ance was inactive Gas had lower
tendency. Anchor is pegging away in
the same old lines and bidding was
slightly more spirited than during the
previous week.
Began was not in very heavy de-
mand. Work at the properties con-
tinueS about the same as usual. Bull
lion-Beck was wanted. but not at the
holding price. It is possible that the
company will pay an increased divi-
dend next month. Centennial-Eureka
continues to gain strength and a num-
Der of heavy buyers were in the field
at last weeks quotations, at which
some considerable business was done.
The usual extra double dividend of 81
per share will doubtless come to the
stockholders on the LIST. This will make
81 per share for the month. or $50, 600
Some of the insiders of Comstock have
adjusted their differences and as a
result the delinauent assessment list
was shortened.
Dalton did not show any particular
strength. The annual meeting will be
held today and some changes will
doubtless be made. Work at the pro-
perties is being pushed with consid-
cradle yigor and the showing of ore
is as satisfactory as ever. Daily dis
played great strength again. it being
now freely circulated that the company
will declare a dividend next month.
Should such prove to be the case there
is no doubt but that the stock will con-
tinue to advance. Daly-West is just
getting it's new mill into good working
order. Dividends for this company
should not be so very far away.
Horn Silver did not come out in any
great amount. The buyers were ready
for the reception of the stock, but the
sellers held too high for them. The
properties are making a good record
of production. Lucky Bill is adver-
Using the last assessment of 2 cents
per share.
Mammoth showed more strength
than during the previous week, con-
siderable business being done in the
stock. DEVELOPMENT work and ore eX-
traction continues as heavy as ever.
Morgan (Meears) came in for consider
able attention. but buyers and sellers
did not get together to any marked
extent. The board of directors of the
Mercur company has about come to
the conclusion that this is the time
for the erection of a new 200 or 400-ton
plant near the mines of the company.
Recent DEVELOPMENTS in the mine and
the rate of extraction make such ac-
tion almost if not quite imperative.

sold at 81 per share. An increased pro-
duction would mean a largely in
creased dividend.
Ontario came in for it's share of att
tention and bids of 1915 per share
failed to bring out any of the stock.
The old reliable has legion of strong
friends who are firm in the faith that
dividends will not only be regular in
the future. but will also be increased.
The company paws a dividend today of
10 cents per share or $4,000. The pro-
perties are in splendid shape. For 40
we'll founded reason Rover showed
some weakness. 1t is evident that the
impatient ones did not care to wait for
a legitimate advance. but desired to
get their money into what they con-
slider more active stocks. The proper
ties are being extensively developed
prove. Silver King was held very
firmly, sellers declining to meet even
an offer of SIS. Sunshine also dis
played some weakness. the sole rea-
son being the lack of information. The
company deems it better policy to work
along quietly for some time to come
without gratifying the curiosity of the
public in an official manner. The mill
is doing good work and shipments Of
product are regular. It is thought
