Dclny on a street Sewer.

The delay in taking some action on the
Q street sewer is causing considerable COM
plant from those in the district who intend
making sewer connections this winter. 1t
will be remembered that the council let the
contract to George Dare. Mayor Ensor has
filed a veto, consequently the contract can
not be entered into until the council either
sustains the veto or disapproves of it. Sew
eral attempts have been made to hold a
special meeting for the purpose, but each
time there has been no quorum. This sewer
is to extend from Twentythird street west
on @ to Twenty sixth. A regular meeting
of the council is billed for November 6, but
as this is the night before election it is safe
to predict that there will be no quorum, sc
that there is no telling just when the mat
ter will be disposed of.

The high-priced stocks were wanted,
while the cheap speculation stocks
were not wanted to any great extent,
except Manhattan, which changed
hands to the amount of $1,000 shares.
Observation-Disclosures was wanted and for
a time created active bidding. One
broker had quite a heavy order to fill
and took down no shares at S50.25 a
share. Daily participated at $1.53 and
S1.55.

together 1900 shares changed owner

the bear element took notice of ii and
pounded the stock down several cents.

Daisy held its own and sold at 81
cents. Mercur showed improvement,
but the highest price paid for it was
$500. Dalton & Lark was taken down
at 10 cents, Dexter entered the bid
ding but holders of the stock were not
willing to loosen up at the prevailing

STRIKE IN DEXTER.
Rich Streak Encountered On the
Lower Level.

A happy condition was apparent at
the offices of the Dexter company yes
terGay. The directors all wore smiles,
which were caused by a report received
from the mine that q strike of very
high-grade ore had been made in the
lower workings and at a point where
no one was looking for it. The ore was
encountered in an upraise which had
been started in about six feet on the
250 level. and assays taken from it
showed average values OF SS79.76 to the
ton. The ore carries with il a large
amount of free gold and samples that
were PANIED gave values from $500 to
$500 in free milling gold.
The vein being cross-cut at the $50
level is thought to be about 100 feet
between walls. So far the vein has
been opened up for a width of sixty
feet, all OF which is high-grade milling
ore. The ore in the vein appears to
run in Stratas, some richer than others.
The last streak cut showed a width of
at least six inches 1t is believed this
vein will widen out as the development
progresses and il may take two weeks,
If such is the case, to determine how
extensive the strike really is. It is
figured il viii take that long to reach
the opposite wall. Samples OF the ore
from the iaSt strike We're seen at the
companys office. The rock is literally
filled with gold and is about as pretty
as anything ever exhibited in Salt
Lake
