MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
Sioux Consolidated Performed in a
Sensational Manner.

There was nothing 10 the proceedings on
change yesterday but Sioux Consolidat-
ed. 1t closed on Wednesday with sales
at 2512c to 26c and was started yesterday
morning at Sic. From that it was adj
Yanced TO 40c, while the close found IL SELL
ing at 3Sc. The widest kind of scene at
tended the dealing in this stock, scenes
that have rarely been witnessed on this
exchange. And the funny feature of it all
was that no one seemed to have reliable
information on what had caused the great
demand for the stock. Orders came from
Tintic and Provo in prOfusion and before
the morning call in the stock had ad
Vanced far the exchange room was crowd
ed. During the day nearly 1900 shares of
the stock changed hands. 1t is contend
ed that the Colorado fissure has been cut
in Sioux ground and that it carries the
same rich ore.
During the two regular and open board
calls a total of 1Sl 100 shares of stock,
with a selling value of $6S,5Sl.25, changed
hands
Following is the list of final quotations
and record of sales made:

BEAVER COUNTY MINES
LOOK GOOD TO MORRISON

L. n. Morrison is back from a trip to
Beaver county, where he is understood
to be negotiating for a property that can
easily be added TO the shipping lists. and
which has all the earmarks of making a
big mine. Mr.. Morrison stated yesterday
that he was not yet in a position TO
discuss the matter, but he. expected some
thing to be doing soon.
IN tell you one thing" said Mr.. Nor
riSon, and that is that the Moscow COM
pany's property looks to me as though il
was going TO make another Horn Silver
-Four or five carloads of the finest kind
of ore are being shipped from the prop
erty now and there appears to be
world OF il in the mine. 1t is attract
ing more attention in the southern coun-
try now than possibly any mine in Beaver
county. 1t is opened only 10 a depth
of 900 feet at the present time, but il is
the judgment of everybody that the shaft
ought to be sunk TO the 1,O0o-foOt level
at once and the mine thoroughly opened
on levels 100 feet apart all the way down.
l don't know what the management in
tends 10 do. but il certainly looks TO me
tint such campaign would be fully JUS
titled.
Il saw the Hecla company's property
the other day. also, and let me say that
IL is one of the best looking prospects l
have peeked into for a long time. There
has been a disposition here to treat the
developments in this company's property
lightly. 1t will be realized by and by
that the Hecla Is mine of no mean
proportions"
While he is largely interested in the
Indian Queen. near Newhouse. Mr.. Morri-
son said the property's management was
in other hands and he did not feel like
butting in with information concerning il.
He did say, however, that the work of
pushing the new tunnel was progressing
splendidly and with entirely satisfactory
results. as related 10 the character of the
ground being passed through. Beaver
county. Mr.. Morrison declares. is just be
ginning to come into its own. and he pre-
diets great things in a mining way for
the coming year or two.

Ice Harvesting.

Every year the use of ice increases.
1t IS not merely luxury, but becomes
necessity as soon as its value is
known by experience. Ice in the dairy
is almost indispensable for holding
milk and cream at proper tempera-
ture
Ice should be cut with a saw into
blocks of regular size, so that they win
pack solidly into the ice house without
leaving spaces between them. A regu-
lar cross-cut saw with one handle re-
moved win answer the purpose.
