AS work progresses in the develop
: ment of the mining claims of Camp
Floyd district, the more evident it be-
comes that "Afercur is all right"
This exclamation can be heard daily
1 in the Hobbies of the hotels of Salt
Lake; in the streets and in the club
rooms; and as the days and weeks go
by, and new and important strikes are
made, the expression gains strength
and volume at every hand.
The discovery Of ore in the Gold Dust,
was. until a day or two ago, the latest
find of Importance in the camp on the
Mercur side Of the hill; now, however,
a more recent discovery is the talk of
the district, and also in mining circles
in this city, and this is the breaking
inlo the ore body in the Hecla shaft.
The Hecla shaft is now down a dis
lance of 42O to 425 feet, and at this
depth it is believed that the ore zone
OF the camp has at last been uncovered.
The strike was made last Sunday,
and while the ore body proper has not
yst been broken into, or had not last
Sunday; still everything indicates that
the soft lime. in its changed and I'M
mineralized condition, is nothing less
than the Gaping of the great gold belt
that underlies the camp Of Mercur.
The samples of mineral brought in
from the Hecla Sunday night were Of
such a character as TO confirm the be-
lief that this property was now in ore,
as the assays gave values of so cents
in gold to the ton, and ii is more than
probable, as the ground is very soft,
that by this time the workings are
in a good body Of pay ore.
The strike in the Hecia is of i'm
mense Importance to Mercur, as it
proves the continuation of the ore zone
in that direction. II viii also be of
value in the case Of the Seals; as, if
the Hecla has ore, the Seals will also
get il; and also the East Golden Gate,
which, from ali indications. as demon
strated by actual developments SO far
made in other properties, is squarely on
lode on its dip.
It will also help in the development
Of the Wonder. which is now almost
down to the ore.
Mercur has a bright and wonderful
future before ii: and the men who are
anouting. .MeTcur is all right" know
what they are talking about.

The SHELTERS That Intend Remain
ing in the Field.

ing in the Field.
The closing Of the Pennsylvania
smelter, or the order to close, is caus-
/ ing a. great deal of comment in min
/ ing and business circles in this city
and adjacent camps, especially so on
! account Of the phraseology of the let
/ ter containing the order. and which
was posted at the smelter so that all
Of the smelter hands could read it.
1t is claimed by many that this letter
is nothing more or less than an in
genius campaign document; and if this
is the case, it will probably cause an
opposite effect on the discharged work
men than that intended. In fact, it
will act as a boomerang, if it was writ
ten with any such intention.
As the matter now stands, the other
smelling men Of the city are laughing
in their sleeves over the order, and are
free to confess that there is no ground
or occasion for discourse on the po-
litical situation of the day, from a gold
bug and sound money standpoint,
when ordering the superintendent of a.
smelling plant to close down the works,
when the simple order to shut down"
would have been sufficient, as there is
no reason to suppose that the Superin-
tendent cares a fig for an explanation
of why the order was given; and as
for the men employed, it was an in
suit to their intelligence to post an
order of this character with the inten-
ton that they should read and weigh
it, and possibly, govern their political
actions by it.
The other smelters, however. are still
in the market for silver-lead ores.
The Germania is buying right along,
and is on the market for all classes Of
ores, and it wants this fact circulated
in all of our mining camps.
The Hanauer is also buying silver
lead ores freely, and as soon as the
smelter starts Up again, which will be
in about a week, it will buy still
heavier; and with its new rooster in
full blast, this plant will be able to
handle more ores than ever.
The Consolidated Kansas City Smelt-
ing and Refining company is still in
the field, ard it's agent here, Major
J. E. Jackson, says that nothing can
close down the plant unless it be a
prolongation Of the Leadville strike.
AS for political scares and similar
balderdash, Mr.. Jackson says that his
company will never close down until
hades freezes over.
The smelters, all of them, buy and
sell on the same quotations. They
rely on the mining industry for their
support, and feel that all of their in
terests are identical and that they are
held to the producer by a common
bond: as. whichever way the tide may
turn. they must all go together.
1t is believed, however, that this
squeeze in the metal market. which is
intended by goldbugs to serve as an
object lesson to the silver men of the
west, will fail of its purpose, and that
ere long there will be. a gradual raise
in metal quotations.

