Several Other Properties on stockton
Side Coming to the Front.
In the old camps of Stockton, Ophir
and Dry Canyon, in Tooele county, the
year has witnessed quite a revival, and
the time is not far distant when ore

them in sucn volume that the old
timers will open their eyes in wonder
ment
Tie magnificent success that has at
tended the efforts of the nervy in
vestors who have so literally thrown
their money into the old HOnerine at
Stockton has had as much and posi-
bly, more to do with bringing hat sec
ton to the front than anything else.
over S250,0G0 has already been sunk in
redeeming that famous old mine, and
nearly, if not quite, 800 900 viii have
been expended by the time it is made
to begin its new dividend career. For
this condition of affairs the state is
indebted to Charles H. Scheu, the
Messrs. Kimberley, Filler, W. F. Sny
der and NJ. II. Walker, who have sue
ceeded in opening Up ore bodies the
extent of which insUres the adding Of
millions of wealth to the state during
the next few years. At present mag

plants are being placed at the proper
ty, while a great triple-compar
shaft is going down fer the purpose
OF providing a permanent outlet for
the ores. That mills and possibly a
sEelteT viii follow is already assured.
The HOneTine cOmpany's splendid
work may be chrOnicled as one Of the
events of the year.
Operated under bond to Captain Dun
can McVichie and Michigan capital,
the Galena King, adjoining the Homer
'ne, is also being rapidly brought to
the front and that a Dig company viii
soon be shaping its destinies is fore
gone conclusion, as splendid ore bodies
are now being systematically devel-
oPed.
The Utah Queen has also been made
a nice producer during the year by
Morris r. Hunt, the cOmpany's eff
ncient manager, while the East Hon
eTlne has been brought to a productive
stage again as well. Numerous other
properties have taken on new life, and
where a year or two ago only an
occasional car OF ore was coming to
market from the old camp, trainlOads
will be daily en- route before the year
closes.
At Ophir the Ophir Hill property,
belonging to Senator W. A, Clark, is
making a magnificent record and to
il can be attributed the cause for so
much activity in that vicinity Many
old and new properties are being
worked and good results are sure >

neighbor, the Montana Consolidated, is
putting down a shaft and the Ophir
vein has already been penetrated. 9th

a most excellent outlook.

again and Uncle Matt Osborn already
begins to scent another fortune. And
so it is going all over that section.

DIXIE MINES COPPER.
Eas Contributed Nearly 100000
Pounds This Year.

Eas Contributed Nearly 100000
Pounds This Year.
The Dixie copper mine, below St.
Geo &c, that several months ago passed
into the Utah & Eastern company, has
just completed its final smciter run for
the wear and a report has been for
varied 10 the eastern offices, showing
what has been accomplished.
During the twelve months 1859, 600
pounds of ore have been extracted and
smelted and LII. 1874 pounds of bullion
and matte were produced. The aver
age percentage Of copper If the ore
treated was 1885 and the receipts from
the sale of ore and bullion amounts to
over $50. O00
During the year developments in the
mine have been pushed to the exclu-
sion of ore extraction, and at no time
in its history has the property had so
much ore blocked out. When il is
known that the net earnings have ex-
ceeded $4,000. the possibilities of the
property when active mining begins
can easily be imagined.
A new hosting plant, capable Of
working 10 a depth IF 1,500 feet, has
Just been ordered and the management
* continuing the work OF sinking
drifting, prosecuting and opening up
new levels with characteristic energy.
That = new smelter viii 60 up during
the coming year is also positively as
sured and il viii not be surprising to
hear at the close Of next year that
the Dixie has contributed 100000 or
100000 pounds Of cooper.
II is destined TO become Ole of the
big mines of the state. Super.ntend-
ent Grant Snyder has closed down the
little smelter pending a better market
for the red metal.

