Merrill says I he will Dut on more hands in a short time Humors in relation to the Golden Gate are filling the air these days but which one of them is correct your correspondent cor-respondent is as yet unable to say One rumor is to the effect that Camain Dp < amar has sold out to a European Jyndlcate and that his getting an option op-tion on the Brickyard was for the purpose pur-pose of uniting it with the Golden Gate to make the latter sell This was the explanation given bv the same art s about the Mercur deal Another and more plausible theory is that before erecting a mill De Lamar wanted

fewer hands at work Most of the I ore is taken from the outside cut where there was not supposed to be any a short time ago The surface II ground is taken off by team and scraper scrap-er and the balance quarried Good values are thus obtained and a man can break a great deal of ore No engine F en-gine is needed to do any hoisting and 1 there is nothing left to timber Mining Is a profitable business when a large body of ore Is in sight with no hanging wall but the sky The ore body is increasing and I looks as if the whole Mercur hill would be shipped to Manning before the mine Is worked
