REASONS FOR DROP OF FOUR
CENTS SINCE JANUARY.

Modena, March 31.-The Apex mine near
st. George. at Shem City has imported a
lot of Austrian miners who are said to
be the evicted citizens of what was for
merly the Little Bohemia of Bingham,
and that another crowd is to follow the
first one. The first crowd consisted of
some twelve or fourteen. and it is re-
ported that this innovation on the part
Of the Utah AZ Eastern company is not
likely To be viewed with much favor in
Washington county.
The news of the new companies being
formed by Charles A. Short and ASSOC
ciates at Salt Lake City to develop
additional ground at Gold Springs, is
hailed with much satisfaction, as all the
ground is known to be good and the max
ing of great mines. The energy of Mt.
Short i'm bringing the Jennie out hand
sOmely has led to a preference for him
over and above those half-hearted indi-
Viduals who in the past have had a de
predatory opinion to voice when the field
of Mr.. Short success was mentioned and
now doubtless will prove their hardness
in reading the signals of success when il
is too late.

NEVADA HILLS LODE
TRACED BY ENGINEERS

The development of pl GPCrtles in the
Fairvicw district has been "A source of

proven conclusively that the greatest
known lead has been traced in its entire
ty clear across the district, says the Fair

has been discovered one or more main

least two. but the one which is best
known and most fully proven is the great
Nevada Hills lead.
Opened originally on the Nevada Hills
property, it has been picked up in many
places, until now a study of the map will
reveal il as plainly as a well-laid-OUt

WHITE METALS DECLINE
AND REASONS FOR 1T

There has been quite a reaction in the
price of silver since the first Of the year.
and unless the conditions which are re
spons'ble for the decline cease, the quo
tatiOn may again slip to 30 cents or even
60 cents per fine ounce IN New YORK
within the next few months, says the
Western Mining World.
On January the selling price. was 40
cents, which excepting ~ cents On NO
vcmber IL, last year, is the highest since
1893 when the Sherman act was repealed,
and the Indian minis were closed to the
free coinage of silver.
On March 20, 1907, the quotation dropped
TO 6611 cents. which is 324 cents less than
the high price of January Z.
Two important factors, partly explain
ing the weakness In the market, are the
heavy falling off in the purchases OF Sill
yer by India. a country that usually con-
sumes the bulk of the world supply;
and the steadily increasing output OF the
new Cobalt district in Ontario. during
recent years by far the larger part of the
worlds production of silver has been re
covered in the refining Of other metals,
notably copper and lead. But now that
the Cobalt mines are being energetically
developed, it is probable that silver as a
primary product will again take its place
with gold. From its discovery, few
years ago. to the end of 1906, the Cobalt
district produced S,0l6,O6l ounces OF sill
yer. In 1906 alone the output was $780,
$50 ounces, and in another year or two
the total should not be far from 100000
or 100000 ounces.
The opinion prevails that China. at one
time a large buyer is now unloading
quantities of silver on the market. To
be sure. not all of this silver is for spec
ulative purposes, for China is accustomed
to liquidate its Indebtedness with that
metal Nevertheless. when the market
is uneasy. as at present. the sight of new
supplies is likely to cause a fluctuatlon
in price. Perhaps when Mexico. which
has already bought some silver in the
United States to be coined into pesos on
the gold standard basis. re-enteTs the
market for about 100000 ounces. prices
may again rally. The United States mint
is stiIl buying silver, but as the amount
is limited 10 100000 ounces at one pur-
chase. from one seller. there is little Op-
portunity to agitatc the market.
From mining centers we learn that some
of the old-time properties are again pro-
ducing silver but should the price con-
tinue to fall it is certain that work will
stop.
on the other hand. it is conjectured that
the American Smelling < Refining COM
panv, which practically has a dictatlVe
control of the silver market here and
also acknowledgements London buys nearly
all its supplies in the United States-will
endeavor to so fix prices that production
may not increase too rapidly. The smell

ROADS TO WONDER OPEN
AND RUSH Is NOW ON

Transfers and travellers report the ex-

Wonder and Fallon and state that they
are now i'm fine shape, saying that in
places the dust has begun to fly, says the
Wonder Miner
Their statements are borne out by the
fact that each day sees several automo-
bies, loaded with mining men. roll into
camp. Private rigs of all kinds are in
great demand and the stage is loaded
each day.
Reports from the outside state that
many are being kept out of camp by the
rumor that the roads are sin a miserable
condition. This is an impression that
should be corrected. The roads are prac-
tically free from mud and were never in
better condition for travel. Freight teams
are now plying between Fallon and Won
der and make the trip in good time with
heavy loads, each team pulling three or
four wagons without trouble.
