SALE OF COLUMBIA GROUP

SALE OF COLUMBIA GROUP
Yne Rich Dixie Properties Pass Into
The Hands Of Chicago
/ Capitalists.
A sale which is most salts.
factory to all concerned is the
transfer of the rich Columbia
group of mines, owned and
heretofore operated by Dan
lrullinger, to ]. r. Wood,
familiarly known as Captain
Wood, who has been operat-
ing the Honest John mine at
Warren. A full description
OF this valuable group was
given in the PRESS of the 21st
issue. The bond is for one
years duration and is for $780,.
900, with the first payment on
February 10, 1900, and the
residue in four equal pay.
ments. Mr.. Wood is to re.
ceive possession on November
10, and according to the terms
OF the agreement is to keep
nine men at work continuously,
on the line of work suggested
by Mr.. Trullinger.
The Columbia group is sit.
uated at Dixie and Is acknow.
lodged to be one of the best
properties in the entire section.
In an interview with the Press
man recently Mr.. Trullinger
said: "At a depth of eight
feet We have a ledge which is
80 feet wide; this Is no exag.
geration as the property shows
for itself. We have done no
real work lately on it other
than cross-cut the lead for the
distance mentioned. We have
let a contract to Jake VIII
liams, who will place four mer
to work and they will sink a
shaft 50 feet deep and will
cross.cut the lead from wall tc
wall. There Is another lead
on the property, which is a
parallel one, on which | sunk
a 3s.foot shaft last year, which
is II feet wide at a depth O
s. feet, and this was cross.cur
showing the figures l have men
toned. These two leads, il
my opinion, will converge al
a depth of about 50 feet ane
then the amalgamation will
make one gigantic lead. o.
the lead on which | have le
the contract | have gotten as
says varying all the way from
SIS to $50, but never lowe
than the first mentioned figure
On the old lead general sam
pie Melted S42, but We hav
lore there that runs severa
hundred. The ore is all fire
milling. Our main troubl
heretofore has been water, an
we were flooded SO much tina
it became necessary to insta
a pump, SO placed one on th
property and we can no,
work without the slightest il
convenience. I have thre
properties in the Columbi
group, namely, the Columbis
/, 2 and three"
So that 1t will be readil
recognized that Mr.. Woo
has illustrated the .splendi
judgment for which he
. known, in the selection of TIL
splendid group of propertie
Mr.. Wood is the represent;
tive of one of the strongest sy'
. dicates of Chicago capitals,
, in the west, and when sue
! people take hold OF a propert
! it means actual and immediat
d development, SO the entir
d community is to be congrat,
u lated.

government has decided to arrest Gen.
MERCER, but the rumor is not confirmed.
Last evening, report was in circu-
lation that Gen. MERCER had fled to the
island of Jersey; but this story proved
to be without foundation.
Early this morning. the gendarmes
were still posted outside the residence
of Gen. ST. Germain, military com
mander of this district with whom
General MERCER has been staying dur
ing the trial. Their presence indicated
that he was still there and, in reply to
questions, they declare that they had
not seen him leave the grounds.
This afternoon, Gen. MERCER was I'M
doubleday at home, although he de-
clined to receive callers. No one who
has studied his character and methods
believes that Gen. MERCER would fee
at the prospect of his arrest He has
altogether too much doggedness in his
composition.
