Yesterday was the banner day of the
week in the volume of sales made on
the stock exchange. The total shares
exchanged was 23,310. bringing $16,-
1881.
Daly-West led cut strong and was
landed on the start at S16.55. This
was followed by a drop to $16.4315, but
at the close the stock rallied again and
was taken at $1645. ending with $16.43
bid and $16.52 asked. Eagle & Blue
Bell was a little stronger, and North
ern Light advanced at least a cent a
share over Fridays quotations. Lower
Mammoth made the big gains of the
day. 1t opened higher and was in ac-
tive demand at the start at SO cents.
As the call went on the buyers weak
ened a few points. Since the report
was sent out from the mine that some
high grade horn silver ore had been
found the stock has had a stronger
tendency and buyers have been quite
eager for it. Grand Central was in
better tone and Sunbeam was forced
farther down the tObOggan under
weight of the 10-cent assessment.
West Mountain Placer held its own
and was fairly active. Golden Eagle
started OFF in good order, but could not
hold out. Yankee Consolidated was
weak and unsteady.

Daly-WeSt Stock.
NO FRICTION EXISTS
MR.. BAMBERGER NOT SELLING
HIS STOCK.
Typewriter Kept Busy Sending Out
Unsigned Letters Concerning
Daly-West Affairs-Shutdown of
the Sunbeam-Directors Make a
( Statement Strike in Mayfower.

For several days past all sorts of
yarns concerning the Daly-West prop
erty and its management have been in
circulation, and from recent develop
rnents, it looks as though a systematic
effort on the part of some one was be-
ing made to bear the stock by dlscred-
ating the management, telling OF pOOllng
arrangements, selling by insiders and
other schemes.
About a week ago some one, afraid
of his name, sent a letter to The Herald
inqUiring: Are you aware that serl-
Gus friction and discOrd have arisen
among the principal stockholders OIL the
Daily West now in cOntTOl?"
a day or two later story gained
currency that some of the heaviest
stockholders had formed pool OF their
holdings for the purpose of running the
mine to suit themselves.
Yesterday word reached Park City
that a brokerage firm here was selling
stock belonging to insiders ana one OF
last nights arrivals from the camp
was out investigating the rumor Tor
the enlightenment of Park City invest
ors. He learned that a well known
brokerage firm had received an anOny-
nous letter, which evidently emanated
from the same source as that received
by The Herald, as it was worded in the
same style. 1t read: Are you aware
that J. E. Bamberger is selling his
Daly-West stock?"
Such methods can hardly be expected
to accomplish anything, but they have
been so Systematically persisted in that
1t was thought best to make few in
quiries.
President Chambers was asked re-
garding the serious friction yarn and
ne unhesitatingly declared that it was
untrue. Vice President and General
Manager J. z. Bamberger was queS-
toned on the pooling story and his
reply covered not only that question,
but the yarn concerning his selling
stock, as well. He said:
There is no pooling arrangement be
tween Daly-West stockholders that 1
know of. The principal stockholders of
the company hold their stock as an in-
vestment; that is what they bought it
for and il is not necessary that any
pooling arrangement should be entered
into. l am neither buying nor selling
stock myself and the efforts being made
to manipulate the market do not in
terest me in the least. / have people
running in here every day with some
yarn or another, but all that is said
goes in at one ear and out at the
other"
No one at all acquainted with the
Daly-West mine or its management
Will place any credence in the wild-eyed
yarns that are daily being cOncOcted to
effect the price of stock in that cor
poration and while a few hundred
shares now and then change hands
they go at steadily increasing prices;
but if the market was broken down to
the price the stock commanded before

ton that will hardly occur during the

remain that the name is there and that

work to Be Pushed on Big Cotton
wood Property.

Secretary Frank A. Bird of the Cop
per King Mining company, after two
or three days in the city, returns to
the Park this morning. His company,
which owns a most promising copper
property below Brighton, in Big Cot
tonwoOd canyon, is making active
preparations to resume work on the
LIST of the coming month. A whim is
TO be installed and the incline, which
is now down nearly 100 feet, is to be
sunk with the expectation of finding
the ledge in place and converting the
proposition into a paying one.
Much good cOpper-gold ore has al
ready been shipped from the Copper
King, but with all the several hundred
feet of work performed the contact has
not yet been struck, and the manage
ment is confident that when il is
reached they will have big mine. The
recent assessment has all been paid in,
or nearly so, and company is now
in shape to make , God start.

SUNBEAM SHUT DOWN.
Directors Decide Mine Will Not Pay
Above Water Level.

Above Water Level
The board of directors of the Sun
beam Mining company issued a state
nent yesterday, setting forth in detail
the reason for the closing down of the
mine, which was mentioned exclusive
~ in yesterdays Herald. The report
shows that the mine has run behind
for the past three months, and al
though every effort was put forth to
make it pay out, the conclusion was
reached that there is no hope of get
ting pay ore bodies above the water
level. While some first-class ore could
be found above the water line, il is not
in quantities that would justify more
prospecting. The directors maintain
that a big producing mine above water
has never been expected, but the con-
fidence is expressed that it can be made
a large contributor by going to the
deep and tapping the richer ore bodies.
In the early part of last November
IT was thought the mine would be self
sustaining, but the ore bodies proved
TO be too small, and the debt against
the mine gradually increased. So I'M
til the outstanding obligations are paid
up the property will remain closed.
Manager Buckbee was instructed to
ship the ore that had been broken and
place a Waterman in charge. He left
for the mine last night to carry out
that work. On account of other mat
terS needing his attention, Mr.. Buckbee
resigned as director and manager, to
take effect April l. The remaining di-
rectors rendered Mr.. Buckbee a note
of thanks for his past services without
naming his successor.

People hesitate at the statement that

much nourishment from one pound as
can be absorbed by the system from ten
pounds Of meat, bread, wheat or OATS.
Ten pounds of meat might contain

Owners of Woodlawn Figuring on
Concentrating Plant


The owners of the WoodlaWn grOl1D
Of claims in Big Cottonwood canyon
are making preparations for a big sea-
sons work, and it is possible that
concentrating mill will be erected to
treat the immense bodies of zinc-Iead
ores now exposed in the workings. The
property is located but short distance
from Brighton, and the ground has
been we'll opened through a tunnel.
The ore is said to carry all of 40 per
cent zinc, with good values in lead, and
MesSrS. Lawrence and Dinwoodey who
control the proposition, are now laying
their plans for the future.
Aside from the big zinc-lead vein. a
copper ledge is also exposed in the
ground, and it is more than likely that
steps will be taken to open that also
this year.
1t is only during the past year or so
that ii has been possible TO handle
zinc ores in Utah at a profit, but the
market is now such that with the right
kind Of equipment such ores as those
developed in the WOodlawn may be
made to yield handsome returns.

Alleged That Salt Laker Is Buying

URGED TO PAY UP.
Golden Eagle Directors Issue Circu-

A circular letter was yesterday mailed
to the stockholders of the Golden Eagle
Mining company who are still delin-
quent on account of the 1-cent assess

sued and signed by the new board of
directors, and calls attention to the
fact that the company has an option

forfeited unless a payment is made by
the 2Sth of this month. The opinion is
expressed that it viii be for the good

secure the mill and commence the
treatment of ore with as little delay as
possible.
The new management is showing
commendable energy in its efforts to
