Future Of Silver,

Reports from London give some prom
iss of stable prices for silver for sone
tins to come. They are to the effect
that the English Council Of State for In
dis has given official notice that no
more council bills will be sold for less
than Is. 2sd. per rlpee, which Is equal
to about 83 cents per ounce for silver.
| Heretofore this Council of State for In
dia, through the Bank of England, on
two days of each week, has sold India
council bills. which are simply de-
mand note of the Indian government
for rnpees, to English importers of In
for goods. These bills are equivalent to
silver, and the price at which the coun-
ell offers them on each Wednesday and
Saturday 6xss the price Of silver This
| is the method by which the English
! fnanciers bull or bear the price of sill
yer. When they have seen that it was
advancing in price too rapidly to suit
! ahsr purposes they offered their coun-
Gil bills at price a shade below quota
tions, and thus depressed the price, and
this Council of State for India is COM
posed Of British monometalists, who are
opposed to bimetallism in any form-
They have held the price of silver in
their grasp for eighteen years, with the
exception of only few short weeks,
elevating or depressing it as they saw
fif. The only time they failed to regu-
late it's price was when the free coinage
bill passed the Senate two years ago,
and there appeared to be chance for
it becoming the law in this country.
Then the prospect of such an event in
spite Of English influence advanced the
price of silver to $l.2l per ounce. Wall
street and English influence combined
defeated the bill in the House, and
com promise was made on the present
Sherman bill. After its passage the
Council Of State was again able to mount
the saddle and do its guerilla work
sginst silver.
Now with ruin staring the world in
the face they graciously announce (pro-
viding the kilograms are true) that they
will not depress the price of silver be-
low 83 cents per ounce. Ought we not
to get down on our marrow bones and
kiss the feet of our English masters, for
SO gracious privilege to live little
longer.-Mining Industry.

The camp of Witwatersrand is now
turning out more gold annually than the
whole state of California, and is, for the
present, the leading gold producing sec
tion of the world. The material from
which the gold is obtained is conglom-
crate, like a cemsnted gravel, and is
not quartz like we have in our ledges
here. 1t is very hard and has to be
crushed in mills just like quartz. The
gold is not of very high grade, in fact
some of it is very poor as compared
with what we find here.-Scieuti6c

BULLION SHIPMENT.

THE GARFIELD.
Mr.. Peter adams has been prospecting
for the Garfield ledge on the west side
of the summit and has apparently solved
the mystery as TO why the vein has not
been cut in the Buke & Taylor tunnel.
The vein where struck on the east side
is evidently break-ever and as it lies
very fat the tunnel will have to be run
TWO hundred feet further to reach it.

All this tells the story of the high water

showed rise of fraction of an inch
over a foot during the day and the
water is still creeping up on the gauge.
There is every probability that by night
the danger mark, 80 feet, will be

water had caused the abandonment of

than it was In 1882 and is much

after the ice had all run out of the
