The Lead King company has shipped its
first car of high-grade lead ore to Salt

The Steptoe Valley smelter is being

DRAINAGE PROGRESS
AT THE ONTARIO MINE

At the Ontario mine, Park City, con-
nection has finally been made with No.
shaft on the ,010-foot level. and Nan
ager Ernest Bamberger, who returned
from a several days trip to camp Fri
day night. stated that 20-inch pipe was
being lowered into the shaft for the pur-
nose of controlling the water, when he
left 1t has been necessary to work
through seventy feet of badly caved
ground on the 1000 level to make this con-
nection. When the pipe is in from the
level mentioned 10 the LOO or drain tun-
mel level and the water already tumbling
down this shaft is controlled, IL is the
intention TO begin tanking in the No. 3
shaft and send the water down from
the 1.600-foot level drift TO No. 2
Manager Bamberger states that the wa
ter is now q little above the l1G0-foot
level in No. 8 and, on account OF the
regular spring flow Of surface water, the
gauge in the shaft shows that a percep-
tible gain is being made in the amount of
water in the shaft. If it is found prac-
ticable to lower the water in No. 2 by
tanking, the work will be continued in
order to relieve the pressure on the 1,500
and thus make the work OF opening the
mine at that depth all the safer.
In the meantime it is likely that the
diamond drill will be brought into play
again on the 1.500 and some of the drifts
between No. and No. shafts will be

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
Dull Week Closes With Market in a
Languid Condition.

During the week on the mining ex-
change a total of 267 ,S31 shares of stock,
with selling value of s175,010.52, changed
hands. yesterdays proportion of the to-
tails being 1886 shares and SIS, 50. The
week has been a dull and uninteresting
one from the start. A spark of life now
and then was kindled, but the at
mosphere was too heavy to permit of
more than a duh glow and the embers
we're soon smoldering as before. A week
ago it looked as though there might be a
lively summer seasons business, but the
appearance of things is just the reverse
of that today. II this market improves,
allow local patrons of copper stocks an
opportunity to cash in. If that happens
there will be something doing here, for
the mines all Justify a humming market.
Following is the list of final quotations
and record of sales made during yester-
days single regular and open board calls:
