The High Price of Silver Discussed With
Some Interesting Statistics of Production

900 worth of silver in the fiscal year
1916, Of which $41,032,0OO went to
England, mostly for re-shipment to
China and India. In IL months Of the
current fiscal year the United States
has exported $4,000 900 worth. The
need of silver coinage among the
European belligerents and the expan-
sion of trade in the far east were the
principal factors in improving the
market for silver; more recently the
declaration of war by China has in
tensified the normal drift of the metal
to that country. In face of these
growing demands there is decrease
Of production; therefore the high
price is fully explained. What it
means to the fortunate producers of
silver is indicated by few individual
statistics of production:

OF these, one is a copper mine. one
a zinc-lead mine another a silver
lead producer, and the other three
yield plain silver ores. Most of them
produce some gold also. The copper
ores of Montana average s1.05 per ton
in gold and silver those Of Nevada
A cents, and those of Arizona AZ cents
per ton. The lead ores of Utah yield
an average of $9.23 per ton in the
precious metals, and those of Idaho
5000 Whereas the production of
silver used to come mainly from sill
ver-lead ores, an increasing proper
ton is now being won as by-product
in the course of copper mining, and
in periods marked by highly favor
able copper market this silver as a
clear gain. In normal times two
thirds of the silver production OF the
world is consumed in the arts. Now
an abnormal proportion is being used
for silver coinage, for the convenience
OF paying the soldiers of the bigl
armies and for replacing the gold that
is being boarded by governments Of
the belligerent countries. India con-
tinues to be sink for silver; that
country absorbs fully half of the
worlds output. The cinema trade is
consuming an increasing proportion of
silver Altovether the outlook is suf-
ficient to prompt renewed search for
deposits of the metal. Idle mines and
old dumps should invite examination
in the light of these improved condi-
tions. for, although labor and cyanide
are high, the market for the sssociat-
ed base metals is also favorable.

ployed, and was effective in reducing
the tonnage efficiency. AS an exam

having decided to concentrate its tool

enabled to dispense with six or eight
Mexican blacksmiths, the grievance
committee protested, and not being

thousands of feet Of steel was buried

operations necessarily hindered until
an additional supply could be obtain

impossible and INSTRUMENTATION was
rife.
In June last the employees Of all the
companies operating in the district,
through the instigation of the Ari-
iona Federation of Labor, and with it's
endorsement, demanded the So called
Miami wage scale. Declining to await
the arrival of Mr.. Myers, the federal
mediator, they called strike that has
suspended all operations in the dis
trict for the past five weeks
: 1t is an interesting fact that while
the operators in the so-called Moren-
ci-Metcalf- Clifton district do not re-
eognize the union-the grievance COM
mittees consisting exclusively of en-
lployes of the mining companies-yet
this district is the most completely
unionized in the state of Arizona. The
instructions to the grievance commit
tee are issued by the union and the
strike was called by it. when it is
understood that the tonnage of ore
produced per man in the mines Of this
district is only 2.1S as compared with
nearly 10 tons at Miami, the COMPARE

EYRE'S EXEMPTION CAUSED
BY A CRIPPLED FOOT
Son of West Chester G. o. P. Leader
Accidentally Shot While on Trip
Through the West

WEST CHESTER, Pa, Sept 26.-The
exemption from military service of Wallace
Eyre, son of T. Lawrence Eyre, the leader
Of the stalwart faction of the Republican
party in Chester County, whose home is in
this place has caused much comment here,
as we'll in the county, the comments for
the most part being made by persons cogni-
zant Of the facts. 1t is known here that
letters commenting upon the exemption
have been sent to both Harrisburg and
Washington, and one writer wrote to Wash
ington and afterward when acqu linted with
the facts sent an apology for his letter.
Eyre has crippled foot, which fact dis
qualities him for the duty in the ranks. this
fact being known to all his acquaintances.
While in a western State about two years
ago conducting some business for his father
Eyre accidentally shot himself in the foot
with a revolver. The foot improved for a
time, but later the injury gave him such
trouble that an operation was performed
by which the great tee and the second one
were amputated, crippling the foot perma-
nenty.
When Eyre took the examination before
Exemption Board No. 2, of West Chester
he was found unfit for military duty by the
physicians who examined him and his ex-
emption was decided upon. 1t is claimed
the physical examination was made by a
member Of the corps of physicians who was
not acquainted with the Eyre family.
