The week just closed mas been an
other very quiet one in the mining
share market, the only favorable fea-
ture being a limited amount of buying
for investment account The exceed
ingly warm weather has had the effect
Of producing inertia in all lines of bus
mess and mining has been no exception.
AS compared with the previous week,
the number Of shares traded in was
greatly in excess, though the amount
involved was considerably less, the low
er priced stocks generally holding sway.
The total number of shares sold was
1858, representing a value of $20.510.61.
There was little net change in Daily
West or any of the more prominent in
vestment stocks, with the exception Of
Mammoth, which suffered a slight de-
cline under what is looked upon as pro-
fessional manipulation. Early in the
week dividend of cents a share was
declared, made payable on July End.
Some little activity was manifested in
Mercur and prices ranged trifie lower

of the stockholders being to hold on till

At the annual meeting of the Swansea

Mayor Thompson sprung no surprise
yesterday when he filed with the city

adopting a resolution allowing the
health commissioner to employ addi-

month. A bare quorum of the council
was present when the resolution was
adopted and only seven Of the eight
members voted for it. The only thing
then that could be done was to send
the resolution to the mayor for his
action, but the intention was to re-

LAST DAY TO COMPLAIN.
Equalization Board Completed the
Task of Hearing COMPLAINTS.

EQ udA1LdIlOn DOaIU OOup1eC6u Tie
Task of Hearing Complaints.
When the session of the county board
of equalization closed yesterday after
noon the commissioners heaved a sigh
of relief. The close of the day marked
the end of three weeks of hard work
trying to adjust values Of taxable
property to the satisfaction Of COM
planning property owners. Several
complaints that have been taken under
advisement will be considered on Mon
day and the decisions reached will then
be announced. but it is not probable
that any more reductions in assessed
values will be made. at least not enough
to change the result in the aggregate.
To date the reductions in valuations
have reached a sum of 81 in excess of
$3.50, 900, and the complaints adjusted
number 426.
For the purpose Of correcting an
error, the value of the personal prop
erty assessed to Carlson & Burch was
yesterday reduced from 81, 800 to $500,
and for a like reason the value of s.. 230
assessed to the Quincy Cab company
was cut to $500. Other cuts in valuing
personal property were made as fol-
lows: z. S. Barnett, from $400 to $780,
c. J. Gustaveson, from $500 to $780,
James Loofbourow, from $3.50 to S75
F. E Harding, from 5000 to $3.50; Charles
Rundberg, total abatement of S35: John
Clayton, total abatement of $25; Eunice
McRae, from $50 to SIS; J. R. Hitler,
from S25 to $40; Eliza G. c. Hair, total
abatement of SIS; Maggie F. Bassett,
from SIS to $50
The largest reduction in the value of
improvements made was to Aaron
Keyser, whose assessment was fixed at
$1,000 instead of 81, 200. Other reductions
of this class were as follows: John
Coulam, from 81, 900 to 500; F. E. Hard
ing, from $500 to- $500; S. A Whitney,
from $3.50 to $500; Pauline Bohe, from
$500 to $500; Frank Heinz, Hannah D.
Hampton, Jane T. Piper and Betsy
Whitaker, each $50.
Cancelled mortgages were stricken
from the rolls in the following cases:
Parker & Depue, $3.50; Isaac Woolf, $500;
A. E. Pratt, $500: Henry George, $3.50;
Garrett COpps, $50.
These corrections in the scale of real
estate assessments were made: Robert
Breunsbach, from s2105 to $1,740:
Sarah A. Patten, from $3.50 to 81, $50 !;
Pauline Gunderson, from $500 to 1920.

WANTS TO START THE DAISY.
Receiver Moon Reports That He Can
Make it Paw Out in Six Months


Receiver A. T. Moon of the Daisy
company, appointed on May 10 on appli-
cation of stockholders, filed a report in
the Third district court at Tooele yes
terday, in which he claims that if al
lowed 10 start the mine and mill he
can pay off the cOmpanys indebtedness
in six months and place the property on
a dividend-paying basis in nine months.
In his report Mr.. Moon stated that he
had laboratory tests made on the ores
by the Buffers company, and in addi-
ton had made a thorough mill run fest
at the Geyser- Marion The result of
these tests showed that he could earn
enough to net the company from Sc OOC
TO $4,000 per month On that basis he
could turn the property over to the
stockholders at the end OF a half Gear
free Of indebtedness.
On g conservative estimate he figured
that the mine had III sight sufficient
ore OF the same quality as that reduced
by the Mercur company to run the
Daisy mill eight months, and on that
showing he asked the court for an or
der allowing him to start, as he be-
Iieved by that plan and that only he

be allowed to revert to the original
owners, developments not proving the
ground TO be up to the satisfaction of
the intending purchasers.
Jerry COGney, the well-known Butte
MINER under whose experienced direc-
ton the mine was opened, stated yes
terday that operations ceased on
" Wednesday Lass and the force was dis
charged. Besides the 250-fOOt shaft
which was put down, something like
150O feet of drifting, tunneIing, up
raising and prosecuting was done, and
the conclusion was finally reached that
the values found on top did not go
down The vein in the Homestake,
Mr.. CooDey says, is separate and dis
unct from that found in the Horse
shoe, and conditions prevailing in the
latter are exactly the reverse of those
found in the former.
In the Horseshoe surface values were
light, but an improvement was noted
with every foot of depth attained. and
while an immense sum has been ex-
pended 10 learn the value of the
HOmestake, the gentlemen holding the
bond are not complaining for the
losses there sustained have been fully
made up in the splendid showing de-
velOped in the Horseshoe.
The Homstake group consists of
seven claims, ana at the time it was
secured under bond, an initial pay
ment of $4,000 was made. The bono
has some six months to run vet, but it
is not thought that the intending pur-
chaserS Will exercise their right to hold

the claims is distributed among quite
