The Mercur COMPANY Wins.

The officers and stockholders of the
Mercur Mining company are congrat-
ulating themselves over the fact that
the courts have decided in favor of
the company in the suit brought
against it to enforce the payment of
taxes by Tooele county.
The amount involved was in the
neighborhood of $4,000 and was on ac-
count of the law recently enacted tax
ing the net income of mining COM
panies. This the company was willing
to pay when in accordance with the
law, but when the assessor of Tooele
attempted to collect for period dating
nine months back of the date of the
passage of the BILL then there was a
kick, and one which was upheld by
the higher courts. This action of the
Mercur will be of benefit to such com
panies as the Ontario, DAILY, Dalv
West, Centennial Eureka Silver King.
Geyser-Marion and other organizations
which paid the tax, as levied, under
protest, and so stand chance to re-
cover.

etc. are also in different stages of con-
struction.
A few days ago some of the miners
at the La Cigale quit work on account
of the regular pay day having passed
without the usual checks being dis
tributed. Mr.. Scheu was in Salt Lake
at the time. and came out on Mon
day. On his arrival he commenced pay
ing off all bills against the company,
restoring harmony among the discon-
tented. The cause OF the delay was the
serious sickness of Mr.. Mackey, and
the temporary absence of Mr.. Blodgett
from Boston. 1t is but fair to state
that only the most ignorant among the
creditors were in any way alarmed
over the situation and time checks in
the La Cigale were worth their face,
but agitators got in their work on ig
norant parties and caused a slight
ripple in the working of the mine Pre-
parations for the erection of roasting
ore bakers at the La Cigale are in pro-
gress. There is considerable of the ore
of a talcy nature. which is hard to
leach While wet but which with bak-
ing, teaches to perfection.

Geyser- Marion stock has been
looking up in mining circles during
the past two or three days, and the
cause for this pleasing condition of af-
fairs is accredited to the present
splendid condition Of the property and
the satisfactory manner in which the
two mills of the company have been
grinding away for some time past, and
also the increased product, which, if
kept up. viii soon enable the company
to increase the amount of its usual
monthly dividends.
It has always been claimed that
money talks and it is on this ac-
count that there We're smiles on the
faces Of Geyser- Marion stockholders
yesterday when it became known that
the last consignment of cyanide prod
uct from the Geyser- Marion mills was
larger and more valuable than any
shipment ever before made from this
property the two weeks run amount
ing to $9,155, according to the settle
ment made by the Consolidated Kan
Sas City Smelling &, Refining company,
at whose works in this city the cya-
hides were sampled.
While the mine is looking we'll in all
of its workings, it is showing up in
particularly gratifying manner in the
new Geyser mill tunnel, where virgin
bodies of excellent milling ore have
been exposed during the last two or
three weeks. and it is stated that as
drifting progresses on this second
vein" the gold values are constantly
increasing. which, without doubt, &C
counts to a certain extent for the extra
heavy shipment from the last two
weeks run.
AS it is. it is not the company alone
that is realizing that the Geyser-
Marion undoubtedly has a grand flu
ture in store for it, as outsiders are
also familiar with the desirable condi-
ton of the property, and it is largely
from this source that the orders are
being received which have given the
stock of the company a decided boost
during the past As hours.
Geyser- Marion has had its ups and
downs and the vicissitudes which are
nearly always the accompaniment of
mining enterprises. but the prevailing
feeling now is that 1t is on easy street
and that its future is bright indeed,
with good promise of making a SPLEEN
did record in years to come as a regu-
lar distributor of wealth in the shape
Of dividends.

