ORE IN THE BLACK SPIDER.
Perseverance Rewarded After Many
Years of Hard Work.

Mono, Utah, Jan. IF there is one
man in this country today who be-
lieVes that perseverance is rewarded,
that man is Mr.. Christensen, who,
many years ago, located the Black Spi-
der up on Mt Nebo.
According to the traditions of the
country Mr.. Christensen located the
BLACK Spider 20 or p years ago, and
through all of these years he has
pegged away in its development, and
he has always been sanguine that uIti-
mately success would crown his efforts
and that in the Black Spider he would
open up property that would make
him rich. Lack of means has often
stood between him and the develop
ment of the property and he has per-
severed where others would have given
up long ago, and it was while he was
delving away in the mine few days
ago that his pick broke into a fine
body of ore, which, upon investigation
proved TO be high grade mineral
Upon having tests made upon tn ore
it was ascertained that it carried
values of "a per cent lead =r>l bout
$50 ounces in silver to the ton, and
now Mr.. Christensen is busily en-
gagged in taking out a shipment. which
will be consigned to one of the valley
smelters within a short time, and it is
believed that regular ore shipments can
be made from the new bonanza here
after.
Mt. Nebo has made a fine showing
during the past season and the new
discoveries reported have caused con-
siderable excitement in this locality
and throughout the state generally:
and If all accounts are true, there are
now number of producers on the
mountain that will be heard from in
the spring, if not sooner

At the Wonder.

Hon. p. J. Quealy of the Wondor
mine. who is in from Mercur, informs
The Herald that he is still working
away in the development of this prop
erty and that he is just as sure as
ever that in the end the company will
find ore and plenty of it, the only dis
couragement being the fact that it lies
DEEPER than at first believed
The Wonder shaft is now down to
the 5S0-foOt level. and it is thought
that it may have to be pushed down
geo feet further before the mineral is
encountered, and in going this depth
it is the intention to run drifts at in
tervals. but as to the ultimate success
there is not a question of doubt in the
minds of the originators of the enter
prise.
On the outside it is the prevailing
opinion that the fact that the Golden
Gate is getting its richest ores with
depth is giving courage to the Won
der people, and that they have good
reason to believe that when they Go
strike the ore H. their property it Will
be high grade stuff.
In speaking of the western slope
Mr.. Quealy states that at the present
time the claim holders and prospect
ors in that locality are wild over the
showing made, and that they have
reason to feel good over the way that
that region is developing, as the midi
cations are of the most flvorib BILE
character, and there is hardly INV
doubt but that some rich propositions
Will be uncovered there.

found since the first pick was struck
into 1t, and this was when the men at
work in this property opened up a 40
loot body of ore that is good milling,
and which is really the incest chute
OF mineral ever disclosed in this mine.
The Herald has it on good authority
that it is the intention of the company
to increase the capacity of it's plant
at an early day, and it is the general
understanding that when this is done
the dividends will be increased also
1t is the general impression that the
Sacramento is one of the most prom

it is it is the youngest dividend payer
IN the camp, and the indications are
that it will open out into a mine as
great as the Mercur. if not larger
There was one time in the history of
Mercur when it was believed that the
adjoining ground was valueless, and
the Sacramento ground was unoccu-
pied long after the company began its
first payments of dividends Now.
however, this and other properties in
the immediate vicinity of the Mercur
give promise of developing into divi-
dend payers that will equal this boz
nanza property in every respect.

THE WEST DIP RUSH.
De Lamar Has a Bond on the Daisies
For $4,000.

