PREDICTS GREAT
RISE IN SILVER
FURTHER ADVANCE IN PRICE
WILL GREATLY BENEFIT
NEVADA

Silver at 16 to 1, an actually
until 1873 and the dream of Will
liam Jennings Bryan in 1896, gives
promise of becoming rehabilitated
by It's own pressure, If not by law.
to the prodigious advantage of Ne
vada.
John v. Powers, attorney engag-
ed in mining practice in San Fran
cisco. last night predicted a very
great increase in the price of sill
yer and said that it was not i'm
probable that the old slogan of
1929 an ounce for silver will be
reached. Mr.. Powers has charge of
the development Of the Shamrock
mine in Sierra county, Cal, side
lining the famous Sierra Butte's
mine. one of the oldest operating
gold mines in the west. He has
conferred with mining men in r
ious parts of the country and points
out that outside of Nevada the pos
sibility of silver is more fully recog-
nized than by the average Nevadan.
Nevada will be the principal
gamer by high silver prices, he
pointed out. Here are some of the
benefits that in his prediction will
accrue to the people of Nevada:
Dollar silver within 90 days.
Reopening of old mines and de-
veloping of new claims.
Reconciliation of silver. by
necessity if not by law.
A gain equal to the discovery and
exploitation of another Comstock.
A doubling of population within
10 years.
Nevada the principal silver pro-
ducing district of the world.
A heavy demand for silver as
specie in European countries to
cover debts and place the nations
on a specie basis.
Powers had the following to say
on the subject:
Miners of precious metals are
getting a grain of consolation in
the fact that silver is fast coming
to it's own. Many mines which have
produced millions and which have
remained idle since the demonitiZa-
tion of silver are resuming opera-
tions under the present price. Well
informed men believe that within
80 days silver will touch $1.00 in
price and that it is not outside the
bounds of probability that by it's
own pressure, if not by law, silver
will be restored to the old standard
of $1.29 an ounce.
Anything that will take the
place of money when the present
hostilities are over, will rise to a
position of great value for there
Ices not promise to be enough
money in the world to I'VE the i'm
mense debts contracted by nations
he world. Mining men and eco
nomists are convinced that if not
by law, by necessity, silver will be
restored to it's old parity with gold,
Thousands of small Nevada mines
will be opened up and Nevada may
serve the same purpose after the
European war that she did in the
civil war, when the great produc-
ton Of the Comstock mines enabled
the United States to resume a
specie payment. SO the state may
bear the same relation to the world
at the cessation of hositilities. -
