Yesterday was blue Monday in the
pit of the mining exchange and the
dealings were very circumscribed.
From the way in which the business
for the week started out it is evident
that the bears have not had surfeit
as yet, and that stocks will go still lower
during the next few days.
Ajax was weak in the bidding and
low in the offerings. Daily failed to
draw out any inquiry, but closed firm
at So in the asking. No change was OBJ
servable in Daily West, which was sta
tionary at the closing quotations of
Saturday last. Galena hung around the
dollar mark in the offerings and after
the call a bid of SO cents for the stock
was made. Geyser held its own in the
bidding in good form, but was inactive
Mercur was still strong al $7.15 in the
bidding, but holders stood out for
higher prices. Mammoth was the only
active security or the board and re-
corded sales at S1.671a. 1t was wanted in
large blocks at a lower figure than this.
but sellers would not let so at anything
less than the figures quoted below.
There was some activity in Ontario
AMI the bidding on this stock was
raised 10 1919, with offerings at 81 6U.
Sunshine created some excitement and
was again offered al a sacrifice. but
the brokers stood out for a lower figure
than ever, and it is claimed by some
that they can yet buy it at 10 cents.
Utah failed TO awaken any enthusiasm.
The unlisted stocks were passed with
out recording a. sale and attracted but
little attention. Swansea held its own
in the offerings. In the bidding, how
ever. it developed a slight downward
tendency Dexter was in good demand,
but buyer and seller were too far apart
for the transaction of any business.
South Swansea was in good form and
maintai ned its quotations OF the previ-
Gus call. Little Pittsburg was inactive,
while Northern Light was hard pushed
by the bears and was quoted low.
Buckeye was strong in the offerings at
Is cents. but the highest bid was 1872.
Dalton, and Richmond and Anaconda
We're hardly noticed, while Sunbeam
did not shine 10 any great extent.
The transactions of the day were as

CALL OF LISTED STOCKS.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-03-30

fine body of ore had been uncovered
that carried average values Of from
SIC to $40 ton in the precious metals
Later in the week, however, word was
received in this city that another body
had been disclosed in the cross-cut
from the drift and citizens of Silver
City. who arrived in Salt Lake on Sat
urday last, stated that they had seen
some of the ore from the new strike.
and that it was high in grade and had
every appearance of having been taken
from a large vein.
On Sunday some interested parties
went out for the purpose of making an
inspection of the new find, and they
report that it is showing up in a most
pleasing manner.
From all accounts the second discov-
cry in the Triumph is located about 40
feet from the shaft. Its extent has not
been determined as yet, as it had only
been croSS-cut for a. distance of two
feet when the Salt Lakers visited the
mine on the first of the week, and the
hanging wall had not been found, so
there is no telling just how large the
deposit is. In the two feet of mineral
uncovered there are from s to u inches
of shipping ore, some of which will as
say as high as 300 ounces in silver to
the ton, while the balance is what may
be termed hot stuff
1t has always been the opinion of the
company that there was a big body of
ore in that locality, and now they are
more confident of it than ever, and
propose to do some effective and thor
ough work in its development, which
is now being pushed under the super
vision of General Manager John Kirby,
the superintendent of the great Bull
lion-Beck mine.
1t is understood that it is the inten-
ton Of the company to make a ship
ment of ore at an early day.
In the vicinity of the Triumph there
are a number of promising properties
and there is no doubt in the minds of
mining men but that in the very near
future that end of Tintic district will
boast of several more productive and
paying mines.

ANTLER DIRECTORS MEET.
Mine in Splendid Condition-Invite
Bids For Tunneling.

A meeting of the directors of the
Antler Mining company was held yes
terday at which it was reported the
contract for tunneling and other work
on the mine had been concluded and
that the property was in splendid con-
dition with large bodies of rich ore in
sight and quite a quantity of pay ore
on the dump.
1t was decided to let contract for
an additional 100 feet of tunneling and
drifting and President Alt and Secre-
tary Raybould were authorized TO re-
ceive sealed bids for the work, the
same to be opened by the directors at
a meeting called for next Monday
evening at the office of the company
40 Main street.
With the completion of this work it
is expected sufficient ore will be in
sight to justify the erection of a cyan
ide mill of moderate proportions or
some other arrangement made by
which the ore can be treated.

A Mammoth Gold Nugget.

The largest nugget ever found in this
state, says a California correspondent
to the st. Louis Globe Democrat, was
that known as the Oliver Martin
chunk. 1t weighed 151 pounds ounces.
Inc precious ore was mixed with
white quartz, and it was sold after
having been converted into bullion for
$22,2I0 Hundreds of pictures have been
made of the golden mass, and all the
school boys in California are expected
to know the weight, size and value of
this famous nugget. There are bronze
rae SMILES of the chunk in many min
eral collections in museums in Europe
and America. The nugget was found
near Camp Corona, in Tuolumne coun-
ty in Central California. The date of
finding was Nov. 49, 1854 Martin. a
poor miner. who had not even the pro
verbal dollar to his name, and a com
panion named John Flower. were
tramping their way up country to new
dlgglngs. They camped one night in
mountain canyon, when a sudden
and terrific rain storm came up in the
darkness. The water in the CANYON
stream suddenly rose. The miners at
tempted to climb the hill, but the flood
overlook them, and both Esere carried
down stream. Flower was drowned
but Martin. though severely injured
escaped. While trying to bury
his companions body by the
roots of an upturned tree. Mar
tin discovered the rich nugget that
bears his name. He was too weak to
move it. He attempted to reach some
ne1ghboring miners, but tainted from
exhaustion, and was found on the trail
by them. When able to walk some
weeks later Martin took them to the
SPOT. and the nugget was removed.
martin made the nugget the basis of
a large fortune that he accumulated in
the next two decades.
