BOOM IN STOCKS.
Prices Reached the Highest Level of
the Year.


New York, Dec. 16.-Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow will say: An
enormous aggregate of transactions in
both bonds and stocks, with an unusu-
ally wide range in the variety of secu-
rifles traded in, have been accompan-
led this week by advances which car
ried prices for a majority of the stock
exchange list to the highest level Of the
year. While large speculative inter
ests have been active and manipulation
has not been lacking, the most con-
spicuous developments were the large
influx of public purchasing and the
equally marked buying for European
account, accompanied by activity and
advances in the American department
of the London market.
In many respects the movement was
calculated to bring to mind the So
called boom" OF 1S79-S0, the more 50
because in both cases a series of eX-
ceptionally large credit balances in the
foreign trade of the United States, &C
companied by an expansion of general
business and decidedly favorable re-
suits as regards railroad earnings and
dividends, furnish the basis for specu-
Iative confidence. In the present case,
however the conditions both in these
respects and in regard to the accumu-
lated capital of the country are deemed
so superior to those upon which pre-
vious demonstrate tons of confidence were
based, that some of the most prominent
individual interests in Wall street are
emphatic in declaring that prices win
be carried to a much higher level. Such
views. in fact, find general credence in
financial circles, but at the same tim5
the market, after q. remarkable exhibit
ton of it's bullish temper in the early
part of the week, presented the symp-
toms of a heavy realizing of profits by
professional interests, which to a con-
siderable extent, checked the advance
in parts of the list in which the upward
movement had been made pronounced,
and diminished the volume of trade to a
considerable extent.

New York, Dec. 16.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade tomor-
row will say: December is adding
surprising close to the most surprising
year of American history. November
surpassed all other months of the cen
fury in volume of business and produce
ton, and thus far December is doing
even better in payments through clear
ing houses, in railroad earnings, in for
eign trade, in output of pigiron in ac-
tlVlty and strength of securities. But
that is saying a great deal, for in all
these and other tests, November was
far the best month of American finau-
c1al history. December began with a
pig1ron output of 236,52S tons weekly,
against 22S,9S5 Nov. l. and with stocks
OF unsold iron undiminished 2S ,958 tons
in November, which indicates a con-
sumption of 1,024,313 tons during the
month. Not only is the output the
greatest ever known, but it has in
creased 221s per cent since 1892, which
developed the greatest monthly record
ever known. Bessemer pig was then
selling for STATS at Pittsburg, but until
the middle of November sold at $10.10
this year. 1t has since risen with enor-
nous demand and sales went to $10.55
Chicago market is also strong, with
sales of 100000 tons, besides $4,000 tons
OF btlletS, which had risen at Pittsburg
with big transactions to SIG. With scar
city of pigiron feared. both east and
west, there is yet no rise whatever in
finished product, although tire demand
is fan beyond all production. Steel
rails are quoted at SIT per ton at the
east, although the Lackawanna COM
pany has taken orders for 100000 tons
at the west, both the Pittsburg and
Chicago works being sold far ahead,
and bids for $4,000 tons for Australia
are to be opened today, While Chicago
has pending a bid for 200,0 600 tons deliv-
cradle in two years in Asiatic Russia.
In other lines the demand for finished
products is of surprising magnitude, es-
pecially in plates and in sheets.
The wooden industry also comes to
the front, with very extensive pur-
chases of wool by large houses and
small, helped by material concessions
! at Boston, so that sales at the three
! chief markets have been 1883, 700
pounds, of which 1850 200 were domes-
tic, against 10, 307, 100 last year. of which
7,443 900 were domestic and 16, 504, 100 in

In speaking Of the mine, Mr. Mayne
stated that he had a force of five men
employed in its development, and that
it was the intention to keep at work all
winter, it being quite possible that in
the spring q mating furnace will be
erected on the ground for the reduction
of the ore, the present outlook indicat-
ing that the property viii in time rank
as one OF the big copper producers of
the state, as already, in its exploration,
a twelve-foOt body OF mineral has been
uncovered which carries uniform and
average values of 20 per cent in this
metal to the ton, while. in several places
on the group faces of ore have been dis
closed in commercial quantities which
will run from &c to fS per cent in cop
per, and, as operations progress in the

The stock transactions for the day
yesterday did not cease after the call
of the exchange. On the contrary, the
brokers and dealers were on the alert
and active during the afternoon and far

OF its lost ground, and sales were re-
ported at S1.25. Golden Eagle was also
on the boom and was in brisk demand
during the afternoon at 10 cents. Joe
Bowers touched 80 cents in the bidding
and was a favorite, while Northern
Light shot up to so cents, and was
strong at this figure at the close of
business. Four Aces was also in de-
mand, the closing quotation being 431A
cents, sales of Daisy being reported at
65 cents, there being a brisk inquiry for

