FOUND ARsEN1cAL ORE.
Great Excitement in Mercur Over a
Discovery in the Eagle.


Especial to The Heraldl
MERCUR, Feb. 10.-Great excite
ment prevails in Mercur today over
the discovery of arsenical ore in the
Eagle mine, as it proves the continuity
of the zone of rich ore from the mines
of Mercur to this property
The Eagle shaft is now down go feet,
and for some time the men employed
in the mine have been sinking in oxt-
died ore that gave good promise for
the future of this property; but yester-
day this grade of rock gave way to
a body of arsenical ore. which, from
all appearances, is identical to that
found in the Golden Gate mine.
This is one of the most important
discoveries made in the camp of late
as it demonstrates the fact that all
of the intervening ground between
Mercur and the Eagle mine is on the
same belt, and that all that is needed
to transform the different claims with
in the charmed circle into producing
mines is work, and plenty of it.
George L. Korner, one Of the Eagle
company, was on the ground when the
discovery was made. and to say that
he is greatly elated is putting it mild
Work is being pushed on the property
and already the new ore body has been
sunk upon for some distance.
Manager P j. Quealey of the Old
Grover group. recently a, portion of the
Cannon property, began work yeSter-
day sinking a shaft on the Mary b.
lode, one of the claims composed in
the group. Mr.. Quealey. who recently
explored the underground workings of
the Golden Gate is free to say that it
is the greatest mine in the United
States, and as the Old Grover group
adjoins this property, he is sangufne
that success will crown his efforts and
that of his associates.
Work is being pushed on the East
Golden Gate, and from all appear
ances THE company means business,
for preparations are being made for
the erection of a substantial hoist, and
the engine and boilers will be the best
yet brought into this camp The
double compartment shaft on this pro-
perty is even now in good ground, and
under the direction Of two such mining
men as G. H. Robinson and George
Kislingsbury it is but question of
time before the property will be trans
formed into producing mine.
The Gold Dust is also showing up well.
and already good values have been
obtained. 1t is the intention, however.
to sink until the main ore BODY is
reached. and While not much is being
said regarding this property, the com
pany is saving wood" and attending
strictly to business.
Mercur and the whole district is
booming and our streets are filed with
strangers.

that everyone interested in the welfare

literally toward defraying the expenses
contingent thereto.

THE "OLD RELIABLE
One of the Greatest Producing
Camps of the West.

One of the Greatest Producing
Camps of the West.
Judge Barney Quinn of Bingham.
who is in the city on business, saws
that in his opinion Bingham is one of
the greatest mining camps in the
west; and to prove his assertion he
states that he can count one hundred
mines in that camp that are now pro-
ducing or are on the list as producing
mines, and he wants to know what
camp can beat this?"
At the present time Bingham is fur
nishing three-fourths of the lead pro-
duced in the west, and her great mines
seem inexhauStfble. while her leading
mines, such as the Old Jordan and
South Galena, the Dalton and Lark,
the Lead mine, the Phoenix, the Yo-
semitic No. l and dozen other pro-
ducerS are daily sending out a stream
of wealth.
In the Phoenix mine, with which the
Coromandel was recently consolidated
a body of high grade ore has recently
been uncovered. which Judge Quinn
says is the largest body of ore ever
exhibited in West Mountain mining
district, and that there are millions in
sight in this NINE
In Markham gulch a fine body Of
high grade ore has been opened up in
the Erie mine, in which Messrs. Groes-
beck and Raybould are interested, and
in the same locality number of fine
discoveries have been made of late.
While mining has been carried on in
Bingham for many years. but little
depth, comparatively, has been OBJ
tanned on account of an over surplus
of water; but this water problem is
now being solved ibV running IOno Inn
nels, which drain the mines at great
depth. One tunnel Cthe ButterfelO is
already in distance of $500 feet. the
face being at vertical depth of 1900
feet. and in its construction fine ore
bodies have been cut, which proves
without a question of doubt the per-
manence and continuity of the ore
bearing zone of the district Two
