THE NORTHERN LIGHT MILL.
Indications That the Golden Gate
Will Soon do Something.

Mercur, June 27.-The work at the
Northern Light is progressing rapidly.
and the mill viii soon be running on
its enlarged OUTPUT.
On the hillside on the north side of
the mill the large tank room, 72xl30
feet, is assuming shape. the founda-
tons for the tanks. in all "a, are nearly
completed. and four of the new tanks
are now being transported from Mer
cur to their destination. The tanks
are the largest in the state used for
teaching, 20 of them beng capable of
holding 60 tons each. and the other
four 20 tons each. When in place the
daily capacity will be 200 tons.
A shipment OF high grade ore from
the workings in the MonarchS will be
sent in in a few days.
Every little circumstance in relation
to the Golden Gate is being closely
watched, and specialized on: some of
them are indeed very suspicious, to
say the least.
Yesterday II. F. Brown of Chicago,
the inventor of the roasting furnace,
was being shown around the camp by
one of the employees of the Golden
Gate. Joseph Diedrich, the noted mill
builder, was the guest of the same par
ties a few days ago. 1t is possible
that these gentlemen were here TO en-
joy the climate, but it is supposed that
other business brought them to the
cyanide camp.
The Silver Circle is one of the prop
critics lying on the silver ledge west of
the Geyser. and will probably become
a part of the Silver lode, Mr.. Allen hav-
ing secured ii on bond from City Re
corder Mahaffey.
The report that bids on the Golden
Gate mill have been solicited doesn't
seem TO have any foundation in fact.
The plans have not yet been made pub
lie, and it is hardly creditable that the
contract will be let in that way. Par
ties who have been looking over the
ground admit that they have only
faint idea as to the plans, bur are sat
isfied it will be one of the greatest
mills on the continent.
Joseph Johnson, the young man who
was injured at Manning yesterday, was
taken to St. Marks hospital today The
facts are that he was in the tank
house hitehing the horse to loaded
car when the horse started. In trying
To get out of the way the young man
was damned between the car and the
tank. and as there was only a space
of a few inches the car was brought
to a standstill. but not before 1t had
done considerable damage. A broken
leg was the least of the injuries sus-
tanned, and his chest and body We're
badly crushed, and II is feared ne was
internally injured.
Johnson has been working at the mill
about a year. His parents and broth
ers and sisters live in Provo.
Rather late in the day, but still in
time to make a good celebration,
number of Mercur's citizens met ana
decided to celebrate at home. COM
mittee was appointed to push the mat
ter 10 a finish, and over 800 was sub
scribed by a few parties. 1t is in
tended TO raise $500. with which amount
the committee feel sure it can make
programme. The members of the COM
mittee are l. r. Woodruff, G. P. Brown,
w t McFarlane, L. Scher, = Finger,
Alex Sheets. w Stevenson, S. Hall,
Wallace Watt and A. B. Gibson. The
committee is empowered to arrange the
programme and elect subcommittee.
