Gold Helping Silver.
Editorial Los Angeles Mining Rcview.)

Editorial Los Angeles Mining Rcview)
 The steady and large increase il
 the worlds production of gold i:
 having an appreciable effect upon
 the value of silver. This is some.
 thing that has escaped the attention
 of our political economists. The
 price of silver has made a remark.
 able advance during the last twelve
 months, but the advance is not alto. gether due to coinage requirements in this country or elsewhere. One cause of the advance is that gold is being produced, proportionately, in greater quantity than is silver, and the more gold there is produced the higher will the price of silver go.
 The value of any staple commodity is determined by the abundance or scarcity of such commodity,-thcr being standard by which it's value is determined. In the case of silver, its value is determined by gold-the worlds standard of value. If the production of gold increase in a ratio greater than the production of silver it is a self-evident truth that the price of the scarcer metal will ad- vance. In other words, and to it. lustrate: If gold production i'm creases within given period 150 per cent. and silver production in- creases during the same period only 9 per cent. it is clear that the pur- chasing power of silver will become greater. Such are the conditions that prevail, and that have prevailed during the last fifteen years. That the production of silver might be in- creased, or that the annual supply of gold may fall off are possibilities that we are not here concerned with; we are dealings with things as they are and not as they might be or may become. Let us take figures of gold and silver production in 1890 and compare them with those of 1904; they will diagram what we are en- deavoring to make clear:
 In 1890 the worlds production of gold was 6,591 ,46O ounces; in 1904 it was I6, 793,4l9 ounces, an increase | during the fifteen years of 154 5-6 per cent.
 In 1890 the worlds silver produc- rion was 134, ,403, ,1O4 ounces: in 1904 it was 168, ,493, ,538 ounces an increase during the fifteen years of 9 1-3 per [ cent.
 As seen, the percentage of gold in- crease during the last fifteen years has been six times greater than sil- ver's increase.
 If the same ratio in increases were maintained during the next fifteen years, or for even a shorter period, it is easy to conceive that what is meant in the expression ''16 to l" will be fully realized.

The Romans as Winners.

Very often it is asserted that we do not understand the reduction of ores as thoroughly as did the ancients. In this connection the Rio Tinto of Spain, the most ancient mine in the world, is pointed to. To prove the case, the slag from the Roman smelters, made over 1000 years ago, is exhibited, and it proves to be as clean as that produced today. But this does not, however, prove that the smeltingspractice of the Romans was as good as today, but rather that the party who makes the claim is probably very poorly informed, and his knowledge of copper, atleast, linn tied. That the smelting practice of the Romans was good, at least the best in the world at that time, there is no doubt. The fact that the slags are clean is doubtless due to the fact that these slags have been exposed to the elements for over twenty cent uries and that they have heen leached of their copper content during that period as much of the lower grades of ore from the mine is leached at the present time, the copper being precipitated 6pon scrap iron.
 The highest grade of ore mined is, probably, 6 per cent-it is possible that. the Romans enjoyed a higher percentage;1 but that the Romans could mine in today in competition with the modern blast furnace, and by their anticipated methods, is so preposterous as not to be even con- sidered by serious men.

Installation of a fourth furnace and addition to the cOncentrator, doubling it's capacity, both of which will be completed within three or four months, will materially increase the capacity of the works and insure a monthly production of $500, ,OOO pounds, or more, of copper. Devel- opment on the 14th level will be pushed as rapidly as possible with the expectation of opening sulphide ore bodies of importance and effect a corresponding decrease in the ship ments of sulphides from the Copper Queen and concentrates from Naco- zari.

He who was greater than man, the remembrance of whose advent was celebrated two days ago deep in the

But when thou makest a feast call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind; and thou shalt be blessed: for they cannot recompense thee.'' The New York clergyman who thus
 honored the Masters command has been dismissed by his congregation.
