Merritt, to whom all credit is : given for the discovery and making of tho old Hod Warrior mino in Beaver county, and who is at present supcriu-, supcriu-, tendont of the property, is in I lie city for tho purpose of domiciling his fanii- ly horc, and will visit for a few days 1 beforo returning to his work. J By the denl recently closod in Duluth, Minn., where tho Merritt family has largo connections, the control of the lied Varrior passed again into the hands of these people, tho original pro- . motors, and Lucion Merritt was made . president of the company and W. J. ! Morritt, as slated, is again in charge of the work which is being carried on there. Mr. Merritt, in speaking yestcr-i yestcr-i day of the Beaver county district, said that in his opinion it stands today unexcelled un-excelled as a promising mining country. Ho believes, however, that the more fnct that it is so accessible, so nearby, acts as a drawback in getting capita) interested in its development. The properties prop-erties there, ho believes, though they have produced many big fortunes, arc as yet practically undeveloped, and that they will in future produce vastly moro than they have doue in tho past. He states also that the owners of the old nud valuable properties in the district, though they are not making nny particular par-ticular attempt to develop them themselves, them-selves, hold i hem nt such high prices that it is diflicult for other operators who would develop them to get control of them, or even to secure satisfactory lenses on tho workings. Mr. Merritt is a mining man of wide experience, 13 thoroughly familiar especially es-pecially with tho Beaver county section, sec-tion, and is firm in his belief that the Ked Warrior ' will niako a great show- imr nro Iniio- 'Plio clmff n r 1.1m Mlillf IS now down about 400 feet and a big body of ore is being worked in.
