NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Jan. 19-The volume of
business in stocks to-day was about one
third lighter than yesterdays aggregate
and the usually inactive shares were de-
cidedly less prominent. The movement
Of prices was irregular but an undercur-
rent of strength was discernible and, as
a result OF the days operations, almost
general net gains were scored. In some
OF the high priced industrials the ad-
yances were material. There was but lit
tie news calculated to bear upon the gem
eral list An undecided tone in the Lon
don market for American securities was
offset sentimentally by the cabled an
nouncement OF reduction in the discount
rate of the Imperial Bank of Germany
and the initial quotations were generally
above yesterdays final prices. The ex-
ecution of selling orders for London ac-
count and contradictory export reports
as to the probability or practicabil;ty Of
shipments Of gold to Europe regardless of
international credit conditions, together
with the absence of commission BUSH
ness, soon encouraged bear activity. In
the reaction tobacco and sugar were
conspicuous. The setback was short liv-
ed, however, and the market again start
ed upward under the leadership Of con-
solidated gas. Railway and miscellane-
ous bonds continued to trend upward on
investment purchases for foreign and do
nestle account The speculative issues
figured largely in the dealings, but the
gains were mainly fractional. The us
ually inactive bonds fiuctuated widely
and material gains were noted in some
of the gilt-edged securities. The sales
were $2,24S,000. Governments stinened
slightly on purchases of $4,000.

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-02-03

George ST. Clair of Ophir, accom-
panied by his brother Will, was in the
city yesterday and The Herald is in
formed that it is the intention of these
gentlemen to leave for the coast to-
day or tomorrow for the purpose of
taking a little vacation for a month or
so in San Francisco and Sacramento.
During the past year Mr.. ST. Clair
has been working the Chloride Point
mine, on Lion hill, on a lease, and he
states that it is one of the richest prop
critics to be found in that portion of
the district.
In his operations in the Chloride
Point, which is now the property of
the Chloride Point Consolidated Min
ing company, Mr.. st. Clair devoted his
time to the extraction of the rich bodies
of ore in this property, which, he says,
would vary in size, but, according to
his statement. he has made shipments
mineral which assayed $50 ounces in
silver and 81 in gold to the ton.
Mr.. st. Clair expresses the opinion
that the Chloride Point has been but
barely scratched during the past his
tory, and that in the aggregation of
claims embraced in the group there is
a vast territory of virgin ground.
Mr.. st. Clair, in his lease on the
Chloride Point, took a nice sum of
money cut of this mine; and he is also
interested in valuable claims adjoining
the same, on which he has just given
a bond to the promoters of the Chloride
Point enterprise.

The Overland Showing.

J. J. Brown of Sunshine, who was in
the city yesterday, brought in with him
the glad intelligence that in the incline
/ north from the bottom of the shaft in
the Overland mine a 12-foot body of
magnificent ore had been uncovered
within the past few days, and that on
account of this fine showing in the
property the people of the camp were
feeling highly elated.
Mr.. Brown also stated that it was re-
ported that on the $50 level in the Sun
shine mine fine bodies of ore had been
encountered of late that gave average
values of SIS, $40 and So in gold to the
ton.
According to Mr.. Brown it is more
than likely that the Five Mile Pass
country will come to the front this sea-
son. as in the Paymaster In the face
of a 30-foot tunnel, the hanging wall of
the vein, which is becoming mineral
lied, shows some gold values, and it
is believed that with development the
property will develop into a paying
proposition.
In the vicinity of Sunshine consider
able prospecting work is going on at
the present time. Among the properties
that are being worked are the NAL
vern, the Pacific and the w. ". P. and
also the Sunshine west dip mines,
known as the Hazel Lily, the Buckeye
and the Little Ontario, on all of which
the indications are very encouraging.

ACTIVITY AT RANDsBURG.
The Mojave Desert Gold Camp Push
ing to the Front.

