Will Stimulate Silver Mining.

Silver prices continue to advance
steadily, quotations for bar silver at
this writing being above 90 cents per
ounce. Within the past year ship
ments OF silver from London to India,
China and Straits Settlements were of
the value of Co, 1873, O4O, which was a
cOnside rable increase oyer those of the
previous year. The coinage OF silver
by our own government for the month
of September, 1903, represents 1907
4GS. The coinage for the Philippines
for the same month was 1904, 566 pesos
and 1893 smaller coins. Between
October LIST and 9TH the Treasury De-
partmcnt purchased go. 600 ounces of
silver at slightly below 90 cents per
ounce. Exports of silver from all
United States ports for the year
amounted to so, 30, 420, imports being
Sl4, S64 ,jS1. These figures afford some
idea OF the movements of the white
metal and the chief sources of demand.
There is "a general opinion that pro-
ducers can feel safe that the price will
not in the near future fall below 60
cents, with a strong probability OF
further advance. 1t will not be sur
prising TO see the price reach % cents
and remain around that figure with
some stability. Results Of present
market conditions are already seen in
the increased activity in the leading
silvcr-lead producing districts. Lead
vile, Creole, Georgetown, the San
Juan country and Aspen are now feel
ing the favorable effect and with
toierable labor conditions those camps
will prosper. The silver-lead mines of
Utah and Idaho are now making
heavier production than for several

The principal supply of platinum
obtained in the United States comes
from the placer deposits of California
and Oregon in association with free
gold. Plumas, Trinity, Syskiyou and
Shasta counties, California, have pro-
duced considerable of this metal.
Platinum has also been found TO oc-
cur in nickel and cobalt ores. and it is
associated with covellite copper ore in
the new Ram bier mine in Medicine
Bow range, Wyoming. The price o;
platinum is now quoted at $40 per troy
ounce in New York. Serpentine.

authorities regarded as the parent

Last week the time tables OF the

that all trains made connections with
trains No 9 and No. 10 of the South

between FL Paso and Los Angeles, and
there is not enough of this to pay for

From present appearances trains and

there being more overland business

TIRE-CRACKER BILL
At eleven O'Clock. the hour for the
special order. House Bill to prohibit
selling Of cannon-crackcrs over three
inches long, toy pistols, spring or air
guns. was put before the House on lis
third reading.
Mr.. Humphrey. of Rockingham sort
fordward an amendment. TO provide that
the amendment including spring and ii.
guns. should not apply to Rockingham.
This was the amendment offered tho
other day by Genera Davidson, of Bun
combc.
General Davidson then proceeded to say
that the unrcstrained use of firc-crackcrs
and toy guns was a source of positive
danger as we'll as great annoyance. The
object of the bill was to restrict tho traf-
fic in such things. instead of Furnishing
the person using them. Thus il would
avoid the c%rowdinG Of the police courts,
and indicting children in large numbers.
He dwelt upon the great danger If
spring and air guns saying that they not
only endangered human life. but actually
endangered property also. An instance
was cited in which a stock raiser had his
entire herd ~stampedcd by some boys ac-
cidentally shooting out the eye Of 4 very
fine heifer. He did no. consider that such
a law would take away much from the
enjoyment of the boys of North Caro-
liza.
The amendment by Mr.. Self, of Ca
tawba. he said, limited the bill to guns
with lead or wooden missiles.
Mr.. Hall, Of Robson, offered an amend
ment that the bill should not operate on
July 4th and December 25th. and not be
enforce until April 1st, 1903. and that the
size of fire crackers be limited to IA
inch in diameter and . inches in length.
Mr.. Bullard. of Cumberland, stated that
since his opposition the other day he had
received letters telling him that his
whole county favored the bill. HI
would accordingly support the bill with
all his heart.
Mr.. Guion offered 20 amend by making
the bill operative after July 1st, 1903.
Mr.. Blourt proposed to amend by Civ
