are expected to be preserved for
centuries. The inventor hopes that
some day a vast mausoleum of noted

which it will be deemed the highest
honor to be thus preserved for future
generations. y The mechan-
ical process which is to make all this
possible, and on which the United
States government has granted a
patent, is quite simple. The remains
are first surrounded with a coating
of sodium silicate, or water glass,

LARGEST CIRCULATION IN TONOPAE
WHERE DOES SILVER COZ

The absorption of silver by the in
habitants of India, China, Japan and
other Asiatic countries, says the
Mining and Engineering Review, has
been a source Of wonder and specula-
ton to students of economy for many
centuries. Pliny called Asia "the
sink of silver, for the reason that,
no matter how much is poured into
that continent, it still cries for mor
The capacity of the Hindoos, Chinese
and Japanese for the absorption OF
silver seems absolutely limitless.
Great quantities of the white metal
must be stored somewhere in those
vast and densely populated countries,
the inhabitants of which use the
small silver coin almost exclusively.
Millions in silver are poured into
the trade channels Of these regions
annually and pass like so many
streams OF water onward, to be
swallowed up in the ocean of human.

the Orient, never to be recovered

Where does all the silver which i
sent to Asia go, after it passes int,

buried by the Hindoos, boarded i

have never been satisfactorily ar

clans are yet puzzled concerning tn

Mill Again.

The Midway mill started up again
Sunday after a several days en-
forced idleness, on ore from the
Douglass & McQuillan lease on the
Valley View. About 1900 tons will
comprise the run and it will take the
greater part Of a month. The late
RIM on Montana ore did not prove as
satisfactory as desired, owing to the
extremely heavy sulphuretic eondi-
ton of the ore, but the mill people
claim that by the addition OF a
rooster, the mill can work that ore
up to the standard.

Oldest Coin In the World.

An archaeological find of the
greatest interest has just been
made by Pastor Lohlnann, 'thair-
man OF the German Society FOR
Scientific Research in Anatolia.
During his recent journey in north
Syria coin of pure silver. excel
lently preserved, was offered to
him, which. on examination,
proved to bear perfect Arame-
an inscription Of Panammu Bar
Rarub. king of Schamol, who
reigncd 500 years before Christ.
II is the oldest known coin in the
world. Up to the present the Eyd-
ians have always been regarded
as the inventors of money, but
this new find shows that the Sc
mitic Arameans, who lived two
centuries before the Lydians, are
the oldest eoiners of money. !
