TIE MINES OF MERCUR.
Heavy Development Progressing
Throughout the Camp.


Mercur, Nov 26.-The heavy snow
storm which ragged here yesterday Eld
the effect of stopping most of the work
on the Golden Gate mill, and inter
fered with the work of prospecting for
a few days. but eventually it will per-
NIT the working of many claims, as it
guarantees water for the men who have
been working under serious disadvan-
tages.
Charles Corfield recently fell down
winze in the Mercur mine a distance
of 10 feet, but luckily escaped any per-
manent injury.
Thanksgiving was appropriately OBJ
served in Mercur. Most Of the mines
shut down for the day, and the work
men attended strictly to reducing the
poultry census, and the other usual
exercises The Stultz company held a
matinee in the afternoon, and the
! DaugtterS of Rebecca gave a dance in
the evening.
The Sacramento has been following
suit in searching for a lower vein. a
winze was sunk in the lower tunnel to a
depth of IS feet, and a drift run from
this point. A few days ago a large
body of ore was found of values equal
| to that found above, some of it going
about $40.
There are quite a number of eastern
people in camp at present, some Of
whom are examining different mining
! properties. but the principals in the
matter are only known as eastern
companies

ner Boys in the same locality are also
receiving some attention.
At the Mercur mine the lower vein
has been penetrated distance of 81
feet, and still there is no sign of a
footwan.
Work on the Wonder Will be resumed
in a day or two under the direction of
w. T. McFarlane, for long time fore
man at the Golden Gate. A force of
eight hands will be employed.
Colonel Wall has decided to take held
OF the Hecla group, and will commence
q search for the vein at an early date.
The colonel has so far made no mis-
takes in developing ground in the camp,
and probably is the best posted man in
the district in regard to the Camp
Floyd ore bodies.

PUBLIC WORKS.
Final Estimate on the Second South
Street Sewer.

The board of public works yesterday
approved the city engineers final esti-
mate in favor of Contractor Harrigan
on account of the East Second South
street sewer. After deducting the sum
of $1SO.O5, the cost to the city of repair
ing and completing the work after it
was abandoned by the contractor, and
the retention of $332.13 due to supply
ers of material used in the construction
of the sewer, the balance will be $296.11.
However, out of this latter sum the
penalty of $3.50 for % days overtime on
the work, the board will recommend
the city council to Withhold. TIE board
decided to recommend that the council
enforce, in this instance, the penalty
clause in the contract, and as COM
puted from actual and fair conditions.
The retention of the amounts claimed
by material men is conditioned upon
the boards chairman and the city en-
gineer finding the sums c aimed to be
actually due.

The matter of repairing the stone

Main and Second South streets was
referred back to the council with a
recommendation that the street railway
company be notified to make its portion
of the repairs, and the street supervisor
to do the city's portion, all to the sat

the city, engineer protested against
Street Supervisor Mulloy having the
work in charge for the reason that the
supervisor has always refused to make
pavement repairs satisfactory to the

papers in the case that Mr.. Hodges laid
claim TO the preference right as a share

Commissioner Harris brought ND for
discussion the subject of congressional
legislation looking 10 the ceding of gov
eminent lands in Utah. exclusive of min
eral lands, to the state for the use and
benefit of the people, under proper regu-
lations. The lands referred TO are not in
cludad in the government grants already
made to the state, but include the arid
wastes susceptible of reclamation 1t IS
not desirable to select these tracts to ap
ply upon the allotment of grants, and it
is believed that they will be of more bene-
tit to the state than to the national gov
eminent which cannot dispose of them
as advantageously as can the state. 1t
was partly on the suggestion of Secretary
of State Hammond that Representative
King introduced a bill in congress at the
late session, providing for the benefaction
desired. Commissioner Harris CORE
spondence with Congressman King
brought out the information that there
was much hostility ito the movement at
first, but latterly it began to be regarded
with greater favor at Washington. Con-
gresham King was also reported as be-
ing of the opinion that the boards en-
dOrsement OF the efforts of Utah's dele
cation in congress would help bring sue
cess to the movement. Accordingly it was
voted to invite Senators Cannon and
Rawlns and Representative King to meet
with the board this forenoon to discuss
the matter.
