SALES WERE $44,2gI.73
The Short week on Change
Was a Good One.
SHARES LITTLE HIGHER
A GOOD WINTERS BUSINESS
LOOKED FOR.

Notwithstanding there were only five
calls on the mining stock exchange
during the past week. 44.291-73 worth
of trading was done, the amount be
ing over $1,000 in excess of the week
previous. The increase was not dt 20
the transfer of a greater number Of
shares. but to the fact that consider
able business was done in the high
priced securities.
DAILY West has been a prime favorite
and numerous transfers have been re
corded at steadily advancing figures.
A week ago seventy-five shares sold at
$22.75, and since then each succeeding
sale has been made at a better figure,
until yesterday $3.50 was paid.
Some business has been done in Con-
solidated Mercur. and the selling price
has ruled at $3.50.
Grand Central has fell off little,
and even in the face of the declaration
of a 10c dividend the stock was quoted
/ lower yesterday than on Friday. Two
weeks ago it sold for $685.. week since
/ at S5.45 and yesterday the price offered
was only $500.
/ Lower Mammoth has strengthened a
little, while Mammoth has continued
/ steadily on the decline, though what
| has caused it is hard to determine.
{ The difficulties between the May
! Day and Yankee having been amicably
adjusted. the shares in both of those
/ companies are hrmer, and the latter

] Rocco Omestake-Neva has ad-
/ vanced during the week about &c a

better than that the announcement

J dies are opened on the 1000 level, an

Daily is in much the same condition.
/ A big strike on the 100 is believed to
be not far off. In fact, Superintendent
! Chambers says it may come at any
time now, the drift west being in most
! promising vein matter. with occasional
I punches of rich ore coming in.
] Bullion Beck is not quite so strong
in the bidding, but holders of the stock
pay little attention to the market. as
no considerable amount of the stock
! could be IOosened up at anything like
! the quoted figures. The Wine in the
MuldOOn ore chute is going down
through remarkably rich ore, and a
raise is to be started tomorrow to make
connections about 500 feet deeper. Bull
lion Beck's future has not looked so
bright in years as it does today. and
I that it will Te-enteF the dividend list
early in the year. is almost certain.
Centennial Eureka has advanced dur
ing the week, but there is absolutely
nothing new either in the condition OF
the mine or the reduction plant problem
to warrant it, fairy tales which are al
most daily being hatched 20 the con-
trary notwithstanding.
