it will take several years for the country to recover. Even the low price prevailing has failed to tempt buying for the bazars; and this is a thing unheard of heretofore. The de diminished in spite of the high price and large production of tin; fact which is accounted for by the increas- ed proportion of that metal handled by English companies, which sell on gold basis.
 In China which is usually second only to India as a buyer of silver, trade was thoroughly disorganized by the Boxer rebellion and the subse- quent war Under the operation of the indemnity payments exacted by the Powers. China is for the time a seller rather than a buyer of silver. while the Australian silver product, large part of wsnh was usually ship ped to Chin., now goes to London, still furtb4r increasing the supplies there
 Meantime the production of silver does not decrease to any considerable extent, and the reason for this is clear. In the United States at the present time, silver is almost exclu- sively a by-product It is produced in connection with copper and lead; and with gold also, though to 6 very much smaller extent. This is the case also in Australia, and in some degree in Mexico, though the last named country has more mines iron, which silver a'ore is drawn than any other country. As long as there Is a demand for copper and lead, silver will continue to be produced in quantity approximating the present output so that relief from the present situation must come from larger demand, and not from diminishing supplies.
 It is possible that the low price may result in some increase in the con sumption of the metal in the arts and industries. At present prices, for ia- stance, solid silver ware for house hold purposes ought not to cost more than the higher grades of plated ware. and its possession is more satisfactory for many reasons This demand, how ever. is comparatively small, and by itself would not be sufficient to help materially in any reaction.
 A singular fact in connection with the present situation is that the fall has attracted very little attention. It seems to have been accepted as inevit- able and very little has been said out side of those who are especially in- terested; and most of them are not inclined to talk about it-Engineer- ing and Mining Journal.

 They spent a week examining the property and the mammoth tunnel, and were so we'll pleased with the property that deal was made and as soon as they arrive home they will or ganize company at $1,000,000 and a stamp mill will be erected for the
 purpose of making practical tests of the gold ore. They returned to De troit on Friday last
