Bonanza.
A mine in the Tintic district slated

JOHN c. YoUNG's LUCK.
L. U. Colbath's Partner Makes Rich
Strike In Oregon

After several years OF hard work and
the expenditure of an immense amount
of money, John c. Young and L. L.
Goliath of this city are now about to
receive the reward of their pluck in
developing the Gray Eagle group of
claims at Cable Cove, Ore.
The Baker City Democrat tells of the
strike as follows: Mr.. Young is in the
city and brought with him samples of
ore that has caused mining men 10
open their eyes in wonderment The
samples of ore displayed are from a
vein from eight to twenty inches wide
in a raise at the end of a 600-foot tun-
mel, where the main ledge is about FIVE
feet wide. The ore from this newly
found vein will go $500 TO the ton. and
one or more carloads are on the dump
ready for shipment. Mr.. Young will
commence shipping at once, and is con-
fident of being able to send to the smell
ter fifteen or twenty carloads during
the summer. The good fortune at
tending Mr.. YounS's twelve years of
mining at Gable Cove is well deserv-
ing. and the hope is that his most san
guine expectations may be fully re-
allied"

NO MERCUR DIVIDEND YET.
Board of Directors Lack One of a
Quorum.

Quorum.
Considerab BILE speculation is now being
INDUCED in as to whether the Mercur
company will post dividend for June.
Early in the month it appeared to be
a foregone conclusion that on the re-
turn of President Dern from Nebraska
Il directors meeting would be held and
a dividend posted. But at no time since
Mr. Dern's return has there been a
quorum of the directors in the city,
consequently no meeting has been held.
Regular monthly meetings of the board
are usually held on the 10th, and that
date having so long since passed it is
very doubtful whether any attempt will
now be made to hold a meeting be
fore next month. No Information on
the subject can be Obtained at the com
pany's office.
