Silver and Lead Way Up

For the last ten days silver and
lead prices have gone skyward, much
to the Joy of miners and prospectors.
Silver touched 67s Saturday, the
highest point in ten years.
Lead has made "a still more phe
nomenal rise, going to So or the
highest point since 1876, thirty years
ago.
The reason alleged is that these
wet ores; 50 essential in smelling.
are needed by the great production
of dry ores from Arizona and New
Mexico.
The remarkable rise in price will
stimulate mining in Gunnison county
as the greater part of our mines and
prospects abound in these desirable
wet ores. for which an increased de-
mand and increased price is now
made

5 i. Chase of the Almont Quarry
company went out to Denver Monday
to secure chaneling machinery for
the sandstone. Contracts aud orders
are pouring in upon the company so
that not only one but several chan

merits are SO apparent that there
seems no doubt of continuous work

tects are considering it, providing
rates can be made as low as from
Bedford. Indiana.
Mr.. Chase tells News reporter
that at the quarry he now has a
working face 60x24 feet at one end
IA at the other, without seam or
flaw and of the purest white stone
imaginable.
