Rcturn OF Manager Dorm.

Manager John Dern of the Mercul
mine returned home yesterday morn
ing from an extended visit to Europe
and it looked natural at the Office OF
the company yesterday to see him at
his desk as of yore; and during the day
he received a cordial welcome home
from his many friends in this city.
During his absence Mr.. Dern has
visited England. France. Germany and
Switzerland, and he inspected nearly
all of the places of note and fame in
these countries.
When questioned by a Herald re-
porter as to whether his visit had any
significance in the way of mining bust
ness. he stated that it had not, and he
Furthermore said that the rumors re-
garding the sale of the Mercur mine
were entirely without foundation and
that there was nothing in the report
that there was liable to be consolida-
ton of the Mercur, Golden Gate and
other Mercur properties.
Mr.. Dern enjoyed his trip very much,
and it is very interesting TO hear him
describe what he has seen and heard
during his absence.

A MINING CENTER.
What Los Angeles Mining Paper
Says of Salt Lake.

+. w. Edelsten, the editor of the Min
ing and Metallurgical Journal of Los
Angeles, Cal, who paid a visit to this
city few weeks ago, accompanied by
his wife. is now on the tripod again
in the Journal office. and in the last is
sue of that excellent publication he
pays Salt Lake high tribute and COM
pliment; besides which he publishes a
lengthy review of the business and
mining men of this city and devotes
considerable space to an illustrated
write-up of Camp Floyd district.
In an article headed Salt Lake a
Mining Center" Mr.. Edelsten says:
There are many requisites necessary
to make a successful mining center
Thriving cities have been started in the
west on the superstition that the min
eral resources were of sufficient mag
nitude TO not only sustain them. but
to make them great in population and
commercial Importance; but the vicisi-
tudes of the industry have been such
that but few important cities have been
entirely sustained in their growth by
the mining industry.
Salt Lake City, probably more than
any other city in the United States,
owes its present prosperity and it's
promising future to mining, aside from
it's favorable location in the center of
one of the richest valleys in the
United States. it is surrounded by a
mineral belt which present development
is proving to be one of the most ex-
tensive in the world. But other things
are necessary to make this vast treas
ure available for the uses of mankind.
These immense deposits of mineral
have probably existed thousands of
years, but were useless to within a few
years ago, on account of the want of a
process to extract the precious metals
economically. The fame of Utah has
attracted mining men from all parts of
the world. and there are now to be
found in Salt Lake City many business
institutions and mining men to whom
the credit is due of having overcome
all the apparently insurmountable diff
ficulties of winning the values from
the hitherto useless deposits of mineral

Now that the cold weather has set
in it is more than likely that there Will
be more activity in mining in the
Hot Springs district than there has
been during the past summer, and The
Herald is informed that work has al
ready begun in the development Of sew
eral properties in the immediate vicin-
ity of this city.
For the past few weeks George F.
Adkins and sons of Salt Lake have
been hard at work in driving the tun-
mel in the Bob Ingersoll mine. a short
distance northeast from the city ceme-
terry. This tunnel is now in distance
of 20 feet and the face is in an i'm
mense body of quartz that is well
mineralized and tests are 1Ow being
made on the rock at the assay Offices
in this city. Six weeks ago samples
of the ore showed values of $4.So in gold
to the ton, and now that greater depth
has been obtained on the deposit it is
believed that the quartz will so still

teaching process.
On account Of the encouraging show

the owners of the property are conf
dent that it will open out into a pro-
life producer and a big paying mine.
The ore found in the Bob Ingersoll
has the general characteristics of the
Mercur ore. only that it is lighter in
color, and if the theory that the shores
of old lake Bonneville are lInderlaid
with deposits of gold is correct. there
is every reason to believe that in this
property there Will yet be found an
other Mercur mine.

DEATH IN a NINE.
Alvin Offan Killed BY the Caving In
of n Drift.

of n Drift.
The Butte Miner of the 14th tells of
a sad tragedy in the Philadelphia
mine as follows:
Alvin Offan was killed about $50
o'clock last night in cave on the 800
level of the Nettie No. 3, otherwise
known as the Philadelphia mine.
Frank II. Young, his partner, had
miraculous escape from the same fate
He was injured about the head and
body and was removed to hurry and
Freund's hospital.
The exact scene of the accident was
in No. Z slope on the 500 level. Offan
and Young were engaged in driving the
face of the slope and were squaring out
for new set of timbers when without
warning fully two carloads of waste
fell directly upon the spot where they
were working and buried Offan. One
slab of rock weighing between 400 and
500 pounds lodged on his stomach,
crushing out all of the vitals. Not
second later a second slab fell and COW
cred his head. 1t also struck Young
and gave him nasty scalp wound and
some bruises about the body, but be-
yond these wounds there is nothing
serious.
Jim Bergman and Alexander Erick-
son, who were working 10 feet away
from Offan and Young heard the form
ers yell of agony and they were the
first ones on the ground. With the as
sistance of others they lifted the rock
from the dying mans stomach and
head. He only lived about 20 minutes
afterward. The coroner and hospital
were telephoned Immediately. Young
was removed to his home, the first
house on the south side of Granite
west of Missoula gulch.
The Nettie No. 5 is located on the
right side of the road. entering Burling-
ton. 1t is owned by a company of
Pennsylvanians. Foreman Joe Rey-
nolds and Shift Boss w. c. Whitemore
were in charge of the property.
Ofan went to work on the Nettie
last August He was a stranger in
the camp and single man about 50
years of age, his most intimate friend
being Fred Divel, miner employed ON
the Gagnon mine. They lived together

MINES, MINING AND MILLING.

it is the intention to get below the
Gaping as rapidly as possible, and the
history of that portion of the district
and the indications disclosed in the
property will doubtless bear out the
theory that below the iron there will
be found a large body of ore.
Within a few weeks Mr.. Merrill will
install a hoist or whim on the ground.
in order that deep sinking may be IA
cilitated.
Mr.. Merrill is also the owner of the

CATTLE QUARANTINE.
Canada Anxious For IA Relaxation of
the Laws.

the Laws.
New York, Dec. ia special 10 the
Herald from ottawa, Ont. says: Real
izing that Canada has nothing now 10
hope for in the way of removal of the
British embargo of live cattle from this
country. the government has decided
to open negotiations with the United
States for a relaxation of International
quarantine restrictions. 1t is three
years since the embargo went into eff
feet. but the rigorous quarantine de-
manded by the British board of agri-
culture has been maintained against
American cattle entering Canada, in
the hope that the British board of agri-
culture would consent to its removal.
The Americans have shown their
good will by allowing Canadian cattle
leaving by ships from Boston and Port
land to go through without detention,
and Sydney A. Fisher. minister of
agriculture, is now en- route to Wash
ington to negotiate for further con-
cessions as regards American cattle
coming into Canada and Canadian
cattle crossing the border to the Ameri-
can market.
1t is thought the 80 days quarantine
is much more than is needed. and it
will likely be reduced to ten or Is
days or removed altogether.
