With a holiday in the week and hence only five calls the local mining exchange witnessed the transfer, up to Wednesday night, of 222,317 shares as against 202,460 for the preceding six-day six-day week. The value, however, was only $78)724.88 as against $104,896.56. Ore and bullion settlements held up very well, being $467,900, a loss of only $19,200 from the preceding six-day week. The upward up-ward trend of prices continued almost unchecked. Ten leading stocks which sold at the beginning of the week for $6.864 were worth at its close $7.76J. The radical increases were in Little Chief, which made a sudden bound from 15 cents a share to 4J ; Little Bell, which was rung up from $2.65 to $3.30, and Columbus Consolidated, which started at $2.65 and barely missed the $3.00 mark at $2.98. Less pronounced was the advance of Ajax, from 20 to 21; Carisa, from 20y2 to 22, and Star Consolidated from 11 to 12. The declines were unimportant. Lower Mammoth went from 38 to 36; May Day from 12 to 12; New York from 20 to 174, and Silver Shield from 26 to 22. Outside orders are giving the market a very healthy tone and the volume of business is not likely to fall off for some time. It is hardly to be expected, however, that there will be an uninterrupted' uninter-rupted' advance in prices and reactions may be expected ex-pected if one or more of the market favorites fails to justify the confidence reposed in it by the buyers. BINGHAM. Transportation facilities on the Copper Belt road are improved this week and the mills are getting back to their normal output. The St. Joe tunnel is now in 2,405 feet. The Shawmut mill will receive custom ore until the company properties prop-erties are producing enough to keep it busy. Ten cars of concentrates were shipped by the New England company last month.. Two shifts are now employed in the mill. The prospecting done by the Guggenheim Exploration company in the Utah Copper property is said to have shown twenty million tons of ore blocked out, while the diamond drills proved the continuity of the ore bodies for 400 and 500 feet below the present workings. TINTIC. P.umors of an important strike on the Little Chief have caused shares of that company to be in great demand this week, but the rumors have not been confirmed. The Swansea Mining Company Com-pany has declared a dividend of 5 cents a share, payable Dec. 20. Since June 1 the mine has been sending out an average of about a car a day. The new ore body on the 500 level of the Bullion-Beck Bullion-Beck is producing some very rich ore, some of which is said to have netted between $5,000 and jH $6,000 a car. -It was reported Saturday that the Carisa had opened a good vein at the 200 and-700 levels. On the 'former the values are said to be in the neighborhood of $100 a ton, while the vein lower down is nine feet thick, and runs 12 per ' cent copper. Tctro shaft is down 100 feet and has 200 feet more to go to the quartz ledge. Ore shipments for last week amounted to 160"'cars, 1 46 being from the Centennial, 19 from Gemini and 14 from Mammoth.
