YOU in tMHI H HI III. .4 FLOYD, an early military the Oqulrrh mountains, miles south of Great Salt Lake, gave Its name to a district which has never ceased to astonish metallurgists by the diversity and complexity of its ores. Mercur, one of its subsidiary camps, has been a veritable test tubo of mineralogy. There nature outdid herself In obdurate combinations of metallic elements and the miner countered by working out no less ingenious solutions of her metallurgical and mechanical problems. It was the lure ot Mercur's gold which led to the general use of cyanide In leaching, to the building ot the first long distance electrical transmission line and to the development of vacuum filtration. Discoveries began In 1S9G. Finding of a vein of antimonlal silver In the Sparrow Hawk brought farmers and prospectors to Lewlston canyon. Exposures of cinnabar (sulphide of mercury) and gold added to tho excitement. One Capt. Shaw built a mill in the canyon in 1872. Some silver was saved. The gold, however, was luslve. Assays were good, but the claylike ore containing it would not yield to any known method of treatment. Mill changes proving Ineffectual, Capt. Shaw gave up the struggle and the little town bacama "ghost" amp. de-risi- 60-to- doubled. r Two years later Capt. J. L. tho Golden Gate bought group, next to the Morcur claims.

The issue hung in the balance when the increase in the mint price of gold from $20.67 to $35 an ounce turned the scale. Snyder & Sons immediately closed a deal for the purchase ot the Con. Mercur properties under a lease and option contract. Incorporating the Lewis-to- n Peak Mining Co., they arranged for the removal of their Manning plant to Mercur. Leasing operations In some ot the Mercur claim were very profitable and, with the prospective recoveries from the old tailing dumps, another period of prosperity for the twice ghost haunted camp could be foreseen. The recent era of activity has seen the payrolls of the district rise from ft few hundred dollars In 1930 to approximately $15,000 per month, which is steadily increasing. This means about ,130 men on company account, emploved with 75 to 100 lessees also producing. Food and mining supplies to the value of around $6,000 a month are procured locally and from Salt Lake City, while electric power at a cost of $3,000 a month is consumed. Insurance and taxes of various kinds, together with miscellaneous expenditures, account for another $3,000 monthly. It la estimated that $35,000 to $40,000 a month la being put Into circulation Instead of nothing at all.

Fifty years ago this fall I was a lad of 17, and on my way west with sheep for the winter range I stopped in your city to purchase hopples, I think it was from the Ostler's saddlery, and harness shop. While this order was being filled I was window shopping, when a man accosted me and said, "Yes sir. Young Man, this is Chicago of the West." Now, fifty years later I am again In your city. I find the same pride and progressiveness still manifest. A wonderful and very well eq- public spirit and confidence.
