 Hon. Jules Thielman, mayor of Merrill, Wisconsin, and a leading di- rector of the Rambler Copper and Platinum company, of Holmes, Wyom ing, H. c. Davis, the general manager of the Rambler Copper and Platinum company, residing at Chicago, J. H. Tribbey, a mining operator, whose headquarters are at Indianapolis, In diana, but who for the past two years has been a resident of this county, and M. M. Green, for many years identified with the Rambler Copper and Platinum company of Wyoming, made up a party of capitalists who returned to the city last night from a mine investigation trip in the in- terests of the Hillside Consolidated Mining company on Cherry Creek, and where one of the most important mergers of mining ground interests ever consummated in this county was recently effected.
 Through the creation of the Hill side company, the consolidation of four distinct groups is not only per fected, but the future mineral system acquired under one management, will be permitted along lines that will commend the project from a thorough and practical development standpoint.
 In conjunction with this transac- tion the importance of the move in a noteworthy one in mining annals of this section, and the greatest area of ground ever taken over for mining purposes is concentrated under one operating head. From a mineral standpoint, the plan is one that will commend itself also. The four groups have in years gone been thoroughly prospected, and from each, under the various arrangements, the yield has been in several instances heavy, and in others satisfactory. A vast area is now covered by the Hillside in- terests, which singled out may be men, tioned as the Majestic, with six full claims, the Anna Belle of eight claims, the Golden Idol of four claims. and the Hillside of eight claims, cov- ering over five hundred acres of ab- solute title, and on which there is not one dollar of incumbrance. With this possession, each claim of the four groups show somewhat of an exten- sive development, and pleasing fea- ture of the beginning of work by the new company on the old ground is the fact that in not one of the mines is there a shaft that has reached point 300 feet in depth. This is but to be expected through the many years that have passed when one and then another of the operators would select a different base to work along that to him seemed favorable. The usual result has followed this method, and the many shafts and the general open work in cuts, tunnels and other workings has left the various claims in that condition that clearly estab- fishes the mineralogical make up of the system, but with no extensive work so far as depth is to be con- sidered, but creating, nevertheless, an attractive mineral foundation to work upon. It is due to the general and the limited work seen upon these To- cations that evidently prompted the above operators to take the ground over, and the development of which they will prosecute at points later to be selected, and where the induce ments for the expenditure of capital seem the most inviting.
 Golden Idols Record.
 Some of the groups purchased by the Hillside people are the very es- senee of gold mining operations in this field, and are located on a belt that is established at other points for fabulous yield when the crude arastra was the only means of hand ling the output. The Golden Idol has to it's credit a total yield that is
