sLUMPY WEEK ON CHANGE.
Business Was Rather Heavy, But
Prices Failed to Hold Up.

The week on the mining exchange
witnessed the transfer of sos shares
of stock that sold for 1921 .646.07, with
yesterdays proportion footing up 10
As. 420 shares and SIS, 706.75. The week
has been one of general declines,
though a few of the listed stocks have
fiuctuated somewhat. Carisa, Califor-
nit. Century, May Day and Ajax have
been the chief performers and the pro-
fessional Juggling with Carisa was
the principal diversion.
The records Of the various brokerage
firms show that buying orders from the
investing public, while still very linn
tied, have been more numerous than
for several weeks past and another
month is counted upon to show a much
improved tone in the market.
Ajax has gone down from 529s scents
TO 1875 cents. Notwithstanding all re-
ports from the mine were of most
encouraging nature, and Carisa, which
began at Sc cents, and under the ma
nipulation of a pool shot up TO 6S
cents. collapsed Friday, dropped to 1912
cents. 1t afterwards recovered and
closed the week with sales at 511z. 81
and up to IS cents.
Consolidated Mercur, which sold for
A.67ls on Monday. closed at $3.50, the
failure Of the directors to post the
usual quarterly dividend on Wednes-
day being assigned as the cause. That
the distribution win be ordered on
Friday next, should the directors reas-
semble. is practically assured.
Daly-West has suffered with the rest
and from S29,SO it has slipped back to
$29.25. while Lower Mammoth is cents
lower at 81 fat May Day, in better
shape than ever in its history-with
the practical success of the new mill
demOnstrated-has dropped or cents
a share, closing at "a cents, and Ben
Butler. with the usual tonnage being
extracted and sent to maket, has chung
very close to the Accent mark.
Star Consolidated closed q cents
higher than it opened, after having en-
joyed an advance of or S cents a
share. The closing sale was at q cents.
Uncle Sam has been hammered down
from g. cents to 631s cents. while Vic
tor is cents under Mondays offer,
at IS cents.
California has fallen off full Is cents
a share, closing an active weeks trad
ing close around the 50-cent mark. It's
enlarged mill has gone into commission
and the management promises a good
record of earnings from now on
Century with Decent assessment
and heavy indebtedness staring it in
the face. coupled with the close down
OF It's works and mill, has been in bad
favor all week and yesterday found it
selling from IS to II cents a share. It's
outlook is anything but assuring.
Yankee Consolidated has been al
lowed to decline 50 cents a share 10
50, Notwithstanding the fact that a
$4,000 dividend is coming on the 25th
and that experts of renown claim the
mine has ore blocked out sufficient to
produce sixty to 100 tons of ore daily
for two years.
Among the other active shares de-
elines have been only slight, and in some
few instances they have held steady
around the figures of the week preyi-
Gus. Final quotations and yesterdays
record of sales follows:

DIAMONDS IN MONTANA.
District Near Lewiston Attracting a
Great Deal of Attention.

Helena, Mont. Jan. 1S.-A special to
the Independent from Lewiston, near
the scene of the reported diamond dis
coveries. says that according to Cliff
ford Dec, the discoverer, the fields
cover an area of fifteen miles long and
four miles wide. Dec brought in a large
number of stones, which he found on
hunting trip, on the side of ant hills.
Some of the stones that were examined
and thoroughly tested by a mineralogist
located at Spotted Horse, were pro-
nounced by him sapphires of an ex-
cellent quality, similar to the white
sapphires found in the Congo district,
which are now shipped to London.
Dec insists that Tiffany of New York
rendered an opinion TO the effect that
the stones were diamonds. There is no
confederation of this, and the general
impression is that the discovery is a
sapphire field richer than that of Yogo.
which is the most noted in the United
States.
A telegram was received in Helena
today by Governor S. T. Hauser. from
former Senator Wolcott of Colorado.

A Letter From Camp Dealing Partic-
ularly With the Copper King.
A communication from Park Valley

future of that camp, Notwithstanding

Developments yesterday plainly indi-
cate that the next few days viii wit
ness the transfer Of Captain ]. r. De
Lamar's holdings in the Consolidated
MercUr to syndicate headed by none
other than John Dern, the vice presi-
dent Of the company, backed by some
OF the heaviest operators in this city
and points farther east.
AT noon yesterday Hartwig A. Cohen,
president of the company, and CAPTAIN
De Lamar's personal representa- i've.
boarded train for the coast, with the
Bully Hill mines as his destination
while the evening train for the east
had Vice President Dern as a passen-
ger, with New York as his destination.
Pressed for a statement on the cues
ton during the afternoon. Mr. DeTn
said ii was too early to say what the
outcome Of the conference between
himself and the captain would be-
though he finally acknowledged that
they were not far apart on details
touching me big deal and the fact that
matters have assumed such shape that
Mr.. Cohen could no longer act or talk
for the captain leads to the conclusion
that the transaction now only requires
meeting Of the principals.
Captain De Lamar was apportioned

company when the consolidation oc-
Cured and the presumption is that his
holdings now approximate all of 00.000
and wlile not a breath has been al
lowed to escape those in possession of
the Information. ii is a matter of cur
rent belief that the purchase price
agreed upon is somewhere in the
neighborhood Of 81 a share. or on a
basis of not less than 100000 for the
captains stock
That such a purchase is being nego-
tiated by Mr.. Dern shows how much
he thinks Of the merits of the COM
pany's possessions. Certainly no one is
better able TO judge Of their worth
than he. for he went into the camp and
bought up the old Mercur at a time
when the talent laughed in their sleeves
at the manner in which the Nebraska
farmer had been played for green
horn. He has chung to the proposition
ever since, made an immense fortune
and is now seeking a chance to be
"duped" some more.
The fate of the deal should be known
by the time the dividend is scheduled
