where he has been looking over some of
his properties.

and mining man of Ogden, was in the
city yesterday.
Bar silver was 6SA yesterday, a
point off from the day before, while
lead closed at $3.50.
The Dalton & Lark made it's usual
27O ton shipment yesterday. The mine
is holding it's own as one of the great
producers.
Fred Leonard, of the Hecla, at Mer-
cur, returned yesterday from a two
days visit to the properties, which he
reports in good shape.
Peter Erickson has just completed a
fifty foot tunnel on the Lucky Boy mine
at Mercur and from indications values
will be struck within a short time.
C. H. Blanchard, recorder of the Tin
tic district, who lives at Silver City,
was in town yesterday attending the
funeral of the late John McChrystal.
A good strike was made in the Buck
eye at Mercur on Saturday last, al
though the values at this time are low,
but it is expected they will improve
right along.
The shaft on the Seals mine at Mer-
cur is down 400 feet and the men are
engaged in cutting through a lime
stone formation which, it is believed
overlies vein of mineral.
Olsen Bros, of Mercur, are preparing
to place the machinery of the new
steam hoist on the June Bug. The
shaft is being timbered and a station
cut 100 feet from the top. of the ground.
Mr. Airs, of the Mercur NINE is
home and says the mill will be run
ming this morning. The entire force
was put ON the work of cleaning de-
bris from the mill and made short
work of the job.
! Ogden parties, owning claims in
! Silverado canyon are working down
| through limestone which shows con-
siderable traces of mineral. The shaft
is down twenty feet while the contract
calls for 100 feet more.
Fred Snively and Jim McCurdy, of
Deep Creek, have just returned from
! Tennessee, where they went with a
trainload of horses. The freight was
S13 per head and the pair had just
enough left, after the sale was made,
/ to get home on, by the use of strict
economy. Both say that they will de-
vote the future to mining. They say
that while silver is being discussed
down there some, that as a rule people
are ignorant of the subject and are
seeking for light.

WILL REVIVE THE EXCHANGE.

was not even debated, i made a pro-
found impression, and all those present
felt thai such a course would be the
proper caper, after the delnquents had
been given time to walk to the cap
tain's Office and settle.
Then it was that Gordon Woolley
offered a resolution to the effect that
all the rules and bylaws be abrogated
and the chair appoint committee OF
three to draft a new code for the gov
eminent of the exchange. The resolu-
ton offered the suggestion that the
rules of the San Francisco or the Den
yer exchanges would be a good thing
to take in hand, but the resolution did
not seem to meet with favor, most of
those present inclining to the belief
that this would virtually mean that the
exchange was dissolved and a new one
formed, something no one wanted to see
happen.
Woolley then withdrew his resolution
and offered another The second pro-
vided that the president appoint COM
mittee of three to revise the rules and
bylaws and report at a meeting to be
held not less than five days from date,
the committee to receive such SuggeS-
lions as might be handed in by mem
bers of the exchange, in writing.
Debate then ran riot. There were
more people on the floor than one could
wish to hear at one time. The parlia-
mentary law governing the Offering of
resolutions was discussed until every
one grew weary; the advisability of the
governing board resigning was talked
of, but finally, after a few slight
changes in verbiage, the resolution
passed and the chair appointed Messrs.
Woolley, Peery and Downey the COM
mittee on revision.
Mr.. Peery then moved that the gov
erning board resign, but this was de-
clared out of order until the committee
made its report.
The committee announced that it
would meet today, and the meeting adj
journed until Tuesday at O'clock
when it is urged that every member Of
the exchange be present.
After adjournment the question of
quarters was discussed, and a majority
of those on the ground seemed to have
a decided preference for the old Peo-
pies theatre on Commercial street,
which can be obtained for about the
same price which is charged by the
Brigham Young Trust company for the
new location. This matter, however,
will come up at the next meeting.
The members of the exchange seem
to feel that it is time that earnest ac-
ton was taken and that to make the
same a success all must join and work
to the best OF their ability.

