to convert Meqcur to Bryan-they
were converted long ago.
The Geyser is running a tramway
south from the mill to connect with a
large body Of ore that assays about
$500 per ton. When this is completed
the company will be in a condition to
furnish a hundred tons more of ore
per day. AS g. new boiler and eight
new tanks have been ordered, work in
enlarging the present mill-which has
a capacity of sixty tons per day-wiu
be commenced at an early date. The
new mill will be capable of handling
a hundred tons per day.
The city council has decided to post
pone the question of increasing the
supply of fire hydrants, on account of
the slim condition of the treasury.
Mr.. Black, the contractor who is to
put in the electric light plant from
Ophir to Mercur, reports that the work
is going along smoothly and will be
completed in ten days. The Golden
Gate mine will be lighted up and the
business houses of the town will be
illuminated by the electric fluid.

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-A Sun special
from Union, S. c., says:
AT the campaign meeting here yes
teTday a personal encounter between
Governor John Gary Evans and John
e. Duncan, candidates for the United
Skates Senate was only prevented by
Sheriff Long of this county, stepping
between them.
Duncan was making an attack ON
Evans record, asserting that he got
$4,000 in deal by which the state
bonds were refunded and also trying
to duplicate him in the receiving of
rebates ON the whisky purchased for
the dispensary. Evans remarked to
a byshander that Duncan could not
tell the truth. Duncan sprang toward
him and had gotten within striking
distance when the sheriff showed him
back. Duncan then charged Evans
with taking ddspensary constables
around at the states expense to pro-
tect his cowardly bones
He also dared Evans to sign state
ment denying that he told Liquor Com
missioner Nixon that Tillman had lin
ed his pockets with dispensary re-
bates.

Mulvey, O'Meara and LIE Prohon wers
not at the council meeting last even
ing. and the same adjourned after a
session which lasted exactly one hour.
The absence of the trio alluded to may
or may not have had anything TO do
with the short session, but the state
ment above is a fact.
1t was not a session like the average
meeting-oh, no. 1t appeared as though
every man wanted to get away as
soon as he could. Although the ice
water cooler was loaded with lemon
ade-genuine lemonade-there seemed
to be no attraction there, and business
was rushed. The recorder read every
thing that came before him with
wild rush, and the chair put the queS-
tons so fast that no one had a chance
to amend.
The Dooly block, by Richard Mack
intosh, asked that the interest ON the
paving between First West and WeSt
Temple on Second South be remttted
until such time as the street is paved.
1t will be remember that the city
treasurer a few days ago decided that
he would issue notices to aid deliTl-
quents and did so. The Dooly block
received a missive and hence this COM
municetion, which was referred to the
committee ON streets.
Peter LoudeEsock asked permission
to lay a water pipe to connect with the
water mains on Halle and Eighth
West, which was referred to the COM
mittee on water works.
D. Douglas Wallace. superintendent
of st. Marks, asked permission to
connect with the sewer, which was
referred to the committee on sewers.
Sam ]. Kenyon appeared before the
council, and was given the floor to
explain about the cesspools in the vi
cinity Of the Grand Pacific hotel. Mr..
Kenyon declared that it was the inten-
ton of the management to clean up
and change the course Of the offal from
the hotel and that workmen would
start today. He thought the work would
be completed in about ten days. On
motion Of Mr.. Buckle the owners were
permitted to connect with the sewer at
their own cost.
The recorder notified the council thaG
the notice of intention to connect Flo
raj avenue with the mains at the corner
of Third South was completed, and
an objection being raised that this was
a. private street, the matter was re-
ferTed to the city attorney.
The city engineer reported that the
net expense of his office for the past
month was 1885, of which same was re-
ceived and filed.
On report of the sewer committee the
board of public works was instructed
to advertise for bids for the bitches
on the sewer farm. The report was
adopted.
The city engineer was authorized to
construct a flushing tank at First
South and Tenth East, the work to be
paid for not before the 1st of Novem-
Der.
The sewer on the north bench, mem
toned in this paper. will be built. The
recorder announced that the total
frontage was II, $50 feet, and that only
3,515 feet had protested, while it re-
quired 1855 to defeat The notice Of
intention was ordered recorded, and
the recorder instructed TO advertise in
the usual way.
Aliens ordinance confirming the as
sessment for paving on Second South,
between West Temple and First West,
was passed ON a suspension of the
rules, and then tine council adjourned

