Show r i ii i 11 I, k : r-, 1 The MarKet and the Miners Sales in the industrial and commercial stock market this week have been few and' scattering. I Idaho Sugar has probably played the leading i part and responded to a fair demand. The standard dividend payers, such as bank stocks, al ways find purchasers when offered for sale, but j this does not happen often, and to buy any of them in large blocks is well nigh impossible. The same conditions hold good in respect to bonds. Idaho Sugar sold as high as $10.75 this week, but declined again to $10.60. The closing quota-: quota-: tions on Wednesday, as furnished by John C. Cutler, Jr., were as follows: . . Bid. Asked.

Dealings on the local mining exchange this week have been without striking features. The pace set by previous weeks of good business was maintained 232,070 shares being sold for $136,-758.76. $136,-758.76. Compared with the preceding week this is a gain of about $14,000 in value and a loss of 15,000 shares in number. Ore and bullion settlements set-tlements were about $43,000 lighter this week than last. There was a net loss of $1.50 in the market value of ten leading shares. The greatest gain was made by Columbus Consolidated, which advanced ad-vanced from $4.64 to $4.92. The favorable showing show-ing made at the annual meeting accounts for this. Beck Tunnel went from ASl2 to 53, Carisa from 23 to 24, and Ajax from 25 to 30. These gains were overbalanced by the fall of Daly-Judge from $11.05 to $9.20, Little Bell from $4.52 to $4.50, May Day from 15 to 15, New York from 20 to an Little Chief from 4 to 3. Lower Mammoth was not affected by rumors of assessments assess-ments and closed the week as it began, at 33. BINGHAM. A five-drill compressor will be installed on the Phoenix property and a tunnel driven 1,800 feet to tap the main vein 210 feet below the present pres-ent workings. This lode is six feet thick and carries lead, gold and silver. Samuel Newhouse has a large force of men at work in Barney's gulch north of Bingham Junction and its work has resulted in the discovery of a big body of low-grade ore which is causing the owners of adjoining ad-joining property to take notice. The Giant Chief Consolidated has been incorporated to work seven patented claims next to the Old Telegraph and believed to have an extension of that famous vein. The output of the Bingham Consolidated in 1905 is given at 29,153 ounces gold, 1,244,246 ounces silver and 14,396,269 pounds copper. Butler-Liberal has arranged to use air from the Red Wing compressor and to dump its waste on Red Wing ground. Colonel E. A. Wall continues to bombard bom-bard Manager Jackling of the Utah Copper company com-pany through the newspapers, but President MacNeill of the company takes the view generally gen-erally held here, that Mr. Jackling has done all a manager could be expected to do. President MacNeill Mac-Neill says: "The attack upon Mr. Jackling can be regarded in no other light than as an attack on the entire board and its consulting engineers, for Mr. Jackling has been employed in carrying out a policy which has received the most thorough thor-ough and painstaking attention of the most efficient ef-ficient men obtainable anywhere." TINTIC. Beck Tunnel will pay a dividend of $15,000, or y2 cents, February 20. During the past year the Mammoth has sold ore to the value of $203,405.51 and expended $190,677.68. It has rebuilded its Cherry Creek water plant, which burned down, as well as a machine shop and ore bins. During the coming year it is planned to develop the ore bodies on the 2,100 level. Grand Central will pay , a 5-cent and Victoria a 4-cent dividend on the 15th inst. It is conceded that the next few days will determine whether or not the Lower Mammoth Mam-moth stockholders are to pay an assessment. If the crosscut on the 1,500 level for the east fissure fis-sure strikes an ore body when connections are made, all will be well, but if drifting is necessary money will have to be raised to reduce the $17,-000 $17,-000 indebtedness which is hanging over the prop-erty. prop-erty. Shipments last we6k were 208 cars. The Centennial sent out 59, Mammoth and Dragon each 17, Gemini 16, Bullion-Beck 13, Eureka Hill 14, Grand Central 12, and Eagle & Blue Bell 9. PARK CITY. H On his return from San Francisco President J. E. Bamberger of the Daly-West denied the JM statement that the Daly-West has an option on the Ontario and Daly. Negotiations for purchase had been commenced, he said, but no headway made. Last week this camp sent out 2,288 tons, divided as follows: Silver King, 837; Daly-West, 750; Daly-Judge (concentrates, ore and zinc mid-dlings), mid-dlings), 517; Kearns-Keith, 167, and Jupiter, 17. The Odin has crosscut into the hanging wall of its ledge and opened a 3-foot vein of $50 ore. It will take more work to determine the length of the shoot. Seven feet of one-ounce gold ore has been encountered in the Rob Roy at Indian creek, Beaver county. A Colorado company is putting in placer min- jH ing equipment on the banks of Green river near Jenson, and will do some extensive work during the coming summer. |
