Notwithstanding the fact that silver
closed but little higher yesterday thar
was the case on Saturday of last weel
the producers of the white metal are
feeling considerably encouraged and
have not lost faith in the indication:
which point to steady, though prob
ably slow, advance in the market
There was no change reported from
either London or New York yesterday
the latest quota ion of 65s4 cents re
ceived on Friday holding over The
San Francisco quotation Of 65B cents
also remained stationary. With silver
at 20 cents, which point 1t is expected
to reach long ere September shall have
winged away, many Of the properties
of this territory which are now idle and
have been in that condition for months
Will be enabled to resume operations
at least on a limited scale, and those
which have continued working despite
the slump in the market will be en-
abled to produce a great deal more ore
and thereby increase the business OF
the territory. The week has not been
marked by great fluctuations in silver,
the market moving up and down in
about the same ratio. Lead was un-
changed and is still the same old So. Is
fixed by the Lead trust nearly a month
ago.
AS is always the case, the very best
of reports have been received from the
gold camps, the most interesting being
TO the effect that Mercur is to have
another cyanide mill, making three for
the district. It is to be located on the
Geyser property and will be of fifty-ton
capacity. The recent change in the
control of the group makes the erection
OF the plant possible, the new owners
putting the mill into the company in
accordance with the provisions of the
contract of sale. Just as soon as the
Mercur and Salt Lake railroad people
can get their road completed to the mill
CT the Mercur Gold Mining and Milling
company the latter will ship in the ma
terials and machinery for the enlarge
ment of the present plant to $50 tons
capacity. The construction of the little
road is now being rapidly pushed and
its completion to the mill should be but
the matter Of few weeks. The output
of the Mercur company for the second
half of the month of August was a rec
ord breaker and will even outstrip that
of the first two weeks. On Friday the
company maintained its reputation and
declared a dividend Of $4,000, making
s150,000 in earnings which have been
distributed since the change in the con-
troll of the company. The Sunshine peo-
pie are pushing their development work
vigorously, and while the mill matter
has not yet been definitely settled it is
more than likely that they will put up
the fourth plant for the district before
the end of the year. The efforts of the
Glencoe owners have been rewarded at
last by two good strikes both of which
give average returns Of SO in gold. This
is the first pay rock yet taken Tout of
the Glencoe, the first operators having
lost the lead from the start. When
Judge Dergy took hold Of the property
for the owners, of which he is the prin-
cipal, he did so with determination to

GREAT COAL ENTERPRISE.
Diamond Coal nnd Coke Company
VIII Have a New Plant.

Superintendent Robert Forester of
the Diamond Coal and Coke company,
was in the city yesterday and in close
consultation with the local officers of
the company, which, while its mines
are in Wyoming, is a strictly Utah
enterprise. The company has just de-
clded to put in an entirely new plant
at the mines, which are located near
Diamondville, Wy, and will eXpend in
the nefghborhood of $4,000 on the i'm
provements. Contracts for the ma
chinery are to be let within the next
few days and it is expected that the
plant will be in operation within ninety
days. 1t will have a capacity of from
500 to 1000 tons daily and the trestle
is to be of 1000 tons capacity.
This property is looked upon as one
of the finest in the state of Wyoming,
whose coal mines are it's pride, and
for some time it has been sending three
cars of coal daily into the Salt Lake
market. 1t is very superior article
and is second to none for storage. One
company has been out Of the ground
for two years and does not show a
crack or check The company has
seven feet of Peacock coal and seven
feet more of the regular class of fuel.
Several analyses of the coal give an
average of 95 per cent. heating ele-
ments, which makes 1t particularly
desirable for steaming purposes. The
company expects to furnish the Utah
market with very superior quality
of it's product and will make an effort
to get into the middle and eastern and
western markets

MARKET DULL, BUT PRICES HIGH
Every Indication Points 10 Improved
Conditions In a Mining Way.

1.-THE stock market this week has
been quiet, and as far as trading is
concerned, disappointing in the ex-
treme," said James A. Pollock yester-
day afternoon to a Herald reporter
Enquiries have been numerous and
productive of orders, which, if they
could have been filled, would have
strained the market to supply. But
there has been a wide divergence of
opinion between buyers and sellers as
/ to values and but few trades have been
contaminated. 1t is gratifying, how
ever, to state that the general tenden-
cy has been towards higher prices in
all the first-class securities. Even the
low-priced stocks have come in for
fair show of interest and are beginning
to show life and buoyancy and should
the movement continue it might lift
these drones out of the slough of des-
pond There are many excellent op-
portunitieS for investment in the stocks
of mining companies having property
that requires development and there
are many properties within my knowl-
edge that could be put on a paying
basis by the judicious expenditure of a
small amount of capital. Many of
these mines have just reached the turn
ling point and are being looked into
with some degree of interest by mon
ded people who believe in the future
1t is always well to remember, that a
good new mine is better than a good
old one, and while the chances of loss
may be greater in the former, the
chances of making a big winning takes

has not quite reached the point where

EXPERT FINANCIERING."

The gold in the treasury is now
only $40, 100000. How long did
Secretary Carlisle's issue of bonds
keep up the 500, 900, 900 gold re-
serve? Another issue of bonds is
proposed. How long will it take to
exhaust the gold thus added to the
stock in the treasury? Isn't this
a policy of sheer lunacy.
Secretary Carlisle has been re-
garded as an able inancier, but this
opinion of him has been shaken in
many minds since he has been the
head of the Treasury Department.
Before his entrance into the Cleve-
land Cabinet he was a pronounced
advocate of silver, and was not even
opposed to its free coinage. Since
he has held the portfolio Of the Treas
ury, he seems to have surrendered
the convictions of years, and the
policy he had pursued during all his
previous public career, and put on
the made to-order garment Of the
gods of Wall Street.
What sense is there in redeemlng,
in gold, treasury notes which say on
their faces they are redeemable sin
coin," and issuing bonds to keep up
the gold reserve, much Of the gold
being drawn from the treasury to
pay for these bonds, thus creating
a larger debt with every issue Of
bonds, and no permanent good result
ing to the government from it all.
The only persons who are satisfied
with these things are the national
bankers. They virtually trade nom
interest bearing currency for gilt
edged government bonds that run for
twenty years at a comparatively
high rate of interest, and buy these
bonds at scaled prices. This may
be excellent financiering, but 1t will
not so appear to the average reader.
From all appearances 1t Is a scheme
the bankers, by the bankers and for
the bankers.
