Show 10 STOCKS LISTED dividends. ON THE SALT LAKE STOCK AND MINING EXCHANGE. This list is incomplete as miny Utah mines have been and are now operated at great profit by individuals and close corporations that do not publish tlieir Fourteen millions would be a conservative estimate of the amount of dividends paid by these mines. Mining Stock Review. The week improved on its predeces sor in activity in the mining shares, both as to the volume of business done and the almost general advance in nearly all grades of stocks. Brokers report heavy eastern orders, the preference seeming to run to the gold stocks, but including many of the higher grade silver investments, and this demand has advanced the market. The Salt Lake Stock Exchange has not enjoyed the full benefit of the weeks heavy transactions, a big proportion of the business having been done on the curb where sfciffer prices ruled. Anchor is enjoying a little solitude, the stock having been neither sought nor offered since the annual stockholders meeting of one week ago. and Alliance and Annie are in the same list. . Ajax continues down for unexplained reasons, and is an offering at 75 cents, with bids much lower. The mines are producing more ore and of a better grade than at any time in the recent past ; there are no heavy' improvements under way, and why the stock should decline on a generally advancing market cannot b3 explained unless it be due to some inside movement. Bullion-Bec- k is 30 cents better in the bid than last week, and Is badly wanted, several brokers having eastern orders for the stock that they have been unable to fill. Another dividsnd of 30 cents per share was paid on the 20th making the total to date 2,195,000. Tne ore body found on the 910 level is said to be as important to the company as would be the addition of a new mine. Centennial-Eurek- a continues in strong demand at prices away above the figures the stock was offered at one month ago. The regularity with which monthly dividends of 1. per share are declared on this stock is monotonous to every one save the stockholders. is also a gainer, having advanced Daly-Weto 3.30 in the bid, but the holders have maintained their record of the past five weeks, of 40 cents higher. Even at the figures bid a low valuation is placed on the property, which is er-cent- ly st - MINING REVIEW. INTER-MOUNTAI- N capitalized for but 75,000 shares. East Golden Gate is inactive in the market, but the hopes of its promoters are on the rise on account of the better success attending the operations of the drill in the past two weeks. Four Aces cuts a considerable business in the total of the weeks transactions, and a large block of it went at 17 cents. At the close the bid was approaching 20 cents, and there are probabilities that it will go higher. Galena is wanted at 1.30, but holders have pushed the figure up. Geyser is much weaker in the bid, but is firmly held and present prices appear to hold out no inducement to the holders to let go. Mammoth is offered down at 1.47, but the best bid for it is 1.40. At the monthly meeting held on the 20th inst., the directors did not take up the question of a dividend. The im--1 provements under way at the property will undoubtedly interrupt dividends for at least four months. Mercur is in strong demand in the east and a splendid advance in the stock has been theresult. Some have been inclined to connect the improvement in price, with the rumor that Captain De Lamar was again negotiating for the property, but the most reasonable conclusion is that) the stock has gone up in price simply because it is in demand. The companys transfer books show that the stock is going into the hands of Boston and New York people. O n tario is slightly weaker in the bid, but it held firmly. Silver King has not been called for, as the stock has failed to appear with the most flattering bids. Sunshine remains low and inactive, but is held for 1.50 per share. d stocks continue to attract atThe tention. Swansea and South Swansea are both in active demand but prices have been put up, and the latter, particularly is the recipient of flattering bids. As was stated a week ago, there is scarcely a possibility of this stock being quoted lower. Omaha, the recent sensation of the west dip of the Mercur vein, was called for at 5 cents, but none of the stock was brought out. Northern Light is stronger than ever, and continues to advance as its new mill on Lion hill approaches completion. non-liste- The non-liste- d stocks closed as follows : Ore and Bullion. The ore receipts at the Salt Lake houses continues to show a decrease each week, the decrease of the week just ended being the heaviest yet recorded. Base bullion, however, is heavier in the product, exhibiting greater activity at the smelters. ORE PURCHASES. McCornick & Co T. R.
