The topic of the week in mining and
commercial circles has been the con-
tinued depression of Horn Silver on the
New York market. To reporters Major
Hill manl1ests the most profound ig=
norance of as well as the most .stolid
Indifference to the causes which have
led to the almost unparalleled decline;
but there are rumors flying about the
street, and some of them are traceable
to very intimate associates of the Horn
Silver magnates; about the most definite
rumor is that the bottom of the mine,
as one gentleman put it, is looking
pretty devilish bad; another report
has it that Frank Brown went down
and viewed the mine, returned to New
York, and the stock broke about the
time of his arrival there-which is held
out as suggestive of the fact that he did
some unloading; still another rumor
puts it that the February dividend will
be passed, owing to the low price of lead,
and that it Is the knowledge of this fact
which has run the stock down so
recently. Against all this. however, we
have the fact that daily shipments are
reported in THE HERALD with unyarying
regularity, over $4,000 in bullion hav-
ing come up during the past week. At
the Deseret National Bank. it was
learned yesterday that several local
purchasers had bought in at 1915
pretty considerable amounts of the
stock. Who these purchasers are was
not learned. but it is understood that
they are mainly ION the inside"

to The Star man the other day, as the

Yes, receptions break china very
fast, but wesget paid for all that, and

in Washington where there is not hired

Estimate OF Utah.

The San Francisco Chronicle, in its
New Years number-one of the most
voluminous and exhaustive papers which
we have received-devotes half column
to Utah; much of the matter is dis
colored with the rabid views of some
Utah Liberal, and that we pass by; the
mining and stock part of it we repro
duce, even though the latter may be a
little out of place in this column.
The mining interests of the Territory
are in the main as slow of growth as the
population. There have never been any
placers found of much richness. In a
small way Bingham has for ten years
turned out some gold from gravel in one
of its canyons, but the amount is small
The quartz mines have done better,
causing Utah to take fourth rank as
silver producer. The total value of the
mineral product of this Territory for
1888 was $6.872, 0S5. of which there was
1901 1853 ounces of silver. The output
for 1884 will not vary much from tkese
figures. The Territory contains two of
the greatest silver mines now worked
the Ontario, which has paid more than
Sc, 600 900 in dividends, with never an as
sessment, and the Horn Silver, which for
two years has been paying dividends of
$500, 600 quarter. The product of these
two mines this year will be more than
half the output of the whole Territory,
though there are number Of well-pay-
ing properties being worked. The fam
Gus Sandstone district, at Silver Reef,
has apparently seen its best days,
though it has not ceased shipments of
pure silver bricks and has great guam
titles of low grade ore, which only wait
some cheap method of handling to be
come once more large shipper. The
live stock interests of the Territory are
large in horses, cattle and sheep, and
strong efforts are making to improve
the grade of livestock. The cattle ranges
are becoming more restricted year by
year, partly by the spread of the settle
ments. but perhaps even more by the
encroachments las the cattlemen call It)
of the sheep herds. Yet the improve
ment of the horned stock and the more
general small holdings of it keep up the
number and value of those on hand.
Utah horses have not been noted for
their fine points. but there is improve
ment in this and some fine animals are
now raised in the Territory There is
yet. however, large room for effort. The
isheep raisers have been rather intiItai-
dated by the threatened repeal of tthe
wool tariff, reckoning that when this is
done their occupation would be gone.
The lowering OF the duty on wool by
the tariff of March 8. 1883, was a severe
blow to them and has cost them a great
deal of money, but they have struggled
on, hoping for better things.
