IN THE SUNSHINE COUNTRY.
Work Being Pushed in Gold Point
and Searchlight Development.


and Searchlight Development
". D. Johnson. the manager of the
Gold Point mine. at Sunshine, arrived
in the city yesterday, and from his ap-
pearance = would seem that western
life in the mountains was agreeing With
him.
Mr.. Johnson has unlimited faith and
confidence in the Sunshine country, and
he advances the theory that the south
ern end of the district will eventually
outrival the Mercur portion of the
camp.
In the development of the Gold Point
the shaft is now down to the 15O-foot
level. and it is being deepened as fast
as three shifts can put it down, and
it is the intention to go to the 400 level
before drifting. In fact, it is not ex-
pected that pay dirt will be encount-
cred until this depth is attained.
The Gold Point company is a strong
one, financially, and as it is satisfied
as TO the value of its ground. it will
not stop until it has demonstrated its
theory as to the extent of the ore de-
posits embraced within the boundary
lines of its group of claims.
AT the Search Light, adjoining the
Geld Point. work is being pushed, and
the indications are favorable. The
Search Light, like the Gold Point, is
also equipped with a steam hoist, and
the property will he prospected in a
thorough, manner.
In speaking of the West Dip claim.
not far from Sunshine. owned by Beau
regard and Nichols, where free
gold was found about a month ago, Mr..
johnson stated that these gentlemen
are working away in the development
of the property, and that they are
sinking on a strong ledge from which
it is stated they are getting encourag-
ing values.
Mr. johnson also stated that it was
understood tHat work would soon be
resumed on the Electric. on which
favorable showing had already been
made

difficulty can be patched up remains
TO be seen. but at present neither the
contractors nor masons show any dis
position to yield.

bour. the Brick Masons' union served

of course. in order that they might
base any contracts made ahead on that
proposition, but it did not apply to
any contracts already made and which,
as a matter of course, were based on
the SO scale. When the Short Line
building was figured on, all the con-
tractors took into account our notice
of the increase after May l.
I'VE worked here up to a year ago,
for three years on a scale of $3.50 per
day. This advance to 81 may seem
like very good wages. but it should be re
membered that it requires skilled labor
and that We have practically no work
at all during the winter, while it is pre-
cariOus even in the summer.

far as this week is concerned practi-
cally no brick could have been laid
anyway. as the masons are waiting
for the carpenters. The contractors
know that, and as the strike does not,
therefore. interfere with the progress
of the work. they are probably letting
the matter go in the hope that we
may yield. not being affected by our
action just now.
The talk of getting masons in from
the outside to do this work at SO per
day is. in my judgment, a bluff. The
scale in Denver is $3.50 and s.. In Idaho
it is $3.50 per day and in Montana So.
1t will be seen, therefore, that we shall
be working at a lower scale, should
the advance be granted. than that paid
in the surrounding states.
THE strike does not affect the car
penterS or other classes of labor, and
as I stated. the advance only applies
on contracts taken since the notice
was served.

ter be referred to the state board Of
arbitration for settlement, if it is so
desired. but l believe it will be ad-
justed without such action

been rather quiet during the past
month, has gradually been moving up
ward during the last few days and
yesterday it was in good demand and
chronicled transfers on a rising mar
ket Utah was also a favorite and
made sales at an advance. Ajax was
stationary but steady at the quotations
of the previous day. Bullion-Be is a
puzzle TO the talent, as there is no
certainty as to whether or not the com
pany will pay its regular dividend this
month. Mercur was very strong and
the bull element pushed it up to $40
in the bidding and $40 in the asking,
and it is the prevailing impression
that as soon as the new addition TO
the Mercur mill is completed and the
company begins the payment of in
creased dividends the stock will go up
TO SO. Mammoth was inactive but was
solid at the quotations of the previous
call. Disqualification was weak in the
bidding and yet it was firmly held at
the usual figures. There was lively
demand for Northern Light and while
the stock was offered at yesterdays
quotations, buyers were shy to the ex-
tent of cents.
The special feature of the call of the
unlisted stocks was the way in which
Homestake recorded advances as well
as sales. During Tuesdays call this
stock was active al rs cents. but yes
terday this bid failed to draw out any

were made at 21k. South Swansea was
inactive but strong while its running

Pittsburg was stronger in the holdings

siderable f1uctua ton. Not much trad
ing in Dexter has been INDUCED in of
late. and yet the stock is holding its
own in good shape. Dalton still hangs
fire between , and cents. while Rich
