The mining share market was some
what weak yesterday and in the pit
of the Stock Exchange there was but
little activity, although a few trans
fers We're recorded.
In some of the stocks small gains
were noted. while in others slight losses
were recorded; but on the whole there
was not much of a change from the
closing quotations of the previous day.
The listed stocks were inactive and
yet they drew out considerable inquiry
from investors. Anchor maintained its
bid of the day before. but in the offer
1Hgs it made some advances. Ajax was
in good demand and chronicled a frac-
tionai gain in the bidding. Bullion
Beck suffered loss of 10 cents in the
bids and remained unchanged in the
offerings. DAILY was a favorite and de-
Veloped a strong upward tendency in
the bidding, while holders stood out
fer better prices than that at which the
stock was offered at the previous call.
Daily West was firm at the Tuesdays
quotation, but in the asking it suffered
some losses. Galena was waited at an
advance, but none of the stock was
offered for sale. Geyser failed to make
any gains in the bids and declined in
changed, but was quite firm at the
figures given below. Mercur held its
own as a popular stock, but did not
figure in the sales. In the offerings
however, this stock recorded good ad-
vances- Mammoth suffered a decline
in the bidding, but was quoted higher
in the asking than during the previous
call. Ontario and Silver King were
held very firmly and were quite strong
in the bids. Sunshine was practically
unchanged, and there was disposition
on the part of the buyer and seller to
get together on this stock.
The unlisted stocks attracted con-
siderable attents n, but were inactive,
with the exception of Northern Light,
which sold readily at 81 cents. Swan
sea was strong at the usual figure and
developed an inward tendency South
Swansea was in active demand and
held its own in the bidding, while in
the offerings il was firmly held at
Sis. Buyer and seller were too far
apart to admit of any dealing in Sun
beam, and the struggle between the
bears and the bulls was declared a
draw. Lucky Bill made a showing and
the stock was in active demand
The assessment OF half a cent on
East Golden Gate will not add to the
popularity of this stock in the least,
and it is now selling at the assessment
price.
The transactions of the day were as
follows:
SALES OF STOCK.
100 Northern Light at GA cents.
1000 East Golden Gate al 10 cent

news OF THE MINES OF utah.

moth mine. on the other side of the
mountain, which is also owned by Mr.
Cullen, and when this connection is
made, both properties will be in ex-
cellent shape.
AT one time in the history of the
mining camps of Utah the district of
Shauntie was one of the most promi-
nent mining camps in this western
country The town at one time boosted
of 1,500 souls and the district was a
lively one with smelter of its own,
a postoffice, and telegraphic commune
cation with the outside world, and the
camp was a model one in many re-
spects. Now, however, the place is de-
serted, and still there is no doubt but
that there is yet an abundance of ore
in the district, and that in time the old
camp will regain some of its lost pres
tige and once again fall into line as
one of the many wealth producers of
the state.
Beaver county is most richly endowed
in its mineral deposits and there are
more districts in the county than are
to be found in any other portion of the
state, and it is to be hoped that in the
near future they will receive the at
tention they deserve.

The Hercules.

S. j. Pollock, the well-known mining
man, is in from Ophir for the purpose
of spending Christmas in this city.
Mr.. Pollock has been at work for the
past few months in the development
of the Hercules group of four claims
which adjoin the Northern Light on
Lion Hill on>the east, and he states
that the outlook for the property is
most encouraging as the formation is
the same in the Hercules that it is
in the Northern Light.
In prospecting the group Mr. Pol
lock is driving a tunnel and this is
now in a distance of 100 feet, the face
being in a body of fine quartz that
gives promise of a good body of ore
Since work was begun in the devel-
opment of the Hercules, Mr.. Pollock
has erected a boarding house at the
mine besides a blacksmith shop and
other buildings, and The Herald is in
formed that it is the intention to push
the work all winter.

TIN IN IDAHO.
Salt Lakers Find Valuable Deposits
of This Metal in Gold Placers.

In last Sundays Herald mention was
made of the discovery of tin associated
with placer gold in Lemhi county. Ida,
and the announcement caused consid-
cradle interest in mining circles in this
city, so much so, in fact that quite
number of gentlemen have since
called on Captain F. NJ. Bishop, the
assayer, for the purpose Of seeing for
themselves what the tin ore looked
like and to see the button that re-
suited from the test made of the ore.
Since the publication of the article
above alluded to it has been ascer-
tanned that the tin was found in the
placers of the Prairie Basin company,
in which John Beck and Judge Stayner
and brother of this city are largely in
terested
During the past season the company
has been hard at work in the con-
struction of a large boat which is to be
utilized in the recovery of the gold
in what is known as Prairie Basin,
where the deposits of the precious
metal is practically inexhaustible.
The boat and the gold-saving ma
chinery was completed late in the fall
of the present year, and before the
freezing weather came an experimental
run of only two days was made, but
this demonstrated that saving of IS
cents in gold to the cubic yard could
be made, and that with increased
power from 1900 to 1000 yards of
gravel could be treated daily.
1t was a great surprise to the COM
pany, however. to find that in the
gravel there was an abundance of
stream tin, and in the two days run
about 500 pounds of this metal was
saved in the way of concentrates, and
according to tests made by Captain
Bishop, this ore carried 45 per cent
pure tin. and The Herald is informed
that the concentrates or product of the
plant are worth $3.50 a ton in the
crude. This, in itself, will add greatly
to the value of the property, as when
the plant is in regular operation it is
believed that at least 1000 pounds of
this tin can be saved daily without any
additional cost.
The stream tin ore looks very much
like little pebbles, and no one would
even suspect that these carried any
metallic values.

