With the holidays and the old year out of the way the decks are cleared for action and the buyers and sellers of mining stock have set a pace that will, if maintained, soon make 1906 a record-breaking year. Fairly reliable estimates give the brokers output figures that may be "pointed to with pride." The production of gold for 1905 is given at $7,000,000 in round numbers; silver at $8,300,000; lead at $4,500,000; copper at $9,000,000, and zinc and mercury at $500,000, the total being about 30,000,000, against 26,500,000 in 1904. The dividend list, led by Utah Consolidated, with $1,350,000, aggregates $4,223,000. On 'change the number of shares sold during the year was 7,246,581; value, $2,316,136.51. The year's ore and bullion settlements foot up to $24,186,534. Prices of individual stocks have more than made up the decline which occurred during Christmas week. Ten of the most active shares made an aggregate gain of $1.50, rising from $11.0234 to $12.52. The most conspicuous gain wag by Eagle & Blue Bell, which jumped, on rumors of a copper cop-per combine and heavy buying, from $1.02 to $2.00. Lower Mammoth went from 37 to 40; May Day from 12 to 12; Columbus from $4 to $4.4754; New York, 18 to 24, and Little Chief from 3 to 3. Carisa lost one cent, closing on Wednesday night at 21. Beck Tunnel, which began be-gan at 65, lost the extra fraction. Ajax was unchanged un-changed at 47 and Little Bell at $4.15. During the five-day week the shares sold numbered 205,143 for which $116,897.71 was paid. Ore and bullion settlements for the same period amounted to $509,800. BINGHAM. The purchase of the control of Butler-Liberal by individuals identified with the Red Wing company com-pany led to the report that the two properties would be consolidated. This is denied.. Another big deal was consummated when the stockholders of the Petro ratified the sale of the property to the Utah Apex for $30,000, or 15 cents a share. The Ohio, on the 400 level, has entered the sulphide sul-phide stratum and is getting ore that runs as high as 26 per cent copper, a big gain in value over the porphyries in which the work has hitherto hith-erto been prosecuted. Lessees are cleaning out the 1,400-foot tunnel of the Bingham & Eastern company, and will make surveys as a preliminary to the resumption of exploratory work. By the end of this week it is expected that the Boston Consolidated will have its five-ton test mill going. TINTIC. The Bullion-Beck Tunnel company began the year by declaring a dividend of 1 cents, or $15,-000. $15,-000. This is an increase of $5,000 over the first dividend declared in November. Little Chief company has acquired two claims on its Gemini side with three years to make payment for them. The new ground will be cross-cut on the. 900 level of the Diminutive Sachem. Lower Mammoth's crosscut on the 1,500 level is now within eighty to ninety feet of the fissure and the ground is daily showing additional evidence of mineralization. Ninety-one tons of ore shipped last week netted an average of $16 a ton. This was from the winze 1 on the West fissure. With nothing new at the mine to account for it Eagle & Blue Bell stock has been bid up to $1.96 from $1 a share. The control is held by the Binghan Consolidated. Rumors of a strike in the Ajax are denied by the general manager. During the last week in De- i cember the Tintic district sent out 119 cars of ore. j The Centennial had 45, Gemini 24, and Eureka- Hil lessees 12 cars. jH PARK CITY. H Good progress is being made in clearing the debris from the Ontario drain tunnel and the water is flowing from the mine rapidly, but the place where the stream enters the tunnels has not yet been reached. The Odin has made its first ship-ment, ship-ment, the ore coming from the bedded vein through which the tunnel is being driven toward the contact After a number of trivial, but an-noying an-noying accidents, the Daly-Judge mill is working steadily. The Silver King Consolidated shaft has encountered a rift in the lime which carries away most of the water and is expected to do away with the necessity for pumping in the near future. This 'H would save several thousand dollars of expense 'WM each month. A car shipped last week brought the PT "Jf New York Bonanza $1,500. On the 700 level the j 'jj cross-cut is within fifty or sixty feet of the con- j tact and the winze from the 800 is down 60 feet in some rich ore. ALL OVER UTAH. H The Pittsburg Consolidated, owning claims in the Little Cottonwood district, has decided to raise money for the development and equipment of its ground by selling $50,000 of first mortgage bonds. The plan is to reach the ore bodies by a i tunnel from the Alta side of the divide and thus bring the mineral much nearer to market. t -H Columbus Consolidated at Alta is shipping about twenty tons of ore, all taken out in the course of development, every day. One hundred tons recently brought the company $6,800. Regular shipments have begun from the Eureka-Ophir in Dry canyon. The ore comes from a shoot tapped on both the 300 and 400 levels. It sometimes runs better than 10 per cent copper besides carrying considerable lead, silver and gold. , H It is reported from Ibapah that the owners of the Krug group, while doing assessment work ; above their working shaft ran into a strong vein of very rich gold ore which is being sacked for market. |
