Uncle Sam re- v il leaved 6"0 at 2V cents. (S) twined to resume the payment of dividends divi-dends and ordered the usual dividend of 1 cent a share or I50O0 paid on December De-cember 22, the book to clofe on Uie 15th and reopen on the 23rd. This Is the fourth dividend paid this year. The dividend div-idend was passed In November on ac"1 count of the extra expense forced on the company by th fire at the ahaft-house ahaft-house and the necessity of doing additional addi-tional assessment work. The Mopping of the dividends was merely a precaution, precau-tion, but wa approved by the majority of the stockholder. . The mine Is now looking splendidly and the mill Is turning out a fine product prod-uct ith regularity and smoothness. From all accounts fhe property will be able to continue to pay dividends for a long-time to come. ( . METAL MABKET. Silver has at last reached 60 cents per ounce. The cause of this ad- vance is undoubtedly the shipment of an increased amount of silver from England during the last few Qy weeks, and there seems no reason to expect that the demand will grow smaller for soma time to come, and the price of the white metal is even expected to advance still further. The conflict between Russia and Japan Is having a decided effect on the silver market and the increased w demand in the Orient is making the mine-owners happy. Copper remains at 146 cents per round, and lead in ores sells for ) $160 per 100 pounds. The A. S. ft R. Co.'s actual average weekly sales () price for desilverized domestic lead (!) d) in New York Is $4.40 jer 100 pounds. (3) 0 BREAK IN" PIPE-LUTE x AT THE COLUMBUS CON". The Columbus Con, mill is asjain out of commission. This time, however, the fault is rather with the elements than with the management. The pipe-line which conveys the water to the'power plant has broken about half way from the dam, and there is at present a gap of about seven or eight Inches. It is thought that the recent cold 'weather which has obtained at Alta caused the contraction of the Iron pipe to such an extent that the joint was broken. There, was apparently no flaw in the material, but the pipe will be out of commission for several days, when a new piece will be inserted which will give sufficient play to allow for the contraction con-traction and expansion of the pipe under un-der all conditions and temperatures likely to occur at Alta. A crew of mechanics me-chanics is now working on the break. ENTHUSIASM AT ALTA. Manager Henry M. Crowther of the Continental-Alta spent Thursday at the property, and reports that the work at the upper headhouse of the tram line Is practically completed. The first carload of rope has arrived from St. Louis, and before many days the entire series of towers will be up. The delay in the arrival of the Iron work for the towers will cafuse some postponement post-ponement in stringing the 'cables, but In spite of all delays it is now assured that the plant will be completed on schedule time. Mr. Crowther reports much enthusiasm- at Alta, and states that the camp is growing bigger and better every day. - t of stocks traded in on the n.orr. :- call of the mining exchange was a. long one, but the higher priced M-cur!i:es were the recipients of little a tier. lion. None of the stocks showed an actual decline In price, and some showed advances so that the general trend of the market was distinctly higher, although the trading was scattering. scat-tering. . AJax attracted considerabls altenton and advanced steadily with the demand from 14o to 15c; although It was freely o.Tered at the latter price at the close. Daly was maintained at 12.60, and was even held higher at the close, most of tlie buying orders seeming to come fiom Park City. Silver Shield revived a trifle from the solar plexus punch which It received a few days ago, and sold as high as 10c, although it de-. de-. clined somewhat under heavy trading and closed a trifle lower. Little Chief was steady at 24c, and was in big de-" de-" mand at that price, with little coming out. New York maintained Its steady pace, although some sales were made below 23c, but the demand Is Increasing somewhat and the. stock closed firm In spite of the amount thrown on the mar-keL mar-keL Columbus Con., with the mill pgsln out of commission, sold at $1.25, with a nice block coming out at that price; Daly West excited mora Interest than It has for some days, nd fluctuated fluctu-ated between S12.47V and I12.62H, clos-Irrg clos-Irrg with $12.70 asked and $11 bid. Joe Bowers was readily obtained at from lMc to lc, and "Wabash was obtained at 65c, which is lower than It has bee.n for some weeks. May Day advanced . strongly, and at the finish 25c was to f be had for it, although not a great deal was obtainable at that price. Uncle Sam Con. also moved up and sold at 24c with a nice demand.
