ABOUT DALTON & LARK.
Believed Something New Will Devel-
op On Mr.. Whittemore's Return.

As nothing has been, reported by c.
o. Wfittemore regarding the failure of
the Dalton & Lark deal. which he went
to New York to consummate, it is be-
lieVed that on his return, which is
scheduled for tomorrow, it will be found
that Mr.. Whiutemore has not abandon
ed the scheme of handling the property
by any means. The fact that the old
option has expired and the mine has
again been handed over to Mr.. Schenck
viii not, 1T is thought deter Mr.. Whit
temore from his purpose of landing the
prize for his eastern clients.
After the option had expired Mr..
Schenck said he did not feel disposed
to take advantage of any technicality
which might have upset Mr.. White
more'S plans, and as it was quite plain
from what Mr.. Schenck said that be-
lated acceptance would have been con-
sidered by him, the conclusion is drawn
that it is not yet too late for the deal
TO go through.
p. T. Farnsworth, who has been df-
recting development work under the
option, stated yesterday that on his
trip to the mine with Mr.. Schenck
Tuesday the mine had been inspected
and everything was found to be in
splendid shape. Before leaving Mr..
Schenck had made arrangements which
contemplated a continuance of the ac-
tive campaign which has been in prog
resS during the past six months.

OPERATIONS IN MERcUR.
George H. Dern Reports On Some of
the Big Mines.

George H. Dern, after spending a
couple of days in the big gold camp,
was again at his desk in the Mercur
offices yesterday. Everything at the
Mercur mine. he said, was again in
smooth running order. The repairs to
the big air compressor, in which a
new piston head has just been placed,
are completed, and the huge machine
IS again in operation. A new 300-ton
ore bin is being constructed on the
Lizzie claim, one of the Mercur group,
from which to help supply the mill
with ore when the new tanks are put
into commission.
AT the Daisy all possible speed is
being made on the new mill, on which
the entire force from the Mercur mill
has been employed to hurry the work
along, and within the next day or two
the elevators win have been finished
and the plant started up. AS soon as
that happens the whole force will be
put on the Mercur mills new addition,
and that work rushed to completion.
The Geyser- Marion, Mr.. Dern says,
is now working TO its full capacity, and
the mine IS looking better than at any
time since early last spring. The mill
Is doing more and better work than
ever, and a greater per cent of the
values in the ore is being extracted.
and everything looks very encouraging
for the future. ......
The Silver Lode company, which has
just opened into the vein with it's 300
foot tunnel, is rapidly proving up the
value of its mine. The assay values of
the ore have increased from $3.50 to
1920. and returns which are due today,
Mr.. Dern is convinced, will show the
values to be increasing as depth is at
tanned

MERRIAM MAKES HIS REPORT
TELLS OF HIS ACTIONS DURING
MINERS TROUBLES IN IDAHO.
Disclaims All Responsibility For. the
Order Refusing Employment to
the Union Men.

Washington. Oct. 1S.-The. war de-
partment made public the annual re-
port Of Brigadfer General H. G. Mer-
riam, commanding the department of
the Colorado. He states that the fea-
ture of the years work has already
been covered in a separate report trans
mitted TO the war department This
report has not been made public UP. to
date.
General Merriam says that his de-
partment has been almost denuded OF
troops, owing to the demands of the
foreign service. The discipline of this
small force he says has been good. the
school work satisfactory and the court
martials fewer than in the proceed
in.
He says. however. that considering
the presence of $4,000 Indians in the
department, the military strength has
been reduced very close to- the limit of
safety.
The report Of General Merriam upon
the Idaho riots was made public this
afternoon. General Merriam disclafms
all responsibility for the order refus-
ing employment to union men in the
mines. He SAYS that this regulation
was drawn by the state authorities. and
his only connection with it was to Itber-
alize certain of it's provisions. after
which he placed his name at the bot
tom with the words Examined and
approved" He says it was not his in
tention that his troops should have any
part in debating the condition of labor
in Idaho, and that they never did so.
The other point which he makes is
that the prisoners. of whom at one time
there were more than 400, We're not
properly cared for until he had called
the attention of the state authorities
to the matter, after which their condi-
tion was materially improved.

