THE increase in the price of silver during the past few weeks has caused much rejoicing among the mining men of Cochise county. They claim that it will be the occasion of many idle mines being opened and that this city will soon feel the good effects thereof. The pre- sumption that the rise in silver is spec. ulation, and not accustomed by an in. creased demand, has caused those inter- ested in the opening of the mines which have heretofore been abandoned to feel a little shsky. Silver has gradually risen during the past few months to the price ot 65 cents per ounce. While the silver men are elstsd they are somewhat nncasy with reference to the perms- nency of the rise.

MINING booms are inevitable, and their wild enthusiasm, which Is charac- teristic of American life, often helps as a necessary starter to be followed up it may be later by more permanent re- sults. But for the first boom many we'll known camps would have remained un-- known to the mining world, and while there are many undesirable features connected with them and though they often entail much suffering, they are part and parcel of mining life and they must be directed and not by any means suppressed.

At the same time his man Is eager to sell Nine mines have besn sold through newspaper mention where one
