Century Mine
Development.

- HE year has not wrought many
changes In the Park Valley min
ing district situated In the ex-
treme northwestern part Of the
state In Boxelder county outside Of
the Century Gold Mining company no
work has been done towards the de-
velopment Of the region except upon a
small scale The Century has kept the
usual force Of men employed and the
mill has run steadily, but the payment
Of dividends ceased several months
ago when an extensive campaign Of
exploration was undertaken The COM
pany has sought to open territory con-
sldered TO be virgin ground, with the
hope that results will be such that the
coming years production will be larg-
er than ever before
The development OF the Iona has
progressed favorably during the year
and the management contemplates the
instalat ton OF some extensive maohn-
cry early during the coming year.
In the Ashbrook mining district also
IN Boxelder county, development has
progressed In a small way, but no i'm.
portant strikes have been heralded. The
future, however, looks bright for that
section Of the state.

sures have been developed by four
shafts. but the two southerly ones are
untouched except one upon which an
old shaft 100 feet shows the carbon-
atos, and q tunnel to the south SO teet
on the vein has encouraging carbonate
and suphIde showings These south
erly veins are the strongest on the
property and yet are IN virgin territory,
Offering most interesting field for
prospecting aud development. The ores

There is a large tonnage of this ore

OCTOBER SHIPMENTS,
During the month Of October a total
of 81 car loads OF ore were shipped 10
salt Lake smeitcrs, which brought net
returns to the company of about $4,000
This ore came entirely from the Old
Hickory and Harington-Hickory
mines This was done principally as
an experiment, hut the freight and
smelter charges were so high, that II
has been decided TO make no more snip
ments, but TO prepare TO place the COM
panys own shelter I'm operation, which
will probably be done early In the COM
ing year.
The other properties OF the Majestic
hnye been operated. but not so extern
slyely as the ones Just described. They
will receive attention later, however
and give promise Of becoming as great
az the properties more extensively de-
yeloped
The Majestic mines are certain TO be-
come important producers OF copper
and undoubtedly the year 1905 will end
with an enyiable bullion record TO It's
credit.

The extravaganza and incompetency
Of former management came near
'wrecking the Majestic company. and

from ruin displayed by William

and the present president Of the COM

complete and the stockholders who had
put their money into the enterprise
would have lost. The credit Of the COM
plny had become completely destroyed,
but today II Is restored and the treas

having paid on the obligations Of the

A REVIEW or the records Of the

interest and profit to the readers Of the

pected during the year did not begin
to appear until near It's close. There
We're some times, early In the year
when business was very slack. Many
investors have been holding on, watch

important changes In the condition OF
the market. II Is certain that the our.

which the Majestic fell, has made a
good record.
BUSINESS LIGHTER THAN IN 1909
The transactions ON the exchanp,
for the ~ months from Dec. ]. 1903. To
Nov. 30, 1904 were not 30 heavy as the,
We're last year. This may be accounted
for from two causes. The number of
shares transferred was not go great be,
cause the lower priced prospect stocks
were quite Inactive untll some time In
September The high priced invest.
ment stocks were more active, but the
transfers were correspondIngly fewer.
The total value Of the transactions was
considerably less because OF the great
decline In the higher priced stocks, and
also because OF the very low prices
prevailing for the cheaper stocks. MANY
or these stocks which were selling a
year ago for high prices, dropped early
IN the year on account Of numerous as.
sessments and lack OF demand and re-.
manned almost stationary. The accom-
panying table. showing the bid and

some important changes have been
made In the prices OF quite number OF
stocks.
