Show A New Peal oo in Camp of Gold Probablo Amalgamation. of Qold-Bonxing' Qold-Bonxing' Interests on the Great Zona at Mercur. It is not unlikely, said the manager of a Mcrcur producer yesterday, that ( the foothold acquired by Col. T. C. WIs-' WIs-' wall and his associates at tho Geyser-Marlon Geyser-Marlon will lead to the propagation of another productive undertaking In the camp of gold, with the properties of tho Gold Dust Mining company and the Silver Cloud mlno to constituto tho other units in Its estate. As Is known to all thoso who have made Inquiry, the Gold Dust has gold-bearing ores of good quality, and In such quantity that Its equipment with a cyanide plant was ' ' at one period under serious consideration, considera-tion, whllo In the Silver Cloud, said Glen R. Bothwell, one of its owners, during the day, is a similar condition. 1 1 "With these resources added to those afforded In the enormous tailings dump 1 at the Geyser-Marlon, and of which I latter Col. Wiswall says they may bo treated at a margin, his undertakings In the camp should be made permanent and profitable. It was claimed by thoso who managed the mill at the Geyser-Marion Geyser-Marion that the losses would not exceed ex-ceed 85 cents per ton, and that It was perhaps making a closer saving than t any plant at camp. Subsequent sam-; sam-; ' pllng of the dump shows this claim, I ; however, to have been vociferously er-' er-' roneous. Some of the sands, Indeed, show as much as ?3 per ton gold, and , that the average is less than ?1, with 5500,000 contained in the stupendous mass, is not believed. "With the crude ore from tho Gold Dust and Sliver Cloud blended with the auriferous tailings tail-ings in theso dumps and nn efficient i method with which to reduce the whole, the proposition certainly appeals to the I neighbors as a most likely one. |
