The stock market was fairly active
again yesterday, but the excitement
that was so marked the first and the
middle of the week was not as strongly
manifest Quotations were also lower
ano there was visible decrease in the
demand for gilt-edged securities.
More attention however, was paid
to the listed stocks, and although these
did not figure extensively in the trans
fers, they drew out more inquiry than
for the past ten days.
Ajax, which has been gaining in
strength during the week, closed very
firm at Sc cents bid and IS asked.
Bullion-Beck also rallied and made adj
vances in the bidding, while in the
asking the stock was strong at 81.
One noticeable feature of the call was
the jump in Dalton & Lark, which was
wanted a II cents, and it is safe to
say that this stock will soon reach the
25-cent mark. Geyser chronicled gains,
both in the bidding and the offerings,
and -Four Aces held its own in good
shape in the bids while in the asking
il developed an upward tendency.
Mercur also scored advances and. so
shares changed hands at $3.50. The
when Mammoth was called and this
stock closed weak at $2.1212 bid, Of
fered at 81 80.
The unlisted stocks received the same
earnest attention that they always do
and a great deal of interest was taken
in the call of these stocks Swansea,
which has been on a steady decline for
the last four days, was crowded still
lower and made sales at S2.45, which
is a loss of 3 cents over the selling price
of the day before. South Swansea
suffered as usual with the decline in
Swansea, but not so seriously, as the
stock was firm at $L7712 bid and S1.S5
asked, with no sales. Ben Hur was
strong and made advances, while Sun
liam was irm at the ruling quota
tions. Lucky Bill was active in the
ufCulng and closed firm a 201s bid.
Northern Light was inclined to be sta
tionary and this security closed at
nearly the figures of the day before.
The week IN the pit has been replete
with interesting features and re-
maThable range in the fiuctuation of
stocks was noticeable. On Monday the
bulls held possession of the floor and
a number of encouraging advances
we're noted. Swansea was strong at
s3 bid and South Swansea made trans
fers at $40. Mammoth was very
strong in the neighborhood of $2.75 and
everyone was excited over the way
that Northern Light was going. Bull
lion-Beck IS also a favorlte.
About the middle of the week, how
ever, a break occurred, and nearly all
of the leading stocks suffered a de-
cline: and all of the securities men
toned above, with the exception of
Northern Light, closed at figures con-
siderable lower than the opening quo
tatiOns the beginning of the week.
Ajax, Mercur and Four Aces were
among the stocks that made and sus-
tanned advances during the week
while Sunbeam, Homestake and Buck
eve sustained no losses.
The transactions of the week were
as follows.

WYOMING IRON HINES.
Examination to Be Made by Mr.
Fred Wilde, jr.

Fred Wilde, jr.
Cheyenne, Wyo., Jan. Son Sunday.
the 10th inst, Mr.. Fred Wilde, jr.,
general freight agent of the Denver
& Gulf road. will arrive here in his
private car accompanied by a number
of Colorado capitalists who will be
taken to the HartVille iron mines, SO
miles north Of this place. The gentle
men will carefully inspect the proper
ties and the resources of the neighbour
hood with a view to investing consld-
cradle capital in the district.
Shipments of iron ore to the Denver
shelters have been going on for several
months. and it was found that the ore
could be successfully used for fluNi1'g
purposes. and with a handsome profit
to the shippers. The Hartville iron
mines have long been looked upon as
valuable properties, but until last fall
there was no way of reaching them
on account of there being no bridge
across the Platte river in the immedi
ate neighborhOOd. The county, seeing
the necessity of such an Improvement,
constructed5a bridge, and now the ores
can be hauled a distance of y miles
to the Cheyenne q Northern railroad
and shipped to Denver at a handsome
profit II the Colorado gentlemen are
satisfied with the prospects q branch
road will be built to the mines in the
spring and shipments of ore Will be
commenced on large scale.

THE HoMEsTAKE SHOWING.
Encouraging Developments in This
Tintic Property.

