Speaking of the possible future de.
mand for silver, the London Statist
says: "As the silver in the reserve is
now at an irreducible minimum, the
whole of the further demand for ru-
pees will have to be met by puI chases
of new silver. IL India absorbed Co.
100000 ounces of silver in the past year
of famine, what will it require in a
year of prosperity? The worlds pro-
duction of silver is not much over l60.-
900, 90 ounces, and ludia's require
ments in the past year have been
equal to nearly A. per cent. of the to-
tai output. From the closing of the
Indian mints until the current year
lndia's purchasers of silver we're not
more than about 100000 ounces per
annum. Now we have the prospect
that the demand may be 60,0OO,OO
ounces a year. IL will be evident,
therefore, that the Indian government
will be constant and large buyer of
the silver and that the price in the
future will probably rule at a much
higher level than it has done siuce the
closing of the Indian mint"

A Romance OF Mining.

Some years ago when Patrick Burns
was Just beginning to gain his reputa
tion as the "Cattle King of the West"
he assisted young English mining
expert and engineer who was in finan
cial or other difficulties. The young
man was CRATE full and always made it
point to keep in touch with Mr.. Burns
in the hope that some day he might be
able to repay him for the favor shown.
But as time went on the Englishman
drifted to other parts, ana for few
years Mr.. Burns heard nothing of him.
Less than year ago, however,, a letter
came from this mining engineer He
was located in NJ exico and said he had
discovered some very rich copper de-
posits. He had not the funds to de.
velop the property and he was anxious
that Mr.. Burns should take hold of it,
becouse, as he expressed it, there we're
millions in it. Mr.. Burns had enough
faith in his friend to send man down
to look at the property. This man
came back with confirmation Of the
report of the Englishmsn, Then Mr..
Burns consulted Mr.. Bruce White of
Nelson, and the conference resulted in
Mr.. Whites departure for Mexico.
When Mr.. White left Nelson he did not
say where he was going and so far AS
ma no
never knew until now. Mr.. White
went directly to the property and ex-
amined it. Every one who knows
Bruce White knows him to be one of
the most conservative mining men in
British Columba and when he came
back aud told his associate. Mr.. Burns,
that the Mexico property was won
der, Mr.. Barns was sure the English
man had not overestimated his find.
When a man gets hold of good thing
he usually likes to see it for himself,
and so Mr. Burns decided to pay visit
to Mexico. He did so aud has only re-
Gently returned. He didn't go TO con.
firm Mr.. Whites report, for he knew
that was right and he came back just
as en- husia stic As the Englishman him
self. The several visits resulted in Mr.
Burns taking hold of the property or
in other words securing the controlling
interest. II is said TO be a veritable
mountain of copper and to be one of
the largest bodies Of copper on the con
tinent. The property is within a few
miles Of the sea, which renders the
transportation of the ore easy Steam

to the water where il is loaded on steam.
ers and carried to the nearest smelter
Already there are over 200 men at work
on the property. 1t is reported that
Mr.. Burns was offele two millions for
his interest, but he believes that when
the property has been fully developed
it will command a greatly increased
price should he be inclined to SELL

firm Of Logan, Demond & Harvey, of

William Lawrence came in Monday,
bringing 76 ounces Of gold (Troyl
weight), representing a months clean
up from their mines, two miles south
Of Dripping Springs. The gold was
shipped from Globe by express. It's
value is from 1908 to l,3O0s. Mr.
Lawrence and J. {. GIisson are the
owners Of the mine and they have been
working it only few months. They
made several shipments of ore, but
the charges we're so heavy that they
decided TO work it themselves and for
that purpose erected an arastTa which
answers the purpose very we'll. The
mine is an old location formerly owned
/ by United States Marshal Griffith, who
sunk a shaft 20 feet and got some very
good ore, but the ledge was a blind
lead, and WAS found toy Lawrence and
| GlisSou about thirty feet from the
shaft. The gulch had been worked
over successfully several times for
/ placer gold, showing that the gold
must have come from ledge near by,
aud Lawrence and Glissen, after dill
gent search, discovered it. The ledge
is from two to three feet wide and
carries a very rich streak which in
some places is not wider than the
thickness of ones finger, aud in other
places widens into pockets. Thi-
streak assays 2O2 ounces of fine gold

such experience at Iron mountain. The
ore will come out undamaged. 1t is
roasted before being sheltered in the
usual treatment. The danger lies 10
the destruction of timbers, possible
explosion and delay. The fire may
have been occasioned by the ore itself
or by the rock used for filling, which
came from limestone quarry. The
Peck tunnel has of late been almost un-
bearably hot. The miners say the
walls Of the drift have been too warm
to touch. 1t was in this tunnel that
the men demanded eight hour instead
of ten. hour shifts, precipitating the
great strike in which the men have
