At meeting of the directory of the
Grand Central Mining company, hello
at Provo yesterday, the usual monthly
dividend of 12la cents a share was in
creased to 10 cents, or $37, 500, which is
payable on the 10th of this month, the
transfer books of the company to be
closed on the Sth, to be reopened on
the 11th.
This increase in the dividend, The
Herald is informed, was made because
the company is adverse to carrying a
steadily increasing treasury fund, and
il is believed that by June $4,000 reg
ular monthly dividends will be the Or
der of the day with this magnificent
producer, which, during February last,
paid all expenses and really a double
dividend.
With its present inadequate hoisting
facilities, the company is raising about
100 tons of ore daily, and it is stated
that the ore body disclosed in the mine
is so mammoth in its proportions that
after an extraction of 1000 or 5000 tons
Of mineral. the casual observer could
hardly tell that any work had been
done in the mine. In fact, the ledge
is lao feet in width, and has been de-
Veloped to the 500 level, and it is esti-
Iudl6Q lldl IT'S QlNlOeHuS
ed out and in sight for a period of four
years to come.
When the new hoist is completed,
large amount of prospecting will be
done, and the regular tonnage will be
heavier, so that increased dividends can
be easily made.
The hoist, which is all paid for, will
be ready for its trial run within a
month or six weeks. 1t is built almost
entirely Of iron and steel, and, besides
being substantial structure, is Yir-
tually fireproof.
With the payment of this dividend
the company will have distributed the
handsome sum Of $31S,750 among its
shareholders during the short period
that it has been on a paying basis, and
with such a bank to draw on the out
look for the association is illuminated
by the most rosy and brilliant colors.
On Friday of this week the Silver
King will also pay its regular divi-
dend of $4,000. making a grand total of
S,950,000; while on the same day the
Swansea will increase the circulation
medium of the country to the extent Of
$1,000 in velvet money.
On the 18th the Centennial Eureka
viii pay so cents a share, or $3.50 to
shareholders of record, while other
wealth. producers will undoubtedly be
heard from in no uncertain manner be-
fore the ides of March have passed.

Hoist For the Commercial.

From Colonel H. G. Heffron, the all
around mining and mill man, who has
in charge several important mining en-
terDrises, it is learned that an electric
hoist is soon to be installed on the
Commercial at Bingham, the property
of the Bingham Copper & Gold Mining
company. while a boiler is to be put
in to operate the pump, so that sinking
on the ledge need not be interrupted
When water is encountered. The prop
erty, the colonel states, is looking ex-
ceedingly well, and bids fair to develop
into one of the big copper producers of
the Camp.
The colonel also says that the new
hosting. works being erected at the
Shoebridge-Bona in Tirtic district
are nearly ready for operation, the
plant being a fine one and up-to-date
in every respect, the expectation being
that with intelligent DEVELOPMENT this
property will soon again be classed with
the producing mines of the camp.

THE SOUTH SUNBEAM.
Fine Body of Native Copper Exposed
In This Tintic Property.

Hon. Thomas G. Merrill, who arrived
in the city yesterday morning from Tin
tic district, brought in with him some
splendid samples of copper ore from
the strike made in the South Sunbeam
ground Monday evening, the rock and
tale being impregnated through and
through with the red metal in its ma
tive state.
According to Mr. Merrill, the strike
was made Monday evening of this week
in the bottom of the shaft, which has
attained depth of $50 feet, the entire
width of the works being in a body of
mineral such as was exhibited by him
upon his return, and he is sanguine that
from this time on this property will
rank as shipping and paying propo
sition.
Quite number of other prospects
and mines are being worked in the
same locality. and almost every day. al
most at any shot, it is expected fine
bodies of pay mineral will be uncov-
cred, and now that the South Sunbeam
has broken the ice other strikes of
Importance may be looked for almost
daily.

The Afternoon Call.

Northern Light was the feature of
the call of the old exchange yesterday
afternoon, this popular security being
the target at which the bears hurled
their darts, the result being that it
broke quite heavily and fell off from
20 to 62% cents in the bidding, the stock
being an active seller at figures given
below Ajax did some business and so
did Dexter, the latter posting sales at
$3.50, after which a break occurred and
the stock was offered at S2.7S with a
bid of $2.75 recorded. Four Aces was
hardly noticed, a few transfers being
chronicled, while a decided gain in
Grand Central was recorded, sales be-
ing registered at $S.15 and $500, con-
siderable demand in Galena being
noted, Mercur changing hands at $500.
Star Consolidated was firmed and the
stock was traded in at S1.22, Joe Bow

at from 1914 to 161a cents. Martha

Copper From the South.

NJ H. Mix, who is interested in a
promising copper prospect in southern
Utah, is exhibiting some SPLENDID
samples of ore from the property, the.
mineral being red oxide of copper of
high grade, while he also has a small
bar Of copper bullion which was run
from a small piece of ore by means of
g cedar-wood fire. The discovery was
made by Frank Newton a year OF so
ago, while prospecting for gold. The red
metal was not in as much demand then

the End about the first of the month
