PRODUCTION OF SILVER
SMALLEST IN DECADE
FIGURES GIVEN ARE RESULT OF
CLOSE cALcULATioN-MiN.
ED AS A BY.PRoDUcT.

In the Commerce Reports, March 16,
issued by the United States depart
ment Of commerce, is given the fol-
lowing estimate Of the worlds pro-
duction Of silver in 1916, from the
London Statist February "a:
For several years past the output
of silver has been quite up to, If not
beyond, the worlds demand. Min
ing for silver alone is rare except as
mines sin the United States, Mexico
and South America; the greater por-
ton of the silver output of the world
in some years is byproduct OBJ
tanned from mining for base metals,
particularly copper and lead.
In making our estimates as to the
worlds silver output of 1916, we have
not only taken account of the re-
striction of output of enterprises that
mined for silver only, but have also
made allowance for the exceptional
circumstances governing the output OF
silver as a by-product, for we be-
lieve that the abnormally high prices
received for base metals have in many
instances led mining companies to
increase their extraction of base
metals and thereby reduced the ex-
traction of the silver content of the
ore.
We have taken these various feat
ures into account in our estimates,
: but the war completely upsets calcu-
lations. and we frankly admit that in
large measure the figures given par
take Of the nature of calculated gues-
SEES. Our estimate Of the world out
put of silver during 1916 is.
Estimated Worlds Production of

most nine tenths OF the silver comes
from the Americas. 1t is an extraor-
binary circumstance that two-thirds
of the worlds production is absorbed
by Asia. In the middle ages silver
was derived from Great Britain,
France. Austria, and Germany. The
beautiful color called Saxony- blue was
made from cobalt mines of that coun-
try. Three subsequent great epochs
may be noted: first, the Spanish dis
covery of the mineral wealth of Mex
leo and Peru about the year 1920
Stripped of the gamor of historians,

slavery. Many galleons laden with
treasure formed part OF the Spanish
Armada, and were wrecked upon the
British coast; secondly. the discovery
i'll 1859 of the Comstock lode in New
ada. A rush of hardy miners ensued,
and fresh finds We're made, So
much silver was yielded that. coin
cident with the discovery of the gold
in California, bimetallsm had to be
abandoned, that is, the free coinage
of both metals at a fixed ratio to each
other had to be given up. The Ana
conda mine, in Montana, is the largest
producing mine today; its annual out
put being 100000 'oY; Thirdly, in
1904, as a new railway was being
driven through part of Ontario, traces
o. silver were discovered in a rail-
way cutting Within a few years,
eter, 30,000000 OF. of silver was mined
in one year alone"

IDAHO COUNTY MINES
GET MILL FROM MURRAY
MACHINERY WILL BE HAULED IN
FROM STlTES-FRElGHT -.
COST $4,000.
(Stites Enterprise)

Chas. w. Smith, general manager
Of the New York mine in the Ten
Mile district, has been in the city the
past few days directing the shipment
of the 20-stamp mill recently pur-
chased of the Golden Reward mine at
Murray, Idaho. Ten stamps will be
installed on the New York property
and 10 stamps on the Wonder mine
across the river from the New York.
Mr.. Smith said:
Shipments Aggregate 100000 Pounds.
That the shipments going into the
interior at this time will approxim-
ately be 100000 pounds, consisting of
machinery and supplies to the New
York, Wonder and Orogrand mines
and that more than $4,000 will be
distributed among the freighters OF
Sites and the section tributary there
to within the next 80 days. 1t will re-
quire from three weeks to one month
to get this machinery in, and in that
| time the snow conditions will be more
favorable for the installation of ma
chinery. The method formerly fol-
ore two miles to 5-stamp mill, $50
pounds each, an average capacity OF
| 7 tons each. The cutting OF wood
and hauling same to the mill, caused
an unnecessary expense of $1,000 per
month.
Crush 30 Tons Per Day.
"The new 10-stamp mill will be run
by water power and the 10 stamps will
weigh 1850 pounds each and have a
capacity of tons to the stamp or 80
tons per day. The former unneces-
sary expense will become credit, and
operations will not be interfered with
by any unfavorable weather condi-
tons either summer or winter.
1.-The property is developed down to
the 260-foot depth on the dip. The
depth will be gained as the tunnel adj
vances. From the lowest tunnel Level
at the present time possible 900 feet
is available from the mill level by
adit tunnel.
Modern Equipment.
THE new mill will consist of mill
ing, amalgamation, classification, con-
centration both table and flotation
Water power will be developed from
Fall creek. The average values Of
ore taken from the New York has
been from SIG to SIS per ton.
"The machinery being taken to thu
Wonder is practically the same as be
ing installed at the New York and thu
same process will be used in thu
, treatment of the ore. The Wonde
property is developed with three tun
nels and raises connecting all on ore
which will guarantee the running o
the mill for some time to come. TIL
installation of the mill on the Wonde
will begin as soon as weather condl
, tons will permit"

