Arrival of De Lamar.

]. R. De Lamar, the mining masnate
who is so heavily interested in magnifi-
cent gold properties at Mercur and in De
Lamar. New, arrived in the city yester-
day from London, and it is believed that
his visit here is in connection with his
bond on the Mercur mine. which expires
on the 22nd of next month
An effort was made to see the captain
yesterday. but he was closeted all OF the
afternoon and late into the night with
his private secretary. Mr.. H. A. Cohen,
and was not to be seen.
1t has been known for week or more
that Captain De Lamar was expected TO
arrive in the city yesterday. and more
than one effort has been made by those
who are curiously inclined to learn what
he had decided to do in relation TO the
Mercur option but nothing definite or
authentic could be obtained on the sub
ject. At the office of the Mercur company
no light could be thrown on the matter.
although the feeling in that quarter IS
that the option and bond will be taken
up.
On the streets yesterday rumors were
affioat to the effect that the bond would
not be taken up, but these were dcnot-
less groundless, as there is no one in the
city outside of the captain himself ana
his secretary who know for a certainty.
if, indeed, they know themselves, what
will be done in the premises
