NEVADA TO HAvE.FEwER
SHEEP IN WINTER RANGE

The Salt Lake Herald Republican
recently printed the following story
which points out the reason sheep
men are looking upon Nevada as
an improbable winter grazing coun-
try:
Sheep from Utah ard Idaho are
being kept clear OF Nevada grazing
grounds this year, according to Salt
Lake sheepmen. Whereas last win.
ter fully 10000 sheep went into
Nevada from these two states, this
year less than $4,000 will go over
the border.
A reason for this falling OF In
the immigration Of fiocks is found in
the Increased grazing fees put into
effect by the last Nevada legislature.
The fee formerly was cents a
head, which the legislature increased
to Is cents a head, and with the tax
of cents a head, sheepmen are
compelled to pay, the total tax runs
up TO 22 cents per head. This rs
claimed to be prohibitiye for three
months grazing.
The Twin Falls. Ida, country is
getting large portion OF sheer
this winter. The sheep are being
fed instead Of grazed, and It is said
the expense is less than the cost OF
driving them to the winter range.
The focks, IL is said, promise to
come through in better condition
and with ,sss loss than under th,
grazing system.

PREDICTS SILVER
BOUND TO RISE

Silver is bound to go up, and the
western states in particular will be
wonderfully benefited thereby, ac-
cording to Solon Spiro, general mana
ger OF the Silver King Consolidated
Mining company, whose December
production was 1885 tons, estimated
at about $60,000. says the Salt Lake
Herald-Republican. Mr.. Spiro had
just returned from the coast and he
declares that the feeling there is op-
timistic in every line of industry, and
particularly with the mine operators.
Relative to the silver situation he
said:
II look for the advance of the price
of silver, my opinion being based on
many reasons Ninety per cent of the
worlds production of silver is con-
sumed in Britain. In times OF peace 1t
is distributed through many countries,
but right now Great Britain is hoard.
ing it. 1t is being held with the antici-
patton that it will be required as well
as gold after the war. 1t will take the
place of other circulating mediums
and answer in the liquidations ma
tional and private bond and other in
debtedness, or promises to pay.
THE current coin price of silver Is
equivalent to about s1.30 purchasing
power and it will replace much cur
rency. 1t will be accepted In England,
France, Germany and other nations
at probably s1.30 to $1.40 when
coined.
Nearly three-fifths of the silver
production of the world is used in the
arts. 1t is reasonable to assume that
at present there is no such proportion
going into this branch of industry.
81 do not say we shall have double
standard with silver at sixteen to one,
but there, will certainly be tremen.
