The town of Mercur Is one of the most recently founded of the many populous and thrifty places growing out of mining environments of which Utah iioasta. Although young In itself, it has surroundings much older, as all who are acquainted with the history of camp Floyd and the neighborhood to which it imported no lit tie Impetus in the early days of tho commonwealth. As the preaent home and former cradle of the cyanide process of gold extraction from ores, as well as the production in great abundance of the ores themselves, Mercur enjoys a distinction which time cannot efface. Like most other places, it has had its ups and downs, its periods of depression and Its times of wondrous activity, the mean result being one showing decided prosperity. Its population, while not so great aa at some other times, is still numerous and composed of the elements which o fur the building up and pushing along of the splendid opportunities now existent and yet to be unearthed. The amount of wealth which Mercur has contributed to the worlds posan unbelleveable sessions is well-nigfigure, and the amount yet to emerge from Its hidden vaulta la undoubtedly still greater. That Ita greatest days are yet due Is a belief founded upon the best Judgment which learning and experience can bring to bear. FORFEITURE NOTICE. Salt Lake City, Utah. April 15, 07.
