The sales of stocks made on the min
ing exchange last week aggregated 81.
100 shares. bringing $62,f4s.S4; an aver
age Of nearly 70 cents a share. On a
whole the market was some better
than the previous week, and the lead
producing stocks had a tendency, to-
wards the close, to recuperate the
losses made since the market price OF
that metal went tumbling.
Ajax marked no change but held up
to half dollar share. anchor was
| in slight demand but no sales were
recorded.
Bullion-Beck maintained the strength
it exhibited a week ago, but little stock
was transferred.
Local holders of Centennial Eureka
were not found on the selling side of
the pit although the stock was active
in the bidding around $24, but none of
it was brought out. Chloride Point
does not seem to be wanted by in
vestors and remains ,unattractiVe.
DAILY West, which sold freely about
SO, a couple of weeks ago, was per-
haps the heaviest sufferer from the lead
slump. The bear crowd took advant-
age of the situation and forced the
stock down to $3.50 during the week,
but yesterday it regained a part of its
losses by transferring above ST a
share. DAILY, also picked up during the
latter part of the week, or since the
announcement was made by Superin-
tendent Chambers that the mine would
soon resume operations again. Dexter
passed through the week sluggish, with
little call for it from any quarter.
Dalton & Lark remained unchanged
until yesterday when it made an ad-
vance of cents a share and more. 1t
leaked out among the brokers that
some important developments are likely
to take place, which means that new
blood is to be infused into the project
and perhaps result In the organization
of another big company to operate in
Bingham, with the Dalton & Lark as
the basis to work from. Dalton, the
Gold Mountain property. is attracting
considerable attention again. The
stock has been trading up to cents a
share.
Eagle & Blue Bell is lower and Grand
Central has made no particular i'm
provement over a week ago, in fact the
stock closed about the same as it did
then.
Lower Mammoth failed to bring forth
any sensations, but Mammoth has
been an active trader around 1925.
Northern Light fiuctuated consider
ably, but settled back to about where
it started out
Ontario sold during the week, but at
low figures. t
Petro did not make up for it's late
losses and closed the week lower.
Star Consolidated offered one of the
most sensational advances of the week,
which was caused by the discovery of
a rich body of ore on the 200-fOOt level
and about seventy feet to the north
of the shaft. The same thing is ex-
pected on the 300 level; so the outlook
for that property is decidedly en-
couraging and gives hope again to
those who have paid more than dol
lar a share for the stock.
For the last two or three days brok-
ers have bid Is cents a share for il
and on the curb it has sold up to 80
cents. A week ago it was sluggish at s
cents. '-.'

enlargement at the present time. Sill
yer King recorded transfers during the
week at about the usual quotations.
