it seems certain that the branch will

BRIGHTER OUTLOOK
FOR Silver Mines
OF This COUNTRY

All the reports tend to show that
there is an ever increasing demand
for the white metal, and to the sill
vel mine owners of the west the
outlook for higher prices is promising.
General Frank Hall says that in re-
cent statement by Vice-president Ed
ward Brash of the American Smelling
& Refining company, who is recognize
I'd as one of the best informed men
in the metal industry, to this effect.
During the famine and commercial de-
preston in India, extending over the
last two or three years, the currency
department. received back from circu-
ation coined rupees In enormous qua
titles, and the accumulation last fall
at one time was approximately 400,-
300, 900 rupees.
By the latest reports this accumula-
tier has been reduced in period of
about six months to approximately
27O,0OO,0O0 rupees. The gold i'll the
reserve fund was used by the India
| government to uphold the gold parity
If the rupee and the gold hoard was
exchanged for rupees until there was
an accumulation of 125,00000 coined
rupees, virtually all of which have
now been paid out, and gold again
substituted in their place. India there
for, seems to have taken into circula-
tion from the currency department
and the approximately 250,000 900 ru
pees, leaving in the currency depart
ment about 270 100000 rupees.
The custom of the India govermen,
in the past has been to begin coin
ling rupees when the accumulation Ii
the currency department was reduc
ed to 100,000,000 RUPEES. 1t will bt
seen, therefore, that further de
cline Of 17O,0OO,O00 rupees which i,
approximately only the amount takke
into circulation during the last thre,
months. will bring the currency de
part,nent of India to the point of be
i ing obliged to again buy silver 70
coinage for a period of about thre
years, and II the present decline ii
the reserve continues it will resul
, in the India government buying silve
before the fall months arrive. Thi
will be the most notable event il
the silver market which has happier

WiTCHER'S APPOINTMENT
MADE PERMANENT 7

A. B. Witcher has at last stated
that he would accept the position of
state bank examiner and instead of
his appointment being only temper
airy one it has been made permanent,
says the Carson News. This action
was taken at the last meeting of the
board of bank commissioners at the
instigation of Bank Commissioner Bel
ford, who, it is rumored, made the
statement that the board could not
afford to take chances on a position

sioner, and if Mr.. Witcher did not
want the position it was best for him
to step out and let some one else
be appointed. The matter being put
un SO squarely to Mr.. Witcher, he
stated that he would accept the ap
pointment and the matter was set
tied.

Advices received from the Meadow
Valley wash, the scene of the recon-
struction work on the Salt Route, Is
to the effect that here is a gap of
about eight miles yet to be closed
before Caliente and Los Angeles are
again linked with bands of steel
a regular train schedule between
Caliente and Salt Lake was inaugu-
rated last Saturday, on which date
the track north of Caliente was
paced in condition for train service.
The construction forces which had
been working for the past two months
ON that wing of the washed-out dis

are now employed. At the the pres

RATE REDUCTION
ON NEVADA NORTHERN

The Nevada state railroad commits
sion, in session at Carson City last
week, acted upon the advice Of the
Ely Record and issued an order to
the Nevada Northern railroad to
make general reduction of 22h per
cent in freight rates between Cobre
and Ely. The new rate is to be ef-
fective at once, whether or not an
appeal is taken by the railroad from
the ruling of the commission.
Manager Cannon has announced
that the order made by the railroad
commission was agreed to by the
board before 1t was passed, and Is
satisfactory to the railroad company
but that it cannot be made operative
for at least two months, that time
being required to rearrange the tar
iff schedule. The rate will not ap
ply to ore shipments.

The Gold Chief company has Just

INTERNATIONAL Will
Be RUNNING
EARLY IN JULY
Special Correspondence

SALT LAKE CITY, May 1s-The
big tram over Clipper peak to the
international smelter In Pine canyon
has been tried out and It works per-
fectly.
The tram is one OF the largest and
most expensive In the west. Ita build
ing was accomplished In spite or
many obstacles. From the Bingham
side to the top of the mountain Z
wagon road was run. On account OF
the severe winter this could only be
kept open few hours out Of the day.
On the Tooele county side It was necs
essary to transport all the material
by pack animals. The Is towers set
In concrete bases were huge task
for contractors. The freezing wealth
er made this part of the work ex-
tremely slow.
The hauling Of ore over the tram
will not start at full capacity but a
limited amount will be put In the
cars. Greater energy will be devot.
ed to development work. 1t il the
intention to fill the bins OF the Inter-
national smelter before the plant IL
blown In. Besides this. 1t is under
stood that the smelter people wish to
have several thousand tons of ore on
hand when they start. in order to
be safe in case Of any accident. The
new tram can furnish ore at the rate
OF 1900 tons a day The contract calls
for 1900 tons.
According to one of the smelte,
representatives the plant is almos,
completed, but 1t will not be ready
to run before July.

Pick Good Men.

It is beyond question that the
good roads movement would be ma
terially encouraged and the high
ways greatly improved throughout
the state if every town would exer-
else more care in selecting highway
commissioners. The man seeking
the office purely for the money that
is in it should be turned down, and
turned down hard, and it is folly to
elect a man Just because he happens
to be a mighty good fellow.
HaphaZard methods of road build
ing are past and as a consequence
the public highways of Vermont are
steadily and noticeably improving,
If every community will see TO it in
choosing the road commissioner that
grafters and good fellows are brush
ed one side and only good men elect
ed improved highways will come
quicker. Pick men with energy and
common sense, men who will con
scientiously and faithfully follow
prescribed systema tic methods and
goods roads will be ours if it does
take time.-St, Adams Messenger

Vermont
For fifty years Vermont has been
educating her young people away
from the farms. They have been
taught that the hardships Of farm life
are greater and the returns less than
in other walks of life This has
turned out to have been false doc
trine. Common knowledge in the
case is borne out by the records of
probate courts for terms of years
that the men who have remained on
farms have averaged more prosper.
Gus and successful than those who
have gone into the cities and large
towns
There may not be the opportunity
for great financial successes on the
farms but less than one per cent
ever reach what might be called
marked financial success anywhere
and the average for men of ordinary
ability is in favor of the farm, even
with the low prices that have pre-
vailed for the past % years, while
now with prices of farm products ap
parently up for good the advantage
to the farmer is so marked as to be
fairly startling.
1t is certainly high time that the
schools instead of educating young
people away from the farms began tC
teach something of the advantage
and opportunity which they Offer
and that is the theme which is being
exceptionally well presented by Mr.
