which independent workings and hoist
ing works innumerable are to be found
all over the camp, thus giving profit
able employment to thousands Of OPP
eratives, the electric railway system,
which cover the district in almost every
direction giving the miner and pros
pector quick and cheap transportation
to the various workings in the camp.
In fact, according TO Mr.. Dern, the
railroad facilities enjoyed by Cripple
Creek add much to the growth and i'm
portance of the camp, which, in many
ways, is much different from the usual
mining town, as the place boasts of a
population of $4,000, and its hotels and
stores would be an ornament to almost
any first class city in the west.
Mr.. Dern's stay in Colorado Springs
was also much enjoyed, as while there
he visited the mining exchange of that
place, the proceedings of which, he
states, might well be followed and emu
lated by the Salt Lake board, as the
transactions in the pit of the Colorado
Springs exchange are regulated by rules
which guarantee absolute protection to
the investor and stock buyer. In fact,
the Colorado exchange is a wide-awake
body the members of which are obliged
to report all sales made on the curb,
the same to be posted on the board with
the number of shares and price paid,
while all transactions on the floor are
passed through the clearing house of
the organization, by which means there
is no loophole for wash sales or crook
ed work, the broker having no oppor-
tunity of scalping his customer.

The Question of Dividends.

Today is the regular meeting day of
the Mammoth directory and it is a
mooted question as to whether or not
the company will declare its regular
monthly dividend of $4,000 for Octo-
her, the general impression being that
it will be paid, in which event the
broker who last Tuesday bought the
dividend on 100 shares of Mammoth
stock for October for So will have lost
nothing even if the transaction fails to
make him any money.
The Generalization is yet to be heard
from this month in the way of divi-
dends, and the same can be said of Sac
ramento. The former will doubtless
skip its October distribution of wealth;
while the latter is reasonably certain
to pay, with a rumor in circulation to
the effect that an increased dividend
may be looked for before the first Of
November.
In this connection it might be safe
to say that the broker Offering ycster-
day to sell the dividend ON 100 shares
of Four Aces for October for IS may
not be willing to repeat his offer. six
months hence.
The Mercur company rays its regular
SIS, 900 dividend today.

GEARS PEACE PROCLAMATION"
Mrs. Waits Lecture Before Ladies'
Literary Club

Mrs. Frona Eunice Wait, the noted
California authoress and lecturer,
spoke to a large audience at the La
dies Literary club last evening, her
subject being THE Cars Peace Proc
lamation." The speaker treated the
subject both from u sentimental and
economic standpoint, holding that the
great ruler was acting in line with his
ancestors in promulgating such a mes
sage. Then, again, from a practical
standpoint, he was perfectly sincere,
since Russia is now engaged in indus
trial development and has no time to
fight. The proclamation was not made
however, out of fear. as, the speaker
commended, Russia today is the strong
est power in the world and before long
will be the commercial nation of the
earth. The speaker argued from pres
ent indications that it would only be
few years when England would be
forced out of Egypt, lose control of the
Suez canal and thus cease to be the
great trader in the orient-forced, as it
We're, to resign the place to Russia.
Mrs. Wait lectures tonight at the As
sembly hall on the subject of Califor-
MAS vineyards. The lecture, which is
free, will be profusely illustrated by

BEAUTIES OF CRIPPLE CREEK.
Hon John Dern Highly Impressed
With This Colorado Camp.

Hon. John Dern, president of the
Mercur and several other Utah and Ne
vada mining companies, has returned
home from a visit to Cripple Creek and
Colorado Springs. and he states that he
had a most enjoyable outing, returning
home benefited by his trip.
In speaking of Cripple Creek, Colo
radios great gold camp, Mr.. Dern
stated that he was most favorably i'm
pressed with the conditions with which
this section was environed. and he pre-
diets a great future for the camp.
During his stay in Cripple Creek Mr.
Dern visited the Portland the Elkton
and Union mines, the latter receiving
the lions share of his attention, as he
is d stakeholder in the company, and
he states that in its workings fine
bodies of ore are exposed, the work in
the operation of 'gbich is carried on by
leasers, the mine giving employment at
the present time TO 145 men, and it is
this system of leasing, Mr.. Dern says,
by which nearly all of the mines of the
camp are worked, the Portland, indie
pendence and a few other properties
being exceptions to the rule.
This method Of mining, which would
be almost impracticable in many other
camps, is a success in Cripple Creek,
as the mines there embrace a perfect
network If veins. in consequence of

