The mining share market was very
slow yesterday. and the day might
well be characterized as "blue Mon

On the floor of the exchange but lit
tie interest was taken in stocks, and
while most of the securities held their
own fairly well. the bidding was list
less, and the business transacted was
very limited.

sale and were sluggish. Anchor was
stationary in the bidding. Ajax was
not wanted and was weak Bullion
Beck was firm at the closing quotation
of Saturday, while DAILY experienced
decline both in the bidding and the
Offerings. Daily West held its own,
but was inactive, while there was a
noticeab BILE inquiry for Dalton & Lark
at slight advance. Mercur continued
TO gain strength and chronicled ad
Vances at the close. Mammoth was
weak and the stock received but little
attention from the brokers.
The unlisted stocks were also very
slow. and there was but little change
made in the quotations on these Sc
curities Sunbeam was shade
stronger than on Saturday last. but no
sales were recorded. Swansea main
tanned its own in good shape. and the
bulls tossed South Swansea up 70 the
S1.70 mark in the bidding. Golden
Star. the Cold mountain producer. was
offered at AZ cents. and caught q bid
of SIS, but no transfers were made.
Buckeye was inactive at the figures
made at the previous call. Northern
Light was strong with an upward
tendency. Richmond & Anaconda was
the only active stock and sold at rs
and % cents.

follows:

IMPRESSED WITH THE oPEX.
The Outlook For This Prospect Very
Encouraging.


Captain Hank Smith, the efficient
superintendent of the Centennial
Eureka mine, who is in the city, in
forms The Herald that this property is
in splendid condition, as is always the
case with the mine, and that as work
progresses in the development of the
same, fine bodies of ore are constantly
being uncovered. In fact, the captain
says that the finding of fine chutes of
ore is of such common occurrence with
him that he thinks nothing of it.
In speaking of the OpeX, on the
Mammoth side of the mountain from
the Observation-Disclosures, Captain Smith
states that he is favorably impressed
with the prospect, and he further
states that if the Centennial-EurelIa
ore body extends south the Opex is al
most sure to catch it, as this property
is right on a line with some of the
workings in the Centennial
which are in good bodies of ore; besides
which. the Opex is on the bedded plane
of blue lime in which the values in the
Centennial Eureka are found
On the Annandale, which is a frac-
ton that separates the Centennial
Eureka from the Opex, the indications
are exceedingly favorable, and there is
hardly any doubt but that an ore body
will be encountered in this ground, and
if this proves to be the case, the future
of the Opex is almost assured.
Captain Smith states that it is the
understanding that the Bullion-Beck
is looking fine, and that at Eureka it
is the prevailing opinion that this
property is slated for another man.

indefinite period 10 come.
1t is believed that Tintic district will
enjoy a great boom this season and the
people there are getting ready for it
as rapidly as possible.

GOLD DISCOVERIES.
a Fifty Mile Strip Said to Be Very
Rich

Perry, o. T.. March 1.-Advices from
the Wichita mountains are that new
discoveries of both gold and silver have
caused a fresh outbreak of excitement
among the prospectors, who for months
have been camped on the border, and
renewed energy has been adopted by
the United States authorities to pre-
vent digging for gold. The mIrshals
arrest any man they find on these
lands.
Old miners say that there is a scope
of land so miles long and half that
wide that is as rich as any old mines
in the west. California not excepted.
Colonel andrews, who has been pros
pecting over so years, says that within
a year the excitement will be as great
over the Wichita mountain gold mines

A Natural Magnet.

Professor Smythe was once lecturing
in provincial town on natural philos-
ophy, and in the course of his expert
ments he introduced a most powerful
magnet, with which he attracted a
block of iron from a distance of two
feet.
Can any of you conceive a greater
attractive power?" demanded the lee
turer, with an air of triumph
81 can, answered voice from the
audience.
'Not natural terrestrial object?"
"Yes, indeed.
The lecturer, somewhat puzzled,
challenged the man who had spoken to
name the article. Then up rose old
Johnny Sowerby. Said he:
81 will give you facts, professor, and
you can judge for yourself. When l was
a young man, there was little piece o.
natural magnet done up in a neat cot
ton dress as was called Betsy Maria.
She could draw me IA miles on Sunday

wind or weather. There WASH t no re-
sistin her. That magnet O yOurn is
pretty good, but it won't draw so far as

Yalue of the Egg In sickness.

The value of egg albumen as food in
certain diseased conditions is pointed
out by DR., G. E. BoyntOn. When fever
is present and appetite is nil, he says,
when we want an aseptic article of
diet, the white of an egg raw serves
both as food and medicine. The way to
give it is to drain off the albumen from
an opening about half an inch in diam
eter at the small end of the egg, the
yolk remaining inside the shell. Add a
little salt to this and direct the patient
to swallow it. Repeat every hour or
two. In typhoid fever this mode of feed
ing materially helps US in carrying out
an antiseptic plan of treatment, Fur
thermore, the albumen to certain ex-
tent may antidote the toxines of the
disease. Patients may at first rebel at
the idea of eating raw" egg, but the
quickness with which it goes down
without the yolk proves it to be less
disagreeable than they supposed, and
they are very ready to take a second
dose. Pacific Medical Journal
