Mercur company's Attitude Defined
By Mr.. Dern.

Mr.. Dern, L stated that l would in no
way interfere with the organization,
believing they were making an effort
to select the most conservative men
for the officers. Realizing this ] felt
no danger for the present, but in view
OF the fact that men come and go,
and in course of time these conserva-
tive men might be replaced by the
most radical men, and unreasonable de-
mandS might be made on mine owners,
which could not be granted, strikes
might be inaugurated as at Cripple
Creek, Leadville and Occur d'Alene,
which not only lost a great amount of
money for the mine owners, but
brought great misery and hardship to
miners and their families, and mas
much as the men stated they We're en-
tirely satisfied with the prevailing rules
and scale of wages paid at Mercur, l
thought it unnecessary to organize d
miners union at this time. If, as they
claimed, it was for social purposes,

is a very serious one, and that every

The deal by which ]. II. Conrad of
Butte, Mont, has secured possession Of
the Massachusetts mine in the Park

Nh Conrad is one of the Conrad broth
ers widely known throughout the whole
northwest as successful Indian traders
and mining men. He has been largely

the foundation was laid and machinery
bought for a thirty-stamp mill for free
milling ore. Difficulty was encounter
ed with water, and the mill was never
put up. It's machinery was sold to the
Ontario.
one of the effects of the connection
which was run from the Ontario to the

Mr.. Conrad considers il a good working
property. He IS going to put up mill.
he says. and develop it for all it is
worth.
Nothing to speak of has been done
on the mine since 1891, until last year,
when Mr.. Conrad took an option on the
property. Until yesterday it remained

Mr.. Conrad. and paid the sum of

Mr.. Conrad said the consideration is
being kept private. 1t was explained
that he had bought up the entire 49,

organize a new company himself re-

George Silks returned yesterday from
Tinic, where he took a look at The Old
Dominion, and reports it looking well.
A car of ore from the Ben Harrison
company's property at Stockton arrived
yesterday and an assay of sample gave
- per cent lead, 1884 ounces silver and 81
gold.
Manager Moffat of the Gold Star
Mining company came in from the
property yesterday morning, and re-
ports everything running smoothly.
There viii be another shipment of cya-
hides shortly.
J. ]. Trenam of the Ben Harrison Min
ing company returned from Frisco yes
terday, where he looked at several min
ing properties. Upon his arrival here Mr.

den death of his mother at Denver, but
found it impossible to reach there in
time for the funeral.
A sample of carbonate ore taken from
the shaft at a depth of fifty feet in the
TwelVe-Thirty property at Tintic was
brought to the city yesterday and an as
say made which showed IS ounces silver,
per cent lead, $2 gold and a trace of
copper. The vein is said TO show up one
and a half feet in width.
Some very good reports were received
Yesterday from the Washington Dronertv
west of the Horn Silver at Frisco. The
shaft. at the depth of 200 feet, is in a.
vein of silVer-lead ore and the best part
is that the Vein has widened with depth
until it is now five feet. Good shipping
ore has already been taken out.
Secretary Booth of the Dexter mine,
Nevada. has received a report from the
mine which is very encouraging. Ow-
ing to the scarcity of water, the work
has not been progressing as web as
could be wished for some time past
These conditions have changed since
the beginning of the late warm weather
and there is now water enough to run
full blast. The output from the mine
Will be steadily increased, and some
heavy shipments may be expected
shortly.
