BE Disturbed.

the price of silver the past week has had
a most depressing effect on the silver

the effect of closing two more large pro
ducers
Fortunately for the interests Of the
state, copper is now the largest mining
industry in the state, and as long as that
remains where it is the thousands Of
miners employed in that line will not be
disturbed
A call was issued yesterday, signed
by twenty of the most prominent men in
the state, for a convention Of silver mine
operators to be held here July to per-
feet an organization to take an active
