MERCUR IMPROVEMENTS.
Important Work Carried On at the
Mine and Mill.

Mercur, April 29.-The Mercur COM
pany has been quietly continuing their
improvements, both at the mine and
at Manning. but 50 little stir is being
made about it that ii is only by visit
ing the property that the change is APP
parent. All through the winter the
mill has been using up 400 tons of ore
daily and TO difficulty has been eX-
perienced in furnishing this amount
from the mine. In the Sacramento

side of the hill show bodies of ore

ping ore. In the Lulu the vein has
been followed on its dip over 500 feet
and no break in the vein has been
encountered. In these workings .'pock-
cts of rich ore are found carving
values far above the average in the
camp.
The Apex incline on the north side
of the Mercur Hill is now 40 feet below
the lowest workings, and a drift is
being run on the vein formed at that
depth. Connections are also being
made between this incline and the up
per workings in the Resolute and Ruby
and eventually this will be the main
opening to the mine.
Near the incline a new building is
being erected, which is destined to be
the compressor building. 1t will con-
tain a,1OO horsepower compressor and

expected that the machinery will be on

M'DERMOTT ON TRUSTS.
Montana Man Talks of Copper and
Other Combines.

William McDermott, the well-known
and old-time mining operator of Butte,
has been in the city since the first of
the week, and is a guest at the Kenyon.
Since his presence here became known.
and particularly since his return from
bingham Tuesday night. speculation
has been rife as to the purpose of his
visit. 1t has been minated that he
was here in the interest of w. \. Clark.
the Montana copper king, and also that
he was looking over the field with the
purpose of enlightening the new copper
trust regarding the outlook and future
of the rapidly-developmg copper mining
industry in this state.
When seen yesterday. MI. McDermott
said the SurmiSeS regarding his visit
here had no foundation in fact. He
felt interested in what was being done
here; he had inspected the Highland
Boy, and was greatly impressed with
what he had SCENT was a ma -njtirent
property, and, as ne intended to re-
main for several days before returning
home, he hoped to become better ac-
quainted with our resources.
Mr. McDermott stated that he was
not here in MIR. Clark's interests, Meth
er had he any connection whatever

however, that its operations would un-
doubtedly be extended to Utah, as il
would try to capture the earth, SO TO
speak.
The operations of the gigantic com
bine would result. Mr.. McDermott
thought, in great activity in the copper
producing industry Cor some time 10
come. Big deals wou:d likely Toe nu-
merous and mine owners and prospect
ors as we'll as all classes of business in
copper-producing sections would be
correspondingly prosperous.
Speaking of trusts generally. the gen.
tleman said he deplored greatly the
fact that this great country was rap
idly drifting to that point where trusts
and monopolieS would not only control
all classes of business, but where, he
feared. they would also reduce the
masses of the people to the verge of
slavery. He believed the day was not
far distant when the wage scale in
Butte would be reduced, and whcr the
miner who dared to lind fault with his
lot would be a ver;ta5.e outcast: his
discharge from one property would
mean the closing of all mines, practical
ly in the camp, against MIN, and when
that condition stared Butte in the face,
like conditions would lie found to be
general. The grasping and grinding
proclivties of trusts, he said, would in
a few years either result in Il form of
serfdom among the masses, Or reVolu-

COPPER STRIKE
Reported In the Vicinity of the Bro
mide Mine.
Wernal ENpress. }

Excitement is running high over the
find of Bob Reynolds and Ohm wilkins,
who have uncovered large vein of
high grade copper, located between the
Bromide mine and the Smelter.
The Bromide company have been
sacking the float from this vein for
some time past, but the vein has not
been discovered until recently.
1t is whispered now that the owners
of the Bromide would prefer not to sell,
as this new discovery will enhance their
property to a great extent, but the
eastern company with which they are
negotiating hold an option on the prop
erty for thirty days, which time has not
yet expired.
From reports and the location of the
vein, it is estimated by mining men that
a vast amount of wealth is there to be
unearthed.

ing concentrates on the basis of five

the big mining companies in Tintic have

not quite good enough to ship, suscept-
ible of profitable treatment through

essential things for clean jigging is an
ample water supply, and as the Four

lied very handily.

OUTPUT OF BONANZA.
Oregon Mine That Shows Up Big
Gold Production.
Baker City Democrat.)

iIodhII lily OOAiAoSAdN-l
The richness of the Bonanza mine is
little less than phenomenal.
During the months of January, Feb
ruary and March, 1899. the actual gold
production of this mine was $50 pounds.
The gold is worth S16.75 per ounce at
the United States assay office, and at
twelve ounces of gold to the pound
makes S96.4S0 that the Bonanza yielded
in three months.
It is further stated that the Bonanza S
last dividend was $250,0OO. divided be-
tween the five owners, all residents of
Baker City.
Such a showing is almost past cred
ence. but fact is stranger than fiction.
While the Bonanza has been turning
out ali this gold, it may be stated that
at least two or three other Baker coun-
ty mines were hot in the race with a
gold product of $4,000 or more, each
in the same length of time.
