For a year or two the company has
been operating without making a profit,
the company has been breaking even
only, and the decision was made To-
close down operations as soon as il,
became impossible to operate without
loss. The officials heightened the
life of the property as far as possible
because there depended upon this one
organization the town Of Mercur, which
for years has been town OF homes.
The employees of the company owned
their own homes, and once the big
mine ceased the hundreds employed
would be compelled to go elsewhere.
Mercur as town has had its ups
and downs. Twice burned out, the
town has witnessed vicissitudes as we'll
as opulence, and it easily can be im.i
agined what Mercur was when the
world was pouring its millions into the.

made by the Nebraska investors, who
realized that work and honest dealing
are two things in life that are worth

These farmers were without experience
i'm mining matters, but they were good
farmers and splendid business men,
among whom were John Dern, John
Heinrich and f. H. Airs.
These farmers visited Utah for the
purpose of investigating the merits OF
their Investment, and their discoveries
were not reassuring, The pub lie was
of the opinion that the Nebraska ,iti-
zens had been handed something which
in modern days would be termed a
lemon. There was no market anywhere
for any of the Mercur stocks except
among just such unsuspecting purehas-
ers away from the mountains above
mentioned, and the Nebraska share
holders departed for the east in no
comfortable frame Of mind.
But before they left Mcrcur they
gathered together several sacks Of pulp
which Knowing ones ,contemptuously
termed "Mercur mud, and the smclt.

smeltcr man hurried to the hotel where
the farmers were guests and before he
left them he had paid them $l3.653
for the gold contained in the sacks
The surprising results Of this shipment
of mud changed the appearance OF
things Immediately, and their stock
holdings, representing an expenditure
of about 100000. began looking hike

The upshot OF the matter was that
these Nebraska farmers returned 80
Utah, and bringing to bear upon min.
ing The same tactics that had stood
them so we'll while farming and in
other pursuits, they mapped out pro
gramme which resulted in the merger
of the principal mines OF Mercur into
the Consolidated Mercur Gold Mines
company,
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1913-04-06
Companies Merged,

Included within this merger were the
Mercur Gold Mining company, with q
record of 81 ,5SS, and the Dc La
Mar Mercur Mining company. with .
production up to that time of $685. ,Sl2.
The Consolidated company was organ
lied in July, 1900.
It was in the Consolidated Mcrcur
milling plant that the cyanidation
process of gold extraction was first
ATTEMPTED in America, and there 1t was
developed on commerclal scale, ana
when the mill was completed so as to
handle 1000 tons of ore daily it was
the largest Of its kind in the world,
and the engineers who planned and
built il considered II the final word
N milling.
The ore deposits Of the property con
sisted Of three blanket veins in a
gauge of altered limestone. which &C
| counts for the fact that the property
| has been mined only to a compare
lively shallow depth. 500 feet, yet
| throughout the 900 TO 1000 acres
within the company's lines there were
driven almost countless miles of drifts,
crosscuts, wines snd raises. the extent
of the underground work being better
appreciated when it is mentioned that
| there is an electric underground tram
way in the mine three miles In length
One of the first reports issued by the
company set forth the information that

Large Dividends.

The Consolidated company has paid
81 ,235 900 in dividends, while the prop.
erty in the hands OF it's predecessors
paid out $2,1SO,312.97, bringing the to-
taI dividends paid by tho mine to
S3,4l5,312.97. This record was made
by the production Of about $15,000,0 900
worth Of gold-bearing ores.
In 1900, when the tonnages developed
averaged $6.0S per ton in value. it was
figured that the cost of mining and
milling would be SO per ton. Were
the company today in possession Of
ore averaging 50 per ton in gold it
would be considered sufficiently high
to enable the company to operate at a
profit, for the ore values which, many
years ago, ran as high as $50 gold
per ton, in the last few years Of op-
erations averaged as low as S3.15 per
ton, constituting the proposition as one
of the lowest grade and closest min
ing problems with which the metallur-
gicaI world dealt.
From worked-o out proposition. there
fore, and something worthy Of only be.
ing peddled to distant investors totally
ignorant Of mines and mining by what
today would be termed wildcatters, the
Mercur mines have proved to be the
source of tremendous wealth, from
which golden stream has poured un.
interruptedly for thirteen years, giving
the state of Utah prestige as a gold