POLLOCN'S LETTER.
Weekly Review OF the Local Mining
Share Market


James A. Pollock will say in his
weekly mining share market letter.
under date of July II, 1896:
The usual midsumer quiet now pre-
walls in the local mining stock market
and the advice previously given. that
this is a far better time to buy than to
sell, especially with the dividend pay
ers, still holds good. Business was only
fairly active during the week, with
prices about the same as during the
previous same period. A change for the
better is confidently expected after the
first of August.
Ajax is reported to be looking excep-
tionally well, and shipments from the
properties are quite satisfactory. The
stock made little change, although to-
ward the close there was a somewhat
increased demand. Anchor continued to
show a slight Improvement, and closed
considerably higher than it has been
since the properties were closed down.
The prospecting going on in. the mines
is reported to be making a good show
ing. Began continued dull. Bullion Beck
pays its July dividend on the 10Th. The
stock was quite strong and in fair de-
mand, although the quotations were not
materially changed.
The option on the entennial-Eureka
properties at 100000 was not taken
up. This fact has not, to date, had any
direct influence upon the market value
of the stock, which is still held very
strongly, the offerings being very linn
tied The usual dividend of 81 per
share was paid on the 18th. is
understood that the main reason for the
failure of the deal was the fact that
the promoters added considerable
amount to the purchase price, not be-
ing satisfied with the 10 per cent COM
mission allowed by the company. Dali

THE MAGNET TUNNEL.
Only Twenty-Five Feet More i
m-in IN RI C>oz1,rVofafF

Only Twenty-Five Feet More Re-
main to Be Completed.
Some time ago Messrs. Maginnis and
Crismon, the owners of the Magnet
group, in the Peepstone district, let a
contract for a tunnel which should
cross cut the strata there to a distance
of 165 feet This tunnel is now in to
a distance of 40 feet and but % feet
remain 10 be completed. There have
been two veins cut in going this dis
lance, although they were not the ones
the management was after, and from
the indications the large, or main, de-
post will be encountered in the next
fifteen feet, although it may necessi-
tate the going into the side of the hill
for the entire twenty-five. The ore is
of much the same character as that on
the Mercur and assays we'll, returns as
high as $3.50 having been received from
rock only a few feet below the surface.
AS soon as the tunnel is finished work
of drifting along the large vein will be-
gin and Will be prosecuted as fast as
possible.

Denies the Statement.

Mr.. J. Schenck writes The Herald to
say that the assertions made by Judge
Dey in the Tribune of yesterday, to the
effect that he had agreed to release
100000 shares of the Dalton & Lark
stock for the benefit of the creditors of
James II. Bacon is not so and that no
such proposition has been made to him;
that he has held no conversation on
the subject; has furnished no informa-
ton of the character alluded to and
does not want to be charged with
having acquiesced in any statement
which that gentleman may make in ref
erence to himself (Schenck) or his bust
ness. Closing, he says when he desires
to make any statement to the public he
will take his own methods and not
leave it for others to do for him.

NO GOLD DUST MEETING.
Majority of the Directors Were Out
of tie City Yesterday.

There was no meeting of the direc-
tors of the Gold Dust Mining company
yesterday afternoon as announced,
most Of the directors being out of the
city. At Mr.. Bamberger's Office it was
stated that he was out of the city and
could not get to attend the meeting,
while there were others who could not
be there either. When the meeting
will be held is not definitely decided
upon. but that a mill is one of the
improvements in the near future is
evidenced by the fact that several con-
tractors were lowering in the vicinity
Of McCornick's bank yesterday after
noon, all waiting to ascertain what had
been decided upon.
Although the members of the direc-
torate are retIcent, from the indica-
tons it would seem that the Gold Dust
people have got into ore that looks
very promising, and that in order to
work the same with the largest re-
suits, mill is a necessity
1t is presumed that some definite an
nouncement will be made today, and
that the assembly will convene within
a very short time.