MINING, BUSINESS AND STOCKS

and which already has yielded good re-
turns on the money invested.
The mine, according to Judge Dixon,
is showing up fine bodies of ore in the
workings, carrying values of $50 to $50
to the ton in gold, while there are
streaks in the ledge, varying from
three to seven inches in width, which
will assay from $500 TO $500 TO the ton
in the yellow metal.
Already tie company has a large
tonnage of ore on the dump, which will
be treated by Kincaid mills as soon as
they can be placed III position and
fairly started.
The tailings from the old mill. 5000
tons, which carry average values of
SIS in gold to the ton, are being worked
by the cyanide process at saving of
$40 a ton net. ard the treating charges
do not exceed $1.25 a ton. The cyanide
plant has a capacity Of fifty tons daily,
and from this old dump of tailings
alone the company will realize a for
tune.
c. NJ. Fuller, the well-known mill
man, has charge of the cyanide plant
and the Kincaid mills, and in his
efforts in this direction he is giving
good satisfaction.
Hon. H. E. Booth, who went up to
the Dexter with Judge. Dixon, is ex-
pected home today.

SPRINGvILLE. Aug. S1.-Consider-
able excitement was created here to-
day when the information came out
that a big hurley tramp had invited d,
small boy near the depot into a. lot
nearby and forcibIy committed brutal
crime. The boys name is Tommy
Watts, and he is fortunately uninjured,
but the indignant widowed mother was
almost frantic as she invoked the aid
OF Marshal Storrs. who has arrested
every hobo within range, but SO far the
miscreant has escaped. He is described
as about feet inches tall, sandy
complexion, heavy moustache and
stubby beard, wearing blue overalls
and grey coat and vest. If he is seen
anywhere, Marshal SEorrs would like
to have him captured or information
furnished Of his whereabouts.

At Rich1eIa.

RICHFIELD, Aug. 31.-This. morning
the teachers who have stayed during
the sessions of the Presbytery and the
pastors are leaving on the train.
There was brief session this morning
and the reports of the board Of trustees
and Of the committee on evangeiistfc
work were heard The board had done
no business but the committee recon-
mended that evangelistic work be ex-
tended as far as possible in the near
future.
Yesterday forenoon was occupied by
DIR. r. S. McNiece whose sermon was
entitled 1.-The joy of the redeemed in
heaven" His text was from Revela-
tons IA: is. The rejoicing who were
there mentioned could not be angels
but must be mOrtals who had lived a.
good life and knew the joy of well-do-
ing. He then dwelt upon what this
rejoicing would be and of the future
of the soul
The afternoon was occupied by the
local Sunday school.
The evening sermon was by Rev. s.
e. Wishard, D. D. He spoke in answer
to a statement of Elder B. II. Roberts
that the Church of Christ became alb
solutely extinct about 300 years after
Christ's death and was not on earth
till revealed to Joseph Smith. He
maintained that Christ spoke Of the
church in manner to kldicate that
he knew it would never be extinct, and
that the "gates of hell should not pre-
vail against it." But this was the in
visible church and consisted of all true
believers from every sect. The true
church was not any sect or any
organization but was the pure in heart
and they had lived and been burned at
Smithfield, when the organization had
become wicked and the bride of Christ
lived only among a worthy few" He
then went on to show that the Church
of Christ had never been extinct from
Adam till this day though at times
maintained by only a few.

TrErE CArsE OF HIS DEATH.

VIENNA, Aug. S1-The following par
ticulars of the death of Prince Lebanoff
Rostoysl1y, Russian minister of foreign
affairs, who died suddenly yesterday, are
obtained While Prince lebanon was here
he several times complained of feeling i'll,
and while paying a visit to Count Nigra,
After recovering, Prince Lebanon said he
had suffered for some time with arteries
kleroses. 1t was his desire as soon as
possible to go to Dresden for the purpose
of trying the massage treatment. He
started without delay. but was overcome
while on the imperial railway train. and
died as the train reached Kasatin.

the mine developments had to be resumed

the mine developments had to be resumed
in virgin ground
The new company, Incorporated last
spring, began work on this plan, and
sank ninety foot shaft with but poor
results. Later on work was resumed in an
old ten-foot shaft, and at depth of six
teen feet a fine body of mineral was I'M
covered, and at twenty feet the ledge had
widened 10 about three feet, and from
this point in the workings Mr. Colborn
took samples that assayed as follows:
No. ten per cent. lead, 67 ounces sill
yer and SO cents in gold.
No. 2-1.6 per cent. lead, 30 ounces sill
yer and So cents in gold.
Before leaving the mine Mr.. Colborn di-
rected the men to begin work in the nine
ty-foot shaft and to drift from the bot
tom so as to get under the ore body ex-
posed in the new workings, and il is ex-
pected that connections will be made
within sixteen or twenty feet, which viii
give a seventy-foot ore body to stope on,
and there is every reason to believe that
the ore bodies will increase in value with
depth.
The officers of the company are elated
over the new discovery, as well they may
be. as it means that this property can
soon be listed as a steady producer.
