The South Swansea mine at Silver
City is doing itself proud of late, and
in its ore shipments and the progress
that is being made in the development
of the property the company is max
ing record that is hard to beat
Last week the company made 100
ton shipment that netted $S,621, and
rignt on top of this it sent in train
load of ore last Saturday that will pay
all the mining expenses and also the
s., 500 dividend that viii be paid on the
21st of this month, which will leave
the finances of the company in the
same excellent shape that they were
before, besides which another shipment,
not so large, viii be made before
Christmas.
The train load of ore above mentioned
will be composed of eight cars, amount
ing to about 200 tons, and it can safely
be said that this is the first consign-
ment of this size that has ever been
made from any mine in the district
with SO little development to show
where the ore came from. In fact, the
great big mines of the camp never
consign more than a train load at a
time, so that the South Swansea ranks
right up with the bonanZas of the dis
trict in the matter of the size of Its
ore shipments.
Within the past few days the work
ing shaft OF this ground has reached
the 400-foOt level, where a fine body
OF ore has been disclosed, and al
though the extent OF the deposit has
not been determined as yet, as the
company has been stripping it pre-
paratory to breaking it down. it can be
seen that it is good shipping mineral,
and that there is no doubt as to its
perzanency, and that it Will open out
larger than in the Slopes above.
At the present time the company is
bending all of its energies to acquir-
ing depth rather than to make show
ing in the way of shipments, and as
fast as possible it viii sink to the
1.00e-foot level. which is the capacity
of the steam hoist, and when this is
done and the mine opeLed UP on all
the different levels. il will be hard to
find q more promising or better pay
ing proposition in this western coun-
try

THE STOCK ExCHANGE.
Stocks Badly DemOralized and But
Little Business Done In the Pit.

stocks Badly Demoralized and But
Little business Done In the Pit.
Business was in demoraiized condi-
/ ton on the floor of the Stock Exchange
] yesterday, and but little trading was
INDUCED in
1t was a bear day in the Dit on the
/ previous day, but it seemed as if dur
ing the call of yesterday every broker
was a bruin and a large number of
stocks exhibited a downward tendency.
Among the listed stocks Bullion-B
was among the few that chronicled adj
vances in the bidding, although in the
offerings il was stationary DAILY de-
clined in the bids and was weak in the
asking, while Mercur made losses both
ways. Mammoth remained unchanged,
but was firm at the figures of the pre-
ViouS day The balance of the stocks
We're either weak or received but little
attention at the hands of the brokers.
The unlisted stocks, while more
active than the listed securities, failed
TO make much of a showing and were
the objects of fierce bear attacks.
Bucke-re Just about held its own and
in the quotations this stock remained
practically unchanged. South Swansea
was in the same boat with the eXceP-
ton that it was more in demand, while
Sunbeam WIS hammered down to the
lowest notch. Swansea made the only
transfer of the day, a sale of 100 shares
being recorded at 800, and it was in
good demand at this quotation. North
ern Light suffered some losses and
was freely offered at 80 cents. while the
highest bid was only at 5S15 cents.
The market during the week has
been an uncertain one and marked with
sharp fluctuations, and the bears have
ruled the pit as a general thing. Mer-
cur opened strong, but at the close it
was weak and badly neglected. The
most interesting features of the week S
transactions were the rapid advances
made by Northern Light and South
Swansea, and although those stocks
declined somewhat at the close of the
week, they were still prime favorites
and promise to cut an important figure
in the dealings of the present week.
The rise and fall of Dalton was an
other interesting feature of the weeks
dealings, while Lucky Bill exhibited
considerable strength, only to go down
before the bears at the final wind-up.
One suggestive feature of the deal
ings OF the week was that the demand
for stocks was confined very largely to
the silver securities. and these were
very popular with investors. In fact,
Mercur and Northern Light were about
the only gold stocks that exhibited any
life at all. unless Mammoth might be
said to travel in this class, and this
stock was very firm throughout the
week. It was such stocks SIS Bullion
Beck, Swansea, South Swansea, Daily, !
DAILY West and Silver King that were
the most active, both in the bidding
and offerings. while Sunbeam and |
Buckeye came in for a goodly share of |
attention.
The sales of the week were as fol-
lows:

The Eight-Hour Law.

The Herald is informed that G. r.
Boutwell,, of the Sacramento mine, at
Mercur, was arrested at that place last
week Friday upon the charge of hav-
ing violated the eight-hour law, and
that after he had been arraigned before
Judge Shoe5ridge he was allowed to go
on his own recogniZance with orders to
report for trial tomorrow.
The complaint, it is understood, was
sworn to by a man by the name of
Davis, an employee OF the company.
Mr. Boutwell,. when seen by a re-
porter of The Herald yesterday, denied
the charge and believes that he viii be
able to prove that he is not guilty of
a violation of the law.
