If the prosperity that is looked
forward to during the coming year
materializes the people will have
great cause for rejoicing and es-
pecially those who are activel. en-
gagged in mining and with pros
perity in this industry it will per-
meate all other classes Of busi-
ness and trade. Added to this
will be large increase of the
tourists and automobilist during
the season. There will not only
be the natural increase of people
who have been figuring on noun
tain trips but will be largely a3g-
mented by the travel that will re-
suit from the closed conditions in
Europe on account of the war.

HEAVY SILVER PRODUCTION
Another Large Output for 1oI4-
All Records Would Undoubtedly
Have Been Broken but for the
European War.

The domestic production of silver
again reached a high mark in lel4.
The preliminary estimates of the
United States Geological Survey and
the Bureau of the Mint indicate an out
pnt of 81, 929, 7O0 fine ounces. valued at
$37 .z25. OOO. but the final figures may. be
somewhat over. This was again one
at the greatest outputs since the do
mestic production Of silver began, ac-
cording to H. D. McCaskey, of the
United states Geological Survey. In
1912, l913 and 1914 the highest record
outputs of quantity .have been made,
but, owing to the varying yearly aver
ag= prices for the metal, the value of
tee output has frequently in the last
rs years exceeded the value. of anyone
recent year.
Demana for silver from India and
China was disappointingly light in 1914.
and London stocks accumulated. result
ing in poor market. New York prices,
reflect ng these conditions, were gen.
orally ow, especially in the latter half
of the year. For fine bar silver the
price averaged 57.6 cents an ounce in
January, STE in February, SO in March,
3d. in April and 5s.l in May. In June
it dropped to 56.5. in July to SAT. in
August to s4.3. in September to 63.f,
in October to 5O.7 and in November to
49.1. The average for December was
about 4o.4 cents and Therefore the gen.
eral average for the year was only
about 54.s cents, CT the lowest since
1911.
The imports Of silver in 1914 were
valued at $25, 33l 900. as estimated
from the records of the Bureau If Do
mestio and Foreign Commerce. TIE
exports were valued at $50, 500, 900, or
SIS. 1863, 700 in sxcess Of the imports.
In 1918 the excess Of export, over inn
ports was SIS sos, sI2.
The imports Of silver in 1914 were, -as
usual, chiefly in ore and bullion and
n ainiv from Aexaco. which supplied
$l4, 1876. 600 in silver, and Canada, which
supplied $5,67s. COO.
