Says the Price of Silver Due to Spec
 ulation.

A New York City special says: Ed ward Brush, vice president of the American Smelling & Refining con- pany and a recognized authority on silver, summarized the silver situation in an interview with the Wall Street Journal as follows:
 "The recent abrupt rise in silver prices was due, in my estimation, wholly to speculative causes which have no direct relations with demand and supply. The bears sold without expecting to be compelled to make ac- tual deliveries and found that the h. dia Specie bank had effected a practi- cal corner in spot silver. As result spot advanced to 9 5Sd. an ounce, while futures only went to 24 3-4d.
 Naturally the Specie bank could not have made the corner and pinched the bears unless the silver surplus had been somewhat curtaiIed, and unless the banks packers had strong belief In silver's future. The bank has now probably somewhere around 10000. 900 ounces of the metal in its vaults, which must be realized upon, and is undoubt- edly counting upon the Indian govern ment to enter the market as a buyer this fall. The government has not bought silver for about three years, and if it becomes a purchaser the price will very likely go to 50 cents an ounce.
 ''ln addition to the panic of 1897, which was reflected in India, that country has suffered from two famines with consequent dearth of exports and consequent accumulation of rupees in the governments hands. At one time the accumulation was as large as 52O,- GOO, ,000 rupees. At the present time it is 29O, ,OOO, 900 rupees. Before another year the point of chrores, or .0OOOO,- 900 rupees, will probably be reached, at which point the government is al ways buyer of the white metal.
 Everything in India depends upon the crops, and without question the India Specie bank investigated and found the crop situation satisfactory before cleaning up the spot silver.
 'The present fuctuation will have little matt r.al effect upon the produc. tion of silver, for the reason that in this country, with the exception of the Cobalt district, silver is chiefly pro- duced in conjunction with copper and -ad. Cobalt's highest production was about 25,OOO, ,OOO ounces per annum, and it is now producing somewhat less than this amount. Where silver occurs in the Cobalt district it occurs so richly that it could be mined with profit even if silver were selling at D cents an ounce. so it is clear that mar ket fluctuations can have little in- fuence upon production in this coun- try."

Where Mine Owners are Handicapped.


 The first annual report of the com mission of conservation for Canada contains the following reference to Co- bait silver ore and the district:
 ''In the case of our Cobalt silver ores the miners receive little more than the value of the silver contents in the high-grade ore Small allow ances are made on cobalt over per cent, and only a percentage of the sil yer contents in the low grade.
 "All low-grade ore is shipped to the United States, where it is used as a silicious Aux in the large lead smelt- CTS. The lead acts as a collector of the silver, and the cobalt and nickel is slagged off. It Is impossible to treat economically the low-grade ore in Can ada on account of the absence of large lead smelters in the vicinity of Cobalt. The mine owners at Cobalt are handi- capped by the following conditions, the smelters being situated some distance from the mines, high freight rates are charged by the railways for transpor- tation of the ore from the mines to the smelters.
 ''The freight rate on coal is high. Coal costs 6S per ton at Cobalt. Of this, 3.25S represents freight rates from Black Rock to Cobalt, distance of HIS miles. The cost of the coal, with freight rates from Pittsburg to Black Rock, distance of 270 miles, is 2.25S per ton. This shows that the freight rates from Black Rock are dis proportionately high.
 Small payments are made for the cobalt contents of the ore on account of the limited demand for that min eral.
 "The arsenic is of little value after being refined on account of its being produced some distance from the mar ket (the market is east of Chicago in the United States), and the United States railways give very much lower rate on arsenic produced in the West ern states than the rate obtainable Tn Canada. Arsenic shipped from Can ada is charged fourth-class rate, while arsenic from Utah and Montana is charged 3.33S of the sixth rate class The latter rate is about one-half the former"
 Dr. Eugene Haanel, director of the mines branch of the department of mines, Ottawa, who read the paper dealing with minerals before the com mission, then suggested a government testing plant. Out of it arose a very keen and bitter controversy, the echoes of which are hardly yet stilled. l. may be remarked in regard to smell ters that large per cent of the Cobalt ores are now going to Canadian smelt- CTS at Copper Cliff, Deloro and Thor old, that owing to electric and hy- draulic power the coal bill has been cut down very materially, and that concentrators in the camp are every day cutting down freight rates by re- ducing low-grade ores to concen- trateS.-EXchange

New smeIter is to EnIiven Shannon.

