steady growth of the interest in base

the present seating capacities of their
stands.

WHY INDIA CALLED
SILVER CEMETERY
Lack of Adequate Investment
Facilities Causes the Burial
of the Metal.

THE expectation OF good crops in India
is having n very salutary effect upon tho
price of silver, and as you go back into
history you will find that india for many
centuries has been the principal factor
in the silver situation" said n well
known Salt Lake mining operator. who
likes to dig up items relative TO metals
which the less inquisit,ve would allow 10
lie buried undisturbed.
But the demand for silver in India has
not always boon received with gladnesS
as IL is today. As far back as 20 a. u.
we find that the Romans were sorely
Sricyed that such large amount OF their
silver was being drawn into India lmas
inc any such complaints today! india
has no adequate means Of Investment for
the countless hordes or its citizens. so tho
only univerasl savings bank In that land
is personal boards OF silver. They bury
the metal and when it Is once buried the
metal seldom is cXhumed-
our government has published very
interesting account OF this extensive
boarding OF silver. pointing out that the
boards are something sacred They have
been accommodating for ages. and are
handed down from generation TO genera =
ton very much as family pictures arc
handed down In our own land IT is a
point OF personal honor with the native
OF India not to disturb his ancestors
buried metal and when In times OF great
want, they would rather borrow than
draw on the hidden supply. You readily
can sec, therefore. why India has been

VIII learn that gold is much better for
boarding; then silver will be in bad
way.
'"There arc only few small states now

Its application in the arts. This latter
may be considered a luxury. and the de-
mand and price arc regulated entirely by
