 The Mining Review answers again the oft repeated question: Gan one do the assessment for a group of lode claims on one claim2 That is, II l have five claims. can I do $500 worth of work on one of the five to hold them all!' The answer is that work done any where. even hundreds ot feet away from the claim, will count as annual assessment work, if 1t Is intended Co develop the claim. The deciding point is, Will the work develop the claim! If it will. it will count as assessment; If 1t will not, it will not count. \ different rule has been applied, by official rulings, in relation to the required work on several contiguous placer claims. It IS held that work for them all may be done on one, bat this ruling does not apply to lode claims.

SILVER AND WHEAT.

Almost every gold standard organ In
the country is gleefully pointing out
the fact that although wheat and cot
ton have made considerable advances
in price, silver has remained stationary
d. declined This is supposed to com
pletely refute and forever settle the
claim that there is any relation be-
tween the prices of wheat, cotton and
silver.
1t viii be time enough to make de-
duetions when the average prices OF
these commodities for the year are as
certained- For twenty-three years past
the average price for each year Of an
ounce of silver. a. bushel of wheat and
10 pounds of cotton has not varied
greatly, one from the other. It IS not
certain Or even likely that this year
VIII prove an exception.
If the advance in wheat and cotton
is sustained for any considerable length
Of time the price of silver bullion is
certain to follow or the record Of the
past viii be broken. The silver men
are not ready to yield their position on
account of a furry in the market which
may be only speculative.
Whether speculative or genuine the
advance in wheat and cotton is equally
indicative of a revival in business
During a period of depression there is
little inclination to make investments
or take chances at any price, however
low. The failure of silver to respond
at once to wheat and cotton cannot be
used effectualy in this campaign
