CHAMBER OF COMMERCE..
f. H. Auerbach for President and
CoIburn for Secretary.

f. H. Auerbach for President and
CoIburn for Secretary.
The annual election of the chamber
of commerce, which was to have taken
place last evening, was postponed until
next Wednesday evening. President
Bacon absolutely declines to be a can
didate for reelection, for the reason
that he cannot spare the necessary
time from his business to devote to the
office of president of the chamber
which is necessary to make the insti-
tuition a success.
A good deal of speculation as who
shall succeed Mr.. Bacon is being in
dulged in, and the name which seems
! to meet with the most approval is that
of F. H. Auerbach, and if he will ac-
cept there is good reason to believe that
he can have the honor by a handsome
majority.
1t is almost a foregone conclusion
that Judge Colborn will succeed him
self as secretary, if he will accept, and
no better man could be found. The
institution was in a dying condition
when he was elected to that position,
and it is in a great measure due to
his stupendous efforts that it is now
in a f1ourishing and healthy condition.
Judge Colburn is certainly the right
man in the right place.

Yesterday was a light day on
change, and the call nearly ended in a
whitewash; but the transfer of 200
shares of stock saved the exchange
from the pending disgrace.
AS has been the case during the week.
The investment stocks were strong
and IL /. while the merely speculative
stocks were wiped nearly out of exis-
tence, which demonstrates the truth of
the statement made that Salt Lakers,
as a rule, are lacking in sand, and
have not grit enough to make success
ful spectators.
Alliance and Ajax made a decided
advance in the bidding, while the sell
ers also stood for higher figure, and
while no transfers were made it is
plainly to he seen that these stocks

Centennial-Eureka was in demand at
the old figure-S60 per share-but the
offerings were at an advance over
yesterdays figures, and no sales were
made, although the stock was wanted
badly by investors.
Ontario and DAILY were also solid; so
much so that sellers stood pat for an
advance.
mercur was offered at yesterdays
quotations; yet, although the bidding
was active, no transfers were made.
Ontario advanced in the bidding, but
the sellers stood aloof and could not

Arrangements Made to Extensively
Develop the Property.
The board of directors of the new
Mercur Mammoth Mining company met
yesterday afternoon at the Deseret Ma
tional bank, during which the proof for
the prospectus of the company was sub
mitted and approved; the bylaws were
framed; stock was issued. and plans
perfected for the extensive development
of the company's property, which is To-
Gated on the ore belt near the camp
of Mercur, and TO carry out this plan
and begin active and aggressive work,
Nessrs. Cunningham, Knox and Homes
will leave for Mercur tomorrow.
At this meeting the directors author
lied the sale of 10000 shares of the
treasury stock of the company for the
equipment and development work only,
and this only in blocks of 1000 shares
or over to acceptable parties who will
agree to hold the same, as the directors
will theirs, as an investment, until
the property has acquired substan-
tial basis Of valuation by a thorough
system of development. OF this stock,
a portion of the 10000 shares will be
offered for sale at the rate of % cents
per share, which figure will be adj
vanced as work progresses.
In an interview with those interested
in this enterprise it is learned that
conservative management would pre-
vail, and that the revenue derived from
stock sales would be applied in a man
rer calculated to transform the prop
erty into a paying proposition as rap
idly as possible. The directors are all
experienced mining men and express
the utmost confidence as to the out
come of the enterprise, which will not
suffer for capital wherewith to carry
ON development if the treasury stock is
not sold

NEW YORK, Jan. 2J.-The speculative
movement in stocks today was not at
tended by any news of a general buying
and the widest fluctuations that were re-
corded were explained except in so far as
professional manipulation was concerned.
This was especially true of Sugar, which
by far outranked any of the other lead
ing active stocks in point of activity,
and advance, and of Tobacco, which came
in second in both respects. There was
not even vestige of gossip regarding
either of the stocks mentioned. The
larger percentage of business was in
the imdustrials London was not much of
a factor beyond moderate selling orders.
The initial prices were generally at
slight concessions from yesterdays clos
ing figures and in the early dealings pres
sure was noted against the Changers.
The tone of the market soon changed 10
positive strength and under heavy pur-
chases for both accounts, advances &C
CURED in the active list, ranging up 10
Der cent, with the coalers, Tobacco,
Sugar and st. Paul leading.
Sugar was taken in hand by the agent
of the pool and marked up to lUS12 as
against 105A the early low point. The
bGoyancy in the stock impaired sympa-
thetic strength to the general list. North
ern Pacific preferred rose IA per cent;

the half year. The decision OF the SUI
preme court fixing the jurisdiction of the
various judges in the litigation was also
factor The closing tone was easier
on realizing sales, but the losses were

CORRUPT CHICAGO.
1T FURNISHES A THEME AT THE
UNION LEAGUE CLUB.
Especial Stress Laid Upon the Duty
of the Club to Ferret Out and Elk
pose Municipal ROttenness.

