Placer Gold Found.

Lehi, June ia sheepherder by the
name of Reynolds has just come in
with samples of gold found about 40
miles from here. 1t was placer gold,
and he washed out and sold about S13O

1t is found in some small creeks, and
he thinks that the bedrock can be
found, as the country is of a sandstone
formation. He says that small mug

The gentleman expects to return in a
few days and put in sluice boxes, and

DULL IN THE PIT.
Stocks Were Strong, But Transfers
Were Few and Far Between.


Were Few and Far Between.
Mining securities were strong in the
pit of the exchange yesterday. but the
transfers of the hour were few and far
between. the brokers as a general thing
standing out for better figures.
In the listed stocks, nothing was done
in the way of sales until Geyser- Marion
was reached. this favorite security be-
ing forced down to bedrock quotations,
while a small block changed hands at
IS cents, more being wanted at this
figure at the close. Mammoth chron-
icled continued gains, and although
bidding figures were higher than the
market price of the previous day. the
lowest offering was at 1922. Mercur
was also on the upgrade and was
strong at the close at $3.50 bid and
$7.35 asked. Northern Light was
slumpy and sold at a decline, 1000
shares changing hands at AZ cents
Sacramento was firmer and disclosed
upward tendencies. a transfer of 1000
shares being recorded at 81 cents. Sun

In the unlisted stocks but little was
done. Sunbeam was one of the fea-
curities, and recorded marked gains. a
board lot being picked up at Is cents,
which is the highest figure at which
this stock has posted a sale for a year
or more. Dexter was in demand, but
buyer and seller could not get together.
Chloride Point chronicled advances and
stood pat at 911a cents in the bidding,
sales being registered at this figure.
South Swansea was somewhat stronger
and advanced to S1.20 in the bidding.
