George H. Dern, one of the directors
of the Mercur company. informs The
Herald that there was no truth what
ever in the report published in morn

company would likely build mill at
the mine at Mercur, as the company
had no such intention, nor had the
matter even been discussed of late by

Captain Gaines interesting letter to
the governor is herewith given:
Headquarters First Troop Utah Vol.
Cavalry, Camp Merritt, San Fran
cisco, June ID, 1898.
My Dear Governor:
/ promised to write you occasionally
that you might kr.ew how the troop is
getting or. / am happy to say that
so far everything has been quiet, which
means that the men are working hard
and keeping out of trouble. They are
becoming accustomed to the discipline,
taking on a soldierly bearing and sur
prising everyone with their horseman-
ship. We are very pleasantly located,
having block of ground to ourselves,
and the camp being an Independent
one under my command, / am able to
run it in my own way.
l have seen a copy of the Tribune
of last Friday in which Camp Merritt
is pictured as a pestilential spot, where
filth and immortality have full sway. /
Will not pretend to defend the entire
camp, but l want you to know that so
N II as the cavalry camp is concerned,
81 he story is untrue in every detail
From the day we arrived l have been
very strict about keeping people out
of camp, so strict in fact that the men
have thought it a hardship. But the
men had their work to do and they
could not do it if they were surrounded
by the crowds OF people who are ever
waiting to come in. No one is adj
mitted within the lines without my
consent, and my consent is never given
unless something is known of the APP
plicant for admission.
The inference that the men are suf-
fering from venereal diseases is I'M
true. The sick reports show no such
cases, and no man suffering in that
way could stand the rough riding and
general hard work without -Gnaking it
known.
In a sanitary way the cavalry camp
is likewise clean. The tent walls are
raised all day, the bedding aired, the
grounds raked up. refuse put in barrels
and hauled away, and sand and lime
thrown into the sinks twice day, so
that there is not bad odor to be
found in this block
know it is not necessary to tell you
that the Utah boys are clean and
wholesome, but the story in the Tri-
bune- has caused much anxiety at
home, as the letters and kilograms
from anxious parents indicate. You
can do much to allay their fears, so I
write you the real conditions.
The conduct of my men is exemplary.
1t is over a month since the troop was
and I have not as yet had
TO place a Single man III az
rest. The men are obedient and faith
full. They will all make good soldiers.
Pay day comes tomorrow. 1t will be
very welcome, as some of the men need
a little money. Small sums have been
advanced to nearly all of them, so
that there has been no--suffering for
necessities, but they Will all feel better
when they have received their hard
earned $3.50.
