A great number of outside orders were filled, and the fact that orders were received for Ontario and Mercur without limit as to price shows the confidence of Eastern investors in these Utah stocks and in the Utah brokers. Utah is now showing more dividend-payin- g mines than any other State, according to the published reports, Utah stocks are to be listed upon the New York and Chicago exchanges and all signs point to an increasing number of investments in the securities offered by the State. The volume of business on the Stock Exchange exceeded that of any previous week in its history, although the activity was chiefly confined to the unlisted shares. The transactions reached 1850 shares of listed and 82,000 shares of unlisted stocks. Ajax advanced a few points on the strength of good reports from the mine. A curb sale at 60 cents was reported. Alliance, Anchor and Annie continued inactive, with little change in prices. Bullion-Bec- k continues to be offered at $6.50, a San Francisco holder, it is understood, being willing to unload at that figure. The monthly dividend of $25,000 was paid on the 15th, increasing the total to over two millions. The to official property, according reports, never looked better. The work of the diamond drill, which will prospect the ground in all directions from the 800 level, will be watched with interest. Centennial-Eurek- a continues in active demand at advancing figures. Out side orders were filled at $61.0062.50. The dividend of $1 per share was paid on the 15th, raising the total paid to $1,590,000, As the stock promises to pay $2 per share per month, for an indefinite period, it is likely to go much higher. Daly went still higher on dividend expectations, and sales were made at Daly-We- st $7.50. was also higher, while East Golden Gate found sale at unchanged prices. Geyser was inactive, and bids of $2.15 for Horn Silver brought out no stock. A wonderfully strong demand for Mammoth was developed, under the influence of which prices advanced 5 .25 1.00 .25 G.t S., C., L. ,... Total 1,000,000 L. ............. G.,S,L. niNING STOCK REVIEW.

The wonderful ore bodies continue to improve with development, both in extent and richness. In one of the newer workings a twelve-foo- t vein of ore is exposed that averages $30. The monthly dividends of $25,000 have been paid from $14 ore, and the possibilities of the mine can hardly be estimated. The regular dividend will be paid on the 20th, making a total of $400,000. This stock Is a good investment at much better than going prices. Ontario was unchanged, sales being made on the exchange and street at $10.75. Reports from the mine indicate an increased output, which may be followed by increased dividends. Silver King sellers made slight concessions but there were no sales. Sunshine opened strong at last weeks advance, and made additional gains, some of the small holders realizing profits. With the increased milling capacity that will be provided, the property will be ih shape to pay handsome dividends, as the ore must yield a profit of at least $8 per ton. Dalton and Little Pittsburg continue to be the star attractions of the unlisted shares. Dalton broke upon the announcement of an assessment of 1 n cent per share, and some holders unloaded at but the stock soon recovered, and closed at which is $37,500 for .the property. Mr. Aires, one of the heavy holders of Little Pittsburg, opened the ball by throwing out a block of 20,000 shares at prices that paralyzed the bulls, and sold the pit to a standstill. The annual meeting was held during the week, and Mr. Aires was elected president, T. Ellis Brown and Charles E. Hudson secretary and treasurer. A committee of directors will visit the mine, after which it will be decided whether the development force will be increased. If this course is adopted, an assessment will probably be levied. The shipments of high grade ore from the Northern Light, located near the Little Pittsburg, encourage the latter company to continue 900 1.15 1850 placed its treasury stock upon the market during the week, and several blocks were sold. The ground is well located and development work will be pushed. The Syndicate Mining and Milling company has placed 5000 shares of treasury stock upon the market at 5 cents. J. A. Yeatman has been elected treasurer of this company, succeeding J. H. Whalon.

The capitalization is $50,000, divided into 10,000 shares, and a sale is said to have been made last week at $40 per share, which is 300 per cent above par. The company was organized about two years ago with twenty-nin- e claims, located in various parts of the Camp Floyd district. It sold the Hecla group for $55,000, and has very valuable ground left. The Mercur Mammoth company i The growth of mining in Utah and the increased output of the mines are reflected by the operations of the Salt Lake smelters and the dealers in ore and bullion. The testimony of the smelters is that the volume of ores seeking market is now quite 10 per cent greater than during the corresponding period of last year. During the week the ore purchases in this city aggregated $185,000, with those of one of the largest smelters not reported. The actual total wras probably near $225,000. The total bullion output of the smelters wras $94,429, showing that a large proportion of the ores go to the Eastern smelters. The bullion increase over the previous wTeek wras $18,2SS.
