Lousy With Gold.

]. NJ Billingsly, who has been doing
contract work in the development of
the Golden Star property, on Gold
mountain. whose arrival in the city
on Monday was duly chronicled in
these columns. brought with him some
samples of ore from the Blue Bird
tunnel which are fairly covered with
native gold, and the appearance of
these samples would Indicate that the
mine was destined to develop into a
magnificent producer
The face of the Blue Bird tunnel is
in a fine body of quartz, 90 inches of
which is shipping ore, while the
balance of the ledge is good milling
mineral. The tunnel is now in dis
lance of 200 feet. and the ore that has
been taken out in acquiring this depth
will more than pay for the cost of the
work
The Golden Star has over % tons of
shipping ore on the dump and as soon
as the roads become passable this high
grade stuff will be marketed.
Mr.. Bill!ngsly will return to the mine
within a few days and resume work
in the extension of the tunnel
The deep SHOWS in Sold Mountain
district is having its effect on the min
ing industry, and not much activity
can be expected until the warm weather
dissolves the beautiful and the roads
become firm once again.

1t has been claimed in certain circles
that the failure OF Captain De Lamar
to take up his option on the Mercur
mine would give this property a black
eye. Subsequent events, however, have
not borne out this prediction. as the
stock of the company is stronger today
and it is selling at higher figure than
II did day or two before it was
known what the captain would do in
the matter. In fact. as soon as it was
given out that the bond had been sur
rendered, there was a hustle for the
stock from the outside, and investors
who were willing before to buy up
the stock as a speculation, are now
corralling all that they can get of it
as an investment, and it is believed
that II will not be long before this Sc
curlty Will once again touch the $3.50
mark, ard this condition of affairs is
largely due to the faith and confidence
that the stockholders and the public at
large have in the present management,
as II Is we'll known that it will do
what it says it will, and it has lately
been given out that it is the intention
of the company to enlarge its reduction
works, which means an increase in
the amount of dividends to be paid in
the future.
1t has been currently reported on the
streets, and believed by many, that
when Cautain De Lamar left for
Europe last week, he carried in his
inside pocket a bond on the control of
the stock of the Mercur company. This
rumor is without foundation, however,
and The Herald is authorized to deny
the report, and to say that the COM
pany is free from any entanglements
of this nature, and also that the heavy
stockholders would not part with their
holdings at a less price than the
amount specified in the De Lamar
bond, which was allowed to lapse,
viz: $3.50 a share.
The Herald is also requested to state
that the stockholders of the company,
who put their stock in the keeping of
the company pending the action taken
by De Lamar regarding the option, can
reclaim the same by applying at the
company's office and relinquishing the
receipt given them when the stock was
put up.
The management of the Mercur is
now making the necessary arrange
-ments for the enlargement of the mill
at Manning to plant of 300 tons daily
capacity A new crusher is to be put
in, and new tanks added, while the
old tanks will be gone over and the
smaller ones removed, and the 15-ton
tanks will BE improved so that they
can be unloaded from the bottom.
The stockholders are counting on an
increase in dividends as soon as they
are completed, and the most knowing
of these hint that as early as in May
the company will be able to declare a
dividend of 20 cents a share, and that
this win be the regular and correct
thing from that time on.
President John Dern returned home
last night from an inspection of the
mine and mill, while Treasurer George
Dern will go out this morning for the
purpose of making shipment of cyan
ides and also to get the time for the
pay roll.

WILL GET THE MARION MILL.
The Backyard Company Negotiating
With the Geyser- Marion.

1t was given out by the initiated
yesterday that the officers of the
Brickyard company were negotiating
with the management of the Geyser-
Marion with a view of securing q lease
on the Marion mill for the treatment
of Brickyard ores.
While this report was not officially
confirmed, it was learned that it was
virtually correct and that there was
scarcely any doubt but that within
the next few days the Brickyard peo-
pie would be in possession of the Mar
ion plant, and that within a month or
more it would be on a dividend-paying
basis.
The Marion mill has a capacity of
so tons of ore daily, and it is admir-
ably located for the use of the Brick
yard company, as it is only about 200
feet from the workings of this prop
erty, and with a tramway in opera
ton the ores from the Brickyard could
be transported to the mill by gravity.
The lease on the plant. it is stated, will
include the right to purchase, and also
the use of the water owned by the
Geyser- Marion company, and as there
are fine bodies of ore blocked out in
the Brickyard and everything is ready
for active and effective work. it is be-
lieved the deal will be consummated
and that the Brickyard company will
be grinding away on its own ores
within the next few days.
In case the enterprise as above out
lined is carried TO a successful consun-
nation, it is understood that the Gey-
ser-Marion management will immedi-
ately enlarge the Geyser mill by in
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-03-03

tons. This increase can easily be made
and at a small expense, as all of the
necessary power and equipment is now
on the ground, and by the concentra-
ton of the works under one roof a
saving in time, labor and chemicals
will be effected.
The Geyser- Marion is one of the most
popular investment stocks on the mar
ket since the consolidation. and there
is good reason to believe that the COM
pany will soon be able TO begin the
payment of regular dividends
1t is claimed that in the Brickyard
enough ore can be taken out in doing
development work alone TO keep the
mill in operation for an indefinite per-
iod without doing a foot of stopping.

SUNDAY RACING.
A WHEELMAN WHO SAYS IT
MUST BE HAD,
If the League of American Wheel
men Will Not Sanction Such
Sport, it Will Have to Suffer the
Consequences.

