The sale of a hundred shares of
Northern Light yesterday morning
was the only thing that saved the
exhange from a whitewash.
But little interest was taken in the
call and the securities did nothing
more than to hold their own, although
some of the stocks were weak and
slumpy Ajax travelled in this class
and so did Dalv. Bullion-Becl1 was
quite strong in the holdings, but in the
bidding it was dull and inactive. There
was some inquiry for Galena and the
stock still retains its hold as favor
ite. IN the bidding the quotations were
about the same as yesterday, but hold
ers stood out fer better prices. Geyser
exhibited no change and was station
airy at the figures Of the previous day.
Mercur was firm and in good demand
at the usual figures, but as holders
would make no concessions this
popular security did not figure in the
transactions OF the call Mammoth
was quiet at $50 bid and $1.55 asked.
Nothing was done in Geyser- Marion,
which pays its first regular dividend
of cents a share today. Northern
Light relieved the monOtOny of the
call by the sale of a hundred shares
al Sc cents and at Inc close this bid
was raised to S614 without drawing out
any more OF the stock. Ontario was
able to hold its own in the bidding, but
buyer and seller were a long ways
apart. Sunshine failed to score a bid
and the shares were offered at 3213
cents. Utah is still held for an adj
vance but vas slow in the bidding.
The unlisted stocks have been sadly
neglected Of late and but very few of
them have been called up. even for the
purpose of making a quotation, if moth
ing else. Swansea was dull and slow
in the bidding and suffered a slight
decline, although in the asking it
maintained its own South Swansea
registered a scent gain in the bids,
but 10 cents stood between buyer and
seller. dalton was a little off color,
while HomestaIe was slaughtered by
the bears and was offered as low as
AZ cents with no takers in the pit.
Sunbeam was depressed and was not
wanted to any extent. Grand Central
was posted at S110 in the asking. but
received the farcical bid of % cents.
Little Pittsburg was steady al the
regulation quotation. but was inactive.
The transactions of the day were as
follows:

Contracting Ajax Ores.

In line with other leading mining
companies of Utah the Ajax yesterday
contracted the output of its mine for
the ensuing year, or a large portion Of
it, T. r. Jones & Co. being rewarded
with the contract. which runs until the
first dav of March next.
1t is understood that the contract is
a favorable one considering present
conditions, and that for its copper ores
the company will get the same rates
that it had last year, while on dry ores
the treatment has been raised a dollar
a ton.
For some time rast the Ajax has
been shipping at the rate of 500 tons
a month and The Herald is informed
that this tonnage will be increased to
d thousand a. month in the future
It is stated that the property of the
company is looking we'll and that as
work progresses large bodies of good
shipping and milling ore are being ex-
posed.

ented piece of ground that overlaps
portion of the Ajax property. In fact,
the ore bins and the assay office of the
Ajax company are located on the Hun
garian claim, and it was for this rea-
son, and also for the fact that Mr..
Knox was largely interested in the
Ajax, that induced him to make the
purchase, as its ownership by others
was constant menace to the Ajax
holdings.
In many other ways it was desirable
to secure the ownership of this ground,
as ii is very valuable in It's mineral de-
posts, and in the past has figured in
the list as a shipper.
The Hungarian was formerly owned
by Messrs. Gerber and Hofer, who re-
ceived part payment down, while the
balance of the purchase price is to be
paid within a year
Just back of the Ajax assay office
on the Hungarian the former owners
OF the property shipped two carloads
of ore from the surface that was sold
on controls showing values of 5000 to
the ton in the precious metals, while
further on, across the gulch, five car
loads of ore were shipped from the
grass-roots that paid well, and there
IS no doubt but that with a little de-
velopment this ground would come to
the front as heavy producer of gold.
silver and copper.
BY good rights this piece of property
should form part OF the Ajax group as
large portion of il is embraced with
in its side and end lines, and it is be-
lieVed that in time the COMPANY will
take it in, and it is the desire of Mr.
Knox that it should do So

