THE SILVER QUESTION.

The Commission, appointed by the
last Congress to inquire into the practi-
cability of remonetizing silver, has re-
ported in favor of the double standard.
AS the whole country, outside of the
money centers of the Eastern States,
has demanded the repeal of the Act of
1873, it is now probable that silver will
be restored to its old standard and
silver dollars will be legal tender to
any amount. The House of Repre-
sentatives passed bill for this pur-
pose year ago. but the Senate, which
demonetized silver by an almost unani-
nous vote in 1873. and, as has since
been ascertained, without majority of
the members knowing what they were
doing, refused to remonetize it without
investigation. Now the Commission
entrusted with that duty has unani-
mously reported in favor of the meas
ure. and both political parties in the
great States of the west and south have
declared for it. Therefore the Senate
can have no reasonable excuse for post
poning action on the silver question
much longer. and the passage of bill
making silver equivalent to gold for or
binary business transactions may be ex-
pected before the close of the extra ses-
sion. 1t is time that the people were pro.
tected from the schemes of money
sharks and that silver be given fixed
standard. Only year ago the country
was flooded with trade dollars, which
were placed in circulation at par with
gold by capitalists, who had them
coined on private account at the Carson
and San Francisco minis. When the
demand was supplied and ordinary
silver coins had almost disappeared
from circulation. the capitalists refused
to receive the trade dollars they paid
out at par at less than ten per centum
Discount. The people of California
and Nevada were heavy losers by this
transaction, which will be repeated in
that or some other way SO long as sill
yer coin is merchantable commodity,
as subject to fluctuations as groceries
or grain.

The Orc Elmo mine and works were
sold on Saturday. G. w. Moore was
the purchaser.
Everything looks bright for the
Poorman. Mr.. Baldwin is expected
up next week and will probably start
up the mine at an early day.
There are about thirty men em-
ployed at the Wagontown mines and
mill. Frank Leplie is taking out ore
that will yield $3.50 to the ton. Wilbur
& Ryan are doing we'll at the Crown
Prince. G. and j. Brunzell are getting
cut plenty Of $50 rock from the j. B..
Dodd mine. The Webfoot will start
up soon. The outlook for that camp is
improving
Ben Davis had some rock assayed
from the Sultan recently. and it went
over 5000 to the ton.
Work is progressing favorably at the
Potosi. More slopes will be started
soon. There is considerable quantity
of rock out awaiting crushing. and
some of it will average as high as 800
to the ton.
AT the Black Jack mine everything
wears q fourishing appearance. The
ledge is growing better as the work
progresses. and great hopes are enter
tanned in connection with the future of
Florida Mountain.
