Word comes from Mercur that the show
ing III the Hillside is most encouraging
and that the workings are in a body of

would carry good gold values

Sacramento Consolidated. is congratu-
laUnS himself over the fact that he has
been abe 10 corral l0OO shares Of the
stock of the Joe Bowers Extension COM
pany, in which he is already a very heavy
holder, at 10 cents a share.
The fact that David Keith, manager of
the Star Consolidated. associated with
other prominent mining men of the dis
trict. has bought out the Mammoth mer-
camille establishment at MGmmo5h,
speaks we'll for the future os the Star

Frank Hail. one of the old-timers of
Mercur, was III the city yesterday on min
ing business. Mr.. Hall states that Mer-
cur IS enjoying steady and most sub
stantlal growth and that the outlook for
the district is most encouraging. He also
says that in well-informed mining cir
cleS IN Mercur II is considered that the
Goio Dust is now a, mine, as the recent
strike in this property is a large one and
seemingly permanent in its character.
II is learned that at the Joe Bowers
Extension mine the whim being used In
the development Of this property is to be
moved To the old Estella shaft. where d
period Of ore extraction will be in
augurated during the installation of the
new steam hoist at the main workings of
the mine. It is reported that this ground
is in excellent shape and that within
month after the erection OF the plant
regular ore shipments will be the order
of the day.
Ophir and the West Dip country will
most likely enjoy an outlet for the product
of the mines of these localities at an early
day, as The Herald is informed that Il
preliminary survey for an extension OF the
Salt Lake & MeTcur road to these camps
is nov nearly completed while the right
OF way down Lewiston canyon has been
secured. AS Il matter of fact there is
every assurance that work IN the con-
struction of the proposed extension CT the
read will begin carly i'll the spring.

camp are looking well.
Another car OF high-grade Northern
Light ore has been loaded at Mercur and
should arrive at the sampler within the
next day or two, while another consign-
ment is being sacked at the mine. 1t is
learned that this ore is being taken out
in doing development work only. fire
bodies of rich ore being left standing for
future extraction. while. in doing this
work massive zones OF extra fine milling
ore are being blocked out and the sta
ment is made that from this time on there
will be TO difficulty in taking out enough
mineral TO keep the fine mill of the co -
pany in continuous and constant opera
ton as soon as it is started up again.