The Mercur Mercury confirms the
report given out in these columns that
Captain j. r. De Lamar had secured
an option on the Daisies, on the west
ern slope. In mentioning this locality
the Mercury says:
The rush to the west dip has been
something unOrecedented this week.
and developments have been all that
could be desired. The South Daisy
people got down through the wash into
the vein and are now securing values.
Captain De Lamar has secured an
option of a few days on the Daisy
property is being thoroughly pros
and South Daisy for $70,0 900, and the
pected under Superintendent Kisling-
bury's management. 1t is the general
belief that the sale will be consum-
mated. The Big Flat and Snowstorm
people, who own valuable ground south
OF the Daisy, and who conflict with
each other, are preparing to settle the
matter in court. A four-horse stage
makes two trips to the dip daily and is
always well loaded. The Italians who
located group far out in the valley,
where the vein crops, have obtained
values OF over 81. and it is safe TO say
than in less than ten days every foot
of the valley will be located. The De
Lamar company had their large group
in the valley surveyed, and the lOca-
ton work is being done Both Man
ager Cohen and Superintendent Kis-
lngbury have great faith in the new
discoveries and will spend a great deal
Of money on the west dip during the
year They have already purchased a
large number Of valuable claims. c. L.
Dignowity is developing the Black
Horse group with good results. E. A.
Benson of Omaha, having large inter-
6StS on the west dip, was here during
the week and is elated over recent de-
velopments. G. w. Clay has a large
force Of men at work on the Alta.
Salt Lake and eastern capitalists are
coming in by twos, threes and dozens.
There are rumOrs of a number of new
strikes this week. The La Cigale and
Daisy ore bodies continue to improve
as development progresses. There are
hundreds of men on the dip prospect
ing, locating, bonding and buying, and
their number is increasing with every
revolution OF the sun.

accompanying his with an autograph
letter. On the part of his own country,
the two houses of parliament voted
their thanks and a pension of $4,000 a.
year. The East India company by q
gift of 10000 acknowledged the Sc
curity gained for the Indian possess
sions. Other individual corporations
took appropriate notice of the great
event; instances so far apart as the
cities Of London and Palermo and the
Island of Zante showing how wide
spread was the sense of relief.
In titular rank Nelson was raised to
the lowest grade of the peerage as
Baron Nelson of the Nile. Indignant
comment was made in some quarters
upon the inadeQuacy of this advance
ment to the brilliancy and Importance
of the service done. The ministry jus
titled it's action upon the technical
ground that, though no superior was
within 1000 miles OF AbOukir. Nelson
was nevertheless a subordinate flag
officer, not Communicated chief.
Not least gratifying to him, with his
sensitive appreciation of friendship
and susceptibility to hattery, must
have been the numerous letters of
congratulate he received from friends
in and out of the service. and espec-
tally from men whose eminence and
professional standing made their praise
sound criterion for the calm after
judgment of mankind. Besides many
other officers of character and reputa-
ton the three great admirals Lords
Howe, Hood and st. Vincent, the lead
ers of the navy in rank and distin-
guished service, wrote to him in the
strongest terms of admiration. The
latter two did not hesitate TO style the
battle the greatest achievement that
history could produce, while Howe's
language, more measured, was so only
because. like himself. it was more pre-
else in characterizing the special mer-
it's of the action, and was therefore
acknowledged by Nelson with particu-
in the Battle of the Nile" by Captain
A. T. Mahan, in the January Century.

AT the present time more and more
interest is being centered in the Col
den Gate mine at Mercur, and it is
beginning to look as if it was the in
tention of Captain J. r. DeLamar,
through his representatives, to make
something out of this magnificent
property.
From well-posted mining man who
is just in from Mercur The Herald
learns that under the efficient manage
ment of H. a. Cohen the Golden Gate
mine has been doubled in value within
the last so days, and that while sinking
in what is known as the east shaft
splendid body of oXidized ore has been
uncovered within the past few weeks;
in fact that this is one of the largest
chutes of milling ore that has ever
been opened up in this camp, and that
the mineral carries high gold values.
1t is also stated that the big mill that
has been in contemplation for over a
year will surely be erected in the
spring, and that when this is in opera
ton Mercur will experience lively times
ana especially so as at that time other
new plants Will be grinding away on
ores in the same camp.
1t is the general understanding that
Wnen the DeLamar mill is built 1t VIII
use process that was invented and
has been patented by Mr.. Cohen. Ac-
cording to what has been learned con-
corning this process it will use cyanide
to dissolve the gold, but when the
solution is drawn from the pulp it will
be conducted into a tank instead of
running through a trough filled with
zinc shavings. Into this tank of So
luton that holds the gold in suspen-
sion a certain amount of zinc dust will
be added, and from the bottom of the
tank compressed air will be introduced,
which will agitate the solution in
thorough manner, and when this man
ipulation has been carried on for the
necessary time the solution is drained
off leaving the product in the shape of
cyanides; after which the solution is
re-standardized and used over again.
The same process is used at the mill
at DeLamar, New, with the exception
that at the Golden Gate the arsenical
ores will be roasted. With the large
bodies Of oxidized ores uncovered in
the east shaft, however, it may be a
long time before it will be necessary
to touch the arsenical ores in the mine.
