We have 1000 men accustomed

used to quickly oyerrun either Canada

our mounted forces to that of the
main body of the army is unnecessary
and injudicious.
There is. however, corps or force
required in our army that could be
rendered of great utility not only to
the military, but to the people of this
country. This power is being recog-
nized by European governments, and

ADVANCE IN SILVER.

The recent purchases of silver by
the United States treasury have, for
the time, helped up the price of the
metal. The average price OF silver
for the month of March in New York
was 1872 cents. The last purchases
made by the government were at 52l
cents an ounce, and the prospects
are favorable for a still further adj
vance. In fact, some eastern finan-
ciers predict that two months hence
hence will see silver at 60 ceuts. 1t
has been announced by the treasury
department that the government this
year expects to purchase not less
than 27 900, 900 ounces of silver, and
that its requirements for 1904 will be
about "a, 900, 900 ounces. Most of this
silver will be used in supplying the
wants of the Philippines, and as the
amount required will consume about
one-half of the production of the
United States it is safe to assume
that the other half will be used for
home requirements. The demand and
increase in price augurs well for the
future Of silver, and will undoubtedly
be the means of opening many mines
now idle.

Clarkson Clothier, capitalist of
Philadelphia, who is heavily interest

in Tonopah on Sunday last. During
the first few days OF his visit he went
through and examined the properties
in which he is interested, and to say
that he was pleased with the investi-

his feelings; he was simply at
the progress that has been made and
predicts a great future for the camp.

Sodaville by private conveyance, GO
