Bar silver 6S cents"

Bar silver 6S cents"
That was the announcement made
yesterday morning and the continued
advance of the white metal carried
with it much encouragement for the
Utah miner and operator, notwith-
standing the fact that few there are
who believe that the improvement in
the market Will continue as marked
for many more days as it mas for the
past ten. The quotation given out yes
terday was the highest point the metal
has reached for the past year and
three quarters, it having been eighteen
months since the price of silver has
been within the 6S cent limit As COM
pared with the price given on the day
previous, yesterdays quotation meant
an advance OF two points CIR Il fun
quarter of a cent. Settlements WelS
made at the smelters at 68 cents for
silver. but there was no change for the
better in the price OF common lead,
which remained stationary at $3l5.
Advices from the principal financial
centres of the east and also from those
on the continent are to the effect that
the Indications lead the talent to be-
lieYe that the increase in the price of
the white metal has not yet reached
its zenith, but on the contrary more
advances are in order. Even the best
posted operators are sometimes badly
fooled, however, and there is really no
way in which any absolute idea can
be CLEANED on the situation. Silver
certificates f1uctuated considerably and
closed at from 6S12 to 50. Tnere is no
doubt but that the advance is due to
the heavy buying of the English who
are putting in a stock of the metal in
anticipation of the increased demand
from China and Japan. 1t is said that
the supply of silver on the London
market or in private vaults there is
very heavy, but good prices are being
paid. The production of the United
States is not increasing very materially
but in Mexico the coming of the rainy
season reduced operations and in con-
sequence curtailed the volume of tae
shipments.

undaunted heroism he struggled on, de-

deliberately went out on strike and de-

compromise on an amicable basis and

She wanted to hear the whole case or

THE JUMP N SILVER.
How it is viewed in New York c

How it is Viewed in New York City.
NEW YOKR, Oct 10.-The upward
tendency of the market for silver is
attracting close attention both here
and in Europe. The headquarters or

has a distinct bearing upon the Sc
curities of several OF our railway sys-
TENS as we'll as those of the Mexican
lines. The rise in silver. if continued.
would affect the last mentioned prop
critics in three separate ways.
First, in their gross earnings, as the
predominant industry in Mexico is the
mining of silver. which has been con-
tinued, despite the fall in it's price and
would naturally be stimulated by an
increase in its values. This would, of
course, mean an increase in the earn
ings OF the roads which traverse the
mining districts.
Second the roads would be benefited
by reduction in their operating eX
penses. about one-third of which are
paid in gold.
Third, a high price for silver In
rreases the capacity of the roads to
meet their fixed charges, which are
payable in gold.
As an illustration, it has been care
fully estimated that if the Mexican
Central railroad had received the same
price in 1894 for silver as that Oh
tained in 1892 instead of a deficit OF
$759000 for 1894, as actually shown, the
road would have earned a substantial
surplus above fixed charges. Also that
the Mexican National, with the same
rate of exchange as existed IN 1890.
would have earned in 1894 full interest
on both prior lien and az bonds.
In the United States the Rocky
mountain roads would be favorably af-
fected by further appreciation in the
price of the white metal. and more
! particularly the people who are inter
ested in the rehabilitation of the Union
that after the PAIRING crisis in 1890 the
Union Pacific difficulties were adjusted
under the administered ton of j. Pier
| pont Morgan by the issue of large
collateral trust. For three years fol-
! lowing that time, until the silver
| crisis in 1898. the property reflected
! steadily improving conditions with the
result that the securities advanced so
! that a large amount of the collateral
| trust notes were retired. When the
! silver collapse occurred the road went
| into the hands of receivers, although
no charges of irregularities or incom-
potency were brought against the
management. 1t was simply case of
| lost earning power due to the fact
that the sustaining industry of the
regions through which a large portion
! of the road traversed had been para
lyzed.

For the purpose of determining the
best method of treating the ores from
their property, the owners of the Ibex,

Case Went over.

Contrary to expectations there was
no hearing yesterday of the case that
involves the ownership of the Rich
mcnd mine in West Mountain district.
IT had been set down ON return of the
order to show cause why an injunction
should not issue but the count was I'M
able to take the matter up and the
case went over until Saturday, Not
withstanding the restraining order that
is now in force, the development of
uhe property is still going on and the
results are extremely fattering. In one
portion of the property an ore body of
high grade sixteen feet in width has
been opened up.

Mr. Dern has spent the. past three

development work is being done IN the
properties At the Matte No. AMI the

as it is also in every other property
owned by the company.
The verdict of the coroner's jury in
the Andrews case did not meet With
the approval of the people who are
acquainted with the condition Of affairs
in the mines of the Mercur company.
The jury held the Mercur company
responsible for the death of Andrews.
but those who know declare that It
was one of those unavoidable accidents
that VIII occur despite the exercise OF
the greatest care on the part of all
concerned. Andrews was working in a
stope and had hardly struck a blow
when several wheel barrows full of ore
came down from the roof, striking him
on the back and inficting injuries
which proved fatal within twenty
minutes. Every care had been taken
and the ground was considered per-
fectly safe. Superintendent Treweek
was within ten feet of Andrews when
the fall came The insurance company
that UNDERWRITERS the Mercur company
on all accidents of this nature has been
notified and is prepared to take care
of any claim for damages. The body
