SILVER RAISES TO Sc 5-s.

Today the outlook for the silver
market is the best at any time since
the beginning of the European wa.
Manager Gilbert issued a letter to
shippers to the effect that the sill
yer refiners had been able to make
sales to the home government anu
foreign manufacturers at such fig
ures that the smelling companies
could make settlement from August
f2 to 10 inclusive at 56ss cents an
ounce, with favorable prospects for
strong prices for the future market.
The smelter is still making settle
ment on copper at the 10 cent rate.
AS yet this market is practically nom
existent but it is hoped that it, too,
will be adjusted before lbng. Smell
ter operators, mining men and busi-
ness men in general are exec .dingly
optimistic over the silver situation.
The following letter sent out to
shippers today by Manager F. C. Gil
bert of the local smelter, will be en-
couraging news to all residents of the
southwest:
August Goth, 1914.
Dear Sir:
We are advised today that the sill
yer refiners have been able to make
sales of silver to foreign governments
and to home manufacturers to the
amount purchased from the smelling
companies, between August 18th and
10th inclusive, at an average price of
fifty-six and five-eighths ($.56%)
cents per ounce, at which quotation
we will make settlement with Du-
range plant shippers on lots assayed
between the above dates.
We expect to get another quota
ton next week also representing an
average sales price. The rise in price
from 52c indicates a strong demand
and the outlook is favorable for in
creased prices which is very eacoYr-.
aging to shippers of silver. u
All smelters in the United States
use the same quotation which repre-
sents the sales of all the refiners
who are making united effort to
market their product on the most ia
vorable terms. Whatever figure the
refiners get for silver will be paid
the shipper, less the customary de-
ductions for smelling loss, refinery
and delivery. All shippers are thus
placed on the same basis, whether
large or small, and no possible ad-
vantage can be taken by the smelling
and refining companies in the fluc-
tutation of prices.
AS for number of years past, the
practice will be to market in given
period the same amount of silver as
purchased, thus equalizing the out
come whether the market rises or
falls.
Yours truly,
F. C. GILBERT,
Manager.

who lives at Aberdeen, has issued q
cali for q meeting of the committee
in Seattle, Saturday. October 8, when
q new state chairman will be elected.
As the once Of secretary has been va

be appointed. There promises to be
a clash between the old line Repub-

the committee, similar to the clash
at the state convention in Tacoma.
When the Democratic state central
committee will meet for organisation
Is not known. though Chairman
Hugh c. Todd is expected to issue

that there is liable to be more or less
of rumpus at this meeting, too. es-
