The White Metal was Quoted at
$1.08 Ia in New York Friday
Marked Increase in Mining
Already Noticeable Here

New York. is $1.O8 IL per ounce.
With the continued rise in the price
of this metal there is apparent a
marked increase in mining activity
in this district. New work is being
started and regular large shipments
may be looked for. Those in close
touch with the silver situation look
for higher prices and a period of
prosperity among the miners of the
metal similar to that which has al
ready been enjoyed by copper and
zinc.
