This list is incomplete, as many Utah mines have been and are now operated at great profit by individuals and close corporations that do not publish their dividends. Twelve millions would be a conservative estimate of the amount of dividends paid by these mines. TUNING STOCK REVIEW. The period of depression in stocks continues and no marked improvement is looked for until after the Chicago convention, when the effect of its action upon the financial world shall have become known. All other speculative centers are suffering from stagnation, and while this is undoubtedly a good time to buy and a poor time to sell, owing to the low prices, the sellers continue to be more numerous than the buyers. The failure of the bank of Salt Lake weakened the market to some extent, although few, if any, of the operators suffered in heavy amounts. The week shows losses on almost the entire list. There has been considerable local trading in the cheaper stocks, but outside orders have been light and the high priced shares have been neglected. The governing committee of the Salt Lake Stock and Mining Exchange has decided that the exchange shall have a vacation of thirty days, commencing today. Ajax continues to be one of the strongest stocks on the list and there has been some trading at 85S0 cents. Anchor, Alliance and Annie showed little life. Bullion-Bec- k sold at about $6.75. to be a good prospect seems now There for regular monthly dividends of 15 cents per share. There was nothing do- ing in Brick Consolidated. While there is still some inquiry for Centennial-Eurekthe stock has been held at prices preventing sales. Yesterday, however, there were offerings at $77.

Dalton & Lark sold down to 45 cents, notwithstanding regular dividend payments and improved conditions at the mine. Eagle is offered at lower prices and East Golden Gate was hammered to the wall, a small block selling at 6 cents, subsequent offerings, however, being at double that figure. a, st Four Aces made no better showing than the previous week, and quotations are unchanged. The output of the property is not being pushed, but development work is being prosecuted vigorously. Galena was weaker, in common with the rest of the list. Regular ore ship ments continue and the usual dividend of 5 cents per share will be paid on the 10th. A car of Galena ore marketed during the week averaged 62.S per cent lead and 104 ounces silver, and was settled for at $SS per ton. It is costing the company $14 per ton to transport its product to market. Geyser is held at unchanged prices, willi no buyers in the field. The future of the stock depends largely upon the result of the Geyser-Mario- n suit, now on trial. Horn Silver is one of the very few stocks that is holding its own, but it is held at higher prices than buyers are willing to pay. The announcement of a dividend of 12 cents per share seems to have been premature, as no official confirmation of the report has been received. Mammoth has sagged off a few points since the announcement of the dividend of 5 cents per share, which was paid yesterday. The stock is still in active addemand, however, and a vance before the end of theslight month is more likely than a further decline. The new 2500-fohoist, just ordered, will facilitate deep development, as well as ore extraction, but it will not be in operation for some months. Mercur went down the toboggan slide at a rapid pace during the week and was offered as low at $6.30, with no apparent cause, except the passing of the dividend and the general sluggish disposition. As a matter of fact, the passing of the dividend was of no significance, as affecting the value of the stocks, as the earnings are not diminished and the amount simply increases the surplus in the treasury. Ontario was offered at lower prices, but there are no buyers at above $11. The company made a shipment of $3000 worth of ore last week and $12,000 worth of silver bullion. The annual report for the year 1S95 is now in the hands of ttie printer and will be made public within a few days.
