A r THE SACRAMENTO, Only Producer of Quicksilver in the Intcrmountain Region. To the world's supply of gold, the Sacramento of Men ur. during the year, contributed as many as 6000 ounces; to its supply of quicksilver, the total having a valuation of about 1160,000, During the same period the shareholders of the company were permitted per-mitted to draw down four dividends amounting to $20,000, and while Santa t'laus- failed to make his appearance among them, It was not that he was without a surplus In th treasury. Operations at the properties of the company, that have been productive of dividends amounting to nearly $100,000, have been prosecuted during the year, as have they since they were Inaugurated, Inaugu-rated, the tonnage from them such as to keep the cyanide plant running at full capacity, while the mercurial product pro-duct of them was equally continuous, and kept the battery of small retorts In steady commission. That this portion por-tion of the company's resources shall be made more productive the present year, however, the management will enlarge the plant, nnd to that end orders or-ders will be placed In a short time, no doubt. As a producer of quicksilver In commercial quantity, the Sacramento continues the only one In that category cate-gory in the State and In this Inter-mountain Inter-mountain region. The channel In which the cinnabar occurs, while not a large one, added, according to the returns made upon It some time ago, no less than $200,000 to the assets of the company, com-pany, and at this time thero is practically prac-tically as mui h ' xposed, notwithstanding notwithstand-ing the steady operations at the r ti ts Hid the amount required to supply their tie. .Is The main bodies of gold-bearing gold-bearing ore have. In the meantime, re-Bponded re-Bponded as In the past anu while they have not been productive of as much of tho yellow metal as in previous years, the result has been by no means unsatisfactory. In the properties of the Sacramento company there i. mains a large amount of unexplored ground and it Is the Intention of the management manage-ment the present year to give this not u little attention, with much to In dicate that it will be mad as productive produc-tive as that which has already been drawn upon. Glen R. Bothwell will continue to serve the company as Its president and genera manager; Robert McConaughy as Its treasurer, and Frank E Losve, Its secretary, with W. Cochler the superintendent of the mill and retorts, and Evan Jones the superintendent of nilncs.
