nial-Eureka was very strong, with
very limited offerings of stock, and
none below $50. The company is ex-
pected to pay dividend of 81 on the
18th. Nothing of an official nature is
being given out regarding the option.
Dalton & Lark will pay its usual divi-
dend of one-half a cent per share on
the 18th. Good reports came from the
Dalton about the middle of the week,
ore going s104 in gold per ton being
encountered in the new workings.
Considerable of the shipping ore is
being sacked for shipment. There was
no material change in the stocks quo
tation. Both of the Days were very
strong, this being especially the case
with the DAILY, which sold above the
So mark toward the close of the week.
Both companies are doing well. but
nothing regarding dividends long ex-
pected was announced.
Eagle is driving away with vigor
again and the showing is reported to
be very good. Despite good reports
received from the Four Aces as to the
magnitude of the ore showing, the
stock did not advance as was antici-
The end OF the week displayed ma
terial weakness as compared to prices
of ten days ago. Galena pays cents

selling at advancing figures. Geyser
did little business and is not likely to
do much until its legal tilt with the
Marion company is ended. This strug-
gle is about TO commence in earnest.
Horn Silver was in fair demand
around 81 and small blocks could have
found takers at Is cents higher. The
new development work at the proper
ties is reported to be of very en-
couraging nature. Little Pittsburg
was not as active as usual. The pro-
perties are still covered with snow.
Mercur will pay its usual dividend
of $4,000 on the Goth of the month.
The fear that the company would pass
this months payment was the
cause of the failure of the stock to
make the material gains expected.
The official announcement has not yet
been made, but the dividend is coming
as usual. Some increases are to be
made in the old plant and the new
mill will not be built, until some
months later, at least The increase
in revenues will enable the company
to build up a nice surplus. Out at
the properties the showing is splendid.
Mammoth was very strong during the
entire week, but the buyers who an
ticipate dividends this month will be
disappointed. 1t is hardly likely that
payment will be made, even in
June, although the company's finan-
ces would permit of a cents per
share distribution now. Mercur Gold
Dust is showing UP in a very salts
factory manner.
Ontario was strong, with little of the
stock offered. Silver King paid its
regular monthly dividend of % cents
per share yesterday. This stock
showed great strength and there is
little of it offered under $40. Sioux
Consolidated was inactive. The tests
of the roasted ore at the Sunshine
mill are reported to have resulted
very satisfactorily and the increase
in saving will doubtless justify
small roasting plant. The company's
properties are in splendid shape, with
the ore development greater than
ever. The stock was quite active, but
at about the previous weeks figures.
Swansea did considerable business.
Tetro was a favorite at advancing fig
ures. Utah will pay a dividend of 2
cents per share on the 10th. Utah
Consolidated, neighbor of the Sioux,
is a new applicant for honors. 1t is
splendid security.
