LET CONGRESS
sE REMoNETIZE SILVER

Ihe price of silver is steadily ad-
vancing, and has now reached a point
higher than has been quoted. for
many years, and bids fair to reach
~ cents per ounce or more.
This rise in price is considered
stable by many leading financiers
for several reasons. There is a grow
ing spirit among the European coun-
tries now at war, for the return of
bi-metallism, and this spirit becomes
more manifest as the war is pro-
longed. All these countries are now
in the market for silver to redeem
their paper currency that has recent
tion of trade, and which must event
ualy be redeemed in stable money.

pecially in India and China, is MOI =

F|vE.|NCH STREAK OF TUNGSTEN
OPENED UP IN PIONEER Tunnel

Tungsten has undoubtedly been en-
countered in the Pioneer tunnel at
Bennett, m the Pine creek section.
This has been determined to the sat
isfaction of men well versed in met
allurgy. Numerous tests of the black
mineral taken from the Pioneer have
been made and pronounced to con
tain tungsten in high quantity.
Geo. Kimball and DR.. A. Ashbaugh,
of Idaho Springs, made a trip to the
Pioneer Monday and brought some
OF the ore in with them for a test
at j. S. Kimball's and learned of the
presence of tungsten. Tuesday, G.

the breast of the drift and knocked
off number of samples. Mr.. Adams
made several tests on these sam
pies and informed the Observer that
there can be no mistake of the Pio-
neer having streak of tungsten
ore.

run on the vein from the tunnel and

PROTEST AGAINST DEN-

an old maxim that applies to the Den

THIS bill incorporates Gilpin Clear

national park for the benefit of the
tourist. This section includes much
OF the most valuable mining portion
of the state. and the mining chap
ters within this jurisdiction should
fully advise our senators and con-
gressmen that they may be pre-
pared to combat the bill when
brought up for passage.
The Denver contingent. who favors
its passage for selfish motives, will
try to explain shat this bill is not
intended to interfere with the rights
os mining, but act as its assistant,by
bringing tourists into the state. This
sep, given to aprease the mining in
terests should not in the least be
countenanced

SILVER

II silver gees to 6OA cents per
ounce after tie g-e:t bankers of New
York and London have done their ut
most for fortyfour years to- decry
and degrade it, ard to teach fools
that to think of it as a money metal
would faint their minds, what would
happen were congress to have an
inspiration, decide that our country
has been robbed and wronged long
enough. and pass law instructing
the mint to receive silver at one
dollar per ounce ard to treat it at
that price precisely as silver was
accepted prior to 1873 and make it
a legal tender for adj debts, as 1t
formerly was. Goes anyone doubt
that it would not Re worth one dol

So long as silver had that recogni-

1t was the stead.er metal OF THE two;
were legal recognition restored to
1t, the same results would follow. Is

RARE METALS ORE COMPANY

This is a new corporation, organiz
ed by Guilford S. Wood, Irving T.

we'll known successful mining men Of
Denver The capitalization is for
100000 shares of 81 par value and full

The company is erecting mill at
Rollinsville, a station on the Moffat
Road in northern Gilpin county, Colo.
and proposes to sample, purchase and
concentrate all grades of tungsten
ore. The mill will be complete in
every particular and will embody the
most approved units for concentrat-
ing tungsten minerals.
Special attention has been given
to the sampIng department which
will be the most complete in the
state. Producers of ores may dispose
OF their lots to this company with
full satisfaction that they will re-
ceive just treatment not only in the
process of sampIng but also in the
settlements. Miners Of Colorado are
familiar with the personality of Mel
son Franklin who will apply the same
methods Of square dealing in this
plant as have for years characterized
his management OF the Eagle Samp-
Ter, at Victor. Mr. Franklin former
ly conducted an ore-purchasing busi-
ness in Gilpin county but has spent
the past 16 years in the Cripple
Creek district.
This mill is expected to cost about
$50, 900 and will be the only tungsten
ard-gauge railroad, making it possi-
BILE for the company to receive con-
signments from adj districts in the
United States.

THE FUTURE MONETARY
STATUS OF SILVER

Continued advance in the price of
silver is in response to the finan-
cial situation of the nations now in
volved in war and their dependencies.
The improvement is not unexpected.
although, on the other hand, there
are many who have anticipated a
more pronounced advance. A price
OF 70 cents an OF. is a reasonable
prediction which is heard in many
quarters. The element of doubt in
the situation is the future relation
ship Of silver to the currency of
the several principal nations. If the
price of the metal is to be stabilized
as result of the necessities grow
ing out of the war, the virtual effect
is RECOMMENDATION. Stabilization and
remonetiz atom are p acti; ally ore and
the same thing, for we cannot have
one without the other. II a large
measure of dependence is to be plac-
ed upon silver in the currency sys-
tens of the European nations, a de-
mand for bi-metallism is apt to arise
among them. The question then will
be, what win be the position of the
United States when the matter of
introducing silver as a money stand
ard is fairly presented? 1t is because
of our doubt as to the willingness of
the banking interests of the United
States and of the members of con-
gress to reopen the subject of cur
rency legislation, even in the face
Of disturbance abroad, that we eN-
press so much uncertainty concern
ing the future status of the white
metal. To remonetiZe silver, even
at a ratio of 32 to 1, would be pre-
cisely contrary to the tendencies of
currency legislation and currency sys-
TENS heretofore. Indeed, there is
a strong party of economists who ad-
vocate the restriction of the gold
standard, or rather the shifting OF
the money standard to broader
commodity basis controlled by the
banks through tie medium of COM
mercial and industrial credit. If this
be the tendency Of the future, we
will then be left to found our hope
os good price for silver upon the
usual market influences. The metal
will hold high price because the
requirem ents of the world are in
creased, not because any additional
monetary quality has been bestowed
upon thinning American.

and found float that resembled tung-
stem, but that he made no tests at
that time. But the discovery of tung-
stem in the Pioneer leads him to
believe that there is tungsten on
other ground surrounding the Pho
neer.

day the following schedule on all lots
of ore or concentrates, seven tons
dry weight or less:
Ores: Pay full schedule price of
open or contract, as the case may be
if the shipper holds a contract pay
contract; If open market shipper pay
open market rate. Sampling charge
of $500 per lot if seven tons or un-
der, dry. weight.
Concentrates: Apply above sche-
dule as in ores. Sampling charge of
fifty cents per ton with a minimum
charge of 5000
Freight Rates: Apply maximum
rate per ton, unless the car load
rate is better for the shipper of the
