China's Coming Demands.

system Is certain TO follow the FURNISH
Ing OF financial assistance. While there
has been some discussion OF the pos
sibility OF the far eastern republic adopt

doubtful that this step will be taken,
owing TO the serious question now con-
cerning western world bankers respect

been depleted seriously by India's great
absorption Of the yellow metal In recent
years and will be affected further by
the movement of British nnanciers look

SILVER PICK GOES
To DEPTH FOR ORE
Fifth Level When Reached
VIII Be Given Attention
by Company.

The main shaft Of the Silver Pick Con-
solidated Is being sunk at good rate OF
speed, the work having been started at a
depth OF $50 feet, the former depth OF
the shaft. Nothing OF Importance has
been found In sinking and there has been
no expectation OF any developments In
the progress Of this work. At depth
of 500 feet a station will be cut and a
drift will be extended TO explore the vein
that has an easterly trend and in the
expectation that this work may locate the
point Of intersection of this vein with the
big ledge opened by workings OF the
Phelan lease.
A larger hoist will be Installed after
cutting the station on the 500 level and
the shaft Will then be continued to the
Phelan lease is Of excellent appearance
and at the point where II is now being ex-
plored on the l32-foot level some good
assays are being obtained and the vein
Is twelve feet wide. The vein is being
explored by drift and raises and shows
some soft material that 1t is believed may
make into ore at any time. The main
drift here is being driven TO the north.
Assays taken across the entire width of
twelve feet OF this ledge lately yielded 81
per ton and some assays OF small Wldth
have returned as high as 500 per ton.
This ledge has trend directly toward the
great ore body that has been exposed on

were employed on the property during the
earlier activities claimed to know where

or the manufacturing industries based
on mineral raw materials, ono o, the most
important Is the production OF Portland
cement. This is due not so much TO the
direct commercial value OF the finished
product. though the output OF Portland
cement in the United States Is now worth
somc $50. 100000 or 10000. 900 q year,

enters into general industry. Practically
all our great engineering works are COM

of the larger buildings everywhere arc

smaller individual lots, but In a vast ag-
gregate, cement finds use on farms, In
mining work, In building railroads and
irrigation works. as a paving material,
and in countless applications elsewhere.