Z. P Sears, superintendent of the
Homestal1e mine, near Silver City, Tin
tic. who is in the city, informs The
Herald that the shaft in this property
is now down to the 260-foot level, and
that as work progresses the ore body
is increasing in size as we'll as in
values.
Two shifts are employed in the de-
yelopment of the Homestake and in the
bottom of the shaft the pay streak is IS
inches in width and carries values Of
% per cent copper, from % to so ounces
in silver and from 81 II SO in gold to
the ton. The ledge on which the shaft
is being sunk is about Is feet in width
and five feet from the pay ore in the
bottom of the shaft there is another
chute of ore of about the same size
that carries about the same assay
values.
ON the dump the company has about
a carload of ore ready for shipment,
which will run better than any con-
signments yet made from this prop
erty.
Mr. Sears is also directing the work
that is now being done in the develop
ment of the Florence mine which ad-
joins the old Park, at Silver City.
Operations have hardly begun as yet
on this property, and yet, at a depth
of only ten or twelve feet body OF
ore has been encountered and it is be-
lieved that the company will work in
pay ore almost from the surface The
Florence holdings extend from Silver
City to Mammoth and there is little
doubt but that the mine will prove to
be q most valuable one.
on the Park, adjoining, as stated IN
these columns yesterday, active work
has been begun. and the owners of
this ground expect to strike ore at
depth of only ten feet. Ii fact, they
know that this will be the case, as
but few feet distant, in one of the
old workings of the property, fine lot
of shipping ore has been taken out IN
the past at about this depth.
According to Mr. Sears all is life and
activity in and around Silver City, and
this promises to develop into one of
the most important portions of the dis
tr.in

THE INDEPENDENCE WINE.
Valuable Idaho Property Owned by
Salt Lakers.

1T is always good for sore eyes" as
the miners say, Ito look at ore that
carries free gold in the native state
and in nuggets as large as pin head -
But it is not often that gold occurs in
so pure a state that it gives a metallic
ring when taken from the mine. Such
ore is sometimes found, however and
c. NJ Freed of this city. is showing
his friends and acquaintance some
gold ore from the Independence mine,
in Idaho, that is nearly all gold, with
the appearance of having at one time
filled in the vein when in a molten
state.
The independence Mining company,
which was incorporated in this city a
few days ago, is the owner of two
claims near Ruby Creek. at the mouth
of Moore's Creek. in Boise county, Ida.
This property is on TIE edge of the
great Boise basin, which, since the dis
covery that this region was full of
gold has produced over $500, 100000 in
the yellow metal. principally from
placer deposits. and these placers were
fed from the gold lodges in the sur
rounding mountains, prominent among
which is the Independence ledge, which
is one of the richest to be found in
that locality.
On the independence and Johnston

lance of 1000 feet. The vein is a true
fissure in granite, and when first pros
pected the pay streak of gold was only
two inches in width at the surface, but
at a depth of 16 feet the pay ore
widened out to three feet. and an
average assay across the ledge shows
values of from $40 to $40 in gold to the
ton: while in the bottom of the S0-foot
shaft ore has been taken that will run
tr1fn 1,n Ir1-, r-aHc in low
metal. and in some instances the rock
is what might be called the pure
quill and assays over $4,000 in gold
to the ton.
The ore is a decomposed quartz in
which the gold exists very largely in
a free state, and it is estimated, owing
to the fact that water and wood abound
in that region, that the ore can be
treated at a cost Of So a ton.
At the present time the company is
running tunnel for the purpose of
cross-cutting the ledge. This tunnel is

THE WEST ONTARIO.
Bad Cave-in in the Shaft Fully Re.
paired.

