assays have been taken running 500
ounces in silver per ton. In every part
of the mine encouraging results are
being obtained and the stock is going
up in consequence
An important discovery was made
Wednesday in the South Daisy. In the
shaft, which is LOO feet south OF the
Daisy shaft at a depth of 55 feet, the
ore bcdy. having the characteristics OF
the Daisy and La. Cigale pay ore,
was encountered. Assays are being
made and there is no doubt that it Will
run well. The South Daisy is owned
by about the same company as the
Daisy.
There is more ore in sight at the Mer-
cur mine than at any previous time
in its history. Parties who are in a

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
Falls Down a Deep Shaft and Not a
Single Bone Broken.

Thursday afternoon, at the Star Con-
solidated mine, near Silver City, Tin
Tic, John Erickson fell down the shaft,
a depth of lis feet, and strange to
say, he escaped without the breaking
of any bones, although quite badly
bruised.
Mr.. Erickson was well taken care of
at the mine Thursday night, and yes
terday he was brought in to Salt Lake
by Superintendent W. ]. Lawrence,
and is now under the doctors care at
ST. Marks hospital.
When brought 10 the surface the I'M
fortunate man was bleeding at the
mouth. ears and nose, but it is believed
that he will recover if he is not in
jured internally.
Such an escape as this from instant
death is truly wonderful, and the fact
that no bones were broken is consid-
cred as truly miraculous, as il is very
seldom that such a fall let's the victim
off so easily.
The Star Consolidated was in the
market Yesterday with a 5-ton ship
ment Of ore which will make is car
loads that the company has shipped so
far this month. From Mr.. Lawrence it
is learned that the mine is in excel
lent shape and that it is believed the
property can maintain heavy ship

they earned from time to time by

RICH PLACERs FOUND.
The Little Town of Harlem Excited
Over the Discovery.

Over the Discovery.
A press dispatch from Great Falls,
Montana, says: The little town of Har-
lem. of Choteau county, is all excite
ment on account of the discovery of
rich placer mine in the Cypress nils
but a few miles distant from the town.
The report has been carried into the
surrounding country and many are
preparing 10 leave for the scene OF IN
told wealth.
The exact location of the mine is
about five miles from Malta in a direct
line TO the hills. The news reached
here this afternoon through John Meier
an old mining man. who came in from
Harlem TO purchase an outfit and who
proposes 10 start for the hills at once.
The discovery was made by two Ger
mans named Rudolph and Gus Helm.
two prospectors who for several months
past have been working in the nils
and making a good living.
Meier reports that a wash of six days
resulted in $500 and the indications are
that the mountain will last for an in
definite period.
MT Meier saws that several Indians
became aware of the find and carried
the news TO Harlem and the surround
ing country about d week ago. Several
parties from that point started out and
found the conditions as the Indians
had represented. From Fort Benton
comes a veriffcation of the news this
afternoon. 1t is said that several par
ties from there have started for the
hills in company with several residents
of the Milk River valley. Among the
number who have caught the fever is
John Gante, a prominent cattle man,
who raised funds for the trip by dis
posing of a bunch of cattle. Mir. Meier

The pit Of the mining exchange was
well-fiiled yesterday with brokers, and
a decided interest was taken in the
transactions of the call.
As a genral thing there was marked
improvement in the dealings of the
day, ana activity and advances in
stocks were noted
In the listed securities quotations
were well maintained and some of the
shares were quite strong. Eagle, which
has been quite for some time past, was
in good demand at an advance and
sales were registered. Geyser was a
faverite and figured in the dealings of
the call at s1.22ls: but a repetition of
this bid failed 10 draw out any more of
the stock Nercur regained lost ground
and was firm at $40 bid and IS asked
Mammoth was also in good demand
and closed strong at S1.30 bid and $1.45
asked. Generalization maintained its
quotations of the previous day but
was inactive. Northern Light disclosed
considerable activity and chronicled
transfers at 81 cents.
More than usual attention was paid
to the unlisted stocks and dealings in
these were recorded. Swansea was IN

South Swansea was firm in the hold

Chloride Point distinguished itself by
decided gains and the bid of 271k cents
was intellectual. as the closing offering
was firm at 30 cents. Omaha was

so asked.
After the close Of the call the mem
bers went into executive session. and
considered three propositions for ad-
journment. One was TO take a vacation
for &c days, one for 80 and one for two
