Regarding the present
conditions of the silver
market Royal NJ. Sawtelle
has given some of the
causes of the unprecedent
rise in the value of silver
bullion which has advanc-
ed from Al cents to nearly
80 cents an ounce.
To-day twenty seven
ounces of silver will buy
an ounce of gold. The
rise in the value of silver
is one of the most exciting
financial events of the
time. The causes are
known. The effects have
hardly begun to be felt.
They may project them
selves further into the fu-
ture than any one now can
see.
"Owing TO the revolu-
tons in Mexico-that
country being the largest
one source of supply-ad-
ditions to the worlds
stock Of silver for several
years have been diminish
ing, first relatively, then
actually. At the same
time, owing to economic
and financial phenomena
arising from the war in
Europe, the demand for

1.-TWO YEARS AGO IT TOOK FORTY PIECES OF SILVER

would be issued by the
Bank of England in order
to increase it's command
of gold reserve. In Rus
sia both paper and silver
money have been displac-
ing gold. Russia has been
a very heavy buyer Of sill
yer in China, and the ia
panese are coming it into
rubles for her.
Certain questions nat
urally arise. Why should
a government in which
the people have unlimited
confidence go to the trou-
BILE and expense of buying
silver for coinage? Why not go
on issuing paper money for cir
culation? Is not the fact that a
government is able to buy silver
proof enough Of its solyency?
And II 1t is solvent, why isn't its
paper good with its own people?
The answer is that money must
be related to people. Theory
alone will not suffice. Tradi-
tions, habits and prejudices have
to be considered. There is a lin
It to the amount Of paper mon
ey issued on the credit Of the
government that people will
freely accept. The limit is va
riable between different peo-
pie: 1t is probably much lower
in Russia than in France and
England. But with any people
there Is a more or less definite
ratio which metal money should
bear TO paper money.

Paper money has been in
creased enormously in Europe.
That circumstance alone would
call for a greater coinage of sill
yer. But it is probable that at
the same time people have been
boarding silver. That would be
only natural. Gold they are
forbidden to hoard; silver they
may. If they save at all they
would be at liberty to put sill
yer aside and spend the paper
money. Silver has an intrinsic
value and always will have. Pa
per money, no matter how much
confidence you have in it, is
open to risk. Silver in hand
would not be changed in value
by the outcome of war, where
as some Of the paper money now
appearing in Europe may be
greatly deprecated by the con-
ditions Of peace.

output, an extraordinary de-.
mand for purposes Of immedi-
ate coinage. and the inclination
Of people to value it more as

up. The effect upon the for
tunes OF the silver countries Of
the east, especially China, re-
mains to be seen. In the gold
prices Of the west the silver
money Of the Chinese will buy
today almost half again as
much as It would buy two years

PIONEER MINE OWNER
 PNEUMONIA VICTIM
CFrom Saturdays Daily.)

John Hanna, a pioneer resident oi Walker district, passed away yester- day at Mercy hospital, after a brief illness from pneumonia.
 In performing work on his group of mines he exposed himself to severe weather, and after being confined to his cabin for four days without medi' cal attention, was brought to this city early in the week, when his condition was pronounced as hopeless.
 Hanna for over quarter of a cen tury had been an industrious minei dcvoting all those years to getting his property in shape for selling. Ii is quite probable that success would have attended his efforts in a short time, as his group was to have been turned over to operators in. a few months. The deceased was a splcI- did citizen, O years of age, and a na- tive of New York. His only known surviving relative is a sister who re sides in the above State. The re- mains are at Ruffner's.

SECOND STORAGE
 DAM IS ASSURED
(From Thursdays Daily0

(From Thursdays Daily.)
 Construction of second water storage dam on Willow creek by the Hassayampa Alfalfa Farms Co. has been definitely decided upon. and work is to begin as soon as weather conditions will permit. was the im- portant announcement made yester- day by Jacob R. Finkelstcin, of Terre Haute. Ind. Mir. Finkelstein further stated: Our plans in colonizing the tract of over 10000 acres owned are rapidly materializing, and our affairs today are in healthier condition than at any time in the past three years.
 "The Willow creek unit in conser' vation is now a necessity, and While that on Granite creek is a splendid success. its capability is measured at about 800 acre feet, when filled. With Willow creek joined thereto, ample storage will be given for developing the full 10000 acres. Also will the latter storage have a greater surface area than that of Granite creek, and an ideal feature of this double storage is that both can be utilized for the same purposes, in case of one section of the watershed giving a minimum rainfall. This trip has been very rlcasing as well as satisfactory to me and associates. Lake Watson in the past two days has shown an increase i1 storage Of over five feet and oIf engineers now compute that it will b2 filled to the brim inside of the next five weeks. We all are very much elated over our interests. and propose to go ahead cnergetically and to the full limit in crystalizing plans SO long ago outlined"