Rubber tubes, operated by a clamp,
+ familiar to those in sick room who
/ have been obliged to resort to use Of
hot water bottles and sanitary
| drinking cup are the latest utilities OF
Topeka bootlegger, according to a
story going the rounds in Kansas.
Here's the story told in Topeka the
other day by some Harrington youths
who visited the city in quest for ex-
element:
They We're approached by a man at
the corner of Seventh street and To-
peka avenue.
Want a drink" he asked
"Sure!' was the reply.
The bootlegger led them to an alley,
produced sanitary drinking cup
with the ounce marks con the outside.
He reached into another pocket and
produced hot water bottle tube
I'VE want a drink" exclaimed the
youths.
You're going to get a drink" re-
piled the bootlegger as he placed the
mouth of the tube in the drinking cup.
Evidently the tube was connected
with hot water bottle full of whisky
in an inside pocket. The clamp to
the tube was released and the liquor
began to gurgle. When it had reach
ed certain mark the clamp was
snapped shut and a customer served
at rs cents a drink. When the deal
was closed the drinking cup was fold
ed and placed in a pocket the tube
rolled up and put in another pocket,
and the stranger disappeared.

Bootleggers Being
Hard Hit at Martin

Offers OF the law at Martin are,
we understand, going after the
bootleggers with a determination
that the bone.dry law shall be en-
forced there, if no other communi-
ty in the entire state observes it.
Peddlers Of liquor at Martin are
being run to earth and arrested
almost daily, and those who come
in from Cairo with large, fat suit
cases and grips are being watched
closely.
One day this week a white man
was arrested at Martin who had in
his possession twenty-four un-
opened pints OF liquor He and
his wet goods were carried to the
town lookup to await the opening
of city court, and while confined
in the jail he poured all his liquor
out, thinking to thus destroy the
evidence against him. There were
other arrests at Martin, and all
law-abiding citizens everywhere
commend the officers there for
their determination to enforce the
law against liquor selling.

until night. The stock is being
rapidly reduced, though many
valuable bargains remain un.

Considerable pressure is being
brought to bear on Mr.. Sprouse,
who is native Of Springfield, to
induce him to locate at Gleason,
and we understand he has the
matter under serious considera-
ton. There is no doubt but that a
genuine live-wire like Mr.. Sprouse

fully determined what he will do
about the matter, but has it under
consideration and will make up
his mind within the next few
days, making public announcement
at that time Of his final decision.
Judge Lewis would not only
lend dignity to this exalted posi-

The garage has practically every
modern convenience for handling
all automobile troubles, many new
and modern machines being in
stalled, such as drills, lathes, en-
erys, band saws, etc. Besides
this class OF work Messrs. Jones
will look after all kinds of machine
repair work, such as farm and mill
machinery, gasoline engines, tin
work, gun and blacksmithing,
horse-shoeing; in fact, any kind
lof machine shop work that you
! may want will be taken care Of by
them.
Mr.. Roger Jones is in Memphis
this week and will take special
course in automobile repairing,
and upon his return home will be
we'll qualified to handle any kind
of car trouble. Roger is naturally
a mechanic, He is a careful, con.
scleuGous workman, as has al
ready been demonstrated, and will
command a large trade, no doubt.

For Road Improvement.

The present miserable condition
of the roadside worst in the his
tory Of the county, perhaps, due to
no work on them under the pres
ent law, has aroused our coed
Gleason friends and a proposition
comes to Dresden from influential
citizens Of Gleason that they will
put the road to the river in ship
shape if Dresden will work up an
interest here and work the road
from Dresden to the river. This
seems a fair proposition and ought
to be accepted by our citizens, as
we'll as those good farmers between
here and the river. Those Of you
who are interested on this side
the river are requested to report
to Max Levy.

Citizens Meeting.

Considerable interest land some
feeling) was manifest in the citi.
zens' meeting at the courthouse on
Monday night, at which, it ia re.
ported, it was threatened to fix
the disgraceful mud hole of seven
ty.fve yards in length opposite
Editor Holbrook's residence. This
bad place is in the corporate limits
Of the town and ought to be at
tended to, since the citizens there
pay taxes for this purpose.
1t was decided at the meeting to
issue $1,000 bonds, or longtime
notes, for the improvement Of the
streets OF Dresden. There was
some opposition to plunging the
little town further Ia debt, but q
majority favored the proposition
and it will be carried out. The
town already has a bonded indebt-
edness Of nearly $4,000.
