NATIVE QUICKSILVER FOUND.
Accident at the Geyser and Also on
Lion Hill.

Mercur. May 19.-While working on
the Moonstone yesterday, the boys
found a small pocket of native quick
silver. There was not so much of ii
as to make the find valuable, but it
suggests the possibility of more being
found in the near neighborhOod. The
Moonstone joins the Marion on the
west and covers part of the old Carrie
Steele ground. from which some very
rich silver ore has been taken in the
past. 1t is likely that considerable
work will be put on the property this
summer, as it has never been pros
pected to any extent. 1t is the prop
erty of Maer and Carr of MercuI and

Lake City.
superintendent Benner has returned
from his Nevada trip. bringing lot Of
very fine SAMPLES of free gold. The
country where he has been is in the big
bend of the Truckee river. He is well
pleased with the country and thinks it
will bear investigation. 1t is probable
that the parties he represented will
build mill there if further investiga-
tion shall confirm surface indications
There is a large extent of territory and
the vein is well defined. Free gold
abound in the district. and with
proper facilities can be mined profita-

added the Omaha and Vanderbilt, as
it is only a question of development
with these properties before they can
be classed with the other milling prop

of at least so more prospects, the out

TO say that there is not another camp
of its age in the world that can equal
ii, and 1 am satisfied that within the
next year there will be at least 20 or
20 mills in operation in the. district,
and within two years more the output
it is thousands. Then, too the
gentleman went on TO say, look at
the area and the extent OF the ore
zone. Its magnitude is something
wonderful, beginning as it does at
Ophir canyon, at the Northern Light,
and extending as far south as Five
Mile Pass, ard taking in as it does
what is known as the west dip. which,
in itself, promises TO come to the front
with the greatest denOSits of gold
ever uncovered in any camp. In fact,
it is, or soon viii be, hard TO compute
the extent of the gold bearing mineral
deposited in the west dip country, for
when it assumes the form of acreage,
the possibilities of the camp are al
most beyond computation.
In fact the whole district is a
wonder, and there is nothing that
know of that can approach ii in its
magnitude and the immensely of its
deposits of the precious metal; and
am satisfied that if the investor. the
capitalist and the mining operator will

GREAT IS CAMP FLOYD.
The Most Promising Gold Camp in
the Known World.

Two well known mining men were
yesterday discussing the merits of the
different mining camps in Utah and
in the west when one Of them said:
We'll, you may say what you please
but 1 am Of the opinion. after looking
over the situation carefully. that

gold camp in the west, and in the
known world. for that matter, and you
Will yet see for yourself that it will
boast Of more big and producing gold
mines than can be found in any other
camp in this or any other country"
The speaker paused here. when his
companion took occasion to ask him for
his reasons for this broad assertion.
1t is as easy 10 prove it as that two
and two make four" was the reply.
and then the speaker went on to say:

SOUTH SWANSEA OPERATIONS.
Shipping Heavily and Looking Bet
ter as Development Progresses.

l. E. Ritter, the manager of the
South Swansea mine at Silver City. re-
turned from the mine yesterday, feel
ing highly elated over the outlook for
! the property and the fine showing of
ore in its underground workings. The
company is bending all of its energies
TO the attainment of depth, and last
night Mr.. Ritter put on another shift
at the hoist and the pay roll will in
clude the names OF. % men from now
on until the shaft is sunk TO the re-
quired depth and the different levels
run, when it is more than likely that
extensive stopping and shipping will
begin.
Mr.. Ritter informs The Herald that
on the $50 level, to the north, connec-
tons for air have been made with the
workings of the Swansea mine. and
that now the atmosphere on this level
and in the shaft is all that could be
desired.
In sinking the shaft it was the in
tention to keep in the hanging wall of
the vein, but the ledge has straight
ened so that the shaft is now in it,
and in the bottom there is a two-foot
body of solid ore, and the deposit shows
unmistakeable signs of permanency
and continuity
On the 450. in making connection
with the Swansea, the body of ore was
followed from the shaft to the end line,
while to the south, on all of the levels,
the ore is holding out in a most salts
factory manner
AS stated above. every effort to at
tain depth is being made and the work
in this direction is being pushed, but
when the shaft is sunk and the diff
ferent levels run, a large area of
stopping ground will be exposed, and
then, if desired, the shipments of ore
will be something TO talk about.
New ore bins are being put in at the
mine. the fine steam hoist is being
painted and other improvements are
being made, and at the same time, al
though ii has not been the intention to
break down very much mineral, the
company has four lots of ore at the

/ They have sunk shaft on the ledge,
which outcrops next TO "a huge dixie
of blue porphyry. This dixie of
porphyry runs through this section
and can be seen from this shaft in
both the northeast and southwest di-
rections for five miles. At places it is
80 feet wide. and at no place did we
see it less than six feet. The shaft of
the Moose is vertical, SKI in the clear.
well timbered, and is 81 feet deep. The
vein is nearly three feet wide between
the walls. An average of the ore as
says $3.50 per ton in gold. Samples
or gauge matter or tale next to the
foot wall pans quite large particles
of gold. Going on TO the southwest
and end lining with the Moose is the
/. c. u. claim. This is located on the
same lead or vein, and has but the
assessment work done, while the loose
dirt thrown out of the 1O-foot hole also
pans free gold. On the extension of
the same vein is the Happy Bob, with
only the assessment work done Next
is the Crown Hill, which was recently
located. Groupings of the prophyry
assay $500 per ton in gold.
