Show MANY STOCKS ACTIVE AND MARKET IS STRONG Although the totals in cash of, the business done on the mining; exchange Satufday morning were less than usual there were many more stocks traded In. and several which are generally passed over without any attention whatsoever did a nice amount of business. Prices - r . were without much change, although ! there seems to be no Inclination to a decline The general trend of Vhe market mar-ket was strong. Consolidated Mercur did a small amount of business for the first time in many moons and while the prices ranging rang-ing between 36 and 36 cents were low . , there seemed to be a fair demand, . which, however, was exceeded by the supply. Lower Mammoth, whfch fluctuates fluc-tuates more than any stock on the board, opened very strong at 16 cents, but the amount thrown on the market forced the price down to 14 cents on the open board. The trading was heavy. Mammoth was obtainable at $1.20, although al-though very little stock was sold at that price. May Day opened slow and weak at 11 cents, but a number of orders came In during the call which forced the price up to 12 cents, with a fairly large amount of stock changing hands. Uncle Sam Consolidated showed little change, moving between 21 and 21 rents, and Little Chief was to be had . at 2 cents. New York, which has been attracting so much 'attention lately, late-ly, was steady and a trifle lower around 40 cents, and did not do as much business busi-ness as usual. Wabash sold more stock than at any time this week, the main ' amount going at $1.80. Silver Shield moved up to 8 cents and Star Consolidated Consoli-dated was steady at IS cents.

Butler-Liberal 13 .15 the city laughed the Idea to scorn, and wefe backed up by the officers of the company. The latter claimed that when the mill was finished the troubles of the management. In a financial way, would be over. That they are not is plainly to be seen by the above statement state-ment of a probable assessment. ' It tvas known and stated by The Telegram Tel-egram at the time when the first assessment was - paid Into the com panj-s treasury that it would requfra nearly the whole amount ot square up the Indebtedness under which the company com-pany stood at that time, and that the companywould be forced to go Into debt again If it continued work on the mine and mill. This has proven to be the case. The company has had a big payroll, both at the mine and mill, and it has been a case of aU going out and little or nothing coming In. The mill, while It has been In operation aome time, has not worked to complete satisfaction, if all reports from Alta are true, and it Is stated that the best results could not be gained on account of the shortage of water supply. Experts who have looked over the concentrates and tailings tail-ings at the mill have stated that while they were not sure, the .tailings looked entirely too rich for them, and they reared considerable values were being lost. . The (mill, however, has not been in commission long enough to get the kinks straightened .out and after things are well regulated " and the petty accidents acci-dents cease, the company will probably 'pull out all right. , J COPPKft BULLION OUTPUT. The output of basa copper bullion from the valley smelters for the past week shows a decided Increase, as was expected would be the case when the holidays were over. Utah Consolidated, however, did not produce as heavily as was expected but Bingham Consolidated surprised the talent. The total output It is probable that the usual monthly dividend will be declared.

Wasatch King by Manager Reynolds ' have attracted much attention and have been the means of Inciting interest inter-est which will mean much profit to the company. Superintendent Ed Freudenthal of the Majestic company haa been greatly Interested In-terested in the samples and has exam- ' Ined them closely. He wa Impressed with the quality of Iron ore which is found in the Wasatch King and says that It is the best he ever saw in Beaver Bea-ver county for fluxing purposes. He went so far as to say that the Majes- - tic company would take all of the iron ore off the hands of the Wasatch King which that property can produce as soon as the Majestic smelter is running. Of course a promise like this Is uncertain uncer-tain as the Majestic may get into one of Its periodical financial troubles and not start -the smelter, but at least It shows Manager Reynolds that he has a valu- ' able product In the Iron ore body. This iron ore has never been specially spe-cially opened up but a large tonnage is already In sight. The ore Im a hematite . ani rarriA ahoat 60 ner cent excess for the independent plants was 928,851 pounds and was divided as follows: , Bingham Con , 304.241 United States ...258,488 Utah Con .866.123 Total 928,851 .

The Horn Sliver company has shipped 1000 tons of sine ore from its mine -at Frisco to the zinc smelters at Iola, Kan. This shipment is in the nature of an experiment and if it Is proven that the Horn Silver sine ore can be shipped at a profit it is practically certain that a large contract will be made. The Horn Silver has hundreds of thousands of tons of high grade xlnc ore which carries car-ries an ounce or two or silver exposed, and it is the Intention to make this ore yield a profit to the company. The contracts If entered into will not interfere inter-fere with the working of the Peck sine plant now being constructed. The Peck plant has only a capacity of 300 tons a day and there Is an Immense tonnage of tailings for it to work on. EXPECTS FINE OEE BODY. Samuel Mclntyre of the Mammoth of Tintlc reports that the ore body followed fol-lowed down from the 1900-foot level In a wlnxe has been cut by the east drift on the 2100-foot level, which has been drifting for It. " Shipments from this level will begin at once. Mr. Mclntyre ( also reports that in the northwest drift on the same level there has been a decided de-cided change in the formation and from the Indications he is sure that a fine ore body Is being approached.
