DEMAND FOR SILVER

According to the report of Consul
General William H. Michael, represent
ing the United States at Calcutta, the
total value of silver sent to India for
circulation in 1905 was $37, 800. 900 and
up to the end of September of last
year it was. for 1906, s62, 100000. He
points out that India absorbed half of
the worlds total output. which is 170,-
900, 900 ounces, of which 60, 900. 900 are
used in the arts. leaving only $4,000. 900
for circulation in the rest of the world,
and he suggests that there is no reason,
therefore. to be surprised at the steady
increase in the price of silver. AS
trade continues to develop in India, with
the continuous demand in China, he pre-
diets a still further rise.
Now II the United States would enter
the market as a regular purchaser of
the white metal, the great silver mining
interests Of American would see them
selves firmly intrenched and an immense
sum would be added to circulation in
this country. The admission the other
day, which Senator Newlands forced
Senator Aldrich to make, that silver
coinage in the United States was less
than the demand, ought to point out to
the dominant party in America the in
justice 1t is doing in continuing the
policy of decentralization. The small
purchases directed by the secretary of
the treasury recently are not enough.
They are too insignificant to have any
economic effect. What Is required is
the legalized purchase of a specific
quality of silver bars at stated times
during the year.
Since it is proved by the administra-
TONS own correspondence from India
that augmented trade will call for
half the worlds output in that country,
and since the development of commerce
must steadily increase the demand for
the metal in China and other silver
using countries, it seems to us that. not
merely as a matter of justice to a
wronged industry. but as a plain bust
ness proposition, the United States
should now make arrangements to
secure a steady supply. Natural condi-
tons. as Senator Newlands pointed out
in congress, are. in the meantime, bring
ing about the real parity of gold and
silver, and. whether the Republican
party shall object or not the cause of
bi-metallism is sure Of victory.-Reno
Journal.

lately acquired by the Gold Mountain
Mines Corporation, who are prospecting
prior to sinking a 100-foot shaft. He
states that since his last trip down there
about a month ago, there has been a
tremendous development of activity on
the part of prospectors and mine-own-
ers all through that section of the dis
trict. Shooting was heard from the
hills In all directions from this camp,
which Is about four miles west of the
Bullfrog & Goldfeld railroad, and was
much in evidence every day that he was
in the vicinity.
The indications are that several good
mines will very shortly be opened up in
this section-it being directly in line
with the Nevada Goldfeld." Butte

an average assay on seven grab SAM
pies from the surface returned him over
9 per cent. A very fine specimen of ore
from Mr.. Potter's property, carrying
gray copper, is on exhibition at the
office of Belden. Daimpre & Won Dohlen.

1ICEEY TALKS or
NANIATTAW CONSOLIDATION

r. B. Hickey Of the State Bank and
Trust company was in Goldield last
Saturday and Sunday and left for Tono-
pah Monday morning. The purpose of
Mr.. Rickey's visit was to up the
matter of ~reorganizing the Sullivan
Trust company. A new board Of direc-
tors of the Trust company has been
elected: also new directorates for the
various mining properties which it con-
trolls. The new men are all men of
standing and will have the confidence of
the public.
Mr.. Hickey says the properties Of the
company are looking much better tina
he expected and he believes any one of
three or four of the mines will pay the
entire indebtedness Of the company.
There Is also a movement o n foot to
merge some Of the Sullivan properties.
Speaking of the proposed merger Mr..
Hickey said:
I'm the Manhattan district there is a
proposition on foot to form a combina-
tion Of different mines. and the Sullivan
holdings will take in some Of the best
properties in the district. No. 1t is en-
tirely different from the proposed mer-
ger of the properties on Litigation hill.
so-called. All the Sullivan mines are on
Gold Hill. but further than this I do
not think 1t wise to discuss the pro-
posed consolidation now"
Mr.. Hickey said the company was re-
ceiving hundreds Of letter applying for
stock In the mining companies every
day. which he considered was most fav-
orable.

