began a little prospecting work which
resulted in the discovery of a siX-inch

There has been an undercurrent Of
excitement at Mercur for the past two
weeks and it is given out that the town
and the camp is on the eve of another
big boom.
The truth Of this assertion is borne
out by the fact that of late there has
been a quiet but determined inquiry
for AIercur real estate. and a number
of transfers have been recorded; while
al the same time there has been con-
siderable activity in the way Of secur-
ing bonds on well-located mining prop
critics; and what gives prominence to
these transactions IS that the en-
ployees of the De Lamar mine have
been the ones who have been the most
active in obtaining acquisitions in the
camp. which points plainly TO the fact
that there is a big hen on as far as
the De Lamar workings are concerned,
which means one Of two things, one OF
which is that work win soon be started
in the direction of the big De Lamar or
Golden Gate mill, or that this property
is about TO pass into the hands of those
who will utilize its vast ore reserves.
Then too. the wonderful develop
ments made in the mines of the camp
within the past three months are of
themselves enough TO warrant renewed
activity throughout the district. which,
in the opinion of mining operators. IS
destined 10 grow into the greatest gold
producing camp in the world: and il is
net strange that with the enlargement
of the mills already in the district and
