But let us suppose we are waiting for simple breakfast and score down the items rolled up on our accounts current by Chloe. in he kitchen, while she is converting Inc raw material Of the butcher and gro- cer into manufactured product that will meet the approbation of our pal utcs.

Cost of silver rrodu-,.on.

The following extract ls taken frcm letter published in the Denver News. written by Hon. Dennis Shec- dy in reply to one from Hon, John A.. Greer, Of Prescott. Mr shcedy is president and manager of the Globe Smelling Works, in Colorado, and ex- cclient authority on mining matters and the cost of extracting and treat ing ores. He says,
 Many of the people of the east "sccm tu think that our mines are in- 'cxhaustible. have lived in the mining states and territories of and Ion for thirty years, and have seen many of our bonanza mines worked "oat, and others have been sunk SO deep that they nave ceased to be profitable. Nature in its wisdom has planted but one crop Of silver and mo more. When we take statistics. ''as you and have done, and find that for period of 1000 years these metals have never been found ia the mines of the world at a ratio to cx- 'cecd sixteen ounces Of silver iO ono ounce of gold, lt cah be very easily "scen that this hue md cry against "silycr Is nuraled for and will work d great hardship on the masses Of the people of the world. Of course do mot mean that for the last decnde "tlIe ratio has not been increased. but "thl- will regulate Itself in time. and flor no period in twenty-five years. In my ludgnent will silver be found in the ratio to exceed l6 to1.
 "Now, as to the cost of producing silver have, as you well know, "bcen president Of the Globe smelt- ling and Refining Company for the past seven years. II costs little lover 10 cents an ounce to melt the sil- ''ycr out of the ore and do the work of converting it into silver bullion. "Thc railroad charges mining charg- ''es and the cost 0f the mines from which the silver k produced would. 'in my Judgment. cost over Its coined value of sl.20 per ounce. and yen- 'ture the assertion without fear Of successful contradiction that there "ls no groupof ten mines In ihis or any other mining state or territory that can produce silver nt so or g0 cents an unncc without losing mon Icy by so doing There may bc one tor two out of the ten that may be 'able to do so. but the cost of pruduc- "ing silver has been greater than its market value for the past two years. Many of the low-grade mines have "bccn closed down for some time past; nov nearly all of the hlgh-gradc mines have closed down.
 II would further say for. your infor- nation that fully S3s per cent. of "thc metallic value of ores that are "smelted at our works is gold, and
 when they destroy the value of Sil- Ever they step the production of this "33l per cent. of gold, because when "the one is improbable the other cannot be produced.
