a petition to the governing board of

This information was designed for the

NEVER LOOKED BETTER
That is W. C. B. Aliens Remark With Respect
10 the Mercur District,
MINES ARE PUTTING IN RoAsTlRs.


Few individuals perhaps have
studied the development OF Mercur and
the West Dip with greater fervor or
more careful scrutiny than has w. C.
Is. Allen. who came in Monday from
Utahs great gold camp. Mr.. Allen has
watched the growth of the camp for
several years past. and at this stage
of the game he states with all candor
and In II calm, but positive manner
that the district never looked better
than 1t does today. The big mines are
being worked with larger forces than
ever, while there is hardly prospect
of any consequence. that is not being
vigorously developed In the hope that
1t may soon take rank with the big
producers and shippers.
a feature which Mi. Allen specially
notes. is that most of the mines are
about to put in roasters, their owners
having become convinced that such an
Investment will be money well spent,
in view of recent demonstrations that
heating the ore makes possible the
finer crushing of It, and will also
increase quite materially the percent
age of saving. These plants are being
put in at the Golden Gate and will find
place at the La Cigale on the West
Dip,and ut "A number of other properties

for them. Mr.. Brown of Chicago is
stationed in the camp taking orders

for Mercur is all right, says the gen
tleman.

BUILDING FALLS DOWN.


A large section of adobe wall from
two-story building fell in with a
crash at the rear Of Nos. II and 10 west
South Temple street at $3.50 this morn
ing. The crash was heard far down
the street and startled number of
people from their sleep and caused
nightwatchmen and police officers to
think big job of e-craclSlng had
been done in the neighborhood.
Investigation showed that the noise
was caused by n tumbling in of the
southeast corner of the Clawson build
ing occupied by John Harrington for
livery stable purposes. Workmen were
engaged on the building yesterday re-
pairing the roof. but had not finished
when the rain set in and caused the
collapse. The rest of the structure 10

The Gold Mountain mining district
situated in Pluto county. Utah, and
Joining on to the Ohio or Marysvale
district, is beginning to show up in its
shipments of gold ore. says the i.iu.e
Pioneer. For example, the Golden
Star Mining and Milling company have
shipped from the Blue Bird mine this
last summer over forty tons of rich
ore that averaged S1G0 per ton, and
the mine Is paying it's own way. The
Miller mine, situated to the west Of
the Sewer mine has 400 snclSs of gold
ore ready for shipment that will aver

as Mr.. Miller is negotiating with Cal
iforDia company, he concluded not to
ship his ore until further knowledge
of the deal. The Holland mine, con-
trolled and operated by Messrs. Sny-
der and Mitchell, has shipped few
tons of gold ore that averaged $3.50
per ton. besides they save all the fine
gold and concentrates with their new
Mitchell gold amalgamator. The
Breckenridge and Mammoth mine
operated and managed by James Long
Jr.,has the largest and richest showing

employed on the Bunker Hill group of
four claims, joining on the west of the

He has built cabin for the accomo-
