Show ON 'CHANUE. Tha Boys In the Pit Were In Varlom Moods. When the exchange opened this morning it promised to be a listless session, ses-sion, and the transactions on the first call were very light. But between the calls a boy came in peddling fans gralit-uously gralit-uously and the members threw off a little lit-tle surplus temperature. By the time tlio second call' was on they had absorbed ab-sorbed a little vigor into their sluggish anatomies and tried to "play ball." Bamberger was "oily" and bullish. Treweek and Stevenson were cool, wore button hole bouquets and took in some of the "drill hole" near Green river. Several had taken fresli hitches in their pantaloons and tried to do business. bus-iness. Even the caller had taken a little lit-tle of the good advice given him last night by Tub Tim ks and was a little more interesting than formerly but only a little.

Hetween Calls A dividend of 50 cents a share on C'cn. -Eureka is declared, payable July 23i. One thousand shares of Crescent sold for 34. Bamberger offered 15 for Barnes; buyer iJO. Offered at 17; assessment paid. Utah oil was in great demand at all sorts of prices up to 3$. Bamberger took Apex in lots of 1000 shares so rapidly of Stevenson at 20 that tho latter had to gasp for breath. Then he was offered 21, but he did not respond. A man representing himsolf as the agent of the Standard Oil company made a statement to a gentleman at tho Walker that ho had examined the oil territory on Green .liver for his company, com-pany, and was so well satisfied with his investigations that the Standard was now securing control of considerable land there. J. B. Ingram and D. Van Buskirk have made applications for membership member-ship on the exchange. Oil is still the favorite with the speculators. specu-lators. San Francisco District This district, where the Horn Silver is the great attraction, and is one of the great miuos of the world, but since its (Iodine from a dividend payer of $300,-000 $300,-000 a quarter to an occasional one of $1)0,000, has su ft'eed a decline, aud the adventuous prospector who follows up every excitement and who once broke tho rocks on every hillside looking for indications, has forsaken the place aud gone to new fields and pastures more or less fertile. Still there are. some men left well versed iu mining who havo faith in tlio future of tho district and the richness and permanence of its mines. The great drawback of the place and the one thing which makes hundred of other camps iuUtah entirely unproductive is the lack of water. Every gallon of it has to be pulled by rail from Milford, 18 miles away. A water spout which would wash out that road would be disastrous. Forthisone thingtheHorn Silver pays about $500 a month. Every drop which the people in Frisco are compelled to use, costs them 2J cents a gallon. Another thing which tho Friscoans claim is seriously militating against a larger production by them is what they term too high transportation charges. They want a lower or graduated freight rate on low grade ore. They claim that with a reduction of these charges they could ship hundreds of tons which at present rates they are unable to make remunerative. Aside from the Horn Sil"er, the next most prominent aud promising mine iu the district is the MASSACHUSETTS, which is two or three miles from Frisco over on the other side of the San Francisco Fran-cisco range on tho southwest slope. This is generally believed to be on the same contact between tho lime and the trachyte on which the Horn Silver lies. Indeed it is assorted by tho managers of both properties that they are identical. identi-cal. But unlike the Horn Silver the Massachusetts is a copper mine giving only low assays in silver. The granite tunnel that will strike the vein at a depth of several hundred feet is now being actively pushed and is in 300 feet. There is considerable ore in sight from which shipments will be resumed shortly. The present season's development will, in the opin-ton opin-ton of the manager, show favorable" results. re-sults. Prof. Luce, well known among tho western mining fraternity, has recently rec-ently superceded Mr. Lay as manager, who resigned and is going to return to the oil regions of Pennsylvania. Copper gulch, in which is located the Cactus, a well-known mine, is idle on account of litigation. |