New York, Aug. 1.-THE total sales
of stocks today were 24O,SS4 shares.
The stock market showed an improv-
ing tendency, the result of easier
rates for money and a. further decline
in the posted rates of sterling ex-
change of Zee, 4.S71a@4SS12. Gables
from London received before the open
ing showed a slight advance in Ameri-
can securities there. This stimulated
Louisville & Nashville and st. Paul,
and a higher range of values immedi-
ately followed. The rising tendency
was checked by the announcement of
the closing of the Murray Hill bank, a
small institution working under a state
charter up town. The bears assumed
active operations when this was an
nounced, and under the fairly liberal
offerings the active stocks yielded any
where from Y to % per cent. In this
decline Northwestern suffered the
heaviest loss, the stock having been
sold ON rumors of a probable reduc-
ton in the dividend rate. In the af-
ternoon when money dropped to 31a on
heavy offerings by brokers represent
ing the leading bankers and capital
lists, the traders concluded that the
bank failure referred to would have
but little influence, and started in to
cover. The purchases for this source
were sufficient to bring about an ad-
vance of AQA per cent by the general
market. Buyers found the supply of
stock limited and this added to their
anxiety. Northwestern bounded UP

gar, 3% to 1908; Tobacco, 8 to 30; Con-
solidated Gas, 81 to 1887; Manhattan,

Topeka, Aug. 1.-While the Re
publican convention was called to or

ceeded to business, the committee not

intervening time was occupied with
speechmaking, among those who ad-
dressed the convention being ex-Sena-
tor ingalls,.
The resolution submitted and adopt
ed endorsed Mckinley and Hobart and
the national platform, and disposed of
the money question in the following
additional resolutions:
Republicans of Kansas believe in

yer and paper in the largest measure
consistent with the maintenance of
equal debt paying and purchasing
power of all our money.
1--WE are opposed to the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver at the ratio of
is to 1 by this country alone, because
it means silver recommendation, a de-
based currency, and the destruction Of
our national credit"
The nomination Of a candidate for
chief justice was next in order and
the names of four aspirants for the po-
sition were presented to the conven-
ton. The first ballot resulted as fol-
lows: Dave Martin (the present in

MERCUR MINING NEWS.
Miners of the Camp VIII Not Engage
to Go to LendviIIe.


MERCUR, Utah, Aug. 11.-Mr. C. F.
Black has just completed a contract
for c. L. Mckay on the Scribner and
another contract for a still further
search for the precious metals will be
let in few days.
a man by the name of C. c. Per-
rims has been in Mercur a few days
trying to hire miners to work in the
mines at Leadville, He offers SO per
day and free transportation, but as
many of the miners think he is hiring
men to fill the places of the strikers,
they are a little backward in accept
ing the proposal. He has hired no
men here so far, and left Mercur for
Tintic, where he hopes to have better
luck.
Today is pay day at the Mercur and
some of the miners are celebrating in
the usual style.
One of the standing questions here is,
when will the Golden Gate build
their mill?' There is no question that
the mill will be built in a short time
in fact, the word to break ground is
expected at any time--but all Of Mer-
ours hopes are not conferred on the
Golden Gate. With such mines as the
Mercur. Sacramento, Geyser, Marion
and Backyard the camp is bound to be
great.
The Hecla has been retimbering its
shaft, and having now completed that
business, will commence sinking
again in a few days.

That Beats the Record.

A Discovery of the Yellow Metal
That Beats the Record.
If it were not that the following in
formation comes from a thoroughly
reliable o1rce The Herald scribe
would regard tine STORY as a. gauzy
fairy tale, or that Aladdin's lamp, of
oriental fame, had been discovered and
its virtues tested in America at this
late day; but facts are more strange
than fiction, and therefore the follow
ing tale is given publicity:
A few days ago The Herald repub-
lished an account stating that in the
De Lamar mine, at De Lamar, Lincoln
county, Nevada, a big bar or nugget
of pure gold had been found in the I'M
foreground workings OF the property,
and that an effort was being made to
extract this block of gold in its entire
ty. AS far as exposed it was eStinlat-
ed that this nugget of the precious
metal was worth about 100000 Since
then it has been learned from a, miner
who has come in from De Lamar that
when he left the boulder of gold had
been uncovered g. distance of fourteen
and a half feet, and that the end had
not then been reached.
In order TO get it out whole it was
necessary TO enlarge the tunnel around
it, and to dig under it, and it is esti-
mated that 1T wild take a week or
more yet before it can be successful
Iy unearfhed, and, judging from all
] indications, the nugget is liable TO run
a million in value.
This mine is owned by Captain j.
r. De Lamar, who is also the owner
of the great Golden Gate mine at Mer-
cur The De Lamar mine is making
am output of $4,000 per month, and if
many more Aof these magnificent mug
gets of gold are encountered, it will
pay ten times this amount in the fu-
! ture.
In speaking of this magnificent
strike, an old and well known miner
/ informs The Herald that several years
4 ago at Butte, Mont, a great boulder
of pure silver and copper ore was tax
en- from the Green Mountain Boy mine
embraced in the Wake-Up-Jim group,
to remove which from the mine twelve
horses were employed.
If many gold strikes are recorded
such as has been made in the De La
mar mine, there may be some occasion
/ for the demonstration of gold ON the
/ ground that it is produced too cheaply.

prices did not respond to the interpre-
.atien. The fact of the matter was
the report had been fully if not more
than discounted The tips and point
ers'' on the condition of both winter

look for even more of a falling off than
was really given, and for that reason
wheat was for sale rather than in de-
marld when the market opened this
morning, values receding under the
pressure of offerings. Receipts at Chi
cage were 2S1 cars, and 1918 bushels
were taken from store. The northwest
