon-
tinued one week from date, if, within
that time. the unlisted stock so called
was not regularly listed upon the
board Of the exchange.
Mr.. c. 3. Allen moved to amend by
including in the motion the listed
stocks that had not paid the listing fee
by that time
The president ruled that the amend
ment was out of order, and put the
original motion. which was lost by an
overwhelming majority.
1t was then announced that the gov
erning board of the exchange would
meet at pm. and the meeting adj
iourned.
The business transacted during the
call was as follows:

Thing He Ever Saw.
Mr.. ]. E. swartz arrived in the city
yesterday morning and will remain
here a few days looking after his
varied interests in this locality.
Mr. Swartz figures quite prominently
in several large enterprises in this
western country. being president of
the PENNSYLVANIA Smelling company.
the Pennsylvania Refining company
and of the Sunshine Mining company;
besides he has manv investments scat
tered all over the Pacific slope.
To him the showing made by the
Sunshine is very gratifying. and when
questioned regarding Camp Floyd min
ing district. saws that it is the biggest
thing he ever saw. and there is
no one who is acquainted with
MI. Swartz but that believes he
knows a good thing when he sees it.
It is a good thing for any camp to
have such men as Mr.. Swartz identi-
fed with it and it is a pleasure TO
know that the district comes up to his
most sanguine expectations and even
goes beyond them.

Much has been said regarding the
delayed cleanup at the Sunshine mill,
but it is not generally known that the
initial cleanup was made the last
week in December and the cyanldes
shipped east to the refiners. 1t is un-

the cleanup was more than satisfac-

that another cleanup will be made

have recently visited the mine are loud

they saw in this magnificent properly.

THE MANGANESE MINES.
A Visit to the Mac MiIlian, Goodrich
 & Wheaton Mining Camp.

Upon invitation extended by MT. Geo. E. Wheaton, representative of the Star accompanied that gentleman to the manganese mines being operated by him few miles south of our city, last Monday.
 We arrived at the camp just in time to partake of substantial dinner, after which the climb up the side of the mountain to the shaft was made. Upon going down the shaft, which at present is about thirty-five feet deep, we found the miners busy hustling ore from short drift that has been started at this level Tie formation in this drift shows the richest kind of manganese and the farther in they work the richer the vein matter grows.
 After coming out of the ground a few minutes was spent in looking at the ore in the dump piles and ore bins. In four seperate piles we found as many different qualities of manganese, each representing a certain depth in the shaft, as the ore has been growing finer in quality as they go down on the vein. This fact is peculiarly sig nificent to the many who have been anxiously watching the progress of this nine as it gives every indication f,tn for sc valuable ore will prove successful.
