PROBABLE CAUSE OF
BIG DROP IN SILVER
United States Treasury Seeks to
Meet Effects of the Recent
Rise in Silver

Silver dropped from $1.08 IL per
ounce to $1.O6 IL on Wednesday.
On Thursday it dropped to $1.Ol 5-S.
No quotation of Fridays market was
sent to Eureka, and no report was
received here to-day.
The following article from Mon
DAYS San Francisco Journal of Com
merce throws some light on the prob
able cause of the heavydecline in the
price of the white metal:
Treasury officials are anxiously
casting about for a means to check
the upward flight of silver value. A
Washington dispatch says that they
also are seeking a way to nullify the
effect after the value of silver has
surpassed the value of the metal con-
tanned in the American dollar. Off
Gals are fully awake to the likelihood
of silver dollar hoarders of convert
ing the coin into bullion by melting.
Numerous suggestions have been
put forth. Among them it has been
suggested that the Federal Reserve
Act be amended in order that the
Federal reserve banks may issue pa
per currency of one and two dollar
denominations. thereby relieving the
demand for this country's standard
coin. Issuance of low denomination
paper by the Federal reserve banks
would be secured by United States
bonds.
The statement is made in the dis
patches that whatever action is taker
by the Government to relieve the
situation will be made within thu
next few days, as the silver value i
increasing at the rate of 2 cents
day, and within ten days. if the pres
ent rate of increase is maintained
the value of silver contained in thu
American dollar will exceed thu
amount for which it stands.

Agreement IL Reached When the Mining
Operators Waive Twenty-Dsy Clause
Tonopah Times: The wage ques-
ton was adjusted in Tonopah Friday
afternoon in less than 80 minutes.
The answer of the mine operators

the West End Company. The reply
was read by the committee and the

subscribed their names in acceptance

agreed to waive the clause requiring
20 days consecutive work before an
