Working the Miller.


w. 1. Higgins, who is interested with
Joseph E. DAILY in the Miller mine, in
Gold Mountain district, Piute county.
informs The Herald that at the pres
ent time he is employing a force of u
men in the development of the prop
erty, and that since the 18th Of Febru-
airy the shaft has been deepened by So
feet, which gives a total depth of Ill
feet,
The ore body is eight feet wide and
it has maintained it's size all the way
down to the bottom of the shaft, with
the average gold values about the
same, and the indications are that the
deposit will prove to be permanent
one and of goodly proportions.
1t is the intention to begin drifting
on the vein before a great while and
prospecting work will be carried on in
systematic and thorough manner.
There is considerable talk in the
south relative to the Miller mine, and
it is the general impression that it will
open out into a magnificent producer
and dividend payer.

operation Active work will be
'e5umed in taking out ore and a ship

Ieet OF good shipping ore is in the vein
at present, and the Homestake is one
OF the most promising prospects in that
section of the district.
Jesse Knight has returned from his
California jaunt and at once let a con-
tract to run the Uncle Sam tunnel so

is the intention, if no ore is encoun-
tered before the contract is completed,
to sink shaft at point below the
Godiva road and begin a systematic
development of the property. A hoist
ing plant will be put in of sufficient
capacity to permit the thorough ex-
ploration of the ground

Dividends Payable Today.

A large number of Salt Lakers will
be made happy today when they bank
their dividend checks. and they can be
excused for saying that there is no in
Vestment that is equal TO gilt-edged
mining stocks, and there can be no
gainsaying the assertion that the Mer-
cur, the Bullion-Beck and the Swansea
fill this description.
These three companies will come to
the front today with their usual divi-
dends, which will foot up to the hand
some sum of $500 of which the Mer-
cur will pay $4,000. the Bullion Beck
500. and the Swansea $1,000
With the regular payment of divi-
bends and the enhancement in the
value OF these stocks the holders of
these securities can we'll feel that they

terday that in the north drift from
the S0O-foot level in the Ajax mine at
mammoth, eross-cut to the east had
olSclosed a fine body of ore filing the
full face of the cut that gave ASSAY
values of 42.5 ounces in silver and s14
in gold to the ton.
It is also stated that the new find is
directly over the body of ore exposed
IN the workings on the 400, which
would indicate the continuity of the
deposit.
1t is said that the Ajax is showing
up IN excellent shape and that it is
the making of a great property.

Notes From the Park.

Park City, March 19.-The face of the
Valeo tunnel is again in porphyry. Re
Gently lime was encountered, but this
proved only a few feet thick and the
formation returned to the porphyry.
This is very satisfactory to the Valeo
people. for they would like to see the
porphyry as thick in the lower as in
the upper tunnel, where it was found
to be 80 feet. The tunnel now has q
length of over $50 feet

WALL STREET SPECULATION
The Week Closes With the Bulk 10 the
Lead
Decided Confidence of Improvement
in the Business outlook

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-The stock market
wound up for the week spirited and strong
The distribution Of business was wider and
the aggregate transactions larger in the
short session than the recent full day aver
age. The temper of the street was de-
cidedly bullish. and buying for the long
account was in excess of the purchases to
cover short contracts. hTere was no spec
ial news bearing on the speculation aside
from the very encouraging bank state
ment. The specialties were prominent and
advanced sharply, including Colorado Fuel
for 1ia. Expectations of favorable traffic
returns stimulated buying of the grangers
and southwestern stocks. The general
market closed buoyant at the best prices,
showing net gains of 1@2 per cent. In the
week just ended the sentiment of the
financial community at large underwent
a decided change and at the close strong
spirit Of confidence of improvement in the
outlook for general business, railroads and
the stock markets were evident in place of
the dependency which for some time past
has been characteristic in Wall street. The
defeat of the Union. Pacific funding bill
caused q sharp decline in the stock and
discussion of frequent and varying reports
and rumors as to the probable action that
might be taken by the government for the
protection of It's lien on the property ex-
cited widespread interest, owing to the
magnitude OF the interests involved. The
security nOluerS were reaSSureu, however,
by the formation of a powerful syndicate,
which has subscribed $iO,O0O 600 for the pur-
pose of attempting settlement with the
government and important Developments,
Including the institution Of proceedings
for the foreclosure of the property, are be-
1ievd to be imminent The enormous ac-
emulation of idle money at this center
and easier money markets abroad stimula-
ted steady increasing demand for bonds
and stocks for both domestic and for
eign account and this is usually the pre-
hi6a n sfrOnp and active SnpCulatfQ In
the general market. The result of de-
liberate study of the sentiment is to demon
strate conclusively the great change for the
better that has taken place. The bond
market today displayed marked activity
and in many issues substantial gains oc-
CURED. The sales were 81. $4,000. The more
important advances ranged from to 81
per cent. The bond market of the week
displayed steadily increasing investment
inquiry for foreign and domestic account,
and the dealings covered an unusually wide
range. The sales We're 50, 303. 900. Govern
ment bonds were dull but strong on tran
sactions of $50 900. Silver certificates were
dull and slightly easier at GAYS.

The present rainy weather is inter-
fering with the movement of California
| oranges to eastern markets, as growers
cannot get into the orchards TO PICK
fruit. Shipments, in consequence, are
very light, and during the last ten days
only about 200 carloads Of oranges have
gone forward, compared with 300 car
loads during the same period of last sea-
son. The total shipments of oranges
for this season to date aggregate about
1900 carloads, being practically the same
number of cars that were shipped to
same date last season. The f. o. b. prices
ruling at present are 25 and so cents per
box lower than were realized on ship
ments which went forward in time to
reach the eastern markets for holiday
trade. This decline in prices, of course,
was to be expected, on account of the
very heavy importations of foreign or
anges, which have been flooding the At
lantic coast markets during the last
three weeks, and, also, on account of the
very heavy apple crop throughout the
eastern states, which interferes, to a
great extent, with the marketing of or
anges.
The outlook for the California orange
crop is favorable, however, and growers
and packers are confident of realizing
satisfactory prices during the entire
season, especially If the policy of selling
l..

eastern markets before the holidays,
many of which were sold at auction in
Chicago, New York, Boston. ETC., real

| fruit than the oranges shipped at the
same time and sold f. O. b. California.
In many instances the consigned oran-
ges net the growers so cents per box
less than the same grade of fruit ship
ned at the same time which was sold
f. o. b. California, and in some instan-
ces the difference was as great as rs
cents per box. Growers and packing
concerns which have studied the mar
keting of oranges for many years are
very firm in the belief that the t. o.

appear to be useless although the slight
change in the loan item Is evidence that
they have not abandoned the agreement,
which, 1t Is asserted some 0f them have
made. The statement is interesting, es.
pecially as relating to purchases Of ster-
ling bills The advance In sterling is mar
rowing the profit to a small figure, and
while the low money rates of themselves
favor an advance, the heavy foreign trade
balance reported for the month and the
year do not encourage the belief that ex-
change will rise to gold exporting point
Investments made In foreign bills, the car
rying of which is really lending money to
Europe, stand to lose, therefore, quite as
much as to gain, In the meantime what to
do with the heavy surplus carried by the
New York banks being a serious problem.
Surface indications now favor an advance
in stock prices as low money will stimu-
late buying and industry in general, and 1t
is notu unreasonable to say that the heavy
surplus will be absorbed to a large extent
In domestic expansion. If this proves true
the United States will enter upon an era of
prosperity during the coming spring which
has not been equaled since the early nine
ties.
