Show THE MINING EXCHANGE. A Unll Pay With But Few Small Transac- tlont. The day on 'change was one of dense dullness. But four properties were dealt in and these in a tame and desultory desul-tory way, the total transfers being confined con-fined to 2400 shares. The apathetic condition of affairs, however, indicates no lack of interest, but on the contrary the absence of a number of the most animated plungers without whose presence pres-ence the cauhlron declines to boil. Apex led the list with a transfer of 1500 shares at 2b", buyer sixty days, and was followed by a cash deal in 500 shares of Crescent at 28 cents. ;. Archer was strotig at $3.85 at which figure fig-ure iiOO shares were unloaded after, which it settled back to $5.80. One hundred shares of Alliance went at $3.50, the remainder of the list going through in a featureless way. When Utah Oil was reached 16 cents was bid and thirty asked. It had been noised about the pit that some . important results re-sults had been obtained in tho last few-shifts few-shifts but the bull failed to take hold. It w as giv en out contidentially that Judge Wain pier was ready to gobble any block that stalked from its moorings, but tho blocks did Hot stalk; Among others who. have visited the board is ex-Senator Tabor, who expressed ex-pressed himself as charmed with the character of slocks that appear on iis list. True, they are, or tho general average represents n higher brand than is posted on the exchange at Denver. There tho 'fanciest" stock is Matchless, the majority of which is owned by tho ex-senator himself, The latest bid on this was $2.25 without any to offer itself, at that figure. There is no such thing in fact as an Ontario or Daly or ( Vnleu-nial-Kureka on the Denver board, the list at that place embracing eighteen stocks that are based on non-productive claims, or prospects, ami twenty that range from .05 te the, notch that is readied by tho Matchless. Here there are bnt eight of the total list of twenty-ono twenty-ono the stock of which is not issued upon productivolevels, a contrast that readily appealed to so distinguished a mining man as the ex-sen- alor who originally purcnaseu the Matchless that has paid him over a million of dollars in . dividends for $73,000. The return of the plungers will produce pro-duce a different spectacle on the boards and until that time the pit will continue tame.
