NEWS OF The MINES
THE ADVANCE IN SILVER.

Owing to the advance in the price of
silver, Director of the Mint Roberts has
increased the price to be paid by the
government for silver purchased from
IS to 81 cents a standard ounce. The
government at present purchases only
such silver as is contained il gold de-
posits from the Klondike and other
gold~-producing sections. Under the eS-
listing statute all silver in gold deposits
is paid for at the market price. The price
has advanced steadily since 1895, when it
touched Al cents for a standard ounce.
The new price went into effect yester-
day.
Apropos of the advance in the price of
silver, Secretary Edward Brush of the
American Smelling & Refiaing company,
an authority on the subject, says:
"The subject is one the fulure OF which
it is difficult to forecast. Prol nacies are
worse than wasted. When silver declin-
ed from so cents an ounce to 81 cents
there was a strong sentiment against it,
and yet the decline was in the face of
very general predictions that it WAS not
likely to occur. At the present time the
price is governed more than it has been
for some time by the law OF supply and
demand. 1t may not be generally known,
but it is a fact, nevertheless, thai there
has been a serious falling off in the pro-
duction of this country in the last year.
The production a year ago was about &c.
O00, 600 ounces; his yea it is on a basis

OF a little over 60,0 O0, 900 ounces, the fall
ing Off up to date being equal to about
4,ooo,ooO ounces. This is due to the fact
mat some Of the mines have been ex-
hausted, while at the same time SO much
attentlon Is being given to the gold and
copper ores that silver is somewhat neg
iected. Were the price, however, to go
up TO 10 cents an ounce. many new mines
would undoubtedly be worked. Yet in this
connection the fact Is not to be lost sight
of that, while the production has de-
creased here. it has increased in Mexico
and British Columbia sufficiently to Offset
the loss here.
What the real factor in the situation
is the increased demand from India,
China, and the Straits Settlements. So
far this year London has shipped to In
dia 5000, 900 ounces more than during the
same time last year, to China 6,OOO, 900
ounces more. n to the Straits Settle
ments $780, 900 ounces more. The in
creased shipments to China are due to
the extension of trade and the war. Since
the outbreak of hostilities there the coun-
try has not been able to import anything,
while exports still go out. Naturally,
something must go in to pay for those
exports, and that something is silver

LAMP STARTS A FIRE.
For Awhile a Stable Full Of Horses
Was Threatened.

A slight misunderstanding between
mother and daughter, resulting in the
latter taking up her abode for the night
in an unoccupied building in the neigh
borhood of Copper and North Wyoming
streets: carelessness on the part of the
girl to watch a kerosene lamp while
lamenting the eStrangement with her
parent, are the direct causes of a fire last
night which destroyed the building in
question n raised considerable alarm
for the safety of Sullivan & Duggan.s
big barn adjoining, where over 100 horses
were stabbed. The fire broke out at an
early hour this morning, and for ten min
utes 1t appeared as if a whole block of
buildings would be involved in the con-
Migration. Every animal in the livery
stable threatened by the flames was
turned out on the street, and fortunately
the fire was confined to the building in
which it originated. The property loss

SHIPPING MEN FROM BUTTE TO

SNAP GIVEN AWAY BY
ONE OF THE MEN ENGAGED.
Fusion Headquarters Opened-Repub-

The republican state central committee
has received information to the effect
that a large number of men have been
shipped within the past two days to Car
bon and Dawson counties by the fusion
democracy for alleged illegal purposes.
The snap was given way by one of the
men who had received transportation
from one of the fusion managers to one
of the eastern counties. He was sup
posed to draw his pay until after election.
Some of the men so sent it is said are
not voters in the state but they were
supposed to register just the same.
The republicans have the names of all
the men shipped out of Butte ahd Ana
conda and are prepared to make it warm
for the fusion men who engineered he
scheme. They ave notified the republi-
cans of eastern Montana to be prepared
for their democratic and populist breth-
ern and it is safe to say that their at

in the bud.

AROUND LIBBY.

In a short time it will be up to the En-
glish stockholders to determine what to
do with the Snowshoe mine. Alexander
Hill, the celebrated English mining ex-
pert, who came from across the water to
examine the property and pass Judgment
on Its worth as a mine, has completed his
work, and his report is probably on it's
way to England. When that report is re-
ce1ved 1t will be for the present owners
to determine whether or not they will put
more money IN the enterprise, in order to
make 1t a dividend payer, or to put the
mine on he market, sell it for what it
will bring, and let the purchaser do that
part.
Conservative mining men do not be-
neVe thai the Snowshoe, as it is can ever
be proftably worked under the conditions
tnat now exist. IT the mine is to be
worked the first thing to be done Is to
explore the ledge by sinking, and deter
mine the extent of the ore body. To do
this, and do it right, will probably require
the expenditure of not less than $50. 900.
II this Is done and the showing is of a
favorable character, then it will require
more money before the mine can ever be-
come a dividend payer TIC be worked
successfully, and to secure water to run
the concentrator the year around, as has
been stated before, it will be necessary to
operate the mine from the Cherry creek
side. Then. of course, new works will
awe to be built, m if the product is to
be handled so that there may be no glut.
1t will also be necessary to build a rail
road from Libby to the mine. To do all
this will require the expenditure of in the
nelghborhood of half a million dollars.
VIII the present owners put UP this
amount of money? This is a plain state
ment of facts and the conditions that
affect the Snowshoe mine. It is, un-
doubleday, a big proposition, but it will
require lots of money to be properly
handled and made to become a producer,
The values are there, but the wealth re-
mains in the ground. Will the present
owners take it out and put it Into the
ann of trade, or will it be for some
future owner to take hold of the Snow
shoe and make it a bonanza?
