The Seventh ward Mckinley club
is likely to follow the example of the
Sixth, for Aid. Nelson, who claims to
be the boss Of the republican party

intimated as much Nelson's lean

Yesterday was the last day for the
payment of the one-cent assessment on

stock was sold several would-be buy
ers were disappointed in finding that
there were only $50 shares to be dis
pc sed of, and this went readily at Ito
cents a share.
AS a result of this assessment the
company has been enabled to liquidate
all of its indebtedness, and also to
place about $1,000 in its treasury, which

is being taken from the drift, being
driven from the seventy-fve foot tun-

sponded to the invitation to witness the
antics of the bulls and bears in the pit:
and the effect seemed electrical, as the
brokers appeared to vie with each other
in making the call an interesting one.
Cigars were hurriedly thrown aside or
smoked surreptitiously; 1.-The scrapping
ring was obliterated from the floor,
and more orderly and genteel lot of
brokers never traded in stocks in the
pit of any stock exchange In fact, so
beneficial was the presence of these
ladies in the seats reserved expressly
for their use that after this the latch
string will always hang out for them
Anchor was in demand again and ad-
vahced to $2.75 in the bidding The
stock was offered at 81 and then at
$3.75, but no transfers We're made.
Bullion-Beck was in active demand,
but buyers and sellers could not come
together.
A block of fifteen shares of Centen-
nial-Eureka was offered at $73, but the
best bid was at s64.

Daly-West, however developed a strong
upward tendency, advancing from Sc. 25
TO S7,15 in the bidding. The lowest of

There was an active demand for Dali

at so cents; while Eagle, although de-

THE GOLDEN BAR.
Work Has Been Commenced on This
Mercur Group.

Work has commenced on the Golden
Bar groups of claims, lying about a
mile west of the Sunshine mine. This
property lies in the immediate vicinity
of the Cedric, the West Sunshine, the
Official, the Badger and the Ontario,
ON all of which development work is
actively progressing, with fine show
ings of ore. The company owning this
group of claims, the Golden Bar Min
ing company, has just let a contract for
hundred foot shaft and as the COM
pany's finances are in fine shape, and
as the officers and stockholders have
boundless faith in their property, no
treasury stock will be placed on the
market. Several Mercur men are
heavily interested in this company.
Their judgment is that before this
100 foot shaft is completed an ore body
will be encountered.
