Mining Stock Review . The week has been one of great activity in the local mining share market, and the invest ment stocks have generally enjoyed advances, while many of the prospective dividend payers have received good attention and are quoted higher. The transation on the Salt Lake Stock Exchange were about the heaviest in the volume of shares and the cash involved that the organization has enjoyed, while curb business has been more than usually active. The holders of Anchor evince an abiding faith in the property and put their price up accordingly. There is a good demand for the stock but buyers do not yet find any attraction in the figure at which it is offered. No action has yet been taken looking to a resumpiion of work at the mines, but it is confidently believed that the date is not far in the future. Ajax is in good demand and is stronger. The company has discharged all the mortgages and the floating debts against the property, and as the mines are constantly producing great quantities of good grade ore, dividends can reasonably be expected in the near future. Bullion-Bec- k is a favorite in the market and holds up to a good figure. On the 21st a dividend of 15 cents per share was paid, which brings the total dividends to date up to $2,197,-00Those familiar with the property state that the mines are in a condition to pay regular triple dividends monthly.

For the past ninety days it has held what is practically one position in the market. Galena is slow in recovering from the bear raid tof a week ago, but while none of the stock has been drawn in, there is a good demand for it at shaded prices. Geyser is down again, being a dollar offering, the decline being due to the whims of the market. Horn silver is without movement. It is eleven months since the stock declared a dividend, and the management states that while the years operations have been profitable, a great deal of money has been put back into heavy improvements and development work, and that no dividend is likely at the close of the year. The sensation of the week was caused by Mammoth which advanced 42 per cent, only to fall back at the close. The advance started on the rumor that an option, with a purchase price of 2,000,000 had been given a syndicate, and this was augmented by the hope of a December dividend and some remarkably high gold assays obtained from ore on the lower level. The dividend was not declared, but there is some foundation for the rumor of a deal. No option has yet been given on the property, but one is being sought, at a figure, however, below 5 a share. The rich gold ore was taken from and was from a streak that had the first been encountered on the 1300. It assayed 211 ounces gold, which is the highest ever obtained from it, and proves conclusively that it increases in richness with depth. Mercur holds a steady pkice in the market, and while there is an eager demand for the stock, only a limited number of shares changed hands.