THE GREAT MERcUR MINE.
Indications Are Considered As Favor
able In the hillside Ground.

lnQ1cauOnS Are CONSIDERED AS EaVOT-
able In the Hillside Ground.
superintendent George z. Edwards of
the Mercur mine, accompanied by Mrs.
Edwards. was in the city yesterday,
returning home this morning.
In speaking of the gold bonanza over
which he has the honor of directing
operations, Mr.. Edwards stated that it
was looking we'll in all of its workings;
in fact, that the showing of good mill
ing mineral was something almost be-
yond comprehension, and that as the
workings were being driven further
into the hill in virgin ground, there was
its increasing in size and value, if any
thing.
In the operation of the mine every
thing is running as smoothly and as
steadily as clockwork, the usual ton
mage of ore being sent daily to the mill
at Manning, the additions to which. in
the way of improvements and increased
capacity, were being pushed ahead as
rapidly as possible.
In referring to the Hillside, adjoin-
ing the Mercur, Mr.. Edwards stated
that the owners of this valuable ground
were sinking right along, and that the
incline shaft had now reached depth
at which it might well be expected ore
would be broken into any day, and he
is of the opinion that good pay mineral
will be found there, as the workings of
the Mercur, headed that way, are
within 500 feet of the Hillside ground,
and the ore zones are strong and are
pitching towards this property in such
a manner as almost to insure their eX-
tension into that region.

The mining share market was strong
again yesterday, and quite a number of
securities participated in the dealings
of the day, quotations being on the up
grade in several instances, the bulls
seemingly having possession of the pit.
This was especially noticeable dur
ing the call of Four Aces, which was
a ready seller at Is cents, which is the
highest point reached by this security
for more than a year past; but at the
close the stock weakened a little, the
quotations being Az cents bid and 14ts
cents asked. GeySer- Marion was steady
and maintained former figures, board
lot selling at 67A cents. Sacramento,
however, was the leading future of the
call. At the opening it looked as II
there would be no business in this Sc
curity, but later on 1,OOO-Share lot
sold on future delivery at 60 cents, buy
er 60 days, and this set the stock in
motion, sales being recorded as high
as 81 cents, Immediate delivery, and
before the close another future, buyer
60 days, was sold at 81 cents. Utah
had friends in the pit, the opening SAFE
of this stock being at So cents, lot
changing hands at 6612 before the I'M
listed stocks were called for.
In this class of securities there was
also a great deal OF activity, the pears
holding their own with the bovines in
the call of these stocks South Swansea
was firmly held and popular, but was
inactive in the way of sales, the brokers
being anxious to reach Dexter, which
was very firmly held, although a frac-
tional loss was recorded before the
close; but in the meantime 900 shares
had changed hands at from $264A to
S2.65, the closing quotations being
S264k bid and 1886 asked. Golden
Eagle found buyers at 35s cents, while
Little Pittsburg was weaker than dur
ing the previous call, and sold freely
at 81 and 31s cents.
The transactions of the day were as
follows:

ADMIRAL DEWEY'S RETURN.
Navy Department Knows Nothing Of
His Intentions.

Washington, Oct. 19.-Relative to the
report that Admiral Dewey is about to
take ship at Hongkong on Nov. 5 for
the United States, it is said at the navy
department that the admiral has not
communicated with the navy depart
ment directly, nor has he been instruct-
ed to return
Just before the peace commission met
in Paris an intimatiOn was conveyed &c
Admiral Dewey that he might be of
assistance to the American commits
sioners if he would leave Manila AMI
go to Paris. The admiral replied that
he could be of more service to the
United States at Manila, and General
Merritt was sent to Paris in his stead.
1t is believed that the admiral was
told at that time that he might remain
at Manila as long as he thought int.
which may be construed as permission
to him to return at any time.
