Correspondence Mining Review. Mercur, March 3. C. H. Scheu started work on the Lillian Russell Monday of this week. He has let a contract for 150 feet and will follow' the ore. Mr. Scheu made a thorough examination of the property last w'eek, and claims he has a vein sixty to eighty feet wide that will carry values, and excompects the 150 feet of work just menced will give him a pay mine. P. J. Carney and associates have inthe name corporated the Badger, under of the Golden Treasure Gold Mining company. No new7 developments there in the last few days, but values continue as before reported. The Badger will no doubt be one of the large producers of Camp Floyd before another year rolls around. The Seals is dowrn about 125 feet, and it makes the stockholders smile to watch the strata passed through, as everything points to another Golden Gate-ithe near future. The Utica is working tw7o shifts and ore carrying good valhas ues. Considerable cinnabar can be seen in the ore. Will Goodsell and F. W. Rose are out, looking over the Utica. They are heavily interested in that property. Bithell and Clark are developing the Blanche group in Carl canyon. George C. Whitmore was in Mercur last week. He contemplates sinking on his property on the w'est foothills in the near future. C. M. McEntire reports several sales this week on town lots and claims. n Martin Mahnkin, the merchant, assisted by C. H. Goddard, editor of the Mercur Miner, will soon succeed in their plan of incorporating Mercur. We need an incorporation here, and the parties w'ho are working hard for it deserve credit for their n fine-looki- ng well-know- work. A. G. Hart came Sunday.

The Red Cloud is into ore, and plans addition The Mercur Gold Mining Syndicate and Development company will let a contract for 400 feet of shaft and tunnels on a group adjoining the Badger. The East Golden Gate last wreek received the hoisting plant and it is being rapidly placed on the ground by Joseph Dietrick, w'ho has the contract for its erection. A large force will be put to work and the plant will be ready to hoist by the 1st of April. The Stirling shaft has reached a depth of 100 feet, and the showing is so encouraging that it will be sunk fifty feet further. Mr. P. J.

Those w'ho dreamed of assays up in the thousands are disappointed. Some of them are mad. They are even ready to swear that anybody who says rock out there will go $3000 a ton is an idiot. The fact is, that outside of the Provo parties, no assays have been obtained that carry any high values in either gold or silver, and it is further hinted oped. that salt was liberally sprinkled Mr. P.
