AT THE MERCUR.
What Is Being Done at This Great
Property.

Mercur Mercury: The large new in
cline to tap the ore chutes or zones in
the Mercur has been commenced. 1t
reaches the surface at a point a little
west OF the new assay office, and cuts
through the formation at an angle of
As degrees. 1t will be continued to the
level of the silver ledge, or lower if
values are found to exist at a greater
depth. It was at first intended to make
the incline large enough for two tracks,
but it has been decided that this is I'M
necessary at present.
The incline will tap the veins in the
Ruby and Resolute inclines as it goes
down, ard switches will be run off as
the veins are reached. There are five
different veins or shutes known to eX-
list in this ground, and development
work is being done in all of them. With
improved facilities for hosting, eXplor-
alton will be more rapid.
On the dump between the Nimrod
and RESIDUE ore bins will be stationed
two large boilers and a powerful hoist
ing engine. 1t is also probable that an
air compressor viii be put in and
much OF the work in hard ime viii be
done by machine drills. Below the
railroad will be the blacksmith. shop.
and eventually the business portion of
the mine will be at this point, as the
ere coming from the Ruby and Reso-
lutte will be brought through the new
incline
In the new workings a force of men
are busy eXcaVating along the hillside
and facing up the two veins, which run
paallel along the gulch a distance of
several hundred feet. In both of these
places some rich ore is being taken
out AID shipped to the mill, and all
through the rock spots and seams of
clnnabar can be seen. The i2tention
is to make two large open cuts across
the face of the hill, which will have a
face of at least 20 feet each, and will
be capable alone of supplying the mill
with the necessary 800 tons per day,
should occasion ever require it.
Close above the ore bin a tunnel is
being run into virgin ground east of
the Matte workings, which will tap
the vein in the hollow between Mercur
and the Lulu hills. 1t has been DEM
onstrated that in this part of the mine
the vein follows the contour of the
country dipping north on the north side
OF the Lulu hill. and south on the Mer-
cur hill opposite.
In the Matte but a short distance is
necessary to connect the workings with
the outside world on a level with the
top of the new ore bin and the connec-
ton Will sooa be made.
The Lulu continues to improve, and
with every shift the drifts are being
pushed further into the unexplored
ground, and more ore is being shown
up About 80 tons per day is being
taken out. An incline is being run
north on the vein. to connect with the
new workings on the Nimrod. Taken
all together an immense amount of de-
veloDment work is being done in the
old bonanza, and every foot of ground
is showing up values unsus-
pected for years by the owners of the

spent several days on the west dip, in
company with Mr.. Andrews, the new
manager and it is probable that a new
era of activity will soon be inauguFated
at the La Cigale as a consequence of
the visit.
Daniel Eyer was in camp this week,
examining the Eyer group of claims,
near the Manning mill. 1t is reported
that the tunnel has reached the vein,
which crops to the surface some dis
lance higher on the hill, and Mr.. Eyer
is satisfied he will be able to develop a
paying property.
The Daisy has made its first ship
ment of ore, which is also the first from
the west dip. The shipment Melted
close to S., 600. Everything on the prop
erty is in good condition, and semi
monthly shipments will be made here
after.
s. H ellison, well known among the
old timers, the discoyerer of gilsonite,
spent a few days in camp this week,
the guest of his son Lee We under
stand Mr.. ellison has been interested in
mining operations in Georgia for some
years.
The Sacramento has declared its US
ual monthly dividend of $1,000. payable
on the 18th, which will bring the total
amount paid in dividends up TO $751;
600.
The excavations and ma sorry for the
addition to the Golden Gate mill are
practically completed. and the struc-
tural steel will, be on the ground in
few days.
Will Orr, the western agent for the
McArthur-Forest company, is in Pine
canyon, starting up the cyanide mill at
the Star mine.
The Ophir Hill mill will turn out
thousand tons of concentrates this
month, which is an exceptionally good
record for the property.
The Geyser- Marion made its semi
monthly cleanup this week, and a
shipment of cyanides will be made to-
day.
w. G. Williams. who owns some
claims east of Box Springs, has COM
menced work on the property.

