Conditions Favorable at Begin
ming For Better Prices.
STOCKS ARE ATBED ROCK
AND a CHANGE Is CONFIDENTLY
EXPECTED.
Some Reported Strikes That Were
Wrongfully Announced - Causes
Considerable Talk In Mining
Characterization Of Other Secu-
Unsatisfactory Stock Sales.

Last week opened up with little
better tone to the stock market. but
closed with not quite as favorable con-
ditions. But an Improvement is almost
certain to follow soon. Everything
seems to be down to bed rock prices
and it looks as if there was little
chance for any further declines.
Chloride Point made some strides for
ward during the week. Steady orders
for the stock came in from the east,
and because of the unusual demand
for the stock prices advanced a little
over the first week of the year. There
was no local demand for the security.
/ The orders filled came from the outside
I The reported strike in the Joe Bowers
Extension stiffened that stock up a lit
tie at the beginning of the week. but
members of the stock exchange who
visited the mine since last Monday say
there is nothing to the report so ener-
getically circulated from Tintic just
about the time the late assessment was
to be come due
1t is believed by a great many that
the report was sent out for no other
purpose than TO enthuse stockholders
and thus encourage them TO pay up
their assessment. Yankee Consolidated,
Lower Mammoth and a number of
others have had the same report cir
culated about them, with nothing TO
substantiate the publicity given. The
effect was that the stocks sold at sharp
advances for few days, but when the
truth came out declines resulted.
People are losing confidence, and viii
so long as such proceedings are toler-
ated. There is a growing opinion among
those who believe in legitimate stock
transactions that the public should be
protected against such allurements and
some members of the exchange are
strongly in favor of taking such steps.
West Mountain Placer was in better
tone the past week. but little change
was noticed in Ontario. Notwithstanding
the quarterly dividend of 80 cents a
share comes due on the goth inst Mann
moth has Deen weak, caused, no doubt
by the light movements of ore from the
mine since the beginning of the year
The management has reported that il
has been a difficult matter TO keep the
mine going at full blast on account Of
the scarcity of labor. PetTo has been
in fairly good tone. Sacramento has
held uD well, but closed yesterday a
shade lower. Silver King keeps about
stationary. joe Bowers has dropped
down nearly one-half, which is ex-
planned by the fact that the capital
stock of the company has been in
creased to the amount of 1850 shares,
in accordance with the agreement made
by the company with the Burnham es-
tate for a settlement of litigation which
has been pending in the courts for sew
eral months.
The prospective stocks were traded
in some during the week. There is lit
tie change in them, but Bunker Hill
and Ben Butler are lower.
The sales made during the week on
the stock exchange were as follows:

Copper Bullion.

J. X. Treweek, who came down from
Houston. Custer County, Ida, yester-
day, reports that the White Knob
Copper company. for which he has been
working for the past several months,
is making a splendid record with its
smelling plant A fourteen days run
made just prior to Mr.. Treweek's de-
paFture, gave the company twenty-five
tons Of copper bullion. The plant has
two stacks-one Of fifty and the other
of sixty tons capacity and the ore
bodies near the surface are sufficient to
keep it in operation indefinitely.
The mine has been in operation about
two years and a shaft has been put
down 200 feet and a drift run of about
500 feet in the direction of the ledge,
which it is hoped TO cut during the next
ninety days. If the vein proves up at