The Long Pending Transaction is
Concluded.
NEW COMPANY FORMED
JOHN DERN AND OTHERS ARE
IN IT.
Incorporated For 100000 and viii
Proceed at Once With the Erection
of Mill On the Property-Both
Sides Talk of South Swansea
Four Aces Trouble.

The option on a two-thirds interest
IN the Midas group of claims in Cliff
ton Mining district, Tooele county
which has been held for the past eight
cen months by James Chapman and
John Dern, was yesterday taken up
by the gentlemen named and a deed
TO the entire property was delivered TO
the Midas Gold Mining & Milling COM
pany for a consideration of $4,000. The
option of Nessrs. Chapman and Dern
was secured from w. II. Grant and
during its life the three named, togeth-
er with Mrs. Elizabeth Crismon, have
spent 81, 900 in developing the mine.
The property consists of the Midas,
Lucky May, Golden Eagle and June
Bug mining claims, embracing eighty
acres in all. After the taking up OF
the bond yesterday the Midas Gold
Mining & Milling company was incor-
porated for 100000, with 100000 shares
Of a par value of so cents each and 100,-
600 shares was set aside as a working
capital. The directors of the new
company are John Dern, w. n. Grant,
James Chapman. jr., and Mrs. Eliza
beth Crismon. John Dern is president,
W. II. Grant. vice president and James
Chapman. treasurer. After the selec-
ton of Washburn S. Chapman as sec
rotary, the new company was declared
formally launched and the incorpora-
tors adjourned
When seen after the meeting, Mr..
Dern said that during the past year
and a half the property had been
brought to a splendid stage of develop
ment and the expert examination and
sampling by L. u. Goliath last spring,
as well as the examination made by
himself and Mr.. Chapman had been
very satisfactory indeed.
Recent measurements made in the
mine, Mr. Dern said, showed that over
800 600 worth of ore which sampled
better than $40 to the ton in gold had
been blocked out. The ores have been
tested both at the Mercur mill and the
Macarthur Forest plant at Denver, and
both went to show that in the Midas
they had a perfect cyaniding propo-
sition.
on that showing the management of
the company will take immediate steps
for the erection of a mill with a tank
age capacity Of $50 tons, and as wood,
water and timber in sufficient quantity
for both mine and mill purposes are
near at hand, the Midas company will
unquestionably make a stir in the
Deep Creek country during the next
few months.
The closing of this long-pending deal
and the formation of such a strong
company will be a source of gratiflca-
ton to every claim owner in that part
of the state and it will undoubtedly
greatly stimulate future developments
in the district, to say nothing OF the
good effect it viii have in determining
The Southern Pacific to skirt that sec
ton with its contemplated new road

TUsCARoRA STRIKE.
Demonstrates the Continuity of the
Dexter Veins.

Colonel S. B. Miner, who is heavily
interested in the. property of the Tus-
carora. Gold Mining company is of the
opinion that the strike of grade
ore made in that property a short time
ago is one of the most important de-
velopments made in that gold camp this
year.
The disclosure practically demon
strates that the series of north and
south veins, running from forty to 200
feet apart, are continuous and proves
beyond a doubt that they exist outside
Of the ground owned by the Dexter,
Tuscarora and Tuscarora Chief prop
critics.
In sinking the Tuscarora shaft about
eighty feet of wash was passed through
before striking the solid formations.
The shaft was continued on seventy
feet further from which point a drift
was run out for a short distance en-
countering a vein of ore about eighteen
feet in width. In this vein is a large
amount of good milling ere, while a
small streak carries values of $25 to
the ton
