He was also one of the principal factors in securing the National convention of Elks for this city in 1902. on April 5, 1901, mining Comment. The unexpected often happens. It has been so with regard to mining stocks. Brokers and mining men generally expected a dull time on the exchange in July and August, and for September great activity and advancing prices were predicted. The reverse ha. happened. July and August were remarkable for the amount of business done on the exchange, and the buoyancy of prices, but with the opening of September a general slump began and does not appear to' be over yet. A general decline in prices of from 25 per cent to 30 per cent has taken place. Dividend-payin- g stock and producing have good prospects which properties of becoming dividend payers in the near future have suffered more in the general decline than mere prospects, probably because there was more activity in the former class of properties. Brokers account for the slump on the theory that things were overdone, and the inevitable day of reckoning had to come. Just how long the securities will continue on the toboggan slide is problematical, but it looks as if intending investors would not lose anything by holding back for a time. A. W. RAYBOULD. A. W.

There seems to be a growing opinion that the Salt Lake Mining exchange is not contributing to the development of the mining industries as a quasi public institution of its nature should. It is urged that while new mines are being developed as never before and the ore and bullion settlements far exceed the settlements of former years the number of properties listed on the exchange is scarcely larger than it was a year ago. While the volume of business transacted by the exchange is continually growing, it is stated, the figures are mllseading, QUEEN MABELLE. for the reason that a large per centage of sales are made between the brokers and that frequently when it is announthere and at Louisville and Ottumwa and moved to Washington, D.