ORE IN THE sNowsToRM.
The Latest West Dip Discovery to be
Chronicled

Mercur. Nov 2S.-The West Dip sea-
son may be said to have opened with
a strike on the Snowstorm. 1t had been
pretty well determined where the most
likely place to reach the vein would
be, and as soon as the whim was in
position the work of sinking was COM
naenced. At a, depth of 140 feet Man
ager Charlton found a streak of ore a.
few inches in thickness and followed it
on its dip. which was towards the west.
They had only gone a few feet before
the vein showed a thickness of five
feet The values are good and the ore
is similar in appearance to the Daisy
ore. The dip of the vein is about the
same as that found in the adjoining
property, and there is every reason to
believe that the same vein IN every es-
sential particular, has been reached in
the Snowstorm as has been developed
in the Daisy.
AT the Daisy the work of putting in
the new steam hoist is well under way.
All the machinery is on the ground
and the new shaft house nearly COM
pleted. A bunk house, cook house,

TWELVE INCHES OF ORE.
Fine Body of Good Mineral Exposed
In the Chloride.

In the Chloride,
Frisco, Utah, Nov. 22.-Au owners of
stock in the Galena Mining company
are wearing a very satisfied expression
today over development in the Chic
ride claim owned by this company.
Twelve inches Of gaiena ore is showing.
and from two TO eight inches in other
places. with as much more in width Of
q mixture Of shipping and lower grade
ore.
Two years ago q shaft was sunk so
feet on this claim with a fair showing
Of ore for so feet down. where the vein
took a dip to the south and the shaft
did not again encounter the ore. Three
thousand seven hundred pounds of ore
was extracted il sinking this shaft
that gave smelter returns Of % Del,
cent lead and 81 ounces silver.
The Galena directors concluded to do
their assessment work for this year in
running short drift on the strike Of
the vein, and directed Foreman Van
Patton to start west, where there was
not to exceed two inches of ore. Two
feet from the shaft this small streak
has Widened to one foot solid galena
and more than another foot of lower
grade is exposed, with only one wall de-
termined.
All the way up the shaft. from 30
feet down, ore is showing, and there
are quite a few tons of ore exposed in
ali that should easily average 80 per.
cent lead and SO ounces silver. Picked
samples run as high as 81 ounces sill
yer.
The men employed by the Beaver
Lake Copper company are greatly
elated over the high grade silver ore in
the bottom of the Kate Sackett shaft.
For the present the work will be done
in drift to the north to cross-cut the
large vein showing at the top OF the
hiatt.
Superintendent McAfee is confident
hat when this vein is cut in the drift.

MINING STOCK CIRCLES.
The Demand For Gilt-edged Securi
ties Constantly Increasing.

The outlook for increased business in
mining stocks during the coming win
ter is growing brighter every day. es-
pecially as the demand for gilt edged
securities has been steadily increasing
for the past three or four weeks.
Yesterday, in the pit of the exchange,
this condition of affairs was illustrated
by the advances made in some Of the
stocks in the bidding, and the interest
taken in the proceedings Of the call by
the brokers on the floor, as we'll as by
the spectators in the lobby.
In the listed stocks a sale of Bullion
Beck was made for the purpose of
filling out a broken lot. Geyser- Marion,
While not figuring in the transfers of
the day, was strong in the bidding as
well as in the offerings. Galena failed
to score, although buyer and seller
were near together at one time. Mann
moth fulfilled previous predictions, and
was IN good demand at 50, at which
figure a block Of the stock changed
hands. Mercur recorded continued ad-
vances in the bids, although it was sta
tionary at the asking price of the pre-
vious day. An effort was made to bear
Northern Light, which, however, made
fractional gain in the bidding.
In the unlisted securities Swansea ad-
vanced cents in the bidding and was
out of sight in the offerings. South
Swansea was in active demand. but re-
peated bids of $1.271S failed to draw out
any of the stock. Chloride Point main
tanned it's popularity, although it was
shaded a little in the offerings. Sacra-
mento recorded gains in the bidding,
holders standing out for a slight ad-
vance in the asking. Hercules was
firm at previous quotations.
The transactions of the day were as
follows:
SALES OF STOCK.
Is Bullion-Beck at 81.
100 Mammoth at 81.
100 Utah at 5915 cents.
100 Chloride Point at 391a cents.
