date of the sale of the mine to an Eng
fish syndicate in 1871. at which time
the earnings Of the property had been
about $1,000, 900.
The English company then put in an
extensive plant and took out about two
million more, when it encountered a
fault or break in the vein, and since
that day the property has been prac-
tically idle, being occasionally worked
by chloriders in q spasmodic and in
effectual manner, and today this grand
old camp is relic of glorious past,
with every indication that it will at
some day in the near future secure a
new lease of life and once again as
tonish the world with the marvellous
wealth of its mineral deposits, which
are by no means exhausted as yet.
At the time Of the discoyeryo f the
Emma mine, a little prospecting was
going on in what is now Park City,
and Tintic district was virtually un-
known. At this time Louis Simmons,
son-in-law of Kit Carson, was at
work on the Green Monster mine in

DENVER, Colo, July 2.-Senator Henry

will deliver number of speeches in the

said today when asked regarding the
situation at Chicago.
Il believe that the Democratic party
will declare for silver at 16 to 1. The
silver peop.e are too much in earnest to
allow a straddle.
II do not think the gold Democrats will

believe that if the silver forces unite and
there is a genuine silver ticket in the

will succeed this November. Silver is
gaining strength with amazing rapidfty

it will continue to grow from now on 1t

THE GREAT MERcUR MINE.
Uncovered a Large Body of HigI
Grade Quartz Ore.

Uncovered a Large Body of High
Grade Quartz Ore.
George Dern, one of the directors of
the Mercur Mining company, who re-
turned to the city Wednesday night,
brought with him samples of ore from
this magnificent producer which is diff
ferent in character from any vet found
in the mine, being f1inty quartz,
impregnated with cinnibar, that from
two assays made, shows values of $29
and $33 in gold to the ton.
This ore came from the main Ruby
incline-shaft on the Mercur ledge,
which is now down 800 feet on the dip
of the vein, the face being in a solid
body of good grade milling ore
The drift aforementioned was
started at a distance of $50 feet below
the tunnel level and has been driven
thirty feet in southerly direction into
the hill; and the ore encountered and
blocked out is a flinty-quartz, as al
ready indicated, and is free milling
and entirely devoid of any base metals
or deleterious substance.
In the driving of this incline-shaft
and the running of drifts at intervals,
being blocked out, and Mr.. Airs, of
the company, states that in his opinion
he would not be surprised to learn
that the men had uncovered body of
free gold ore in this part of the mine.
The other workings in the Mercur
group are showing UP exceedingly well,
and the mill is giving very satisfactory
returns.
All the mines of Mercur are now
looking better than ever, and it would
be an imposslbihty, almost, to compute
the value of the immense deposits Of
ore now developed and blocked out in
the great producers of this wonderfully
rich carnn.

l14E STOCK EXCHANGE.
The Benefits Derived Through This
ORGANIZATION.

Now that the stock exchange has
taken a. months vacation during the
heated term, it might be well to review
its history in order TO snow more
forcibIy the good this institution has
done the mining industry since its
organization.
In the first place, it would be we'll
to state that prior to the organization
of the exchange there was no official
quotation on mining stocks in this CITY,
and therefore the dealings in this line
of securities were necessarily limited,
and it was difficult to determine the
actual selling price Of nearly all of the
stocks on this market.
With the opening of the exchange,
however, quotations were established,
and whether or not sales were made,
the public were enabled to learn the
comparative value Of the stocks listed,
and could govern themselves according
", something they could not do be-
fore; and more. the exchange brought
buyer and seller together, and the
volume of business was largely in
creased.
One noticeable feature in connection
with the exchange is that it was an
impossibility, almost, to sell mining
stocks in Salt Lake city until ain OF
nclal quotation mao. Deen given tnem
by the board; and these quotations, as
published in the daily papers and cir
culated far and wide, have interested
outside capital N Utah stocks, much
to the advantage of, the mining in
dustry in this state; for stocks, without
the advantage of an official market
would soon prove a damper to our
mining interests. and without this
means of ascertaining the market value
of stocks, interest in mining. and the
purchase of stocks for investment and
speculation would very soon decrease
very materially.
In the mining camps of Utah there
are many who are greatly interested
in the exchange; and yesterday some
Eureka citizens, who are taking in the
carnival, stated that they would. if
necessary, make donatio in order to
keep the board alive.
AS soon as the vacation is over it
is believed that the reopening of the
exchange will be attended with greater
interest and activity than ever, and
that by that time mining men and
brokers will have learned to more fully
q pureci9te IFS usefulness
