Show ON 'CHANCE- Trading Wan Light. This Morning and Small Mtorkit Wore Favorite. Trading on the mining exchange was not over brisk this forenoon, when two call sessions were held. A number of the brokers are out of the city, and two or three more are feeling the effects of the heat and are not over anxious to exert themselves. Mr. Kelvin, a recently re-cently elected member, showed up in the pit this morning and offered Barnes' Sulphur, but found no takers. Thcro was nothing done in the costly stocks, and favors smiled mostly on the smaller ones, of which a total of If, 400 shares were sold.

In no mining camp in the west has tho recent rise in tho prices of silver aud lead been felt more than in Bingham, Bing-ham, the Old Reliable. A difference of twenty cents an ounce in silver and one cent a pound in lead means a great deal to them. It means an additional profit to miners there of twenty per cent, over those of last year. F'rom miners who have been in from Ringham tho past week, it is learned that a great deal of prosperity and other new work is projected. pro-jected. Many of the old mines which have been idle for years aro being leased and a largely increased production is noticeable. In the past two weeks there have been many inquiries in-quiries there for lead mines by capitalists capital-ists who scorned our low grade district one year ago. The Stewart No. 2, which is being worked by Major F'owler of Colorado is yielding the most satisfactory results. An average daily production of $."i(H) is made which could bo increased indefinitely indefi-nitely if tho capacity of tho mill was enlarged. There are thousands of tons of low grade gold ore in sight. At the Lead Mill they are concentrating ore night and day from their own mine as well as numerous others to tho utmost ut-most satisfaction. This mill obtains the highest percentage of value saved from the ore of any concentrator in the country. coun-try. On the South Galena there is no special change. The concentrator is making a regular and large production, while there seems to be no limit to the reserves in the mine. It is a matter of regret to many Bing-hamites Bing-hamites that tho company who control the Old Telegraph do not consider it to their interest to pursue a more aggressive policy. There are thousands of tons of ore in sight in the mine but yet it only makes a nominal production. It is believed by mining meu who have examined the property that the mine is capable of a daily production of concentrating con-centrating and firstclass ore of at least 200 tons a day indefinitely. Watsou & Co. are slowly getting the old dumps of the Winuemuca cleaned up aud before winter sets in they expect ex-pect to have tho last of it put through their jigs. BWhat a stock the Old Telegraph would be for tho mining exchange. There would be a chance for a gamble, for tho possibilities of such a property is beyond comprehension. There is no telling what that mine will be when it gets below water level. |
