= Mining Notes and Personals.

Manager G. R. Boutwell,, of the Sacra-
mento. went out to the mine yesterday
morning.
After Quitting with fine team, wagon
and a lot of supplies, H. l.. Benner, who,
for several years was superintendent of
the Geyser-Marion at Mercur, left a
day or two ago for southwestern Utah,
and he VIII remain in that section of
the state until he becomes the DosseSsor
of a bonanza proposition as he is strong
ly impressed with the great mineraliZa-
ton of this locality and is firmly i'm
pressed with the belief that ne will find
rich gold, silver and copper mines there.
Hon. Thomas G. Merrill of this city, is
now spending most of his time at Clancy
Mont. where he is pushing work in the
operation and development of the Liver
pool mine in which he is heavily inter-
ested A nice body of high grade ore
has been disclosed in this property and
shipments will soon be the order of the
day. 1t is limited that when Mr.. Merrill
returns to Salt Lake it will be with
pocket full of money, as the Liverpool now
has all the earmarkS of a bonanza propo-
sition.
]. A. Bard, the well known mining and
mill man, is in the city. For the past four
or five months Mr.. Bard has been in
charge of the Italian gold mine near Lees
burg, Ida, and he speaks in the highest
terms of the condition and future of this
property, and is of the opinion that with
more extensive development and the adj
dition of a teaching plant to its stamp
mill equipment the mine would make a
great reputation as a dividend payer.

DEXTER WAS STRONG.
Business Was Stagnant Yesterday In
Mining Stock Circles.


Business in the pit of the exchange
yesterday was very tame and but lit
tie was done in the way of stock trans
fers, the bulk of the business of the
hour being confined to the establish
ment OF quotations.
On account of the unavoidable absence
of Caller Hudson, j. ]. Bamberger
filled the breach in the regular order
of things with credit to himself and to
the satisfaction of the brokers pres
ent.
In the listed securities Mammoth
was the only stock to score in the way
of sales, the shares in this popular Sc
curity slumping to $1.921s, at which
figure 200 changed hands. Centennial
Eureka was strong, being wanted in
board lots at S33 with offerings at $50,
while a ten share lot was, wanted at
$3.50. Grand Central fell off q little
in the bidding but was firmly held,
while nothing was done in Geyser-
Marion, which was able to maintain
quotations of the previous day. Mercur
was sighted and was only able to
post bid of $40, with holders firm at
$3.50 in the asking. Northern Light
was so weak that it was necessary to
handle it with care, the closing quota
lions being rs cents bid and 31s cents
asked.
Little Pittsburg was the most active
among the unlisted stocks, sales be-
ing registered at rs and .s2A cents.

Conner In the keystone.

Elmer 3. Hill of Bingham, the man.
ager of the keystone and Fortune
mines, in the Dalton & Lark country
who was in the city yesterday, informs
The Herald that these properties are
looking exceedingly well and that he
is shipping good ore to the Salt Lake
market as fast as teams can haul 1t
away from the mines, while the show
ing in the lower tunnel of the keystone
is all that could be desired.
From another source it is learned
that in the face of the lower tunnel of
the keystone, which has been driven
into the hill a distance of 1900 feet, a
body of ore the full size of the work
ings was encountered Thursday morn
ing, which carried values of from II to
Is per cent copper, as well as GOOD
values in gold and silver
Mr.. Hill has been indefatigable in the
work of developing the Keystone and
Fortune and has shown excellent judg-
ment and skill in the way he has han
died these properties. Although meet
ing with many obstacles and him
ORANGES in this work, he has perso vered
until he has demonstrated that he was
in the right, and now he is receiving
deserved words of eulogy and praise.

Generalization Dividend.

The directors of the Geyser- Marion
company held a meeting yesterday and
declared dividend No. IL of 2 cents a
share, or $4,000, payable June 80, the
transfer books of the company closing
yesterday afternoon.
With the payment of this dividend
the company will have distributed the
sum of $4,000 to its shareholders since
the consolidation of the Geyser and
Marion properties less than two years
ago, and it is reported that the condi-
ton of the property should ensure the
continuance of these payments for
long time to come.
June 80 is seemingly favorite day
with the dividend payers of Utah, as
on that day the Mammoth will distrib-
ute $40, 600, the South Swanea $500. the
Horn Silver $4,000. while on the 2Sth
the Sacramento will come to the front
with its dividend of $1,000.

The advance of silver quotations
yesterday to 591s cents. the second
time for this month, caused consider
able pleasure and self-congratulation
among mining and business men, as it
gives foundation to the hope as we'll
as the belief that the white metal will
not cease its upward march until con-
! ditions will be such that all of the sill
yer producers of the west can be re-
opened and proftably worked. During
the past five years the cause of silver
has had a hard road to hoe, and at
times the prospect was especially
gloomy, as during this period quota
lions touched as low as 81 cents.
1t was five years ago yesterday that
silver quotations started on their
downward course. This was on Sat
ing S014 cents.
On Monday of the following week it
was announced that the Indian mints
had been closed to the coinage of silver,
the result being that there were eXclt-
ing times on the streets of Salt Lake,
silver producers feeling that the jig
was up and that the bottom had
dropped out of everything, the quota
ton that day being II cents.
The next day it dropped to 7S and
the next to 50, and then the dealing
in futures began and the day following
spot silver was quoted at 81 cents and
60 cents, so days. The next day silver
rallied little, the morning quotation
being 60 cents spot and 62 cents, buyer
80 days, and in the afternoon private
advices were received indicating an
advance, the closing quotation being 66
cents.
On tho LET dav of T11Iv 1909 siivar
touched the 70-cent mark and in Aug
ust IL went as high as 75A cents, and
the quotations hung around this point
until late in October, when the pur-
chasing act of the Sherman bill was
repealed
On Aug. 81 silver closed at 6S cents,
and ever since it has fluctuated back
and forth, gradually losing ground,
until, during the past few years, it has
had a hard time to keep above the so
cent mark, and in consequence there
is much rejoicing in mining circles to
see that the daily quotations are grad
ually moving upward.
Still, it is a long way yet to the
mark occupied by the white metal in
1890, when, as a well-knoWn mining
man stated yesterday, silver was
quoted at $1.1S and lead at So.
The slump in silver and lead has
almost paralyzed the mining industry
in this western country during the past
eight or nine years, and almost every
other line of business has suffered in
the same ratio, and there is no ques-
tioning the accuracy of the statement
made to the effect that until silver is
restored to its rightful position by the
side Of gold this country will never
again feel or see genuine and lasting
prosperity.
