MINING STOCK REVIEW. The close of the week, which was the day following election day, witnessed an average decline in all mining stocks of 10 per cent, and a specific decline in some individual high grade silver stocks of 35 per cent. Mercur, a purely gold stock, was the only one that did not share the shrinkage. The explanation of stocks offered the decline in the silver and silver-lea- d by the brokers is that Bryan having failed of election, the stocks had actually shrunk that much in value when measured by the gold standard. It remains to be seen whether the first days quotations will fix the scale of prices. The week generally was inactive on the Stock Exchange but brokers report a fair business on the outside, and under this stimulus prices were steady at former figures until the slump took place at the close. Anchor was bid at about the previous weeks figures and was held high until the close when it was offered 10 per cent down. There is no news yet as to a probable resumption of work at the mines, nor definite information as to the cause of the Ajax declined in the bid with tiie other stocks but was held firmly and did not recede. Bullion-Bec- k has encountered new ore in the 900 level which may increase its output of first-clafor the time. The strixe cannot be considered as important as it was made near the edge of the famous Eureka Hill fault, in badly broken and crushed ground, and is not likely to possess either size or permanancy. Un tile day prior to election the stock was wanted at 5.5u witn none offered, but on the day after election the best bid was 14 per cent less. Centennial-Eurek- a is featureless excepting that it was offered somewhat lower than heretofore and received no bids. Daly declined over 16 per cent between Monday and Wednesday in the but, and Daly-We4 per cent. East Golden Gate did no business in the week although it was offered at 2 cents with no bids at the close. There is no reliable news yet from the mine. Four Aces, another silver-lea- d property, sold at 16 cents during the week, but at the close the best bid was 10 cents with the stock tending down. Galena was ll per cent lower in spite of the excellent record the mines are making. Geyser suffered a little and was not wanted at the close. The extensive improvements under wav at the shut-dow- n. ss mine and mill will consume considerable time yet and some more money, aud it is doubtful if the stock will pay dividends earlier than the first of the year. Mer- cur had good upward tendency and sold lightly. It was the only stock that recorded an advance at the close. Mammoth paid another dividend of 5 cents per share on Nov. 2nd, since which time the stock has been downwardly inclined. The management is adding new boilers and hoisting machinery for the purpose of sinking the main shaft below the 1500 level. The ore reserves blocked out between the 1300 and 1500 have never been drawn on, and are said to be the greatest in extent ever seen in the mine. Ontario paid 10 cents on the share on October 3 1st, but has been inactive all week and at the close was $7 a bid. dose corporations that do not publish SILVER. The fluctuations during the week were marked although the range was not great, and as election day approached the quotations were stronger, probably in anticipation of the election of Bryan.
