The past week has gone without any
sensations in the mining stock market.
There has been little improvement
noted in any quarter. while several
stocks suffered unpleasant reverses.
Daisy was the most notable of the lat
ter, and the general public has con-
cluded that the mine will have a hard
time of it if it ever gets in the condi-
ton 10 command confidence. The sit
uation is indeed discouraging for Daisy.
The Overland has been off the local
market Tor months, but changes are to
be made at this gold property again
that may make the stock one of the
most popular on the market A large
majority Of the stock is held east. but
the amount left in the hands Of local
holders IS not small The company has
decided to issue bonds to the amount
OF $4,000 to raise money to enlarge
the capacity of the mill and odd other
improvements. With the Overland
coming TO the front again it is believed
other Mercur stocks viii pick up, and
that they Will become popular with in
vestors again. Plans are being made
tc push work more vigorously at the
Chloride Point, and if II can be made
a big success at all, it viii be done
this year
Mills & Blanchard of Boston are
giving the mine substantial support,
and they are determined to make
change in conditions there. Mercur was
little stronger last week. and an at
tempt was made to strengthen North

success.