THE OLD RED WARRIOR.
Rich Silver and Lead Mine That Is

The old Red Warrior mine, which is
located in Beaver county about mid
way between North Star and Shauntie
mining districts, is now being devel-
oped in a thorough manner by the
owner. Matt Cullen, the veteran
The work being done on the Red
Warrior is being supervised by T. B.
McKeon of Milford. and The Herald is
Informed that it win not be long now
before this property viii be again on
the list as a paying mine and heavy
producer.
TIE new work in the development
of tnS Warrior consists of 100-foot
shaft' from the bottom of which a
drift is being run to catch the ledge.
This drift is now in a distance of 80
feet. and it is expected that within 20
feet more the ore body will be en-
countered, when the mine will be on a
paving basis, as the mineral is of high
grade
There is a possibility, according to
The Herald's informant, that the un-
dercround workings of the Red War
rior will be extended into the old Nam

The SUNBEAM Showing.

A letter was received yesterday from
Professor NJ E. Jones, the manager of
the Sunbeam mine at Silver City, Tin
tic, that the new strike on the south
drift on the 250-foot level in this prop
erty was looking better as work pro-
crossed, and that the bottom of the
shaft was breaking through the py-
rites into rock that was beginning to
carry values.
Work in the sinking of the shaft is
being pushed as rapidly as possible, as
it is believed that with depth large
bodies of high-grade ore will be un-
covered.
Another car of ore from the Sunbeam
will arrive in the city today or to-
morrow.

CHICAGO GENERAL MARKET.
Wheat Shows Further Advancement
Pork Lower.

Chicago, Dec. 23.-With scarcely any
activity in the trade, the price of wheat
showed further enhancement TO-DAY.
But little wheat was offered for sale,
the strength displayed during the past
few days and the upward tendency of
foreign markets lettering the short"
sellers from practicing their usual tao
tics, whilst the confidence of holders
prevented their disposing CT the prop
erty owned by them. The advance at
Liverpool was variously quoted at from
Il tosa4d. The reported export sales at
the seaborad earlier in the week was
a strong supporting factor Receipts
in the northwest this morning were
1913 cars against 256 last Wednesday.

Properties In Which Charlie Crane
Is Interested.

Hon. Charles Crane is much pleased
with the DEVELOPMENTS in the mines
that he is working in Boise Basin,
says the Statesman of Boise, Ida.
They are the Pioneer at Centerville,
and the Independence, on More creek,
above Richardson's ranch.
On the Pioneer he has shaft AS
feet in depth and has opened up an ore
chute for a distance of about 200 feet
There are some old workings on the
property, but Mr.. Cranes plan of de-
velopment is through the shaft. The
ore body is about six feet thick 1t
varies greatly in value, but Mr.. Crane
states that the second-class ore will
mill at least $40 ton, While the higher
grade will go about SIS. He has on
the dump, taken out in the prosecu-
ton of development about 100 tons of
frst-class ore and 200 tons of second
class.
An interesting feature of the devel-
opment of this property was the find
ing of a gold nugget recently. 1t was
discovered in stratum of red tale.
The nugget was SO enyeloped with
iron rust that it attracted attention
only by reason of it's weight, but when
it had been burned in the forge and
secured up it showed it was solid gold.
The nugget was worth about $50. 1t
was broken uo into pieces and the
pieces are being made into ornaments.
This property belongs to the Pioneer
Gold Mining & Milling company, Mr..
Crane and c. M. Freed of Salt Lake,
being the principal owners. The ore is
free milling and Mr.. Crane estimates
that he can mine and mill it for So a
ton.
Mr.. Freed is also interested with Mr..
Crane in the Independence Gold Min
ing company, owning the independence
claim. Considerable development work
has also been done on this property
1t shows three feet of ore between
granite walls, the average value being
SO TO $12 a ton.
No more work will be done on these
this winter, but it is quite
probable that mill will be erected, at
least on the Pioneer. in the spring. Mr..
Crane will leave today for Salt Lake