Park City, Jan. 9.-The West On
tario shaft, which suffered a bad cave
in 40 feet from the top and continuing
to the depth of $50 feet some time
ago. has been fully repaired and is
now in good shape down to the old
workings at the 400 foot level The
parties who have charge of the work
are just now considering where best to
drift, which will most likely be from
the 400 foot level. Work will be COM
menced in one or two weeks.
The rumor is abroad that a rich
strike has been made in the West On
tario, but one of the men directly in
terested states that while they have a
good vein, there is no paying ore in
sight.
The work of retimbering No. 1 On
tario tunnel has now reached to with
in 900 feet of No. shaft.
On Friday the Macintosh sampler re-
ceived 62 tons of Silver King ore and
Ii tons of Varcoe e Flint concentrates.
The splendid roads are enabling the
Silver King teams to load quite
heavily.
This morning the Marsac mill shipped
to New York City q bars containing
"a $50. % ounces fine silver.

GRAND CENTRAL sTHIKE.
Caught the Mammoth Gold Vein on
the 7OO-Level.

Mention was made in these columns
some time ago that in the Grand Cen
tral ground, not far from the Mann
moth mine in Tintic district, the ledge
had been cut in the drift from the
shaft, but it was stated soon after
that although the ore body was a large
one, that it did not carry any heavy
values.
Since that time work has been con-
tinued in the development of the prop
erty. and it was stated yesterday in
the papers published at Eureka that
a good body of pay ore had been en-
countered but on the outside it was
not supposed that the strike was any
thing to make much of brag about,
but it was learned yesterday that in
stead of being a silver-lead deposit
the workings in the property had
broken into an extension of the gold
zone from the Mammoth mine. and
that the mineral carries high values in
the yellow metal.
This strike. according to The Her
AIDS informant. was made in the drift
from the 700-fOot level, and it is stated
that the strike is an important one
in more ways than one, as it proves
the extension of the Mammoth ground
and adds quite an area of virgin
ground to this old producer

FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT.
The Marion Demands That Orders
Be Enforced.


The defendants in the suit of Mat
thew f. Osborn, S. B. Miner and
Glen r. Boutwell,, owners of the Gey-
ser Mining company, against the Mar
ion Mining company, yesterday filed
in the district court affidavits and pc
tition praying that an order of the
court issue citing the plaintiffs Miner,
Osborn, Boutwell, and H. l.. Benner
to show cause why they should not
be punished for contempt of court.
1t is set I'D in the affidavit of Jo-
seph Smith, the general manager and
superintendent OF the Marion COM
pany, that on July 10, 1895, the dis
trict court issued an injunction pre-
venting the Geyser company from
taking ores from the Marion claim
and also enjoining them from taking
ores from any part of the vein alleged
to have its apex in the Marion claim,
not only in regard to any portion of
the vein embraced in the boundaries of
the Marion extended downward YER
tically, but also all that portion of the
vein northerly of a vertical plane
downward through the northerly side
line of the Marion between planes
drawn vertically through the end lines
of the Marion extending indefinitely in
their own direction.
1t is represented that notwithstand-
ing that order, S. B. Miner, NJ. T. Gis-
born, G. r. Boutwell, and II. L. Ben
ner between January !. 1896, and jan
uary 2, 1897, continuously extracted
large quantities of valuable ore from
the ground mentioned, and that the
restraining order was in force until
the trial of the case before Judge
Richie and is still in force pending the
appeal to the supreme court from
Judge Ritchie's decision.
Judge Hiles yesterday. issued an or
der for Osborn, Miner, Boutwell, and

now in distance of 1853 feet, and it is
estimated that within a distance of so
feet further the ore body will be en-
countered at a vertical depth of 100
feet, and that when this is done that
at least $500 tons of ore will have
been blocked out that, at a conserva-
tive estimate, will be worth $65 900.
1t is on account of this magnificent
showing that the officers of the COM
pany and it's fortunate stockholders are
feeling as if Santa Claus had dropped
a fat wad of greenbacks into their
stockings, for they have every reason
to believe that before this time next
year the mine will be paying divi-
dends.

Mining company are c. NJ. Freed,

dent and general manager, and H. a.
