ducers doing business with his COM

could feel happier than he that such
was the case He also stated that the
sharp advance I'm the price OF silver
during the past few days meant an adj
ditional profit to the Utah producers Of
more than $4,000 per month and he
felt very confident that the price would
continue 10 advance.

vances already recorded during the