A. NJ. Spooner, one of the old war
horses OF Camp Floyd district, who was
in the city yesterday, is enthusiastic
over the wonderful showing on the west
dip OF this great gold district, and he
makes the prediction that within the
next few years this section win develop
into the big end of the camp.
Mr.. Spooner, who has kept tab on the
progress made by the west dip Tor the
past three years, is especially ]upIlant
over the splendid disclosures made of
late in the Daisy. and he states that
for ten DAYS prior to the 18th inst, the
ASSAYS made from average ore samples
taken from the faces Of the south drifts
on the 90 and 800 levels, in this pros
pect. all showed gold values of 81 and
over to the ton, while on the 18th, the
day before he left the camp Tor SAT-
Lake. the assay from an average sam
pie taken from the breast of mineral
on the 800, south, disclosed values Of
So to the Ton, the drift having been
driven in this direction on the VEN Tor
over 500 feet: while on the 2UO, to the
south for about the same distance, the
face samples assayed $16.5O to the ton
in the yellow stuff, and the indications
are that the further south the ledge is
followed the greater the values are IN
the king of metals.
Everything is progressing favorabiy
at the mine and MILL the company now
being engaged in adding four more
tanks to its mill equipment.
The South Daisy is also looking well,
and the showing as work progresses in
the development OF this property
grows more and more encouraging, as
a 24-foot body of good ore has already
been disclosed in the workings OF this
ground.
Adjoining the South Daisy on the
south is the group of the Snowstorm
company. This property also covers
an extension of the La Cigale, Omaha,
Daisy and South Daisy vein or belt,
and the company, which now has
plenty Of money in its treasury, will
do extensive work this winter in open
ing up the ore measures which assured
~ exist within the boundary lines Of
The group. (. H. Airis of the Mercur
and Mr.. SpOoner are interested in the
Snowstorm and, in order to facilitate
development, a steam hoist was ordered
yesterday of Trent. The plant is to be
on the ground within a week, the
equipment of the works to embrace a
twenty-five-hors engine and a
thirty -horse-p power boiler, the hoist TO
have 2 sinking capacity of LOCO feet.
The property of the West Mercur
company adjoins the Snowstorm on the
south. and the officials of the incor-
poration are satisfied that within the
limits of their holdings they also can
lay claim TO an extension OF this Won
derful ore zone, to demonstrate which
arrangements are being made for the
performance of extensive development
in the veTy near future.
The indications are that the west dip
viii have three or four more mills in
operation during the coming year.

MINING and Real Estate.

That Utah is on the verge of a Won
derful mining boom is admitted by all
who observe and are in touch with con-
ditions as they exist today all over the
state, and that this is no transient ex-
element is testified to by the fact that
this boom is based on many mining
propositions of known merit and value.
In fact, il is believed that this interest
in mining and mining investment is
still in its infancy and that another
six months will witness still greater ac-
tivity in mining affairs in Utah, and it
is also believed that this condition of
affairs, which will draw money by the
barrel to this state for investment and
also entice men of means and ability
to settle in Salt Lake, will also stimu-
late the demand for real estate, and
that thus the mining boom and the real
estate boom will go together, hand in
hand, in Zion, before this section is a
year older.

of the Joe Bowers.
The Joe Bowers company held a di-
rectors' meeting yesterday afternoon,
at which it was decided to develop this
valuable Tintic property in q thorough
and Intelligent manner, it being decided
tC put in a station pump at the 300
foot level. and to go to the 40O as speed
fly as possible; and when this depth is
attained. and drifts run both ways on
the ledge. a steam hoist will be erected
on the property, for the purpose of
sinking a duuble-compartmen working
shaft, the new improvements TO be OF
a permanent character. At this meet
ing the company also purchased the
Tom Jennings claim and sadded it to
the Joe Bowers group, thus giving the
company five claims in this desirable
locality.
The addition of the Jennings to the
holdings Of the association greatly en-
hances the value of the property, as
this ground covers an extension Of the
weil-known Estella vein; and while the
purchase price paid for this claim has
not been made public, it is understood
that the former owner received a
good, round sum for it.

sight in its workings than ever before.
In fact, the company has ore galore,
and so much of it that the contractors,
who are working three shifts in the
operation of the mine, are breaking
down such quantities Of mineral with
one shift that it takes all the time Of
the other two shifts to raise it to the
surface; and that the output Of the
property is quite heavy for a new pro-

already this week the company has

in December OF last year was close to
the largest on record, the returns this
year show a really surprising gain.
While prices have been 8 cents stronger
