ABUNDANCE OF SILvER-The Scicatfc .4mertcGa
says Two correspondents Of the London Times
state that the recent discovery Of oxyd Of silver in u
natural state, a thing which until recently was be-
lieved not TO exist, will produce a yield Of silver
absolutely enormous in view Of what has hitherto
been obtained from the ordinary metallic silver de-
posTts. In q ton Of ore IN its natural state, where
the normal yield would be 13 ounces, the new discov-
cry will produce an average yield Of Il3 ounces, the
100 ounces being produced from what has hitherto
been regarded as useless. The Importance 10 our
mines, where silver is often found near to copper and
other metals, will be very great; and, i'll some cases,
where the deposit Is great, and unmiXed with other
metals, the returns will be almost fabulous, where
the cost of working will be absolutely triaing."