New York, Dec. 2S.-The Financier
says: The traceable movements of
money this week, so far as they af-
fected bank conditions, showed an esti-
mated loss to the banks of only SOS, 200
cash. Among the striking features of
the movement was the steady flow Of
currency TO New Orleans through the
treasury, 100000 having thus been
transferred during the bank week; the
loss to the banks of $2,030,S0 through
the fiscal operations Of the government,
and the gain to the banks on the in
terror movement Of money, which
amounts, deducting transfers, to ST.
735, 800. The receipts Of currency from
the west were fairly large, rejecting
shipments by banks in that section to
take advantage of the high money
rates at this center, and also the be-
ginning of the return flow of currency
which had been sent to the west in re-
Spouse to the early demand arising
from the harvesting Of grain.
Some western funds also doubtless
came here to meet interest and divi-
dend requirements. The gain in specie,
as indicated by the bank returns. was
$3.50, 400. and in legal tenders 81, 230. 900,
making the total increase in cash So
7s9, 400. Loans were augmented by
1894. 800.
The deposits showed a gain Of Sc,
500. which amount was greater by 81
019,90G than the total increase of cash
and of loans; hence the statement In
this respect was out of harmony. Sur
plus reserve indicated a gain of s., 1885,
025, and this item now stands at 1881. =
$50, against S11,525. 800 at the CORE
spending period a year ago. 1t Is
probable that the statement was made
on rising averages for cash, for though
transfers to New Orleans through the
treasury were large at the end of the
bank week, these were more than Off
set by receipts of funds from the in
terror with which to meet drafts for
January disbursements. 1t is expect
ed that by Monday of this week pay
ments viii be made by the assistant
treasurer at New York of about s.. 600. =
GOO for a block of g, 500 900 unmatured
is of 1907, which were bought for de-
livery before the end Of the year. There
is still dUS about 81 SOC, 900 on account
Of the January interest on government
bonds which will be paid during the
current week. Beginning with the new
year banks retiring their circulation
viii forward through the New York
sub-treasury nearly 100000 of lawful
money with which to replace bonds Sc
curing such circulation. These bonds
will then be withdrawn. and most
likely they viii be sold on the mar
ket.
So far as monetary conditions at this
center are concerned, there may be
continued tension until the payments
by banks and trust companies for jan
uary interest and dividends become
large. Then the distribution of this
money should bring about easier rates,
at least for loans at call on the stock
exchange.

WEEK IN MINING STOCKS.
Some Recorded Substantial Gains
While Others Went Down


The lightes- weeks business in many
z long month was that which ended on
the mining exchange yesterday. To be
sure il was a short week, and only one
call was INDUCED in for the majority Of
the time. but with those features still
taken into account, it was Hght-light as
compared with the business done in
Christmas week last year, when call was
suspended for two days and S72,41262
worth of stock was sold. For the five
days of the week just closed III, $50 shares
sold for $50. 990.24, yesterdays Contribu-
ton TO the total being 2l,500 shares and
S9.42T.36.
On the whole prices have ruled steady,
and not few shares in the active list
have made substantial gains. Century.
however. has gone all TO pieces. and TetrO
has been steadily losing ground since it
made connection with the GOdiva's work
ings, due, it is thought, TO the prospect
of litigation between the two companies.
Century has lost caste on reports that
the mine is not in a position to provide
the new mill with sufficient GRE to keep it
running, and the further contention that
the values are not being saved on account
OF lack OF water. Inc management IS
keeping its own counsel regarding the
company's affairs, and the brokers are
doing the rest.
Ajax has registered a net gain during
the week Of about 3 cents share.
Carisa has kept it company, and Cali
fOrnia has maintained its own or a little
better without effort.
Consolidated Mereur has slipped back
about 4 cents a share. and Lower Nam
moth has done likewise. hIay Day has
shot up nearly 10 cents a share and
Uncle sam has been strong and steady
with a cent or two added to its selling
price as compared with this time last
week
Victor has also stiffened up and was
selling yesterday for 4 to cents a share
more than It Old at the close of last week.