Chicago. March 2.-The Chronicle
this morning says: Sunday racing
must be had at any cost If the League
of American Wheelmen will not sane
ton such sport. it will have to suffer
the consequences. California and the
other states of the west that fought for
reforms cannot be snubbed, and Will
have their rights"
That is the way F. II. Kerrigan,
chief consul of California, and hereto
fore prominent in league circles, sum-
married. the demands made by the ma
jority of the delegates to the recent
national assembly. Amendments for
reform We're sidetracked by the New
York division. which could not appre-
ciate the greatness of the storm that
was brewing to dismember the organ
izGtiOn. Mr.. Kerrigan has just re-
turned from New York. where he
tried in vain to get President Potter
TO commit himself. He is en- route to
San Francisco, where he will report
the fruitlessness of his mission TO his
fellow delegates.
Il could not get anything satisfac-
tory ou- of Potter" said Mr.. Kerrigan-
There was a chance to repair the
breach. but evidently the chief official
of the league does not care TO embrace
it, I suggested that the chairman Of
the racing board be instructed not to
notice our infringement of the rules on
Sunday. but he would not promise to
comply. / do not think the league as
represented by the minority down in
New York will give US what we want
if We depend upon them Certain. the
president of the league, from what .
can learn. will not go back on his
henchmen.
7 canot Just say what California
will do in this matter. We are not
over hasty in that part of the country,
but when our rights are concerned we
will make a bitter fight before we give
up. Personally 1 think that the L. A
w has lost 90 per cent of its popular
ity in the west and only a leader is
needed TO point out the way and split
will ensue. OF course, 1 await con-
centrated action on the part OF our d.
vision.
The assembly has been decried re-
peatedIy and 1 think I am honest in
saving that all the business which took
days to discuss could have been trans
acted in a few hours. 1t was case
of a few handles from Broadway try
ing to run things. with the result
which might be expected from the
of their pigmy brains In
spite of the vast majority asking for
local option on Sunday racing and the
of professionals into assOci-
ate membership the cause of reform
was lost. California will fall into line
in opposition to the l. A. W. when the
time comes for action.

Of Gold Creek. concerning which so
much has been written and said of
late.
The object of Mr.. Diem's visit to this
city is TO make d test run on Rescue
ores with the Ellis concentrator, and
also with the Bell amalgamator and
concentration. and if it is found that
either of these machines will save the
values in the ore it is more than likely
that the company Will install one of
them at their Nevada mine in con-
nection with the ten-stamp mill that
is already on the property.
This stamp mill has given excellent
satisfaction as far as the free milling
ores of the mine are concerned, but it
has been found that nearly half of the
values exist in the form of sulphides
which cannot be saved on the plates,
necessitating the addition of machinery
for the recovery of these values in the
shape of concentrates
large amount of ore has been
blocked out in the Rescue properties,
the assay values of which range from
$3.50 up TO $500 and even $4cO in gold
to the ton, while the average of the
mineral is about $40 to the ton
1t is the intention of the company to
develop the property this season in a
most thorough manner, and there is
plenty of means now on hand for this
work as the recent assessment has
been nearly all paid in. and it is be-
heved that none of the stock will have
to be sold as delinquent
A force of men will be sent out with
in few days. and it is hoped that ar
rangements will soon be made so that
the mill can be started up with its
new equipment for the saving of the
sulphides.
1t IS the understanding that the Res
cue is located in a country that is
richly mineralized, and it is antici-
pated that there will be a great deal
of activity in that region during the
coming summer.

A Good Suggestion.

To the Editor OF The Herald:
In the Hot Springs mining district
the miners have provided in a section
of their bylaws that a copy of the
location notice shall be fled with the
recorder of the Hot Springs mining
district within 80 days from the date of
location. and the recorder shall retain
the fling for future reference
Now these filings are kept in one
place and the books in another so that
there is no danger from alterations or
fire; for if the books were burned up
we could fall back on the notices and
vice versa.
Still, how would it do to provide that
these notices shall go to the county
recorder, not for record, as that would
increase the burden of the prospector.

safe keeping. J. J.sSNELL. y S

The bulls and the bears failed to
exhibit any activity in the pit of the
mining exchange yesterday. and as a
result there was but a small amount
of business transacted on the floor of
the institution.
The stock market so far this week
has been exceedingly dull, at least this
has been the case on the board, and
no special activity has been noted so
far on the curb.
The listed stocks were very fiat yes
terday. the only security in this class
that made any gains being Bullion
Beck, which advanced to $40 in the
bidding, which is a pickup of 40 cents
over the quotations of the previous
day. This advance is accounted for
by the fact that the property of the
company is looking in magnificent
shape. and also because it is believed
that a so cent or dollar dividend will
be paid by the company this month.
Daly-West was also quite strong, but
the stock was stationary at the clos
ing figures of the day before. Nam
moth continued to decline and the
stock recorded sales at S2.0215 The
balance of the regularly boarded Sc
curities just about held their own or
failed to note any changes
The unlisted stocks were practically
ignored. and at the close they hung
TO the quotations of the previous call.
Swansea and South Swansea were
firm at these figures, but inactive,
Northern Light advanced TO 81 cents
in the bidding; but this bid was later
on Withdrawn. Richmond & Anaconda
chronicled a small sale. but this was
not a board lot. Buckeye was sighted.
while Sunbeam failed to move up or
down.
The lack of interest taken in the ex-
change is but a reflex of the feeling
of the people Of this city in relation TO
the mining stock business and cannot
be attributed to any doubt as to the
merit Of the mining properties offered
on the floor of the exchange; and, as
long as Salt Lake citizens are mdif-
ferent to the advantages that are Of
fered them in this respect, just so long
will the business in the pit be limited
and the call lacking in interest
The transactions of the day were as
follows:

500 Richmond & Anaconda at 21s

Total sales, 400 shares.
