Show jT;6e McLrKet and the Mine? As a rule the week between Christmas and . New Years is a quiet one for commercial stocks and bonds. Considering the fact that eastern money conditions have had an unfavorable influence in-fluence on investments the local dealers in. these stocks are gratified that conditions are no worse. The decision of the directors of the Utah Sugar company to pay no more dividends on common stock for the present caused the common to ease off to $2.60 and $2.65 a share. Idaho Sugar sold at $11.75 and Utah preferred at $10.15 on Wednesday. Wed-nesday. Bank stocks and bonds hold up well. At the end of the month the Utah Sugar company pays 14 on preferred. From January 1st to the 15th a number of banks and other corporations pay their quarterly dividends. Included in the list are the Home Fire, Deseret National, Utah State ban First National of Ogden, First National Na-tional of Murray, First National of Logan, Lehi Commercial & Savings, National Bank of the Republic, Ogden Savings, Prove Commercial & Savings, Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone, Amalgamated Sugar, preferred and common, Thatcher Bros., Logan, Zion's Savings, church bonds, Salt Lake City Railway, and Sumpter Valley Val-ley Railway.

Despite the opinion of the children to the contrary the brokers are convinced that Santa Claus is a bear. His visit to the community has knocked the prices of many shares and the volume of business. During the week ending Wednesday Wednes-day afternoon 147,245 shares were sold. It was only a five-day week, but even at that a falling off of 75,03454 shares is quite a bit. At the same time the cash involved in the transactions dwindled dwin-dled from $155,341.75 to $84,766.82, and the ore and bullion settlements from $470,100 to $353,600. Ten leading stocks declined in value from $19.03 to $18.13. Daly-Judge sustained the trifling loss of 2y2 cents, dropping from $7.75 to $7.7254. Little Lit-tle Bell went from $4.85 to $4.50, Lower Mammoth Mam-moth from 44 to 3854, Little Chief from 3 to 254, Carisa from 23J to 224, Columbus from $4.75 to$4.09, and Star from II54 to 10y2. To partially offset these losses Ajax climbed from 214 to 25, May Day from 11 to 12, and Beck Tunnel from 53 to 70. BINGHAM. The Boston Consolidated has received the first of the great steam shovels that are to be used in quarrying out the low-grade copper-bearing porphyry of which it has a mountain at Bingham. Bing-ham. It is said that the one machine will handle 900 tons an hour and load as much rock in an eight-hour shift as the mill will treat in 24 hours. A similar machine has been ordered for the Cactus Cac-tus property at Newhouse. A five-foot copper-bearing copper-bearing ledge in the Copper Glance tunnel has been opened for 40 feet and the values are still maintained. The breast of the tunnel is now 1,000 feet from the mouth. Returns on late shipments from Utah-Apex show 5.18 per cent copper, 20.6 ounces silver, 32.3 per cent iron and about $10 in gold. The annual report of Boston Consolidated Consoli-dated to the stockholders in London shows that during the year ending Sept. 30 the mine produced 43,717 tons of sulphide ore at a net profit of $4 a ton. TINTIC. Sixty-three tons from the Beck Tunnel sold last week for $41,000. The shoot from which this ore is taken has been cross-cut for 25 feet and ' 'H one wall has not yet been reached.: In the winze ! sunk from the 1,500 level of the Lower Mammoth the values are said to be increasing with depth. The company has shipped three cars within the past week. The machinery has been removed from the Martha Washington of lugubrious H memory, to the Copper Jack in the Erickson dis- trict. Work has been resumed on the Balhinch property at North Tintic, which was at one time a producer. PARK CITY. j The Daly-Judge mill has gone into commis- .H ' sion, but at this writing no report has been re- ceived of the results. New York Bonanza shipped 84,000 pounds of ore during the week. The winze from the 700 level is down 55 feet. A cross:cut is being run on the same level to gain depth on the lime and quartzite contact entered at the 400. The. Creole is cross -cutting both for the contact vein and for the Woodside fissure. The latter is close at hand, but the contact is still 150 feet ahead. The Wasatch lost a few days last week lH owing to a break in the machinery. J STOCKTON. The Cyclone, adjoining the Honerine, has been listed on 'change. It has a 700-foot shaft and has produced some ore. A car shipped last week car- ried 21.35 per cent lead, 5.7 ounces silver and 80 'H cents gold, and netted the company $16.69 a ton. 1 jH A few feet of drifting in the Hercules vein by jH the Honerine company brought the drills into a , five-foot ore body, half of which is of shipping 'H and the rest of concentrating grade. The Black lH Diamond is working along a vein three and one- half feet thick on the 800 level where each ton of !fl rock contains about 40 per cent lead. rH ALL OVER UTAH. The new hoist of the Columbus Consolidated BH at Alta has been put at work. The force is drift- SH ing on the incline from the 700 level, still fol- lowing the ledge of ore which is from ten to jH fifteen feet wide and worth from $50 to $75 a JH A car of ore from the Buckhorn at Ophir jH marketed this week gave the company a profit of $800. Tests will be made on a quantity of con-centrates, con-centrates, the results of which are anxiously awaited. Samples of gold ore from the Trapper's. Pride at Gold Mountain received during the last few jE days assay up to $2,600 a ton, but the values are not sufficiently concentrated to justify shipments jH at this time. SH |
