CONSERVATION AMONG SILVER MEN,
Butte. MoNr., June 2S-- The drop of
silver to 70 cents an ounce has caused con
sternation in this city among the mine
owners and miners. 1t was totally uneN-
pected and therefore those most interested
are nonplused.
The principal silver producers are the
Alice, Moulton, Lexington ANA Gugnon
mines, and the managers OF each on being
interviewed say that Unless there is an
immediate change for the better work will
be suspended. With silver ut 50 cents the
mines We're operated ut "A small loss, but
tins was sustained and IL was thought to
be cheaper to lose u little than to entail
the greater expense of q shutdown, the
presumption being that the price would
before long go up.
All the copper ores here carry much
silver, and how the copper mines will be
affected is not known, is neither the Ana
COnda nor Boston and Montana managers
are in the city,

BLAND WHISTLES TO KEEp HIS COURAGE UP.
ST. Lotus, Mo, lune 2S.-ln an inter
view to-day Congressman Richard +.
bland gave as his opinion that the suspcn-
sion of free silver coinage in India would
have serious effect on the financial
policy Of this government and more
especially of the silver advocates. lie said:
Heroic measures will be required on
the part of this government for the demon
citation OF silver. The decentralization Of
silver is meant BY its authors To have an
effect upon our legislators in favor Of the
gold standard. There may be some timid
persons who will be influenced thereby.
Most emphatiCally ! do not think it is
knock out for silver in this country.
"Oh the contrary, | think that if Con-
gress does not adopt some measure looking
to bimetalli standard, it will make the
battle OF standards the coming issue in
tins country. This battle will disrupt
political parties and cause contest be-
tween the commercial centres and the
agricultural districts of the country. The
decentralization of silver is a,conspiracy be-
tween the banking institutions of England
and the eastern portions Of the United
states, and the suspension Of silver coinage
in India is part of this conspiracy to bull
dnze the Congress Of the United States into
the adoption Of the single gold standard. |
do not believe that they will succeed.
