MAMMOTH COMES ALONG
WITH USUAL DIVIDEND

There is one mining company in
Utah that laughs at hard times and the
inability to find a market for it's ore.
That company is the Mammoth, opera
ting at Tintic. While the management
has not seen the color of check from
a smelling company for more than
sixty days, dividends continue to come
monthly, just the same. Yesterday
the directors met and posted the Feb
ruary distribution in the sum of $20,-
900, or 5 cents a share, for payment
on the 25th to stockholders of record
tomorrow, the 18th.
Inquiry at the company's offices de-
veloped the fact that there was abso-
lutely no foundation for the reports to
the effect that the company was max
ing a new contract for the output of
its mines or that it had arranged with
the United States company to ship its
ores to the latter company's smelling
works at Kenneth, Cal.
It was admitted that great deal of
ore was being mined and stored, and
it was also<acknowledged that there
was an accumulation of the high
grade rock, such as that which sold a
few months ago on a basis OF about
$1,000 ton. There WIZ be no ship
ment of this rock until ! car load has
been accumulated aSd 20 one would

BIG STRIKE IN 0'MEARAS'
VALCALDA GOLD MINES

The Valcalda is a winner. There
has been no doubt about it Cor some
time, as far as that goes. but if any
apprehension existed it must certain
ly be removed by the strike made in
the property IA few days ago. says a
Blair, New, dispatch to the Reno Ga
zette.
In a drift started south from the
shaft at depth of 385. feet a body of
ore was cut into at a distance of %
feet. The whole face of the drift,
which is by feet, is in ore which
is free milling oXidized quartz, and
the stuff bubbles up on the plates ito
beat the band" Assays running bet
ter than 5000 have been had. No idea
of the extent of the strike is to be had
as yet, Notwithstanding that five feet
per day for almost a week has been
driven into il, but it is certainly of no
small dimensions, and the owners of
the property have, fortunes for several
people in sight
The strike is important; not alone for
the added value of the property in
which 1t was made, but also a a dem
onstration of the theory held by many
that the groupings west of the Drink
water were indicative of the presence
of as good values as have made the
older property famous. The strike
should, and doubtless will, stimulate
development on the Red Mountain, Iron
Duke, Magee and a score of others on
which but little has been, done up to
the present time.

surprisings to interests in close touch
with the affairs of the corporation. The
attitude of the Guggenheims toward
American SHELTERS has been anything
but optimistic for some time. The gem
eral superstition is that the Guggen-
helm interests have disposed of a large
amount of stock and are making no eff
forts to contribute support.
An interest identified with American
Smelling company practically admit
ted the Guggenhein holdings had been
materially reduced, but he did not be-
lieve that any individual or group
would care to bring about a change in
management. The shrinkage in the Sc
curities has been helped by the pros
pective cut in the common dividend;
heavy falling off in business; threats
of competition and selling of securities
by insiders.
Several weeks ago the announcement
was made that the business had fallen
off so per cent. Since then a mOder-
ate improvement has been reported.
The general belief is that the rate will
not be in excess of half of per cent
for the quarter.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-02-18

This comparison shows that, with the
exception of lead, the rate of prOduc-
ton was about the same for the two
years, when the shutdown period is
taken into account. In 1906 a total of
79,1 1873 tons of ore was mined; in 1907
the amount was 81 1927 tons. The great
er tonnage of last year and the small
er production of metals indicate the
lower grade of ore. This, however, is
slight, and the close comparison of
all of the above figures clearly shows
that the difference in net earnings of
the two years is largely due to the
difference in the price of the metals.
This is again shown in the financial
statements in the great difference in
the returns from ore sales. namely, ST.,
013, 1854 for 1906 and $771,67e.4 for
1907.
AS is generally known, there is only
a small force employed at the prop
erty at the present time, owing to the
low prices of lead and silver, and this
may continue for some little time yet.
Until the Ontario and DAILY mines have
been drained of water the drain tun-
mel cannot be advanced into DAILY
West territory, nor can the company's
shaft be- sunk to greater depth. How
ever, il now seems certain that the
mines named will soon be drained,
when it will be possible for the DAILY
West to get at the huge ore bodies
that are certain to extend for a great
distance below the present workings.

GUGGENHEIMS GET OUT

comes from them pretty soon, opera

that there is really something in it. By
some it is thought that the big smelter-
