MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
Week Closes on Good Volume Of
Business Despite Weakness.

Trading on the mining exchange during
the week was lively for the most part
though there has been a gradually de-
clining tendency In most of the favorite
stocks. Those that have weathered the
choppy waves have been generally well
supported stocks. Every suspicion of the
withdrawal of support has been followed
by more or less successful bear raid
and the close finds nearly everything
around the low prices of the week. Shorts
have done considerable covering at good
profit and there was sentiment yester-
day that professional traders would not
be much inclined to further depress the
market Color ADDS statement covering
the month Of July shows a treasury re-
serve of approximately $50 while the
day the statement was issued the divi-
dend of $4,000 was posted for payment
on the 18th. There is no question, how
ever. but that there was or is enough
ore in transit upon which settlement has
not yet been made to more than meet
dividend requirements. The stock has
been gradually declining in price. just the
same, and 1t has influenced other stocks.
During the week a total of 394.0l7
shares of stock, with selling value of
s297. 607.27. changed hands. yesterdays pro-
portion of the totals being 64.S26 shares
and S47.4 40. Following is the list of fl

or Is cents a share. Transfer books will
close on the Goth and payment will follow
on Oct. l.
This action on the part of the Silver
King Coalition IS IN line with what Cen
eral Manager Thomas Kearns said would
be DONE upon his return from the east a
few weeks ago. The formal action of the
directors has been delayed week because
OF the fact that quorum of the board
was not In the city.
The mines of the company are now CIV
ing a good account of themselves. and a
large tonnage OF high grade crude ore
and concentrates are finding their way
regularly to market. Before the holidays
last year the company trimmed its forces
materially and made no effort to market
ore. The force employed was kept al
most exclusively on development work
and the blocking out of new ore bodies
At the present time the force employed is
nearly what II was before the panic, the
payrolls covering about $50 men.
The market for silver and lead is not as
good as the managem ent would like to see

company's check for 800, the price of adj

nation that the company is capitalized
for 100000 shares, pare0c. OF the 445. OOt
shares of treasury stock, 5000 shares
have been Sold leaving still in the treas
ury $4,000 shares. The company owns

silver and gold, from $40 to $S7 a ton with
two carloads on the dumps ready to ship.
Ore was shipped from some of the
claims now belonging to the company all
of fifteen years ago. but the statement
recites that the work on the properties
at the present time is not in such shape
as to permit of making a statement re-

is considerable That the application will