CHICAGO. Jan. 29.-The consolidation
of the towns of Chicago into one big city
is the object of Judge c. c. Kohlsaat,
the new president of the Union League
club. At the Inauguration of the officers
of the club last. night the president in
his speech said:
I'm the year to come 1 hope to give my
influence to further legislation for civic
reform. There are crying evils in this
city and the club should take a hand in
doing away with some of them. The towns
of this city should be consolidated in
one great city. This matter of towns is
remnant of the old days and ought to
be abolished. There are other evils which
we ought to fight, and in this inter-
change of thought in the club we ought
to be able to accomplish great ends. Then
another aim of the club should be to
promulgate knowledge so that the peo-
pie will help to bring about the neces-
Sary reforms.
Elbright NJ Keith, in his address, laid
stress on the importance of carrying out
one of the functions of the club-that
of exposing and uprooting municipal
rOttenneSS.
"Tammany is repeating itself here in
Chicago said Mr.. Keith. 1.-THE big and
little bosses are distributing the pat
ronage as they please, and when one of
us attempts to demonstrate we are told
to mind our own business. We ought to
plead for better men at Washington, at
Springfield and in Chicago. This club
ought to take up the warfare against
the tax dodger, the bride taker and the
corruptor and bring them all to justice"
c. D. Boys urged the committee on po-
litical action to be more aggressive. He
told of a state senator who had asked
him for $4,000 in order to get a bill
through a committee, and of another case
in Chicago where he could not get an or
dinance passed through the council be-
"a
He depIored the inactivity of the political
action committee, and said there was a
great field open for the redemption Of
the city from the hands of politicians.

THE ANNIE MINING COMPANY.
Have n Nice Body of Pay Ore to Go
Down On.

Have Nice Body of Pay Ore to Go
Down On.
S. A. King, vice president of the An
ME Mining company, is just in from
the company's mine in Camp Floyd dis
trict, and if indications are anything
to go by, he feels much encouraged over
the outlook for the property.
Work has been going on in the An
ME ever since last August, and besides
exploiting the ground by the means of
two or three tunnels, a shaft has been
sunk to a depth of 210 feet, from the
bottom of which a drift has been run
in a westerly direction a distance Of
325 feet. Within 225 feet from the bot
tom of the shaft this drift has cut
a siX-foot body of pay ore that aver
ages $11 in gold to the ton, but it is
believed that a larger body of ore lies
beyond and further in the hill, and it
is this that the company is driving for.
AS it is, it is believed that it has been
demonstrated beyond doubt that the
property will develop into a producing
and paying mine The company has
erected buildings on the group, and in
work has expended more money and
accomplished as much, if not more,
than any other company operating be-
tween Sunshine and Mercur.
The Annie is capitalized at 100000
shares of a par value of 81 each, and
of this 10000 shares have been set aside
for treasury stock.
The officers of the company, most of
whom are citizens of Provo are as fol-
lows: a. D. Cash, president; S. A.
King, vice president; H. f. Thomas,
secretary; H. S. Martin, treasurer, and
J. NJ. Davis, general manager, while the
board of directors is composed of A. D.
Cash, S. a. King, E. E. Corfman, r.
D. Swasey and r. Alley.
1t is the intention of the company to
/ list the Annie with the mining ex-
change, and with this end in view an
application has already been made and
handed into the listing committee.

A LITTLE LATE.
Mysterious Heavenly Visitor a Tri-

NIRVANA. Mich, Jan. ga remark
able phenomenon occurred about half a
mile east of Nirvana station last night.
A large fire ball about the size of a
busheI basket fell to the earth at an
angle OF about twenty degrees. When it
struck the snow it arose and foated off
at the same angle it fell, until it disap
Deared behind the hills. 1t is thought to
have been one of the meteoric bubbles
which are sometimes seen in this lati-
tude varying in size from a hat to the
one here mentioned, and consisting of
phosphorescent gas, inclOsed by a thin
film In the year 1882. thousands of these
meteoric bubbles fell throughout this
country and many people thought the
world was coming to an end.
