Improved Processes in Mining.

II Is often represented that the pro-
duction OF silver has recently been great
ly cheapened by improved processes In
mining says the Empire Of Finance and
Trade. While this is true as to the
separating and refining Of metals from
ores and applies to gold as well as to sill
YER; its effect upon the general result Is
insignificant. These improvements do
not in any way affect the vast sums ex-
pended on prospecting and upon un-
profitable mines which represent eighty
to ninety per cent OF the expenses OF all
such productions.
IL is often urged by by those who advo-
cate gold monometallism that the bulk
OF business is transacted by checks and
bills Of exchange forgetting that when
we have metallic basis whether OF sill
YER or Of gold or both, that the real value
OF such bills is solely dependent upon
their being instantly redeemable In
coined metal IL the coin reserve IN
crease or decrease in value or interest
rate, or II II be contracted, then up goes
the interest charge or tine price OF ulti'
mate redemption. II commerce and
trade get ahead Of tins metallic supply
very much, doubt and want OF confidence
ensues or II very much behind the re-
verse Is the case. This is the reason
why in the issue OF a currency upon a
given basis, if there be contraction either
OF currency or the basis to any. extent
there comes panic or depression or vice
versa Any improvement that will
make mining less laborious and surer OF
results must prove beneficial to the
finances and trade Of the world in so far
as it assists to increase the means oi
making exchanges more convenient, but
as yet nothing has been done in this
direction that can much affect the gen.
eral result.
