It was the lure of Mercur's gold which led to the general use of cyanide in leaching, to the building of the first long distance electrical transmission line and to the development of vacuum filtration. Discoveries began in 1896. Finding of a vein of antimonial silver In the Sparrow Hawk brought farmers and prospectors to Lewiston canyon. Kxposures of cinnabar (sulphide of mercury) and gold addel to the excitement. One Capt. Shaw built a mill in the canyon in 1872. Some silver was saved. The gold, however, was elusive. Assays were good, but the claylike ore containing it would not yield to any known method of treatment. Mill changes proving ineffectual, Capt.

This chemical was being tried experimentally at Denver. Tests of small samples from Mercur proving encouraging, a carload of the ore wag forwarded. More than 85 of the gold was recovered. A cyanide plant started at Man60-to- ning in 1892 was able to show a profit and in 1893 its capacity was doubled. r Two years later Capt J. L. bought the Golden Gate group, next to the Mercur claims.

The two companies had produced 1.045.13S tons of ore at a profit of 12.190,901. During the 11 years following. Con.

After the closing of the Golden Gate mill in 1913 the camp languished. In 1917 the mill machinery was sold, houses were moved away and the railroad torn up. Mercur was a ghost town again. Adjacent properties bad been operated far years with varying success. The Sacramento, lust south, had paid 1308,000 In dividends, chiefly from profits on Its quicksilver ore. The Geyser and Marion mines had united In 1897 comto form the Geyser-Mariopany. Until 1900 their respective mills ran to capacity and about $100,000 was paid to stockholders. Thereafter little was done until 1933-when a cyanide plant was completed and a steam shovel turned loose to scoop up low grade gold ore In quantities.

Leasinj operations In some of the Mercur clalma were very profitable and, with the prospective recoveries from tne ow tailing dumps, another period ord prosperity for the twice camp could be foreseen. The recent era of activity has seen the payrolls of the district rise from a few hundred dollars In 1930 to approximately $15,000 per month, which Is steadily increasThis means about 130 men ing. employed on company account, 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.