STRIKES AT
SEVEN TROUGHS

The Signal Peak strike apparently
means another shipper. Local Manager
Mcintyre reports that at a depth of
forty feet in the shaft he has uncov-
cred in shipping quantities ore hat goes
better thar SIS per ton.
The Pyper strike consists in the dis
covery OF a very rich gold-bearing ledge
on grounds belonging to Mr.. Piper back
OF the famous Mazuma-Hilis property
and a mile north of Seven Troughs.
The Cole strike sums itself up In the
discovery OF the main ledge on the Cole
lease of the Thor claims a quarter OF a
mile down the canyon from Seven
Troughs. There is a stringer in this
ledge from which Mr.. Cole has secured
assays going better than 5000 per ton.
Around Vernon on the south end of
the district mineral strikes and great
activity prevails. A stampede ten miles
to the south where prospectors are open
ing up a new rich gold territory occu-
pied the early part of the week Much
country was staked. This new country
will be tributary to Vernon and prop
erly belongs to the Seven Troughs Min
ing district.
Right on the town limits Of Vernon
several important strikes have occurred
of late. Important among these Is the
discovery of a fine quartz vein on the
Annie and Josie claims with average
assays running into the hundreds. Not
less important is the continued expo
sures of rich gold quartz on the Buck
horn partially owned and manage by
Mr.. Moler. These discoveries are re-
yealing a territory whose richness is
exceeded by no property in the camp.

very rich ground. The Seven Troughs

recently. About three weeks ago he had
occasion to visit Manhattan n one or
two other Nevada camps to examine
certain properties whose purchase his
company was contemplating. and on that
trip he heard Of Skiddoo. Failing to find
anything to his liking in the other
camps he came on to this place out of
curiosity. and says 1t looks good enough
for them to stay with. He says 1t dis
counts every gold camp in the desert

1t is too early yet to say whether the
Lindblom millions will be used to pur-

will be required to study the situation
but they have unlimited capital to han
die any proposition they may decide
upon. AT any rate, Mr.. Lindblom says
they are in here to stay and do bust

A SERIOUS FIRE IS
AVERTED
FIRE IN ASTORIA BOX COMPANY'S
DRY KILN MEANCES THE WHOLE
PLANT YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
LOSS WILL NOT EXCEED 5000.

Yesterday afternoon, at l:3O, what
threatened to be serious coniagration'
broke out in the dry kiln OF the As
toria Box Company, in Upper Astoria.
Smoke was discovered issuing from the
ventilators of the building and it was
seen that the building was on fire. The
mill hands manned the hose cart sta
toned at the mill and soon had line
of hose stretched from the hydrant, at
the entrance to the yard. In the mean
time an alarm was sent in from Box ID,
and the department was Immediately on
its way to the scene. 1t was long run,
but made it in splendid time, and the
department saw that quick work was
necessary. Three additional streams were
soon in operation and holes being cut
in the roof, the building was flooded.
The mill hands were able allies to the
department. working like heroes. The
cars, loaded with lumber, were run out
OF the kiln, to make a way through the
building, while the fremen worked on

the root. After an hours stubborn
fighting the fire was subdued. The cause
of the fire is supposed to have been
caused by overheating. 1t is probable
that some sawdust laying on the lum-
Der ignited and the opening OF the doors

famed the incipient flame. The damage
was confined to the lumber on the tops
OF the piles and to the ceiling and roof,
much of the fire being under the roof.
The total loss will probably not exceed
$500.
After the apparatus had been loaded,
to leaves the scene, another fire was
discovered in the sawdust, under the
mill. Chief Foster soon had it sup
pressed with the aid hand extinguish-
ers, and all danger was over.

LUSITANIA STIRS CANADIANS.

OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. 2.-The Domin-
ion government is closely following the
reports and comments of experts on the
success of the Lusitania, with view tc
giving information as to the feasibility
of establishing "a or 25-knot Atlantic
Canadian service, as contemplate in the
Ali Red Line project. If the new steamer
proves to be the success anticipated an
additional stimulus will be given to the
proposal to place similar line of steam
e1s on the route between Canada and
England. So far no further word has
been heard from the British Government
relative to the amount of the subsidy it
is prepared to grant for the establish
ment OF the fast service.

SOUTH BEND, WASH, Oct. 2.-The
steam schooner j. B. Stetson, which
loaded lumber at Raymond for San
Francisco and which was scheduled to
sail Sunday afternoon, ran aground in
the lower channel on her way to sea
about 4 o'clock Sunday. Her captain
was out of the channel fully 100 feet
when she struck the tug Astoria, and
the steamer Reliable at once dispatched
to the scene and tried until after dark
to get her off, but unsuceessfully. Mon
day the ship had not moved on the high
tide. So the work of tightening her was
begun and something like 1000 ties were
unloaded on scows and she was then
pulled off the mud, Yesterday she was
reloaded and left port on the tide this
afternoon.
