afford an excellent stope Meanwhile
Superintendent Cole is driving the
crosscut ahead and the face is now
in lime that is striated with pure
silica, while the entire magma is
partly replaced with quartz
Great interest attaches to the west
crosscut. The round of holes last
Saturday broke into a new water
pocket and on the crevice the stibnite
also appears together with what is
known as Isabella yellow, an oxide OF
stibium and nearly always a bearer
OF values. lnasmuch as the water
courses followed the lodes on the 2l0
1t is believed that the main or shaft
vein is being neared, if not already
reached, although it was anticipated
that 1t lay nearly forty feet ahead
judging from its situation on the 210.
Mr.. Kirchen received a telephone
message this afternoon that the raise
was up two rounds and the entire
face of the flour by six was in ore.
The vein is quite fiat at this place
and there is every indication that II
is opening out into big ore body.
The White Caps is behaving much
better than any other mine in Man
haitian that has been worked to depth.
1t has on the surface every earmark
of deep values, there being the devon
ian lines, the Oldest rocks in the
state, and the lime shales, which
were upthrust by the intrusion of
massive alaskite, which shows in vast
boulders and cliffs to the southwark
from the lines, occupying the same
relative position as does the alaskite
on Columbia mountain at Goldfield,
making this eruptive substance the
real floor Of the two deposits and
doubtless causing their enrichment.
The surface of the White Caps is also
covered with massive dykes of white
quartzite, which doubtless gave the
property its name.
Following the trend of the forma
ton, one comes to the Manhattan
Consolidated, a property that has
known ore bodies, but they are some
what intractable, although amenable
to the process to be used upon the
White Caps ore. The present suit to
foreclose brought against the Man
haitian Consolidated may result in
the fusion of the two properties, or
rather the enforcement of the Con
solidated by the neighborng company

INVENTOR CLAIMS
DOUBLE DISCOVERY
WIRELESS TRANSMISSION UNDER
THE EARTH INVOLVES
NEW PRINCIPLES

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1S.-Dr
II. Barringer Cox, known in the world
of electrical science as an inventive
genius, announced here yesterday
that he had perfected subterranean
wireless telephone and that, Incl
dentally, he had discovered a new
law OF physics-that electrical energy
can be transmitted over a single con.
ductor.
For the last FIVE months DIR. Cox
has been working at Los Olives, Cal,
with the United States Forest service
in an effort to perfect a system of
wireless signals for forest fires. 1t
was while so engaged, he said, that
he discovered the possibility Of trans
hitting the human voice through the
ground. He will leave in a few days
for the east to obtain patents and
arrange for equipping the California
forest district with instruments.
The equipment consists of an ordi-
nary telephone transmitter connected
with battery and a special instru-
ment-Dr. Cox's secret-with a
ground wire. At the receiving sta
ton, five or fifty miles away, is a
similar equipment.

MOSQUE MONUMENT
TO THE M0SLEMS

tby Associated Press.p
LONDON, July 18.-To the many
architectural beauties of London will
be added after the war a grand
mosque in memory Of the Moslems
who have fallen in the war on the
side of the allies.
The work of raising funds for its
erection is in the hands of Lord
Headley, who embraced Mohamme-
danism three years ago and is a
devout member of the faith. He has
raised even now large sum toward
his object, but perhaps will obtain
twice the sum now available before
the building will begin.
In the records of the Mohammedan
faith Lord Headley is described as
"Saifulrahman Shaikh Rahmahillah
Faroog." which Is title highly COM
plimentary. Lord Headley has always
had reputation as an enthusiast,
and this he is maintaining in his new
religion. In his younger days he was
the best boxer at Cambridge, having
won the middleweight and the heavy
weight honors. He is civil en-
gineer, a former editor and large
land owner in Ireland.

ADVANCE IN PRICE Of SILVER
DESPITE THE PRESENT DEPRESSION

But the production of silver is fall
ing off in the United States, Mexico,
and, in fact, throughout the world.
The output of the United States last
year was roughly only $780, 900
ounces, as compared with 72,500,0
ounces the year before. Mexico ac-
counts for only 100000, as against
100000 in 1914. In fact, the world
production declined last year at least
10 per cent to some $4,000, 900
ounces, as compared with an annual
production of 100000, 900 back in 1911
and 1912.

twice as much as the United States
and Mexico can turn out in year.
Silver is not war metal In the
sense of spelter or copper. perhaps
the demand for it after the war is
over is likely to be greater even than
at present, for with the adjustment
to normal conditions the paper cur.
rency will depreciate faster. Weigh
ing the factors Of declining produc.
ton and unprecedented demand, II
would seem that silver is likely to

time to come.

An eastern statistician has figured
1t out that the fundamental reason
why silver must advance is because
Europe is today on a paper basis;
Germany has commanded the gold
from the peoples pockets to the
banks vaults; Russia has done practi
cally the same; France has requested
1t and England has relied upon pa
triotism to accomplish its purpose.
When the war broke out this same
statitician continues, the great gov
eminent banks of Europe had roughly
$2,40O, 100000 gold in their vaults.
SINCE then, despite all efforts. the
stock has only been increased an
other billion. excluding some $780,
100000 sent to the United States. The
significant monetary fact, however, is
that the original $1,000, O00,O sup
ported only 100000 of paper,
whereas the present $3.4O0,000, 900
has been called upon to maintain &c.
100000 In other words, the gold
proportion has dropped from So to "a
per cent, says the Mining World.
The irreducible limit for the Euro
pean metallic base would seem to
have been reached At the same
time, it is impossible to increase the
supply of gold. The governments of
Europe are, therefore, turning to sill
yer more and more as they inevitably
must, since gold will be unable to
meet the demands of world business
and since paper currency rapidly
loses its purchasing power. A strong
metallic base is always necessary.
