A BATTLE FOR SILVER
American Trust and London
Bankers Contestinq.

A contest to control the silver mar
kets of the world is on between the
American Smelling and Refining COM
pany and the silver brokers of London
At present the American orginazition
is gaining the ascendency. and men
who are prominent in directing it's at
fairs talk bluishly Of the future. pre-
dieting that the price will go perhaps
as high as 65 cents an ounce within a
short time. This is the news brought
from the east by J. e. Bamberger
manager of the Daly-West company
Mr. Bamberger has just returned
from a stay Of several weeks In the
east, spending most Of his time In New
York, and Boston. He is in close touch
with the officials of the smelling trust
spending some time with them while In
New York and his information comes
from headquarters.
CAS- an evidence of the faith Of the
officials of the American Smelling and
Refining company have in silver" said
Mr.. Bamberger yesterday. they are

going up, they would not be taking this

Basis of Exchange.
'The principle reason for this con-
| fidence is the strong prospect that the
international silver conference now in
session in Europe will agree on ratio
for the exchange of silver between sill
yer and gold using countries. There is
every reason to believe that ratio OF
80 to 1 will be agreed on as a basis OF
exchange. This would settle the price
of silver around S. cents per ounce.
Another reason for the bulish sen
timent is the fact that the production
has been falling off. The statistics
show that less silver was produced in
the United States last year than the
year before.
For good many years the price Of
silver has been controlled by the brok
ers in London. For some time now

effort is made to boost the price. the
American renews it's offerings. In this
way the Americans have become pow
erful factor in the market. and they
are wrestling the control from the
British.
No Change in Lead.
Mr.. Bamberger thinks that the price
of lead will not change to any great
extent. There began to be surplus a
short time ago, and the price was cut
to stimulate demand. The consumpt-
ion is at such a point that there is at
least no likelihood of lower prices. The
situation in copper is particularly in
teresting. in view of the recent shut
down of the Washoe smelter and the
mines in Butte.
1T looks to me like the beginning of
a long struggle for supremacy in Mont

mated company and the labor unions,
This has been coming for some time
Miners are paid $4 day In Butte
and the unions have been in control
Ever since the Standard Oil company
gained control of the Amalgamated
company l have expected some such
issue, and look to see an attempt to
cut wages before the thing is finished.
This means the closing down of prac-
tically all the mines in Butte and a
long bitter struggle. This will naturally
cut down the copper output to large
degree and under normal conditions it
would increase the price. But there is
| a decrease in consumption on account
| of labor troubles in the east Building
is tied up in number of cities on as
count of strikes and the high prices

effect on the consumption of copper

ment in the supply"

Yesterday articles Of incorporation
Of the Chloride Queen Mining company
were Ned with the Secretary of State
and the County Clerk. with the princi-
pie place Of business named as Carson
City.
Its directors are Oscar Woodbury.,
President; James Sweeney. Vice Pre-
sident; H. Dieterich. Secretary and
Treasurer: c. D. VanDuzer. William
Dieterich. There are 100000 shares of
par value Of 81 each. which will be
sold for the present at Is cents each;
$4,000 to be retained as treasury
stock.
This property has been placed be-
fore the local public for several rea-
sons. The organizers are all home
people and they feel that should they
develop q mine that it will result in
the general good Of the whole COM
nunity. Another advantage is that
should the home people decide TO rake
stock in this home concern, they are
close enough to be able to visit the
ground at any time, and thus keep in
touch with the progress of develop
Rent.
The mine that is incorporated is
really the May Day, one of the few
mines of this county that has produc-
cd bullion. 1t was the good fortune of
the Dieterich boys to carry on mining
in that district to a profit. Several
cars of ore were shipped from the
mine and netted the boys better than
wages. With such financial help as is
expected from the people who should
take the stock, it is believed that the
development SO far instituted by the
original workers can be carried on to
a point that will be profit to ell who
join in the venture.
The VOltaire district is known to
contain some of the ichest ore that
has ever been mined in this or any
section of Nevada. Assays running
into the thousands Of dollars have of
ten been had, and while no very great
deposit has ever been uncovered, yet
miningmen who have been over the
ground feel confident that there is &

to be in on the ground floor. The orr

An order has been issued for the removal of the general offices of auditor of traffic and freight claim agent of the Choctaw (Rock Island) from Little Rock to Chicago About twelve months ago, when the Choc- Jaw passed into control of the Rock Island. the removal of the general offices was gradually begun. First the traffic department was moved Then followed the removal of the auditing department to Chicago, af- ter W. W. Stevenson, comptroller of the Rock Island, had been ap- pointed to similar position with the Choctaw. Part of the auditing department was left at Little Rock, in charge of H. Ernst, as auditor of traffic, and to him all reports of ac- counts of the traffic departments of the Choctaw have been made. The freight claim department is branch of his office. Now they are removed to Chicago, and all that is left of the general offices are the offices of the general freight and passenger agents. Altogether over 200 en- ployes have been removed from Lit tie Rock to Chicago since the Rock Island purchased the Choctaw.

Amendment to Roster Law Ursec

Green, with its present organiza- tion, was, by resolution, made per manent and ordered to be- incor- porated under the laws or the stat vacancies by death or resignation to be filled by the division com mander. A resolution was adopted in which the other Confederate states are requested to join for the amendment of the present law pass ed by congress and approved Feb ruary 25, 1903, "appropriating $300,o00 for the compilation of a complete roster of the armies of the Union and Confederacy in the civil war;" instructing the secretary of war to use any needed amount for the collection of data and records for the purpose of making a com plete and perfect roster, as seems to be the purpose of that enactment though construed to the contrary by the secretary of war.
