MERcUR MINING NEWS.
Large Hoist Being Put In at the
Mercur Mine.

Mercur, Sept. 22.-The Mercur COM
pany is putting in large hoist at the
mouth of the new incline, and as soon
as this is completed the work viii be
pushed ahead as rapidly as three snlIls
can do it. This incline will open up
the new veins discovered below the
present workings, and will be. con-
tinued down to the lowest point Where
gold can be found. In the new work
ings on the Resolute the showing Is
excellent and a vast body of ore has
been uncovered. The Lulu is showing
up better than any other part OF the
mine, the faces of the drifts carrying
higher average values than have ever
been found before in the workings.
Three shifts are at work on the Ro-
yer, and the shaft is being rapidly sunk
from the upper vein. 1t is expected
that somewhere between so and 100
feet the second vein should be encoun-
tered. The experience in other mines
has been that the second vein is the
richer, and it is here Colonel Hebron
expects to do most of the work.
The Daisy made another shipment OF
cyanides Wednesday, which will run
close TO $1,000. Everything on the
ground is prospecting, and the directors
feel highly pleased with the results of
their labors.
On the Omaha, ore has been found in
three places. An assay taken few
days ago from one of the dumps
showed values of $3.50.

the workings from the bottom of the 450-
foot working shaft in this property have
made connections with the incline which
was driven on the vein from the old work
ings in the mine. The ore from the mine
will be hoisted to the surface through the
shaft, and now that connections have
been made, the air will be better. while
the work of blocking out mammoth ore
bodies can go steadily on. The mill at
the mine is practically completed, and
the electric power for the plant will be
turned on about the 18th of October.

Marguerite and Montreal.

Work is steadily progressing in the
development Of the Marguerite and
Montreal copper properties in Rocky
district, not Iar from Milford.
In the former the new working shaft
has reached a depth of 20 feet, the
bottom being in a fine body of ore,
from which average samples have been
taken and sent to this city for assay,
which showed metallic values of As
per cent copper, 81 ounces silver and
SLIGO in gold to the ton, and it is be-
lieved by the owners of this prOmis-
ing property that with greater depth
the mine will make a showing of high
grade ore such as will astonish the ma
tiveS.
At the Montreal everything is pro-
crossing finely, and it is learned that
in the workings of this property. on
an extension of the Marguerite vein or
ledge, a four-foot body Of mineral has
been uncovered that goes higher than
anything yet found in the mine, from
which ore is being taken in carload
shipments which goes from 16 to 80 per
cent copper to the ton, 20 ounces silver
and SO to $40 in gold.
From all indications it will not be
long now before these two mines will
be making quite a stir in mining cir

LETTER FROM DAWSON CITY.
Fulton Haight Is Well Pleased With
the Conditions In Klondike.

Fulton Haight, a well known mining
man of Utah and Idaho, writes from
Dawson City. under date of Aug. 20, to
Colonel Nick Treweek of this city as
follows:
Dear Friend-You are, no doubt,
aware that 1 am in this place, having
changed my mind about going into
British Columbia looking for quartz,
and am very much pleased that l did
so, for l find thissectiOn to be less eX-
aggerated regarding its wealth of gold
than any new mining camp L ever saw.
1T is true that Bonanza and Edo
RADIO creeks are at present the prlncl-
pal producers; yet there are many
other creeks within a radius of 90 miles
of this place which are producing some
gold, and there are prospects there
which may turn out rich by next
spring.
"At this place all creek claims are
developed and worked in the winter
time on account Of the melting ice in
the summer. There are a few promis-
ing claims on Hunker, Sulphur, Do
1ninion, Quartz and other creeks.
There are about 10000 people in this
section. Dawson has a population of
about $4,000. 1t is great town, COM
posed of many saloons, gambling
houses and restaurants and supply
stores in abundance. If 1 should at
tempt in this letter to give you an ac-
count OF what I have seen since l
crossed the White Pass it would take
me days to write it uD so you would
understand it ali. Therefore, will only
add that this is a rich country, and
much is being added to its richness by
the development of bar and hill claims
this year, which are proving rich and
very extensive, and they viii prove
much more lasting than the creek dig
~. sl9e
some y miles from here, which believe
Will add very much to my bank ac-
count. 1t is not fully developed as
yet. but the claims next to me are
making $50 a day to the rocker, and
they are only about half worked at
that. These claims are both summer
and winter diggings.
IF I do not get all want I will re-
main in here, as ] have full winter
supply OF provisions of all kinds; also
every kind Of clothing needed here.
AS TO the climate here, accounts of it
are grossly exaggerated. Men who
have wintered here say they do not
notice the cold any more than in
Montana In fact, all the shafts are
not covered, and all windlassing is done
out of doors. The cold is so dry that
feet, merely. The snow only gets
about two feet deep and it is granu-
lated or like frost and one can wade
right through it. The people here at
present dress the same as they do in
any mining camp in Utah, Idaho or
Montana at this season of the year.
Your humble servant hardly ever
wears a coat, and in helping develop
my claim work in my undershirt. 1
will be off again tomorrow. Let me
hear from you and give me the news of
$he old town. Give my regards to all.

MOORE OF THE MARTIN CASE
HUSBAND OF MRS. MARTIN
ASKS FOR A DIVORCE.
Complaint Filed In the District Court
at Provo Alleging Cruel Treat
ment and Slanderous Remarks.

Provo, Sept 22.-The Herald today
asks why there is no Moore of those
Martin cases?" AS an answer the fol-
lowing case was today filed:
Herman S. Martin VS.. Edith 1. Mar
tin, in which plaintiff asks the court
to forever dissolve the bonds of mat
rimony now existing between the Two,
and alleges in justification that ever
since his marriage with defendant she
has treated him in a cruel and inhu
man manner, and particularly that on
the 22d of June, 1898, she filed COM
plant against him, charging him,
among other things, with having COM
mitted, on the 25th day of May and the
21st of June of this year, and at var
ious other times, the crime Of adultery
with one Daisy Moore. That the de-
PENDANT knew said charge was I'M
true. and thereafter admitted the
charge to be false, and promised the
plaintiff that she would publish its fall
sity to the world. That ever since the
dismissal of said complaint, to the
great humiliation of plaintiff, defend
ant falsely and maliciously maintained
that said charge of adultery was true.
That on or about Aug. IS, while plain
tiff was absent in California visiting
his mother the said defendant en-
tered r. D. Swasey's bank, where
plaintiff is employed as cashier, and
said to Swasey: Herman will never
come back to Provo; he has stolen
funds belonging to your bank. and has
disposed of notes belonging to you for
his own use. 1 have the evidence. that
if he should return, ! could send him
to the penitentiary, and if he comes
back l will do it.
That on or about the 18th of August
said defendant sent a written state
ment to plaintiffs mother, charging
him with having committed crime, and
warned her not to let him return to
Provo or he would be prosecuted.
On these grounds Mr.. Martin asks for
a divorce and costs of suit.
