General Trade Review.

The week has passed. with scarcely a
ripple of excitement in business circles.
The usual steady trade has been done. A
remarkable feature, ana one that is worth
chronicling, is the statement made by the
collectors, that it has been many moons
since they met with such good success in
their usual monthly rounds. This, of
itself, would seem to indicate plenty of
money in circulation.
The wholesalers have long since made
inroads on their fall and winter goods to
fill the orders of their country patrons,
and now the retailers are beginning to
show the varied styles of Injuries and
necessities they have on hand for the com
ing season.
Remittances from the country are re-
ported as improving, and as being very
satisfactory.
There is no cessation to the building
boom. During the week, tenants of an
other Main street property were notified
10 yacate in order that three-story brick
might replace the present unsightly struc-
ture.
Miners and mine-owners should not fail
10 remember the invitation of the Deseret
Agricultural and Manufacturing society
aud forward specimens of ores and miner
ais for the permanent exhibit to be estab-
lished in connection with the territorial ex-
position. This exhibit can be made one of
the most popular and interesting in the
fair. 1t rests solely with our mining men
whether it shall or shall not be made
The local sugar market is close, there be
ing merely hand to-mouth supply. As
yet, however, there has been no famine,
and one is not apprehended. Higher
prices may rule, however.
Special attention is given in this issue to
a number Of the mining properties of Idaho.
Some Of them show results that are simply
astounding. Our special reports from our
sister territory indicate big awakening
in her mining interests.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-09-08

For years, small pebbles of "float TIM
have been found in some of the streams
of Idaho, in the Owyhee, for instance.
But ii is only within a few days that its
native lode has been found. A dozen or
fifteen years ago, two mines were worked
for gold near Idaho city. The results were
not satisfactory, and the mines abandoned.
A brick from. these early workings was
pronounced largely plumbagO. This old
brick has been in the way in one of our
banking houses, where it caught the eye of
DR. Binans. a delegate to the constitutional
convention from ShOshone county. The
doctor is a mining expert, and he thought
he discovered tin in the old brick; so he
begged a piece, which was submitted to
an assay, and which revealed the interest
ing fact that y per cent. of this mixture
of metals was tin. The doctor learned
from his fellOw-delegate, Hon. George Aims
lie, the location of the two mines, and since
the Adjournment of the convention, these
two worthy gentlemen have relocated the
same, and the indications are that we have
at least two good tin mines in Idaho

Trade in the East.

Our latest mail advices from New York
are the effect in t busine IS in all parts of
the country continues to improve with the
stimulus OF large crops. Chicago reports
immense Increase in receipts of grain and
provisions, with c0nsi ierable gain in sales
of dry gOols and clothing. Milwaukee
finds trade improving; at Detroit and st.
Paul previous improvement is maintained:
at Omaha business is very good. and
though trade at Kansas City is rather
quiet, the demand for money is charging.
AT Cleveland and Pittsburg the iron bust
ness is expanding. and at Philadelphia i'm
provement is noted in woods, groceries, iron
aud Steel and tueir products, aud il coal.
wi h good trade in drugs and chemicals and
tobacco. AT Boston sales of wool are
larger, reaching 2,l0J00J pounds for the
week, and the goods trade is large, with
prices well maintained.
The interior money markets are so well
supplied that the lack of supply for com
M. cial purposes at the chief eastern cities
IS the more noticeable. At Milwaukee
there is more activity and strong demand,
and at Chicago the demand is good, but in
general the supply IS ample at the usual
rates. Collections are improving at
Omaha, and rather better at Philadelphia,
but at most points the absence of complaint
is noteworthy. The movement of money
through the treasury to the interior con
tinueS, aud would doubtless have caused
some pressure here but for the liberal sales
of bonds, While the bank of England has
raised its rate of discount, thus evincing
disposition TO prevent any outflow of gold
to this country, the sales of commercial
bills against cotton and other crops have
been large, and the exports from New York
for four weeks exceed last years by nearly
% per cent, the increase on imports being
a little larger.
1t is an encouraging fact, also, that the
important failures Of recent weeks have
not produced the large crop of minor dis
asters by many apprehended The volume
of trade is still mach above that OF last
year, and clearings show gain of So per
cent outside of New York. In the specu-
latiye markets the general tendency has
been toward lower prices, though wheat
advanced on extrayagant reports of short

The Horn Silver.

Horn Silver is stock which, according
to its supporters, is selling far below it's
intrinsic value. The company, on August
LIST, had a cash surplus of S239, 900, drawing
interest with the United States Trust com
pany at the rate of 2 per cent, and the
company also holds, as collateral, for its
claim against its ex-president, Charles G.
Francklyn, land in Kentucky and mining
property in Nevada, on which, according to
Secretary A. L. Harrison, at least $3.50, 900
could easily be realized. The friends Of
the company, therefore, argue that as it
has assets of about $500, 900 in addition to
its mine and equipment, which, up to 1894,
paid 81, 900, 900 in dividends, the shares are
altogether too low, at about $l.25 each, the
entquotation. There are 400, 900 shares
in the company.
On the other hand, it must be remem-
bered that the recent expert report on the
property was not such as to encourage
hopes that the mine may ever again be ''in
bonanza and years of expensive develop
ment work making serious inroads on the
present surplus, may be in store for the
stockholders, and, furthermore, there must
always be some doubt as to the value of
Francklyn's collateral until it is converted
into cash.
lnasmuch as the Horn Silver surplus has
now reached about S240, 900, there is some
speculation as to when dividend may be
expected. Weare informed that it is Pres
ident Washington's desire to wait until the
cash surplus amounts to $4,000 when he
will be able to pay four quarterly dividends
of $4,000 each, 10 cents a share and will
still have Surplus fund of Sl50,000 to pro
vide for the thorough exploration and de
velOpment Of the property. The annual
meeting of the stockholders will be held as
usual in Salt Lake city, on October LIST.
No great contest over the election of trus-
tees is at present anticipated, but no one
knows how much opposition may develop
within the next few weeks. 1t is to he
presumed that the friends of the ex-treas
urer, J. T. Little, may not be feeling alto
gether pleasant, and there is always pos
sibility that eXPresident Francklyn and
his friends may endeavor to regain control