A Boston dispatch says: A new shelter will be erected near the Shan non mine in Arizona for joint use of the Shan non, Detroit and Arizona Copper con- panies. Officials of the three corpora tions have been conferring in New York since June 20, when Chairman Gill of the Arizona Co. reached this country from Scotland.

No Abatement in Work on smeIter.

During the hot weather the work on the new Needles shelter has not abated in the least. Work is being rushed as fast as possible on the build ings and the machinery is being as- sembled as fast as the work on the buildings will allow. Six new fur naces are being added to the two all ready used by the old shelter com pany, and a large reduction plant is being added to the furnaces. When completed it will be one of the most complete plants in operation in the southwest.-Searchli5ht Bulletin.

Throughout State Outlook IS Good.

From all parts Of the state come the most cheering reports in regard to output, continuity of veins, rapid de- velopment, equipment and new strikes, says the Ely Record. Old timers, famous the world over for pro- duction running into the hundreds Cf millions, are being revived, and will soon be adding largely to the grand total of the states bullion output, while those of later date, and some un- heard of throughout the state, are rapidly forging to the front. In this class might be mentioned National, which two weeks ago shipped 10O,OOOS in golden bars, taken out by leasers and worked through primitive plant, and last week shipped l40,OO0S. Tono- pah is here to stay, and the recent large bodies of hIgh-g grade ore devel- Oped at depth iE her mines, gives her a standing among mining men second only to the Comstock. But everybody knows that Tonopah is the greatest silver producer on earth, so why say more? Goldfeld, with net earnings of three-quarters of a million dollars per month, and with 40-foot vein of ore on the SOO-ft. level averaging from ZOOS to l,0O0S per ton. Pause and think a moment and let this fact soak into your cranium, and then remem- Der that it takes time to develop even gold mine. In a few years, with adequate facilities for treating her ores, Goldfield will dOubly discount its only starting on a career of production for which there is no comparison in all history. Nevada Hills, almost for gotten since the panic, is again in the limelight with picture ore running h. to the thousands. The rich lead has been picked up beneath the fault, and the mine will soon again become famous. Seven Troughs is also there with the goods," producing ore aver aging better than eos as it is broken in the mines. Lucky Boy is shipping ore running in the hundreds by car load lots. Big mines are being brought in at Searchlight, and Pioche and Rawhide are making good. Ely, which commenced the production of copper only two years ago, is output ting at the rate of better than 70,0OO,- 900 pounds per year, and al lower cost than any other big producer in the world. But Ely hasn't commenced yet. Just wait a little while until the Giroux, Ely Consolidated, Ely Central, Boston Ely, Mcdonald Ely, Hidden Treasure, Turner Ely and many others arrive at the producing stage, and then there will surely be something doing on the copper market.
 These are only few of the many camps which will again make Nevada famous throughout the mining world. As a producer of precious metals Ne vada stands without rival in history, and it would indeed be a bold man who would attempt to prophecy its future. From present indications Ne vada will have more millionaires in ten years than can now be found on Broadway.

Clifford Pinchot, whose courageous
battle for the conservation Of natural
resources, has made him national fig
ure, strikes at the root of things when
he says that the brass bound collar of
privileges has become plain for all the
world to see upon the necks of trust
bred and trust-fed political leaders.
This movement that is called progress
sive, a movement not confined alone
to the Republican party, but which is
an expression of dissatisfaction with
the merciess rule of monopoly, de-
mands that special interests get out of
politics
When political leaders shamelessly
reveal to the people that they are con-
cerned only with the welfare of the
special interests, no matter what the
effect may be upon the nation as na-
tion or upon the mass Of people who
compose the nation, it is small wonder
that we find men falling away from
party regularity and holding citizen.
