GOLDEN GATES PLANT.
Contracts For Power Machinery Now
Being Let.


The information was given out at
the De Lamar offices in this city yes
terday that the contracts for the
engines and boilers which are to furn-
ishY the energy for the new electric
power and lighting plant at the Golden
Gate mine and mill at Mercur-a plant
which will cost about S50.O00-had been
let, and that during the next day or
two the orders for the generators
would also be given. The new power
house, which is to be an imposing brick
structure, viii be erected on the new
rooster or southeast side of the mill and
its construction will be commenced just
as soon as it is known what will be
required in the way of foundations for
the machinery.
The contract for six 125 horse power
boilers was awarded to the L. P AlliS
company, of Milwaukee. on Friday,
while the order for two $50 horse power
tandem, compound, nOn-condensing en-
gines was given to George o. Bradley,
of the Gates Iron works, San Fran

electric generators, calculated to carry
about 300 volts and develop something
like 700 or $50 horse power. win COM
plete the general equipment of the
plant Who will get the order for these
generators VIII depend, in a great
measure, on who can supply them the
quickest, with the chances in favor of
the Westinghouse company.
W. H. Cunningham stated yesterday
that the boilers and engines. also.
would be delivered inside of sixty days
and it was a matter OF great import
ance that quick delivery contract be
made for the generators.
The determination of Captain De
Lamar to put in a power plant of his
own is the outgrowrh of past difficult
ties with the Telluride Power company,
the current from which the De Lamar
people contended was not steady and
reliable enough and over the payment
for which litigation is threatened.

The company has secured options on
certain ground adjoining the mine,
which. if taken up. would add prob
ably $4,000 more to its present out
standing indebtedness But so far as
the ground upon which the options are
held is concerned. the company has at
least six months time in which to
make any payments on its new acqui-
sitions.
There is rothing obligatory about the
options. but if a payment is not made
at stated time in the future the
ground reverts to the owners.
Regarding the present condition of
the Star Consolidated, the officials of
the mine say it never has looked so
good. There is more ore in sight than
ever before, and although shipping
values are not found as yet in great
quantities, there is an immense vein of
milling ore which shows a width of
forty feet in places.
Something like a year ago the Star
Consolidated stock sold up to S1-5o
share, when the mine had nothing like
the showing it has at the present time.

OF good companies offers some of the
best chances for investment. These
stocks are usually sold at rather low
price at first and the money is spent
in the development of the property. 1t
takes from two to four years to bring
good prospects to a paying basis. In
the meantime. however. the stock has
advanced many times the original in
vestments. Selections should be care
fully made, and properties should be
well located in a well known mining
camp and in the neighborhood of good
producing mines. Careful investigation
should be made as to the management
of the company. If the management
is good. that of itself is a recommended
ton for the property, because good
management will select good proper

BUYS CUBAN MINES.
Valuable Properties Pass Into the
Hands: of Carnegie Company.

Santiago de Cuba. Nov. 2O.-Rumors
current for several weeks eliminated
ficials of the Satanillo & Moroto rail-
road and the -Ponupo mine that both
properties had been sold to the Car
negie company.
The Ponupo mine is considered one
of the richest manganese mines in the
world. 1t has practically unlimited
deposit of ore assaying at 60 per cent.
The railroad. which holds a Spanish
construction concession to Manzanillo
and Guantanamo. is now paying
property fifty miles into the interior
MIR. Carnegie's representatives have
been active in the district for a month
and have secured options on many
valuable iron and manganese deposits
along the Route of the proposed rail-
road extension.

Fifteen-foot Ledge-Lowest Assays
Taken Were 81 to the Ton.

The news reached the city yesterday
of a probable important gold discovery
about eighteen miles west of Deseret.
on the Oregon Short Line, and on the
road from that point to Fish Springs.
The find was made by George Law
renee, assayer at the Charm mine. To-
Gated in the Detroit mining district.
1t is said the gold bearing rock was
found in a we'll defined ledge measur-
ing from ten to fifteen feet wide, which
carries very encouraging values. The
lowest assay taken was 81 to the ton.
Harry Joseph, who has just returned
from the country, brought in some
samples which went as high as $40 in
gold. The ore is said to be an excel
lent cyaniding proposition. The proper
ty is believed to- be one of considerable
merit.