hesion. The German empire OF today
arose out of q stronghold need OF
union and of a common head, and II
reared itself upon the basis of love OF
fatherland.
II am firmly determined to preserve,
with all my strength, the work of my

so dear to US. This shall only be
able to do if we succeed in maintaining
our prestige with our neighbors. To
this end the harmony and cooperation
of all the German race and all German
individuals IS necessary.
I rejoice to see how beautifully
Mayence has developed. You may be

Emperor William then shook hands
with the burgomaster, amid the cheers
of the multitude. and rode off to the
reviewing ground.
Considerable excitement was caused
here last evening by the arrest of five
Frenchmen, who were making anti

NORTH of Euraka Gnlch.

Eureka, Aug. 2O.-The continued and
increasing activity of the great mines
of the Tintic district, with the almost
invariable certainty of success which
has attended the development of prom
ising prospects located in the lime belt,
is beginning to attract the attention
and capital of investors 10 the ground
lying just north OF the Beck and Key
stone mines, it now being a demon
strated fact that one of the greatest
ore bodies ever opened up in the Beck
is in its north workings at a depth of
500 feet, a fact that thoroughly dispels
the idea so long held by some mimi &
men that the ore bodies did not con-
tinue north Of the Eureka gulch. This
idea is now no longer tenable, and is
giving increased assurance and conf
dence in that portion of the district
Not much development work outside of
assessment work has been done, but the
indications are very favorable for a
very rapid development of this section
before the year has passed.

viii not be entirely dependent on Ophir
creek for their water supply In the
Wonder and Hecla water was found
while the work of development was in
progress. Later on a stream was
struck in the Gladstone and although
the pumps took out as high as 10000
gallons per day, it was found impossi-
BILE to keep the stream down so the
men could work. At the Hillside a
good stream of water has been found,
and in the lower levels of the Sacra-
mento there is water present How
much can be developed is a question
for the future, but it is suggestive
of the possibility of large streams be-
ing tapped as depth is reached and a
Likelihood of supplying the needs of
the mills, leaving the pipe line to fur

THE COPPER KING.
It Sends In a Shipment of Fifteen
Tons.

A shipment of Is tons of ore was
completed yesterday from the Copper
King prospect, just below Brighton re-
sort, in Cottonwood canyon. 1t is a
promising proposition, in which the
vein has been developed in three places
to the depth of so TO 80 feet. and found
to be foot and a half to three feet
wide. Samples have given good values
in copper and gold, but rather low in
silver.
The Mountain Lake company's
ground, south of Brighton's, is also a.
very good prospect. A blowout of ore
on the top of the mountain has been
developed to the depth of 80 feet, and
samples of copper and gold ore have
been taken out. The values are so en-
couraging that a tunnel, already 600
feet in length, is being pushed steadily
forward, and viii cut the ledge at the
vertical depth of 300 feet. Colonel Nick

Mississippi, the story is told Of his
early life as a slave and his devotion
to the family of his master. The trou-
bles of the civil war impoverished the
once opulent master of B. K. Bruce.
After the war the old slave owner died
and others of the family passed away,
until finally there were left only the
widow of Bruce's former master and
her young daughter. They were alone
in the world, unused to its hardships,
and with no means of earning live
lihood But their former slave remain
ed faithful to them, and from his
scanty earnings a generous share was
set apart each week for their increas-
ing needs. This thoughtful providence
continued throughout Mr.. Bruce's life.
As his success broadened and his
means increased he added to the al
lowance for the maintenance of his
cld-time mistress and her daughter.
and so delicate, so modest and so gra-
cious were his ministrations of this
sacred charity that they could not
have been repealed even if the benef-
Charles had been able TO get along
without them. Bruce's great hearted
ness is SO noble and conspicuous that
few instances in history compare
with it.
