The Marion mill seems to have serveC

pany has closed il down The work o
charging the Geyser mill is progress
ing rapidly and it will be but a shos-
time until il viii be large enough t
treat as much ore as both plants have
been doing until recently.
Kelsey and his partners are busy or
the Broken Hills group, which lies cas-
Of the Edna May. A depth of - feet
! has been reached. and the indications
are good. Mr.. Kelsey feels satisfied
that a large body of ore will be found
on the property. similar to that in tho
La Ci-ale.
The material for the new tanks al
the Northern Light is beginning to ar
rive and men are at work preparing
the ground and fitting up the mill for
the proposed addition.
Work on the Gladstone shaft, which
was suspended for a few days on ac-
count Of bad air, has been resumed.
The trouble has been remedied and the
shaft is now well ventilated. 1t is now
nearly 200 feet deep. Mr.. Cory is ex-
pected back from New York in few
days.
r. D. Woodruff of Rock Springs,
Wyo.. a brother of DR.. Woodruff of
Northern Light fame, is in Mercur, ex-
aiming the different properties. He
win go to Lion Hill in few days, where
he expects to spend the greater part
of the summer.
AS far as Camp Floyd district is con-
cerned, the new mining law is in force.
Recorder Higgins delivered his books
to the county recorder. at Tooele, on
Tuesday, and all who wish to consult
the district records will have to make
trip to the county seat. If the law is
tested in relation to its constitutional
ity some other district will have TO do
the fighting. The county commissioners
Will have an expense bill of $500 or $500
to meet, at their next sitting. for trans
portation of records. and should the
districts petition for copies. which some
of them probably Will, the expense of
copying them will be considerable. The
Camp Floyd records alone would keep
a good penman busy for two years.
Whether on the whole the law is a good
one or not must he left for the future to
decide. At present a large majority of
the miners are opposed to it.
The report that Captain De Lamar
has an option on the Brickyard is gen.
orally believed. He already owns near
ly half, and Is thoroughly posted as to
the showing in the mine, having kept
cases on it from the start. He is prob
aDiy IN a position TO know It's Iull Vdlue
better than any one else, as besides
knowing all that his co-partners know
about it, his Golden Gate workings
have taken him TO the line of the
Brickyard. What he found there is of
course known only to the initiated few.
The combination viii possibly make as
valuable a property in time as would
the Golden Gate and Mercur, for it is
we'll known that the Brickyard has
large bodies of valuable ore.
superintendent Robinson of the Mer-
cur is at present on a trip to Gold
mountain. near Marysvale. He has
some good property in that vicinity and
some Of the ore from there has been
tested and found to be good teaching
mineral. 1t is probable that Mr..
Robinson will he able to interest some
capitalists to take hold of the property
and make it a good mine.
There Will be no necessity for vast
ing time and money in searching for
the gold vein in Mercur. An expert
with a divining rod is on the ground,
prepared to settle all controversies in
relation to the matter; point out the
barren spots. give the distance dip. and
probable value. All work guaranteed.
