WHY SILVER is STRONG.
Reasons r Assigned for the
2 Boost it is Getting.

The cause OF the sudden jump of sill
YER to $50 an ounce on Monday a point
which il reached again yesterday. is at
tributed by New York authorities to
the fact that London has been buying
heavily of late 10 anticipation of a
strong demand for silver or the part Of
France. Reports reached London
about one month ago that the French
mint would require nearly 1000, 600
ounce of the white metal for coinage
purposes by the first Of the coming
month. Since then London has been
accommodating silver, though very little
of 1t has been secured ia the United
States, owing to the fact that the gov
eminent has been in the market for
about 800, 900 ounces, and has there
fore absorbed nearly all of the silver
produced In this coun try
The immediate cause for the sudden
rise was the practical exhaustion of the
visible supply of marketable silver,
though authorities claim that ~specula-
tion played a prominent part 10 boost
log the market, several of the bear
traders being caught and badly squeez-'
cd on account of the short supple.
Another reason advanced for the rise
10 that OF late there has been u heavy
demand from India for coinage silver.
Rumors Of the REIMBURSEMENT of Mexican
and Chinese currency on a gold basis,
Il is claimed, do not seem to have had
any effect on the market.
Hugh Il. Hanna, chairman of the
commission that recently went TO Eu-
rope to confer with the Representatives
OF other countries regarding a basis of
exchange among countries using silver
money, reached his home in I%ndianapo-
lis Monday, very well satided with the
result of his mission. He declined to
20 into details OF the work OF the mis-
sion previous to the fling OF a report
with the government, but is quoted as
having said:
1.-THE special duty OF the commission
was to obtain sta bility ia The stock bllls

SBARcHLIGHT STRIKE STU
ALTON.

The S%earchlight S%earehlight con
tains the following concerning the
strike which has been on ios several
months past 10 that extreme South
eastern Nevada mining camp:
Sheriff johnson returned to Della
mar last Sunday, after spendidg a week
ia camp. On leaving he stated that as
everything was quiet here there was
no occasion for him TO remain and that
he should not return unless trouble
arose IN the future.
In all the Quartette company now
has 30 men IN its payroll. This num-
bar includes miners, guards aud all lem
ployed In and around the property.
During the week the property has been
put in shape preparatory to commen-
cling active operations. As the chutes
and ore bins were left full at the time
the strike was called there Is plenty OF
ore on hand and no attempt has been
made as yet to break more. The work
in the mine so far has consisted Of clean
ing up and filling the slopes with waste
Wednesday afternoon the mill at the
mine was started but after a few hours
run it was found necessary 10 close
down and make repairs. Mtllman
johnson found that the mill, after ~
ing idle over three months and a half
was in no condition to stand a steady
run. He says, however, that just as
soon as the necessary repairs and alter
alton can be made the mill will be run
continuously. While the force Of men
nov employed as miners is still small
the management declares that they
have a sufficient number to keep the
mill supplied with ore,
G. F. Cotton, NJ. E. Paddock and
W. L. Holman have teen sworn in as
Deputy sherifs. The property IS I'M
der constant guard and notices have
been posted warning tresspassers to
keep off.
The Miners union declares itself
more hopeful than yer OF winning the
strike. Il believes that the companies
cannot secure enough capable miners
with which TO operate their properties.
To this end the union is doing every
hing possible to keep ~workingmen
way from Searchlight. Pickets have
been stationed at Marvel. hex, Needles
5ofs and San Bernardino. Appeals
also been made TO tho unions OF
he labor councils Of Los Angeles and
san Francisco. Printed notices have
,een sent out asking workingmen in
to stay away from Searchlight
Intl the strike has been settled.
The following scale of wages has beeu
by the Quartette Company
nd rejected ny the Union: Miners SO,
hammers 80, miners, shaft work, 81. 80;
miners, wet ground, SO 80; engineers,

Nevada is not a new country in fact,

can be made valuable al small cost, and

~ofsecurity the certainty Of crops, is
worth much. He IS his own provi-
dence, and moisture spreads at his will.
He not only provides rain when he

food he turns il on; when his beet field

stantly enriches his soil, as it did for
centuries IN Egypt, 1t is the coming
