the East Regarding Stocks.

James a. Pollock will say in his
weekly mining share market letter i'm
der date Of October Is, 1895:
The mining stock market is keeping
up tone of healthy activity and there
is a continuation of eastern inquiries
for mining stocks and properties,
which serves to indicate mat our
friends from that quarter are awaken
ing to the possibilities now opening up
in this branch of speculation. The
whole country seems to be on the eve
of being inoculated with the craze for
gold mines, and as | have SO frequent
ly predicted in my letters during the
past twelve months, the result can
not but be to carry present prices Of
stock to a much higher level
Our great gold camp Of Mercur is
coming on magnificently, and the
amount of ore that steady development
work is showing up is nothing short
Of phenomenal. The district has at
present in operation and in course of
erection mills capable of handling in
the neighborhood of several hundred
tons of ore every day, and this will be
Increased to one thousand tons by the
first Of the coming year. To all of my
clients [ suggest to get into Mercur
and get in early. Mercur stocks are
sure to have a genuine boom, and the
movement is likely to come at any
moment. My individual opinion is that
there is no gold camp in the west Of
fering such excellent opportunities for
the investment of capital as that of
Mercur. 1t is destined to take the
place not only as one of the greatest
gold camps in America, but that of the
world
Ajax is shipping an excellent grade
of ore and the effect has been to pro-
duce an increased demand for the
stock which is rapidly ranging to-
wards higher prices. Holders of AL
lance display exemplary confidence
and patience. All stocks that come out
is quickly absorbed and the offerings
are growing more limited. There is
every prospect Of the hopes of the
stockholders being realized in the very
near future. Anchor was never known
to be queter, and the mine was never
in better condition. There is no news
of interest coming from Bullion Beck.
Observation-Disclosures declared and paid
it's regular dividend of 81 per share on
the 18th inst. This carries the total
dividends to date to 1,350,Q00, and out
of this 1896. 900 has been paid this year
The mine is developing enormous re-
f
ton today than ever before in it's his
tory. Comstock is being offered freely
but there are no buyers. Dalton main
tains it's activity and at quoted prices
( is readily absorbed. ] have authentic
information that important develop
ments are expected to take place in
I the course of the next fortnight Dial
( ton is undoubtedly a buy. DAILY will
pay my friends big profits; buy 1t, holo
it. stick to it, and buy more ana put
it away. The mine never looked bet
ter and the outlook for silver was
never more promising, and the stock
is intrinsically worth far in excess OF
the selling price of today. Daly-West
lfvened up. and was quite active There
ought not to be a share of this stock
on the market a present prices Ihert
( will be much signing ere long for los
opportunities in this stock, and in the
meantime all available shares are De-
ing picked up by the knowing ones.
Horn Silver is 50 bid. and this price
| brings out no stock. The shares must
/ advance. There are free offerings OF
Lucky Bill. but not much stock sell
/ ING. Mammoth is making a wonderful
Z showing. and I look TO pay dividends
! before many months. Demand is gOOt
/ and but little stock coming out. Nor
/ Gan is taking out good ore. but stocl
sales are limited. Mercur continues L
maintain its lead. Steadily advancing
! and available stock growing more linn
/ tied. Shares have undoubtedly gone
into strong hands, which have beer
/ bought for investment purposes. II the
report of the recent strike of $11 orr
in the extreme end of the Mercu1
! ground be true it will demonstrate tina
the ore body continues through the en-
! +i,.o 1opotI Of the nrOpertY sometime
near :. 900 feet. The regular dividend
sos 600, will be paid on the 21st. On
tario rather quiet. Silver King offer
ings are limited The stock is sellins
on a purely investment basis. The fac
of the Tetro tunnel is in likely look
ing rock. Utah is shipping steadily
and can increase the output at will.
