CON. MERCUR STARTS
BRACE OF R0ASTERS
Company Running 0ne.Third
Normal Capacity, With
Some Coal Arriving.

Thursday was a happy day for the
Consolidated Mercur company and
portion of their employees. for two of
the battery of six roasters at Mercur
were placed In commission after
close down of several days. lust be-
fore Christmas, the Consolidated Mer-
cur company had to case up on account
of the inability TO secure coal. This
necessitated the LAYING off Of over
hundred men, and no definite idea was
had regarding the probable date of re-
sumption of activities.
1t was learned Thursday that the
company had secured sufficient coal to
begin operations with two of the roast
ers. and while there is a fair possibility
of this brace of roasters being kept con
stantly in commission. il all depends
upon the ability of the railroad com
pany TO keep the Consolidated Mercur
bins provided with coal, as far as the
rest of the great plant is concerned. 1t
is hoped in local circles that the en-.
forced idleness of the Consolidated Mer.
cur company is now at an end, and that
this faithful old dividcnd.payer will be
able 10 maintain the rate of production
during 1907 that has distinguished it IN
years gone by,
The management gradually is install.
ling the old employees at the mine and
the plant. and almost a fourth of the
number recently laid off arc now at

MCDONALD ELY IS

Developments Upon This Splen-
did Property Has Effect on
Surrounding Ground.
D. c. MD0NALD HAS
INCREASED HIS HOLDINGS
Property Values Are Soaring,
Due to Mcdonald Ely'S
Splendid Showing.

Word from Elv. Thursday, served to
show how thoroughly the recent devel-
opments upon the property of the Nc
Donald Ely Copper company have en-
hanced property values IN the lmme,
diate vicinity Not until the Mcdonald
Elv company secured the possessions
within their boundary lines that mark
the eastern portion of the famous Sly
monZonite mineTaliZed zone, dld the
world begin TO realize that the mineral
lied area Of Ely was not confined TO the
Nevada Consolidated and the Cumber'
land and Ely possessions. This dis
covery was marked by the organlza-
lion of n score Of companies for the
purpose of taking over surrounding
ground. and the Mcdonald Ely prop
erty served as a hub around which the
others gyrated,
To D. G. Mcdonald. is due largely the
credit for the splendid manner in which
the Mcdonald Ely COMPANY Utah pro-
motcrs have progressed with their NINE
during the past few weeks Under his
management the company has disclosed
some splendid copper values upon their
ground, and So thoroughly has Mr.. Nc
Donald become convinced that the Nc.
Donald Elv is one OF the great mines
OF the Elv section that he has secured
the ground adjoining this property on
the north and east. The groups sC-
aUired by him are known as the Arctic
and the Lookout, and from the proper;
tons of the consideration for each deal
il is evident that the sellers had an
adequate idea Of the value Of their
properties.
The Mcdonald Ely operations are
demonstrating the merits of this part
of the mouZonlte zone, and the east
end of the great zone is becoming one
of the main interest ccnters of the
district II is reasonable 10 suppose
that as time has given a more ample
opportunity for the Ely operator TO in

MONTGOMERY WINS SUIT.
Bullfrog Properties Valued at Twenty
Million Were at Stake

Million Were at Stake.
SAN, FRANCISCO. Jan. 3.-Mines
valued at over S20.00o.000 in the Bull
frog district of Nevada were awarded
10 f. a Montgomery by Judge Seawell
Today against the claims Of G. 3 Flem.
ming. who had sued for a half interest
because Of dispute in the Grub.stake
agreement. IL is now stated that the
properties will be transferred 10 Charles
H. Schwah, the steel king, who has
awaited the verdict clearing the titles
before closing the deal. The mines are
known as the Shoshone group, the In
dian Johnny. the Polaris and the Beatty
sownsite group.
The decision of Judge Seawell was
based upon n question of fact. namely.
whether the original agreement existing
between Flemming and Montgomery IN
the month of july 1901, was in exist
ence when the latter discovered and To-
Gated the contested claims in the fall
of 1904. Flemming, mining man of
Los Angeles, claimed that the agreement
rtill held, while Montgomery proved
that he had received no aid from his
partner except in the summer Of 1901
when they shared the expenses of a
prospecting trip made by Montgomery
IN Death valley.

RUSH TO MIzPAH,
New Copper District Attracts Stamped.
ers Out From Ely.

4 good old,fashioned stampede is on
toward the new copper and gold dis
trict known as Mizpah, Ely and sur.
rounding points providing the material
for making this rush as picturesque as
is usually the case in Nevada. The
Mizpah district is located six miles east
of Spruce. northwest of the Dolly Var
den section. Word has reached Salt
Lake that on what is called the Banni-
gan property the miners are uncovering
ore that is sssaying as high as 800 in
gold and 60 pV cent copper. Upon the
Gibraltar group, nearby, the manage.
ment is encountering a great tonnage of
rich gold and copper rock, and no fig
ures are given regarding the amount of
deposits or values of the ores until this
company has done more development
work.
The great rush TO secure properties is
causing property values 10 range well
up into the thousands. and while the
district is one Of the Youngest in the
State. there remains very little terri
tory Ia be taken up by newcomers.

BIG WATER. AT ELY.

are In Ely at present, but it is thought
that this deal will provide the means
whereby Ely will secure all the water
for domestic purposes sufficient for its

SEVEN TRoUGHS ORE.
Splendid Free Gold Specimens Have
Reached the Local Stockholders.


Utah interests have centered so gen
erously upon the properties of the Seven
Troughs district. and so much money
is assisting in developing the properties
there that the receipt in this city Of
some extremely handsome specimens of
gold ore viii attract considerable atten-
tinn on the part OF those owning claims
there. This ore arrived on Thursday,
aud can he seen at the office of Child,
Cole & Co. This ore comes from the
property of the Seven Troughs Mining
company. an organization composed
largely of salt Lake and Provo people.
Jesse Knight is president of the COM
panv. and among those holding liberal
portions of the company S stock are
Lafayette Holbrook. w. u. Mangum,
Child. Cole & Co. and l.. 4. Friedman
of Minneapolis
1t would be useless to give any hgnres
regarding the value of this rock, as IL
is fairly "lousy' with free gold, and
assays have been secured from tins
property that are astounding. The com
pany owning the ground from which
this rock came is preparing TO make a
shipment 10 the local smelters. and up
on the arrival Of this car the local tai
cnt will he given quite an eye.opener
regarding Seven Troughs value. Within
the next few days an organization, TO
be known as the Seven Troughs Kinder
earten company. will he formed by local
people. and this new organization is eS'
pected 10 become one of the features
of Seven Trough life.

work Was done upon the kindergarten
ground a series Of ASSAYS was made
from samples taken from the surface
of this territory Ont of twenty ASSAYS,
not one ran below S400 per ton gold,
