I 1 The Market and The Mines I1 Anyone having any information concerning i ' the Carisa Mining company will confer a great ; favor and relieve a sad case of distress by com ; . municating the same to the Salt Lake mining ex i change. After the riso and decline of last week i folks took it for granted that the excitement in I this share was over and ceased to concern them I solves over the cause of the effervescence. It I was, therefore, a shock to the public when Ca ll risa began a second ascension without an appar- ent cause. But there is a reason. It is known 'A to a small circle on brokers' row mysterious, I close-mouthed individuals, bowed down under the ,1 weight of their dark secret. They and their I clients are behind the puzzling buying movement I Mn Carisa, and are suspected of putting a few 1 simoleons into Iron Blossom. The simultaneous I demand for these two shares gives cofor to the 1 rumor that their destiny is to be bound up to- gethor. Perhaps the story that Sioux Con., Ca- risa and Tron Blossom are to consolidate is not altogether a campaign falsehood. Nevertheless, it takes the combined credulity of two men to believe it. Whatever the secret of Carisa may J be, the solution of the mystery is likely to come f. from New York. There is a keener interest and '$ more lively anticipation in Gotham than is shown i here. A deal! New interosts behind the com B y i pany! The merging of several claims, perhaps! B j m , Such developments are more likely to come out !f: as explanations of Carisa's ..ictivity than a report fl k I of new ore bodies or bonanza veins. But why I I fj guess? Why speculate? Here it is midweek and I the day of publication may see the late secret B St neatly embalmed and laid out where friends, rela-" B 1 SI tives and strangers may gaze their fill upon it. H II if I Such secrets are always given away, because the.. B ' j 1 SJ I are either too good to keep or not worth keeping. B 'II v,'C j: B 'rl' 1 The dividends this month have been very B jjij good what there were of them; but we could )B ' f! I have endured some more without overloading our B 1 f J pocketbooks. Sioux Con. came through with its B 'raf ji initial declaration, 3 cents a share, and Uncle B p Sam announced the usual monthly award of 5 B l-j sl cents. Colorado, however, failed to pay even j the 0-cont dividend that was expected, and de- ' I clared nothing at all, and the May Day directors j I were so busy that they forgot the trivial item of h 1 1 J 1-2 cents a share that stockholders have learned B ' f I I to look for forgot even to attend the monthly H n I meeting and allowed it to be adjourned for want H '''J of a Quorum, Absent mindedness is a grave de- H 1 feet in directors. Common shareholders hardly H H 1- ever suffer from it when dividends are due. B )' J 'I Things are getting interesting along the west B i j I i zone of the Tintic district. The Centennial-Eu- H , I reka is doing its part by striking out for a deeper B ' i I level. The shaft, which is now 2,000 feet deep, B ',) I will be put down another 500 by the contractors B ji on the job. Of equal or greater interest are the B ' ' preparations of the King William company to B fl i open the big channel of ore in the" unexplored B ljjj I ' ground between the centennial-Eureka and the B h Grand Central. The King William is not wasting B '' ; !,l any time. To save the months that would be B J I . lost in sinking to suitable depth, it has made an B 'U . 1 ' arrangement wiMi the Eagle and Blue Bell com- B A pany by which the latter is to push the drift on B 41 J Its 1900'foot lovol through the King William B ", I M claims to the line where the classic ledge of West B M 'm Tintic sliould be encountered. It is estimated B ji jB that GOO feet of work will bo sufficient to estab- iB !p il m lish the connection and create a new sehsation in !j li mining circles. H itf'f B i i s v ? w B I'sji I The Tintic district is running exceptionally B ,j 1 1 high in caves. A cave is a hollow place filled B W I chiefly with air. Just why a cavity filled with B " I; B & unit . ... Mj- air should be considered a valuable mining asset is not clear to the lay mind, but the talent under stands all the whys and wherefores, and raises its bids accordingly. The Sioux Con.' found a ' cave full of exceptionally fine atmosphere a week or two ago and the Black Jack has lately become the proud possessor of a cavern 300 feet long. Its other dimensions are not given. One of the virtues of these caves is that their walls, floors and roofs disclose ore readily accessible to the picks of the mine , They are still more valuable, however, because tjhey constitute natural sta tions from which the earthen contents have been removed without expense to the companies. In the Tintic district there is a theory perhaps only a superstition that a cave is an indication of plentiful ore deposits. ? w W President Tony Jacobson expresses profound satisfaction at the appearance of things on the 500 level of the South Columbus at Alta, where drifting is now in progress. President Jacobson Is the original optimist. Ho is always profound ly satisfied if not contentedly enthusiastic. The drift on the 500 level of the South Columbus is in very low-grade ore, but it might be in ordinary country rock; so why should we not be cheerful about it? The mine Is working again, and when work is prosecuted in such good territory as that owned by the South Columbus, success is a mat ter only of time and perseverance. W fcj v It is worth knowing and writing in red letters that the Red Warrior mine in the Star district, Beaver county, has tapped its richly productive ore shoot on the second or 2G0 level, thus dem onstrating beyond doubt that the values not confined to the surface and that there is a hun dred and more feet of stoping ground from which shipments can be maintained. In other parts of Beaver county at the Cactus, King David, Beav er Carbonate and the Harrington-Hickory of the Majestic company, operations are being carried on with very satisfactory results. GOLF By A. W. C. Miss Margaret Miller won the finals of the play for the women's handicap cup Wednesday against Mrs. Jack Taylor, and thus comes into possession of hat pretty trophy, on which will be inscribed the names of the winners during th-e season now drawing to a close. These are, besides Miss Miller, Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Union Worthington and Mrs. Leslie Savage. In the first round of match play lor perma nent possession of the cup, Miss Miller defeat ed Mrs. Worthington, 3 up and 2 to play, and Mrs. Taylor won from Mrs. Savage, 2 up, 1 to play. Mrs. Savage was up at the turn of the eighteen-hole match, but lost her advantage near the end of the match. The finals Wednesday Avere played in a fierce windstorm and the scores were far above those usually made) by Miss1 -Mil-' ler of Mrs. Taylor. The season has brought forward at least three players among the women enthusiasts who with something besides spasmodic practice will develop into unusually good players. They are Genevieve McCornick, Mrs. Savage and Mrs. Martin. Will those three please stand up and listen while spme one reads them a lecture on the necessity of prac tice, especially on the shots on which they are weakest, and the added pleasure that comes 'from conqueiing a certain pesky club so that it will mind?
