INTO the greatest gold camp in the
world Mr.. Mc1ntire has hung to Mer-
cur through thick and thin. and as he
has seen it grow from a little hamlet
10 one OF the most substantial towns in
the west, he should know what he is
talking about when he makes a pre-
diction regarding its future
The officers and stockholders of the
Gold Dust mine, at Mercur. are feeling
highly elated over the showing in this
property, and especially so since the
visit of W. S. Mccormick and Judge
Street to the mine the first of the week.
at which time sample of cinnabar ore
was taken from the workings which
gave an assay value of $50 in gold to
the ton. From Mr.. Mccormick it is
learned that there is now enough ore
in sight in the mine to justify the cree
ton of a mill, and that the probabili-
ties are that one VIII be erected by
the company this season

from Eureka yesterday Mr.. Beck
states that the mine is looking well.
with fair bodies of ore in sight. and
that at the present time he is working
force of IL men and taking out about
10 tons of milling and shipping ol~
daily. The second-class mineral will
be put through the Sioux mill. at Rob-
inson, while it is the intention of Mr.
Beck to make a consignment of the
fret 10 c -.
as from this on he will haul his own ore
from the mine to the railroad and to
the mill.

A dispatch from Carson City, New,
says: This week a rich strike was I'M
covered in the Buckeye mines in the
Pine Nut group. The news reached
town today. 1t means money for the
owners and the whole community. The
courier says the channel has been
found. If this is correct, it means the
opening of an immense mining region,
in which such men as Lane and
Mackay and others are interested. The
discovery of the channel means the I'M
covering of untold wealth. The strike
was tested and found to be very rich
and some large nuggets were taken
out. The worth of the strike has not
been ascertained as yet, but already
100 feet of auriferous rock has been ex-
posed and neither edge has been
reached. Hermann Zadig, a mining
man of San Francisco, and w. r. Hofer
leave for the scene tomorrow. They will
return Sunday.
From all accounts the Sacramento
mine, at Mercur, must be a wonder, as
there is seemingly no limit to the ore
deposits of this property. In several
places in this mine there are breasts of
ore exposed that are from 80 TO 100 feet
thick, and The Herald is informed that
in the upper workings. in what is called
the Mercur vein, the company is now
looking for another footwall. as it has
been found that the block lime, which
was always considered as the footwall
of the ore body, carries gold values
ranging from 81 to $50 to the ton, and it
is hard to tell the depth to which this
deposit extends before the true footWall
is reached. In the lower workings, in
what is called the porphyry vein, next
to the silver vein, the ore assays from
s. to 500 in gold. The Sacramento is
piece1of property. and like
the Mercur. it is springing surprises on
the company from time TO time. and
the management really is in ignorance
as to the magnitude of the ore deposits,
although the workings have already ex-
posed many thousands of good milling
ore that can be worked at a good profit.
