MERGER TO GO AHEAD

probability, will rebound to their ben
eft.
Referring to the operations of the
Merger company and it's plans for
the future, President Whittemore
said:
notwithstanding the delays that
have arisen, due primarily to water
and resultant additional costs, con
ditions at the Merger are without a
single d~iscouraging element; there
fore, there should exist no anxiety
on the part of the stockholders as to
the future of the property.
IAN n impression has
seemingly gone abroad that the COM
pany is entertaining doubt as to fu-
ture operations. In that connection,
it is only necessary to inquire as to
whether it would seem reasonable
that the men of wealth identified with
the company would spend a quarter
of a million dollars to sink a hole
and then abandon it without tbkn1
Ough development.
Recently operations in the proper
ty have been below normal in con-
sequence of the great volume of va
ter that has developed in advancing
on the 1750-foOt level the long cross
cut out into the ground of the At
lanta Mines company, which gravi-
tates to the Merger shaft. A new
pump to handle the water will be
completely installed in the next two
or three days and operations will
then assume a normal basis"

A report on the geology of Long
Island, written by Myron l.. Fuller,
and just issued by the United States
Geological Survey, will be of interest
to a very large number of persons in
that thickly populated region and
elsewhere. Although the mineral re-
sources of the island are not partic-
ularly notable, some of its clays and
sands are of economic value. Long
Island presents peculiar
and interesting geological features,
and many biologists have studied 1t,
but the extensive Investigations of MIR.
Fuller throw a flood of new liht on
the geology of the region. He has
found that Long Island affords partic-
ularly clear evidence as to the his
tory of the great continental ice sheet
which covered the northern states
many thousand years ago.
The southern margin of this great
ice sheet extended to Long Island and
remained there for a long time, de-
posting a thick body of intermixed
boulders, sand and clay as a terminal
moraine, which is o the back
bone of the island. The ice moved
southwark and brought these mate
rails from the north, dropping them
at its melting edge. This peculiar
method of deposition developed a
very peculiar topography, consisting
of an irregular aggregation of hum
mocks and hollows, which have pro
duced the many beautiful details OF
CONFORMATION that make the higher
parts of Long Island SO attractive to
lovers of nature. The most notable
of these hollows in the moraina1
ridge is the one holding the pictur-
esuue Lake Ronkonkoma, which lies
in a depression so feet below the sur
rounding ridges. Several other SINH
lar pits are 80 to IS feet deep, and
some of the larger irregular hallows
are several miles in length. The re-
port contains extended descriptions
of the features of the varied configur-
alton of the island. with lucid and
interesting explanations of the origin
Of many details. Considerable atten-
ton is also given to the character and
origin of the deep submarine chan

PROMISED DIRECTLY
VIRGINIA-IOUISE AFTER Smell.
TER RATES-NOTES FROM
OTHER GROUPS

Several officials of the Virginia
Louise property of Phoebe, Charles
Lee HGI soy, H. w. Rand, Alex. Lloyd
B. Gemmill, are now in Salt Lake
looking up smelling rates for the
company. Relative to these matters
the Phoebe Record says hal if the
negotiations now pending in Salt
Lake with the smelling companies
are consummated, as it is expected
that they will be within the next few
days, the Virginia-LOuise Mining
company will begin IN active cam
paign of production with the resump-
Phoebe branch of the Salt Lake Route.
The Virginia company has opened
some tremendously larbe bodies of
ore in its property, which is located
adjacent to the Prince Consolidated
mine, the character of which is identi7
cal to that produced from the latter.
1t is expected that amicable arrange
ments will be made with the manage
ment of the Prince Consolidated for
the transportation of the Virginia
ores to Phoebe at a nominal charge.
1t is expected that within the neXt
two weeks prosecuting from the
400 level of the Amalgamated Pr
oche No. 1 shaft westward to the
Black ledge and Yuba dyke-which
should be close together at that point
will have commenced. At this
writing, the shaft has gained a depth
of 1411 feet and bottom of the pro-
posed station will be 1921 feet be-
low the collar of the shaft. Below
this will be a 25-foot sump.
Work is progressing very nicely
on the Yuba lease. The gallows
frame is completed and the sheave
wheel set. The foundation has been
dug for the hoist, and water is now
being brought in from the water COM
pany's main line pipe back of the old
boarding house on the hill. Tomor-
row the cement for the foundation
will be placed.

a trip to the Chief mine accompa-

A deal was consummated this week
whereby the Alps mining property,
which has already an enviable record
for production. has passed to a strong
syndicate OF Portland, Ore, people,
at the head of which is C. S. Schea,
who has been in the city for several
weeks on mining business. The Alps
property was owned by the William
Lloyd estate and others, and has long
been regarded as n of the most
promising mines in this district. The
locations cover the strike of the ia
nous Yuba dyke and is the most
southerly point that the dyke has
been explored. The ores are rich in
silver and gold.

by fire at the time the shaft house was
burned, has been rebuilt and put
into condition and is now giving as
good satisfaction as it did before the
fire. The pipe line is of three-inch
