It was the lure of Mercurs gold which led to the general use of buildieranide in leaching, to the electng of the first long distance rical transmission line and to the development of vacuum filtration.

During the 11 years following, Con. Mercur milled tons with a gross value of 510,245,175 and paid 51,235,000 In 1,045,138 dividends. Extraction was at the ' rate of 76.7. After the closing ot the Golden Gate mill in 1913 the camp languished. In 1917 the mill machinery was sold, houses were moved sway and the railroad tom up. Mercur was a ghost town again. Adjacent properties had' been operated far years with varying success. The Sacramento, Just south, had paid 5208,000 in dividends, chiefly from profits on its quicksilver ore. The Geyser and Marion mines had united in 1897 to form the Geyser-Mariocompany. Until 1900 their respective mills ran to capacity and about 5100,000 was paid to stockholders. Thereafter little was done until 1933-when a cyanide plant was and a steam shovel completed turned loose to scoop np low grade gold ore in quantities. Four miles south of Mercur the Sunshine Gold Mining Co., with a mill was operated with Indifferent results. The Con. Mercur took control in 1908 and incorporated the company. The mill was remodeled and in the 14 months ensuing 519,500 was The nearby paid in dividends. Overland property treated 52 20 to n 52.40 gold ore In a mill, but was unable to finance Us operations and closed down in 1902. Beginning in 1933, new life was Infused into the Mercur area by the W.

Snyder k Sons immediately closed a deal tor the purchase of the Con. Mercur properties under a lease and option contract Incorporating the Lewiston Peak Mining Co., they arranged for the removal ot their Manning plant to Mercur. Leasing operations in some ot the Mercur claims were very profitable and, with the prospective recoveries from the old tailing dumps, another period ot prosperity for the twice camp could be foreseen. The recent era ot activity has seen the payrolls of tho district rise from a few hundred dollars la 19;0 to approximately 515,000 per month, wiiich is steadily increasing.

NOTES GARFIELD North of Camp Floyd lead mines and ameltera sprang up, but Mercur slumbered. Then, in 1890, some Nebraska farmers were induced to invest in the gold bed. The Mercur Gold Mining & Milling Co. was organized. Less than 20 of the gold was saved by the small pan amalgamation mill installed at Manning. Cyanide saved ttoMay. This chemical was being tned experimentally at Denver. Tests of small samples from Mercur proving encouraging, a carload of the ore was forwarded. More than 85 of the gol.d was recovered. A cyanide plant started at Man nlng In 1892 was able to show a profit and in 1893 its capacity was doubled. Two years later Capt. J. L. bought the Golden Gate group, next to the Mercur claims. Pyrite, sulphur and carbon in his ore made trouble. Two years more, and experimentation proved that with finer grinding and roasting the base ores could be Dclamar built the Golden Gate mill, In 1897-and, in 1S99, effected a consolidation with the Mercur company under the name Consolidated Mercur Gold Mines DANGERFIELD matriage of Miss Meryveldeen Mr Stanley Dangerfleld took place last Tuesday In the Salt Dke L D S Temple, uniting two of Garfield's mast popular young The Snow and people.
