CHICAGO. July 30.-Delegates to the
silver convention arrived in force today,

There are occasions when rich find
may put the cost of mining down to that
inquire. but the average cost of mining
silver is about dollar an ounce. Every
thing has closed down in Nevada, save
few mines where the percentage of
gold is extremely large. Only ruin is
IN store for the West and eventually in
the East in the demonetizing OF silver"

at the Grand Pacific, expects the dele

Every ounce of silver mined in
Montana this year has cost S109,'' said
Mr.. Gallagher. land we insist upon the
to 10 ratio. The East is already feel
ing the effect of the Western depression
brought about bv the demand for the re-
peal OF the silyer-purchasing act. One

The convention will be of special in
