EDITORIAL COMMENT.

It is said that the control of the
silver market is gradually but sure
ly passing from London to New
York and San Francisco. AS re-
suit of American rule in the Phil
ippines, the shipments of silver
which have long been made from
San Francisco to China, now ex-
tend to India. The introduction
of United States banking methods
in Manila and the establishment OF
a Manila branch of the United
States mint, should tend to check
the freight rate system so long in
force, by which steamship. charges
ON silver by English ports is thirty
FIVE days, more than direct from
San Francisco, twenty days.
Through shipments are now made
from New York to Bombay. Chi
uese silver has heretofore passed
by a roundabout way through
Hamburg. This is necessarily
very cumbersome and much more
expensive than from San Francisco
to Shanghai via Manila The best
market for silver is the Orient, and
ss all modern business methods are
characterized by speed and direct
ness, with minimum freight
charges, these must obtain in plac-
ftt sifyer there f''.,i -nfii

Washington 0uIch.

Jerry Koontx and his crew were
down last week from the Painter
Boy in Washington Gulch. They
are driving a tunnel along the vein
and have made a distance of over
400 feet during the winter. They
have already developed a fine ore
shute but the main ore body which
was opened years ago at the sur
face and produced large amount
of very rich ore has not yet been
reached. 1t is estimated that loo
feet more OF tunnelling will cut
this old shute. The ore from this
property has always carried good
values in gold and high percentages
in silver. The tunnel cuts the
vein at several hundred feet below
the old workings and a large
amount of STOPPING ground will be
opened by spring when the opera
tors-will probably begin shipment

and continue same during the sea-
son. Depth on this vein will pro.
badly make it a permanent produ-
Ger and q dividend payer for the
owners. Present indications lead
to the belief that this will prove to
be the mother vein which furnished
the old placers their rich gold de-
posits that were worked over a
quarter of century ago and are
said to have furnished a million
dollars to the miners at that time
in gold nuggets. Whether the old
Painter Boy vein-or some as yet
undiscovered source-supplied this
gulch so plentifully with the coarse
gold still remains for the prospect
or to discover and demonstrate the
truth respecting the origin of this
gold. Doubtless the finder will
have a bonanza we'll worth his pains.
1t appears to us that here is an
open field for careful prospecting.
The fact that it has been run over
for so many years does not signify
that big mine is not hidden away
aud will will yet be fonnd when the
proper party turns up who will aft
er be classed with Stratton or Tom
Walsh. -.-..

Destiny of Silver.

Probably the most important
move that has been made for years
respecting the destiny of silver as
a money metal is proposition
originating with the Mexican Gov
ernment whereby the gold stand
ard powers are asked to join in an
agreement establishing a ratio of
value of the silver dollar as meas
ured by that of the standard gold
dollar. An agreement of this char
acter among the powers that be
would mean the re- establishing of
the silver coin and the recognition of
the same as a money metal among
all nations, as in the centuries past
which will insure its stability and
permanancy of value for general
ions to come. The Mexican govern
ment Was wise in refusing to adopt
the gold standard and thereby
fostered her greatest industry-that
OF silver mining, which represents
nearly one half the value of the
nations entire products. With
silver at fixed value we can GER
tainly anticipate revival in the
United States of silver mining and
that it will again become a profit
able occupation.
