THE PRICE OF SILVER.
Not Likely to Be Affected by Recent
Discoveries.

Not Likely to Be Affected by Recent
Discoveries.
The price OF silver Is not likely 10 be af-
fected by the recent discoveries in Southern
California and Australia, il local experts
are to be believed. These experts have gem
orally been on the right side, and there is
no reason to cast discredit on their expe-
rience.
"The fact that silver has been discovered
in exceptionally rich ore proves nothing"

cry in Los Angeles County will have to be

wild over a find of ore. but it takes more
than rich specimens to make a mine. To
have valuable mine two things are neces-
sary-good ore and quantity of it; small
proportion OF high quality will not do.
There Is nothing irrational about $500
ton being got out of certain ores. Selected
specimens will yield this and much more.
The real question is, how much is there
of itP
1.-THE first 40 tons of Comstoek product
yielded $4,000 to the ton. 1t is easy now
to get specimens that will assay $4,000 to
the ton In gold and silver without any
trouble.
'If silver should be discovered in suffi-
cient quantity all over the world it would
undoubtedly lead to a fall in the price of
the metal according to The infallib.e law of
supply and demand. But recent discoveries
OF silver are no more likely to reduce the
price OF the metal than the California gold
discoveries did with gold in the years after
49. The rich deposits are few and far be-
tween, and are soon exhausted. Before the
discovery Of America silver was worth five
times as much as it Is now. The mines OF
Potosi yielded 81, 900. 100000 in two or three
centuries, but the price Of silver was firm
The PotOsi mines are on the slopes of the
Andes or CordIlleras - the backbone Of
America, you may say. 1t was part of the
late Harry Meiggs' scheme TO tap this
chain with his railroads On the South
American coast from the equator TO Val
paraso.
Silver generally occurs in black sui
phuTets. The ores Of the Comstoek con-
tain one third gold which of course counts
for great deal in the reduction. All along
the line OF the Cordileras-aDd you may
trace them from Patagonia to British Co.
lumba and Aiaska-the silver is mostly
found in porphyritie sehists and shales. and
especially where intrusive igneous rocks
occur in metsmorphc strata. In California
the silver cyanides are found in the foot

VIRGINIA, New. March 30-The intro
duction of bill in Congress by Senator
Stewart Of this State providing for estab-
fishing a United States military post at
Reno Is viewed with marked disfavor by
members of the Nevada miners unions.
TIE miners consider that it is an entering
wedge aimed at the destruction of their
present rates of wages, and that the soldiers
at the post will be used against the miners
union members should they resist an at
tempt TO Introduce cheap labor in working
the Comstock mines. The miners suspicion
that the bill is fraught with mischief to their
union appears to be we'll grounded. There
are no hostile Indians In this State and
there are no other interests requiring mill
tary protection. Should there be an mp
rising among the Piutes and other tribes,
the Nevada National Guard is considered
ample to protect the property and persons
of the whites from injury. Companies OF
the national guard are composed almost ex-
cluSiveiY of miners, who would naturally
side with the unions should an attempt be
made To introduce cheaper labor in the
mines. The miners unions Of Storey and

Los ANGELES, March 30-The San Jose

which looked at first like a one-sided affair,
developed into an exciting contest. San
Jose started out in good shape, playing fine
ball and getting the best of the locals, who
made several bad errors. Up to the sixth
inning the score stood 8 to in favor of the
visitors. In the sixth, however. the home
team got in their work and batsed ont six
runs amid the widest enthusiasm. No more
runs were made until the last half of the
ninth inning. when San Jose knocked out
two more Iuns, and won the game. A
high wind was prevailing througho ut the
game, which materially interfered with the
