MERcUR PROPERTY BONDED.
The East Golden Gate Tied Up on a
Bond by Captain J. ID. Black.

1t has been generally known for some
time in mining circles in this city that
a deal was pending in which the future
of the East Golden Gate mine, at Mer-
cur. was involved, but it was not de-
finitely known until yesterday, and then
to very few, that Captain J. B. Black
of this city had secured a bond on the
control of this property.
The details of this transaction were
wound UP yesterday and it is now
understood that the management of the
affairs of the company has been fully
vested in Captain Black who will leave
for the mine this morning, his intention
being TO push work in the development
of the properly.
According to the captain, the syndi-
cate that is backing him in this enter
prise is fully satisfied that the East
Golden Gate is the making of a paying
and productive mine, and he has been
instructed that in the event of a fail
ure to find ore in the drill-hole now be-
sunk to the 1,300-foot level, TO sink still
deeper, and also develop the property
in other ways.
Further than this Captain Black re-
fused to be interviewed, but ne gave
his sanction to the publication of the
following circular letter, which was
sent out to the stockholders Of the COM
pany last night:

THE CYANIDE PROCESS PATENT.
Not Sure That 1t Will Be Knocked
Out in This Country.

Out in This Country.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE Sun says:
The persons who represent the Mac
Arthur Forrest patents for extracting
gold from ores by the use of cyanide
of potassium are not so sure that they
have met with a serious defeat in the
legal battle before the high court of
Justice in the South African republic,
as are those who represent the oppos-
ing interests. Walter D. Edmunds,
who represents the patentee companies
in this country, said yesterday that IL
was altogether too early for anyone TO
assert that the persons using the pro
cess throughout the other parts OF the
world would now refuse to pay royal
ties and fight the patents instead.
I'm the first place" he said, 1t is
not yet known in this country upon
what grounds the Transvaal court has
invalidated the patents. 1t should be
borne in mind, also, that the Trans
vail patents, as well as all other 1or-
eign patents granted to Macarthur and
Forrest for those processes. were er-
roneously drawn so as to claim broadly
the use of every cyanide solution for
the extraction of gold. This claim,
doubtless too broad, has proved the
stumbling block of these patents. 1t
uoes not appear in the American pat
ent, which is carefully limited to cover
the use of dilute solution or cyanlde
for the purpose mentioned.
THE Australian patents We're not
overthrown upon their merits, but were
declared void under the law because
no work had been done under them IN
that country within three years OF the
time they were granted.
TT is. of course, true that no decision
rendered upon patent rendered in one
country can affect the validity of a
patent granted here under our laws.
1t is known, however that evidence
was gathered here showing not only
that the fact was known that cyanide
of potassium would dissolve gold, but
also that a dilute solution Of the eva
hide would answer the purposes. Just
how this would affect the trial Of an
infringement suit here, or how far the
Transvaal decision would be used by
our judges, no one can tell until the

THE MINING EXCHANGE.
Mercur Continues to Advnnce-Grad-
uaI Rise In Silver Stocks.


uaI Rise In Silver Stocks.
There was but little activity on the
floor of the Mining Exchange yester-
day, and yet a large majority of the
stocks exhibited an upward tendency.
Mercur was especially strong and
advanced to s615 in the bidding and
$3.50 asked.
OF the silver stocks Ajax made some
gains, and was in fairly good demand
at &c cents, although holders stood out
for 50 cents. Ontario also chronicled
good advances, and closed very firm at
So bid and s1025 asked. South Swan
sea crawled up to 50 cents in the bid
ding. and the offerings jumped UP to
the old mark once again. Swansea was
also in good demand. and was in ac-
tive demand at the old figures, although
none of the stock changed hands.
The week has been an uneventful one
in mining stock circles, and the sales
have been very light, but this can be
accounted for from the fact that this
has been election week and on this
account not much could be expected. 1t
is believed, however, that from this
time on there will be a revival of bust
ness in the pit of the exchange.
The closing quotations were as fol-
lows:

East Golden Gate Mining company

East Golden Gate Mining company
Of Mercur, Utah.
Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov. 5, 1885,
To Shareholders:
The majority shareholders of this
company have this day placed in es-
crow il the hands of E. W. Duncan,
trustee, cashier National Bank of the
Republic of this city, a certain contract
with Captain ]. B. Black of Salt Lake
City, Utah, in substance as follows:
Said majority shareholders have depos-
tied 100000 shares of stock of the COM
pany with an agreement to deposit no.
900 or more shares additional stock in
the event the minority shareholders do
not desire to participate in the option
and deposit all or any part of the no.
600 shares on or before December 10,
1896. Captain Black under said con-
tract agrees to pay 10 cents per share
for all stock. taken, as follows: cents
per share on or before February "a,
1897, and cents per share on or before
March q. 1897
Stock should be forwarded under this
option to E. w. Duncan, trustee, Ma
tional Bank of the Republic, Salt Lake
City, Utah. E. j. CARTER,
Secretary.
1t is to be hoped that this mine, undeN
the management of Captain Black, will
develop into a heavy producer, and
that the purchasers of the stock, if the
bond is taken up, will make a bushel OF
money out of the enterprise, but 1T is
to be regretted that the first purchasers
of the stock who paid 80 cents a share
for the same, will not share in the
benefits, if any accrue.
While the methods of the East Golden
Gate company have been criticised from
time to time, it is doubtful if any of
its acts were SO deserving of censure
as its failure to inform the stockholders
of the company of the exact results OBJ
tanned with the diamond drill by means
of which the property is now being
prospected. The stockholders had the
right to know this, and had they been
informed regarding the same, it might
have made some difference with them
in the disposition of their stock, and it
is even limited that on account OF this
mode of procedure an action may be
brought against the company.
AT the meeting of the directors of the
company yesterday, Captain Black was
elected general manager and vice-presi-
dent of the company.

DETROIT, Nov. 7.-Senator McMil-
Ian, in an interview today, in regard
to Mckinley calling an extra session of
congress, after his inauguration as
president, said:
The less congress is in session the
better. 1t is impossible at this time
to judge as to the probabilities of a
special session. We want to show that
the Wilson bill will operate under the
new order of things. 1t depends upon
importations. If the receipts of
revenue should increase sufficiently to
meet the needs of the government, 1
doubt whether a special session would
be called If, however, they should
prove insufficient, prompt measures
would, 1 suppose, be demanded"
