lowing particulars were obtained: For
several months development work in
the Thunderer tunnel has been dill
gently prosecuted on a ledge that gave
varying results when assays were made,
but all showed the presence of gold As
soon as the vein began to show good
values the tunnel was locked and the
men at work allowed no one to enter.
A chamber was excayated at point
several hundred feet from the mouth of
the tunnel, in which to sort and sack
the ore, and, as an extra precaution
against intrusion, another door was put
up and locked. Since this work was
done, frequent samples of the ore have
been tested, and values running as
high as $500 TO the ton in gold have
been obtained. The ore is said to be
OF character to yield readily to the
cyanide process. and it is asserted that
Mr.. Curtis has leased a portion of the
Crescent concentration, in which he
proposes to put in a plant to work the
ore. At any rate. once q week, so sacks
OF it are being hauled to the concen-
traitor and unloaded in one of the rooms
or that structure. The last 80 sacks
We're brought down Thursday after
noon. The Records informant states
that Mr. Curtis undoubtedly has a big
thing, and that his discovery will yet
prove Park City to be a gold as well
as silver producing camp of the first
magnitude

MERCUR NOTES.
Golden Gate Mill Will Be Completed
By February 18th.

Mercur Jan. 1.-THE Golden Gate
mill is reaching the finishing stages,
and considerable of the machinery is
now in place. The work will all be
completed in about three weeks, SO it
is safe to say that by Feb. Is every
thing will be ready for running. There
have been many delays through the
failure of the railroads to get the ma
terial in on time, and the extreme cold
weather has seriously impeded the
workmen in their labors.
1t is possible that Mr.. Brown will
have a great deal of work in this camp
before long. The Sunshine people, the
Sacramento and the La Cigale are only
waiting to see the operation of the
roasters before placing their orders.
The Telluride Power company is now
in & position to send a current of cleo
tricity to Mercur at almost any time
AS a test it has run the current as far
as Pleasant Grove. 1t would now be
putting up the poles in camp, but for
the fact that it has been unable to
obtain the necessary poles TO carry the
wire from the mill through the town
The company viii probably be able to
commence that work this week.
A party of men have been at work
on one of the springs above town, de-
veloping water for the Golden Gate
mill. They have succeeded in increas-
ing the stream to two miners inches.

the doctors took seven stitches, and an
other struck him on the hip. The ac-
cident was caused by Mr.. Reese's own

chances that he might have avoided.
DaLamar correspondence Pioche Record
The tunnel on the Zip Coon and Gold
Eagle claims has cut the ledge. 1t is over
four feet in thickness and looks promising.
Drifting to the south and to the north IS
now going on and we hope soon to report
a development of ore. There is little
doubt but that the north drift viii cut the
ore body which was left in the bottom of
the shaft when the tunnel work was
undertaken.

and has taken out several pieces of ore

great believer in the possibilities of that

will turn out as much ore eventually as

in $50 feet and will be run $50 feet further.

For the last 100 feet the rock has been
tight. but from present indications the
ground is getting easier and the work
will progress more rapidly in the future.
The ore which was found on the surface
on top of the mountain is remarkably rich
in mineral. and it is to strike the ledge

tunneled. Mr.. l. r. Browning, the local
manager of the mine, estimates that the
tunnel will have TO be extended $50 feet
further before the ledge will be struck.

WORD FROM JUNEAU.
Klondike as Viewed By An Old Park
CITY Resident

Oty resident.
Robert Burns of this city has re-
ceived a letter from his old-time friend,
NJ. H Pape, late of Park City, who is
on his road to the Klondike gold fields.
The letter is dated Juneau, Alaska,
Jan. ,.
Pape says it is a "god-send to re-
ceive letter from a friend in a coun-
try like this
There are over 20 saloons running
openly in Juneau. and under the law.
Every drink of whisky sold has to be
struggled into the country. Whisky
costs % cents a drink and Pape, who
should know. says it is pretty poor
quality at that; but he sees a great
fortune in the saloon business for men
who have enough to embark in it. A
o-the- gallon bottle of poor stuff
brings 1925 to $3.50, according to the
nerve of the barkeeper. Beer says
Pape, is Is cents a glass. and the glass
is a very small one, while Telephone
cigars are scarce at Is cents, and high
ly priced"
He believes the big rush to the gold
fields will begin about March l, and
from that time on there will, according
to his belief, be a hot time in the
old town" The country is fairly flooded
with men. and for this reason wages
have gone down to a plane that is al
most disheaTtening, when one considers
the price one has to pay for susten-
ance.
Carpenters in Juneau now get but 40
cents per hour-a great falling off in
the price paid a year or so age. when
IS to IS a day was not considered at
all eXorbitant-indeed, quite moderate
This, Pape says is due to the fact
that the country is flooded with men
who are waiting for the river TO open.
L saw says Mr.. Pape, who was
contractor and builder at Park City,
" few days ago a couple of men who
had just landed from Dawson City.
They told me that they met a great
many people going in that direction,
but l judged from the tone of their
conversation that they were not en-
tirely satisfied.
I learned this, however, from them,
and 1 believe they told the truth:
Flour is 81 per pound-that is. $50 for
5O-pound sack in Dawson; whisky,
which, in the estimation of some peo-
pie. comes next to the staff of life is
81 a drink. 1 have every reason to
believe, despite what some people may
say to the contrary, that if relief does
not come in some way, and that very
soon, starvation must come to a great
many. There is no doubt great many
people are interested in sending
gold-seekers out this way, but I would
advise all to be very careful. 1t is a
pretty good saying that. All is not gold
that glitters,' and many a man who
has left his home in pursuit of the
Goddess Fortune will, in the near
future. awake to discover that he has
been chasing, not only a wild goose
but willie -the-wisp of a most de-
lusive nature. Dogs are, they say, at
a premium, but not such ours as Cal
leaZZi used TO take out to the crenla-
tory. A man is man in America or
any other place in the world, and dog
in Dawson City is a dog, not a mere
cur"

work is being done in the development
of the property, and that a shaft is

Mr.. Kellogg was the man who sunk
the 750-foot drill hole in the East

nent shaft. and he reiterates the state
nlent made more than q year ago. that
before quitting work he several times
found a~senicai ore in the bit of his
driI:. when hoisted to the surface, and
he is confident that an extension OF
the Golden Gate ore zones was about
to be encountered when work was dis
continued.
OF one thing, however, Mr.. Kellogg
is certain, and that is that in sinking
the drill hole, ne developed 4 water
