Pandemonium Reigns In the Pit
During the Usual Morning Call.

Dur1ng the Usual Morning Call.
To those in need of little excite
ment, and who have taste for active
and red-hot business transactions, a
visit to the daily call Of the mining
exchange would surely act as tonic,
one visit being all that would be neces-
Sdry to diSpel that tired feeling
AS matter of fact, Salt Lake is get
ting to be the greatest mining share
market in this western country, and
gradually the volume of business is
rolling up, and to such an extent that
IT will not be long before the daily call
will occupy fully two hours.
During yesterdays session of the ex-
change, pandemonium reigned the
greatest portion of the time, several
securities making such rapid advances
that the brokers and their clients went
fairly wild, the result being big day
in the way of sales.
Centennial-Eureka opened the ball
with an advance of SO a share over the
quotation of the previous day, board
lot of % shares changing hands at
S41.50, and a still further advance is
looked for. Galena was a favorite and
posted transfers at 81 and 621k cents,
While Mammoth was not at all slow
Lower Mammoth engaging in the
transactions of the day and making
caused the greatest furore, although it
started out in a most mild-mannered
way, the opening sale being at "a cents;
from which quotation, amid the great
est excitement imaginable, it chron-
lcied steady gains until sales were re-
corded at SO cents. Joe Bowers sagged
off little after the opening sales, al
though it was able to register gains,
as compared with the dealings of the
n 10
dealer at So cents. South Swansea
changed hands at $1.271k, while Valeo
was weak and slumpy. Golden Eagle
played a star engagement for awhile
and was favorite, although at declin-
ing ngures. WachuSett made a trans
fer at IL cents, Bullion-Beck Tunnel
was a dealer and Dexter was traded
in at $40, all the stock offered at this
figure being picked up. Hercules, of
Lion hill, scored gains, while Tetro and
Dalton INDUCED in some trading
