BUSINESS NOTES.

The week has been one OF the liveliest
In local stocks seen for long time
past, though great part OF the ac-
tivity has been monopolized by the
sugars. The feature has been the de-
clRration Of first dividend by the Ere
mont county directors, which places
that stock on basis with that OF the
Idaho Sugar company and Is under
stood to be n step preliminary to the
amalgamatlon OF the two Another
feature has been the marked advance
IN Utah common referred to elsewhere,
and the demand for stock In the pro-
posed Lewiston factory, which with
not a pick yet struck into the ground
and with the exact location not yet de-
termined, commands premium OF
1925 per share This, OF course, IL
largely due TO the fact that the stock
IS 80 closely held as to be almost OF
the market but II illustrates the favor
with which investors regard Sugars.
Another advance which illustrates the
quantity OF local money seklng invest
ment. and doubtless foreshadows
dividend, ls that IN Consolidated Wag-
on common, which has moved up to N0
Ter share, IS shares having changed
hands ut that rate yesterday. Other
stocks IN the list are m strong demand,
but few transactions took place.
Following are the latest quotations.

Arlz.. has been experimenting with a
machine known as the Hancock jig
The FIRST machine Installed was "a feet
long, about four feet Wide and had six
compartments. II took the place OF
eight other iigs and Is said TO have
operated with one-fourth the amount
OF water and at ne-half the expense
The success Of the machine was 80
apparent that It Was decided TO con-
struct another to replace the yanners
and tables used TO concentrate the
finer product OF the mill. This second
machine has been put into operation
and n takes the place OF rs Frue van
ners ana two Wiley tables.
I'VE thus have mill consisting or
crushing machinery screens one
coarse jlg regrnding machinery and
one fine Zig, treating 500 tons OF ore q
day; or. In other words, two machines
have taken the place Of 40 separate
machines These jigs require but lit
tie room and consume but little water"

BONDS.

COL T. G.. Weber Of q. c. M. l.
remarked this morning, upon the ia
vorable reaction on local business
conditions Of the recen% snowfall which
Is proving a blessing 10 the sheepmen
out on the Tooele desert, and the
pleasant fact that the growers are TO
receive IS cents for their woods. The
colonel also expressed hope that the
report that the Moffat road had been
sold 10 Hartman was unfoun6ed. He
was informed by one Of the Rio Grande
officials that coal had been found on the
MOffat road ~ or is miles from Denver
and that while the surface groupings
did show high grade OF coal, still It
was expected that as the deposits were
uncovered, the quality would improve
This presence Of coal along the line Of
the road. and so near to Denver, Is
considered big thing, as It places the
company at once In an independent po-
sltlon as regards fuel Parties from
down the line of the San Pedro have
told Col Weber that owing to some
heavy cutting and the necessity OF re-
ballastlng, the road Will not be opened
for through traffic until the middle OF
March.

IAN examination Of the

that the average copper contents Of all
Bingham ores treated during the past
is months was less than 2-lO per cent
and that the actual yield I'm copper per
ton Of ore treated has fallen ~ low as
nine pounds, and that the gross y held

An art critic says of Vereschagin's
war pictures: 1.-THE greater number Of
the artists pictures were extremely
poor as art, many Of them rising not
above peep show value. and not few
are utterly insincere. Vereschagin de-
clared publicly that the chief value Of
his pictures was their faithfulness to
scenes witnessed by himself. yet he de-
picted In Blowing From Guns In Brit
ish India respectable Mohammedans
being slaughtered by British soldiers In
uniforms of today. though nothing Of
the kind has occurred since the mu-
tiny. He showed the Entry of the
Prince of Wales into an Indian city
In the blazing sunlight. though the Of
fetal artist who accompanied the king
says that through delay the entry
was accomplished by night. The paint
er himself admitted to me that the pic
ture OF the British soldier left to die
and tester alone in the jungle original
ly represented a Russian soldier but
was altered ON account of the anger Of
the late car"

Somewhat Confusing.

A certain member Of the house Of
lords when travelling In Ireland took a
fancy to handsome Connaught lad
and engaged him rs footman.
"O'Brien," said his lordship to the
new servant one morning, 'see if your
mistress Is at home today"
THAT her ladyship Is, your iordship,"
was the ready reply Of the unsophisti-
Gated youth. Sure. Oh jist saw her
ladyship go into the drawing ROOM"
"You misunderstood me, O'Brien,"
said his lordship stiffiy. go and ask
your mistress IL she Is at home today"
'Sure, now" muttered the puzzled
footman as he obeyed. IF his lordship
amt quare. Why. Oh saw her ladyship
with my own eyes. And now Owe got
to ask her that same. and she's In the
house all the tonne"
Then, thrusting his head into the
drawing room, he asked. Are you at
home. my ladyY

mistress, and the footman retired slow
