Arrivals from Phoebe, who have been

where two feet of high-grade steel ga

Utah MINE COMPANY
POSTS 2-CENT DIVIDEND

The directors of the Utah Mine COM
pany met yesterday and posted a dividend
Of &c a share. or 5000. for payment next
month The books will close on Feb. s
and payment will be made on the 10Th.
The payment of &c share is a reduction
OF ic from the usual amounts paid BY
the company. but there is good reason
for the reduction
1t vas explained at the eompany's Of
fees after the meeting that the companT
is adding additional territory and that It
was thought better to trim the dividend
for a month or two than to cease al
together or eat into the treasury reserve.
The purchases being made BY the com
pany do not call for extravagant expen-
ditures and the usual dividends will be
coming again early in the spring
During the present month the compan--
has received and made settlement on two
carloads of high grade ore, while another
carload is now en- route from Oasis, with
the teams busy hauling on the third car
load from the mine to Oasis. The prop
erty is said to have never looked better
than it does at the present time. and the
directors have felt that the thing to 10
was to add to the property while yet
the chance to do so at a reasonable cost
was available

STOCK EXCHANGE
ELECTS NEW GOVERNORS

The annual meeting of the salt Lake
Stock & Mining exchange was held yes
terday afternoon, when a board of direc-
tors, consisting Of nine members, was
elected to serve for the ensuing year.
Since the exchange gave Up its charter as
an incorporated body and resolved itself
into a simple association it has pros
pered amazingly and it is now ready to
begin construction of a magnificent home
of its own down in the Newhouse sky
scraper district. Seats have advanced in
value from about $500 to 5000 and there
are none offered al that price.
AS the new rules of the exchange do
not countenance voting by proxy, there
was not as heavy a ballot cast yester-
day for governors as there otherwise
would have been FOrty-five totes we're
cast and the following members were
elected: James A Pollock. W. Fl. Tibbals.

BAMBERGER IS
SHARP IN REPLY
DaIy-WeSt President Charges
UIterior Motives in DAILY
Hanke Bid for Proxies.

Regarding the recent call for proxies
to be used in opposition to the present
management of the Daly-west Mining
company at the annual meeting next
month, ]. z. Bamberger, president Of
the company, Is quoted by the Boston
News Bureau of Tuesday last as fol-
lows:
No consolidation of the Daly-West
with the Ontario company has been or
is under consideration. The Daly-W est
Mining company has paid no dividends
during the past year on account Of the
suspension of operations for a consid-
cradle period. due TO labor difficulties
and low metal prices, and on account OF
the fact that extensive development
was being carried on to open up the
mine in depth. These developments are
expected TO block out within a short
time large bodies of milling ores, and
1t was considered advisable TO keep d
good reserve. as extensive additions to
the milling plant were contemplated.
1T is difficult to comprehend Mr..
Days interest in DAILY West and its
stockholders. as he has not owned a
share Of stock for years, having sold
out his holdings and having advised his
friends to sell shortly before and after
the payment of the first dividend. Since
that time and under the present man
agement upward of s5,00v.000 has been
paid in dividends. Mr.. Daily nov ap-
pears as an owner of stock through
transfer of some stock from Mr.. Hanke
TO him.
Prom the fact that Mr. Hanke is re-
ported TO be the largest owner of stock
Of the Daly-Judge Mining company
which adjoins the DAILY West. and from
the fact that Mr.. Daily has been con-
nected with him in that property, it
may be fair to assume that they are in
terested in the Daly-Judge rather than
