A DEPRESSED MARKET
Mining Stocks Inactive On Both
Exchanges.
AJAX WAS AN EXCEPTION
DAISY VERY WEAK AND SOLD
UNDER SO CENTS.
Sales On the Utah Board Only Fell
S213.12 Behind Those Made On
the Salt Lake Exchange-Golden
Eagle Recorded Fairly Good Sales
Yesterdays Quotations.

If the ball game between the two
exchanges next Saturday creates no
more excitement than the operations on
the Salt Lake board did yesterday, it
will be decidedly tame affair
The business of the exchanges was
about even yesterday. and had the
Utah board sold stock to the amount
of $213.12 more. it would have evened
up things exactly. The afternoon
board did the largest business, how
ever, in the amount of shares sold.
Stocks were generally depressed, and
very few advances were noticeable any
where. Ajax held its own and few
hundred shares went at prevailing
prices. 1t, however, was about as ac-
tive as any security. Northern Light
sold at 70 cents, and 1,500 shares went
for that price. Ingot was fairly live
ly, and 500 shares brought 30 cents and
another similar block went for an adj
vance of half cent. One board lot of
Golden Eagle sold at cents. Golden
Eagle was also an active stock on the
afternoon call, and one block of 5000
shares sold at the same price. while
5000 more brought one-eighth of a cent
less.
Star Consolidated was weak and fell
to 20 cents. Utah Saltpetre was sta
uonary and 5000 shares were knocked
down at half a cent. Daisy suffered
bear attack and sold as low as 80
cents. Joe Bowers was off, too, ard
the best price it could bring was lax
cents. Chloride Point was away off
and 400 shares sold at IS cents
The quotations posted were as fol-
lows:
The quotations posted are as follows:

from California, stop with us few
days. visit the points of attraction
nearby, and, after a few days rest,
return to their eastern homes.
They're highly pleased with our Utah
scenery. and, while they admit that
California is a delightful state, they
also unite in saying that Utah has
much of interest to the tourist and
pleasure-seeker. In order to accom-
modate our increasing tourist travel, we
have given rush orders in the furnish
ing of the seventy-room addition to the
Kenyon. This addition will be in
suites, and will be ready by the 18th of
this month. This will give us 2S2

which travel is heading this way, 1
don't think we shall, even then, have
much room to spare
Chief Clerk Henshaw of the Hotel
Knutsford said: Travel this way is
heavy-much better than at this time
last year. In fact, our part of it is
about twice as large as it was last year.
The eastern trade is large, and there
is also considerable travel from Cali

The Cullen register shows an in
creased number of arrivals. not only
from local points. but also from the
eastern cities, with fair indications Of
an excellent trade ahead
The same prosperous conditions are
at the Walker House and at
the White House. Business is very
good" is the general reply.

Silver City, May 15.-The question of
being able to procure ample skilled
mining labor in the Tintic district has
become serious one As a matter of
fact, the great activity in this locality,
embracing everything from Knights
vile to Diamond, and below. has called
into action every idle man, whatever
his capacity or knowledge of the min
ing industry may be-and. therein lies
the great difficulty and danger. Many
Of the men drifting in come from farms
or from cities, and the great majority
of them have no practical experience in
mining, and some have never set foot
in a mining camp before, yet they
quickly obtain employment. because of
the extremity and requirements of the
situation.
It will be apparent, however, the
amount of damage a raw recruit can
do. not only to himself, but to the COM
pany and working associates. Recently
a series of serious accidents have oc-
