When Pat Ryan returned from Gold
Mountain district on Tuesday of this
week, he brought with him the pleas
ing intelligence that in the lower tun-
nel being driven for the development OF
the Golden Star mine a fine body of
gold ore. more than a foot in width.
had been disclosed. and that in some
of the quartz free gold was quite plen-
tiful, the mineral being fairly alive
with the yellow metal. while the indi-
cations were that the entire chute was
shipping ore.
A hundred feet above, in the old
workings. there is a splendid showing
Of mineral, from which quite a number
of shipments of high grade stuff have
been made during the past few months.
and il was to prove the permanency
and continuity of the Vein that the
lower tunnel was started, and The Her
aid is informed that the ore was found
just where i should be, according to
the surface showing, the vein being
true on its dip, which would lead to the
belief that the deposit would go TO the
deep, thus insuring the value and fu-
ture O. the mine.

Mr.. Ryan left for the south few days
ago, for the purpose of doing the as

group, in Cold Mountain, on which he
has d bond and option on a seven
eighths interest. the other interest be-
ing held by Judge Wallace. who. it was
stated, was unwilling to recognize MI

region that has long escaped the notice
it deserved at the hands of mining men.
On his return trip, Mr. Nichols took
in the camp of State Line. which. he
states, is district of excellent indica-
tons, and one which bids fair to make
its mark in the mining world In fact,
he states that it has all the earmarks
Of developing into a great camp, and
he will continue further Investigations
there, with the hope that he will be
able to identify himself with the camp
at an early day, and with this in view
he wiz leave for the south again the
first of the week.
Mr.. Nichols states that the reports
relative to a mill for State Line are all
true, and that the site is already grad
ed, while the foundations are now be-
ing put in. and the machinery is now
being hauled from the railroad to the
camp.
According to Mr.. Nichols. the outlook
for the camp is very hopeful, and the
people there are feeling much encour-

Park City, Nov. 10.-The cleanup at
the Marsac refinery was finished last
night and now the mill is completely
closed down in all departments. Tine
fires were drawn from under the boil

The thirty-fourth monthly SILVER
King dividend of $31 $50 was PAID To-
day. The employees of the King re-

The Anchor also paid today.
Although returns from the recent
Creole shipment have not yet been re-

are sufficiently informed that the value
of the ore is satisfactory and warrants
future shipments.
David Keith, who held a trust deed for
the George Pearson mining property

of the property today. The deed was
given on a loan of $1,000, which Pear

A NEW sMELTINe TRUST.
The Official Lead Quotation" Given
a BLACK Eve.

Denver, Nov 10.-A new shelter
trust is in process of formation. At a
meeting held in this city the leading
smelling plants Of this state were rep
resented, and also the smelters of
Utah Montana and Washington, to-
gether with the companies recently or
ganized for business in British Column
bia, which are closely related with the
industry on this side of the line.
The meeting was only informal, and
as none Of the smelters or their agents
are inclined to talk, nothing can be
learned as to how definite the plans of
the proposed new trust are, or how
far they have matured.
The new trust has two main purposes
in view. First, to confine Ihe chemical
plants using cyanide, chlorination or
mixed processes to gold ores which
average $40 and less per ton, thus di-
verting to the shelters all material Of
a higher value. This division of the
field is expected to do away with too
sharp competition.
The second purpose in view is to cut
down the fees of the ore samplers,
which in many of the districts stand
betWee the producers of ore and the
shelters. The sampler affords a cash
market to the miner, whether he be
leaser or owner, regardless of the size
of his shipment. 1t is, therefore, next
to impossible to rule the sampler out,
but if the trust can limit its profits
more margin will be left for the smelt-
, ing companies.
In order to temper the new pro-
gramme to the backs of the miners it
is proposed to do away with the official
lead quotation in the New York market
and to give the owners of mines the
benefit of the exchange or cash carload
figure, which is sent out each day on
the authority of the New York Metal
Exchange.

history of the Mercur, and with the fact
that the mine is looking better today

of good milling ore in sight, sufficient,
in fact, to sustain the payment of divi-
den6s for years TO come.
The equipment of the property is also
in excellent shape, While as for the
management, it is eminently satisfac-
tory to nearly every. stakeholder.
With the payment of this dividend,
the company viii have distributed $780,

HAzENv1LLE COPPER DEPOSITS
Excitement in Wyoming Over the
Surprise Rhine.

Douglas, Wyo., Nov. 9.-Excitement
in the Hazenville copper mining camp,
ten miles from Douglas, has been in
creased to fever heat This morning
Chief Engineer Berry, of the Elkhorn
railroad, accompanied by three mining
experts, DR.. McGillcuddy, Professor
Boyd, of the Rapid City School of
Mines, and D. c. Boley of Deadwood,
arrived here in a special car, and drove
TO HazenviHe copper mines, and made
a complete and thorough examination
of the Surprise claim and the claims
owned by the railroad officials. They
have just returned, and state the camp
is a winner, and they are more than
pleased with the result. as it is even
better than they were led to expect.
Professor Boyd, the Black Hills min
ing expert, stated that the Surprise
claim was a wonderful prospect. and
that the rock is the same as that found
in the famous copper regions of Su-
perior, in which the great finds of cop
per have been made; that there is no
doubt but that the ore will improve
with depth. He had no hesitation in
saying it is a mine, and that Douglas
could rightfully claim a great copper
mine.
A new shaft will be sunk at once, and
machinery procured without delay. The
excitement is increasing, and teams
were being engaged for early this
morning for the mines, and number
Of people will go out to hold down a

propositions to be found in Tintic dis
trict, and the mine is raising daily in
the estimation of the public at large.