Tim DriScoll, the veteran miner and
prospector, is in receipt of another let
ter from r. d. McMillin regarding the
gold camp of Randsburg, in the Mo-
jave desert, in California, in which he
states that the proSDectorS there are
still making numerous strikes in that
locality, and that a great many people
are arriving there daily, the stages
being crowded: while there is a ready
sale of town lots in the new bonanza,
and he also states that another town,
named Johannesburg, has sprung up
about a mile from Randsburg, and it
is reported that this camp is also
booming. Mr.. McMillin says that if
the mines show up one-twentieth as
good with depth as they do at the
surface, the district will be wonder.
Mr.. McMillin also writes that it is
understood that a big company is max
ing arrangements to begin operations
near the Needles on the Colorado,
while further down the stream the old
Julian mine has been sold to eastern
parties, who are getting ready to work
the property; and he further states
that in the same locality there is a
number of other valuable propositions,
which, at the present time, are being
examined by Colorado mining men.
From what / have heard" continues
Mr.. McMillin, there is a wonderfully
rich stretch of mineralized country
along the Colorado between the Nee
dies and Yuma, and l believe that it
would be a good place for some intel
ligent prospecting. Gold Rock is the
name of one of the new camps in this
section, and it is said that it is a
hummer"
The writer states that F. M. Franks,
the well-known mining man, is now at
Randsburg, but he did not say how he
was prospecting.

CALLERS ON M'KINLEY. "a
EACH AND EVERY ONE HAS AN
AXE TO GRIND.
Two Maryland Booms-Gary of Bal
timore May Have Chance-It Is
Certain Long Has Been rendered
the Position of Secretary of the
Navy.

Canton, Feb. 1.-TWO Maryland
booms for cabinet appointments met
here today and Senator Wellington, of
that state, who did not come nearer
Canton than Cleveland, is credited with
having quietly assisted in causing one
of them to drop quickly from public
view. The withdra~al of Judge Golf
from the list of cabinet possibilities
caused the friends of. James =. Gary
of Baltimore to think that there was
an opportunity for a Maryland repre-
sentative in the cabinet, and as he is
Endorsed by influential politicians in
all but two of the southern states, a
strong showing was and has again
been made in his behalf. Judge Lewis
McCammas, former member of con-
g1ess from Hagerstown, now a judge
in the District of Columbia, has been
suggested by many of his friends as an
available man for appointment to the
cabinet 1t is understood that the Re
publican organization in the state,
which is controlled by Senator We'll
lington, is not friendly to him.
The Missouri delegation which came
to Canton this afternoon to ask Major
Mckinley to appoint Major William
Warner of Kansas City to the cabinet
made a strong argument in his behalf.
1t is the third delegation which has
visited Canton to suggest the appoint
ment of Major Warner. 1t was argued
that his selection for the cabinet would
harmonic the party, close the old Fill
ley-Kerens feud and bring the state of
Missouri into the Republican column
four years hence. 1t is the general be-
lief here that Major Mckinley may de-
eide, at the last moment, to complete
his cabinet without having a member
from the south in it. The Missouri Wis
itors presented endorsements of Major
Warner from the Legislatures of Indi-
ana, Texas, Kansas and their own
state 1t would occasion surprise IL
the president-eiect should not choose
a New York Republican for his official
family, though it is not probable that
he will leave both New York and the
south out of it. The final cast for the
cabinet has not been made, and no
one knows the precise position that will
be occupied by some of the men who
have been offered and accepted cabinet
appointments. 1t cannot be positively
affirmed that Ex-Governor Long OF
Massachusetts will be secretary of the
navy until the two remaining places
are filled, though it is certain that he
has been rendered and accepted a posi-
ton.
Among Major McKinley's callers
were C. w. Van Der Hoogt of Balti-
more, secretary of the state bureau
of immigration, and a possible candi-
date for the position of commissioner
of immigration; NJ. J. Stanley of Bowl
ing Green, o., candidate for position of
captain of the watch in the treasury
department; William Fee of Warren,

According to this report it will be
seen that during the year the COM
pany disbursed $450,OOO in dlVldends,
and that during this time it paid
three dividends of 81 a share, which
is magnificent showing, considering
the heavy slump in the silver ana
lead market, besides which there is
a nice balance in the treasury, which
has doubtless been augmented since
the first of the year. The receipts
from ore sales also show up well, and
while these have not been much in
excess of it's dividend and expense &C
count, it is generally understood that
the company could if it wished more
than quadruple its output of the
precious metals.
The Centennial-E stands high
in mining circles in this western coun-
try, and not only because of the fact
that the mine is one of the richest and
best properties in the west, but also
because the management of the COM
pany is all that could be desired and
deals ION the square with its stock
holders