Encouraging Showing at Manning
and Sunshine

Mercur, April 2S.-At the Fedora
group, near Manning, H. Jones of Mer-
cur has taken a contract to sink the
shaft 40 feet, which will complete it
/ to the 100-foot level. Mr.. Jones has
worked at the Golden Gate for a mum
/ Der of wears and is pretty well ac-
quainted with the character of the
veins around Mercur. He is of the
opinion that the property is in a good
locality and is likely to prove valu-
able.
At the Great Eastern an incline is
being run to cut the ore vein and as
sessment work is being done in sur
rounding properties.
At the Gold Hill. which lies just west
of the Mercur mill, a shaft has been
sunk 20 feet. and prosecuting is in
progress. The Toys think they have the
same vein which crops out in the Crown
Point
At the west dip, where the free gold
discovery was made a few days ago
an incline is being sunk on the vein
The incline is now about % feet deep.
and a strong vein is found in the face
of the workings. Assays from a trace
to IS can be found. The indications for
reaching a valuable ore body in time
are very good.
In regard to the alleged free gold dis
covery, Mr.. Beauregard stated that the
first gold was found at the surface and
was about twice as large as a pin head.
A number of parties saw the stuff and
are satisfied it was gold. About four
feet from the surface a little more
gold was discerned but it was much
finer than the other. Yesterday a little
more was found, and ii was so fine
that it might be called free gold. This
last was found 20 feet down the in
cline
1t is not claimed that there is free
gold in paying quantities; in fact very
little has been found, and the explora-
ton now going on is net with any hope
of reaching a vein bearing free gold 1t
is expected that a good grade of leach
ing ore will be found. however, and the
discovery of the free gold is taken as
an indication of a valuable vein in the
vicinity.
At the Gold Point depth of 200 feet
has been reached. and the theory is
that the ore will be reached at a depth
of 500 feet. Ten men are EMPLOYED in
the property.
At he Overland the work is pro-
crossing slowly but with encouraging
results. From the 150-foot level an in
cline was run on the vein "a feet, and
from this level a drift was run north
240 feet. This is all in ore or good
teaching values.
A drift has also been run south about
40 feet, and a face OF ore II feet thick is
found here. A Wine is being sunk to
try and reach the footwall, and an up
raise is being made to reach the hang
ing. In this drift the ore averages SO
per ton.
Work or the Molle Gibson is pro-
crossing as rapidly as can be expected,
and the contract on the Search Light
is rapidly drawing to a finish.
AT the Buckeye two men are at work,
and the mine is looking all right.

AN OLD RossLAND PIONEER.
At One Time an Owner in the Famous
LIE Roi Mine.

Quite a number of Salt Lakers, it is
understood, have become interested in
mining in the Kootenai county, in Brit
ish Columbia, and it is stated that
within the next few weeks several of
our mining men win leave for the lively
mining camps in that region.
A H. Talbot is one of the number,
and he will be accompanied on his trip
by Sheriff T. P. Lewis, who believes
that he will be able to strike something
rich in this land of mineral wealth.
1t may not be generally known, but
it is stated that Mr.. Talbot was one or
the pioneers of the Rossiand ditrict.
and that in 1890 he owned a seventh
interest in the famous LIE Roi mine,
which is now valued at 100000. OIL
yer Durant was a partner with Mr.
Talbot in this interest in the LIE Rol,
and they made a. neat little stake when
the property was sold, but from MI
Talbot it is learned that they are in
terested in an adjoining property which
promises to develop into a greater pro-
Queer than the LIE Roi ever was.
Mr.. Talbot gives a glowing descrip-
ton of the Rcssland district. and he is
of the opinion that it is destined to
come to the front as one of the greatest
producers of mineral wealth to be found
on the American continent, while he
states that the other prominent camps
of the Kootenai country are marvels
in their deposits of shipping and mill
ing ore.
Among these Trail and SLOGAN are
prominent, while the new camp of
Boundary Creek, west of Rossland, is
rapidly acquiring fame on account of
its large bodies of gold, silver and cop
per ore.
Mr. Talbot confirms the reports that
a number of railroads are heading for
that region, besides which several
smelters are now in operation, while
others are in contemplation.
Messrs. Talbot and Lewis will leave
for the north tomorrow or next day
and upon their return The Herald is
promised a full description of the
mines of Rossland.