Several mining men residing in this section, yesterday stated that Charles Wadleigh. among the American min ing men murdered in Mexico a few days ago, was quite well known in Yavapai county. and less than one year ago made trip of inspection to the Bradshaw country.
 Mir. Wadleigh many years ago, was a resident of Lynx creek, wnere with a brother. Frederick K. Wadleigh, they performed development on cer- tain properties. The company which they represented failed. when the de ceased went into the Southern Arr zona field. and later became interest eI in mines of Sonora. Fred Wad- leigh is now in Alaska, where he is associated with a large copper syndi- cate. Both brothers made several trips to the Vulture as well as the Bonanza in the Harqua Halas, which tkey endeavored to revive.

STRIKERS UNANIMOUSLY DECIDE TO ELIMINATE

Special to the Journal-Miner.

Specldl 10 the JOuTndi-MlntT-
 PHOENIX. Jan. ll-At the largest meeting yet held in the district, Cliff ton, Morenci and Metcalf strikers this afternoon voted unanimously to withdraw their charters from ths Western Federation of Miners and to ask the mines managers for another conference looking to settlement oi the strike. After surrendering thcir charters in the Western Federation, the strikers voted to apply to the State Federation of Labor for mem bership.
 The decision to completely eiunin- ate the Western Federation from the district was reached at a meeting of the executive committee last -igE' and the vote this afternoon was in unanimous approval of that action Surrender of charters held by the To calls in the Western Federation was hastened, it is believed by the out break yesterday, when L. A. Simmons, an employe of the Arizona Copper Company, was badly beaten up and taken to the hospital. Following the beating of Simmons the radical ele- ment lost ground rapidly with the strikers. and an immediate withdrawal from the federation was the result.
 Jonn L. Donnelly, a vice-presldent of the State Federation of Labor, Gd- dressing the men this afternoon eX- pressed the view that after they be- came members of the State Fedora tion, that if the company did not agree with their demands. they would make their cause the issue of the campaign.

 The executive committee of the State Federation of Labor today ap- proved the application made by the strikers committee several days ago. The question has been raised, how ever. whether an outlaw union should be admitted to the State Federation, irasmuch as the Clifton MorenciMet calf locals are now outlaws since sur rendering their Western Federation charters. In the meantime they will be temporarily admitted and the mat ter submitted to Samuel Gompers' president of the American Fedora. ton. from which the State organize ton holds its charter.

MONICA BULLION
 BEGINNING TO ARRIVE
CFrom Thursdayie Daiiy1

(From huTSday'e DailyJ
 Practical mining was again forcibly illustrated yesterday when w. w. Copp brought to the city bar of gold bullion, the first product of the Mon. ica mines, near Kirkland, since he as sumed charge few months ago, and which ne stated was satisfactory ln value.
 He took this group over individual ly. after a series of internal troubles had arisen among the former operat- CTS, i1 which a chaotic situation de- veloped to occasion uncertainty as tc the future of this desirable property, litigation ensuing among those inter ested at the time.
 Mir. Copp, who is elated over his holdings, said: "Tnis first product represents but the beginning of what I believe will be ultimately increased until the total output of the Monica reaches to fully $10,O00 per month in gold bullion. There are no associates with me, and there will be none. My engineers have carefully investigated conditions on the 600 and 700-foot lev els, and estimate l5,000 tons of ore as ready for breaking. In milling the heads gave SIS per ton, and with the cyanide recoveries, the two products conclusively gave a fair average of gold values and with the large ton, mage ready, without taking into con sideration what future development will return, I candidly believe this property is destined to be success
 Mir. Copp states the snow blockade and muddy roads shut off the fuel oil supply for the mill, but the compres. sor continued in action to drive drills. Tomorrow freignting resumes out Of Kirkland, and the mill starts to drop ping stamps. Water is now assured for all Summer. and the mine is cap able of keeping the plant going stead fly for months to come.
