SILVER RANGING ABOVE
so CENTS CAUSES HOPE

Metal mining is bound to be stimu-
lated by the increase in the value of
silver, which now ranges above so
cents, and has come to that price so
gradually that there is every reason
to believe it will stick and very likely
be at dollar before snow flies.
No region of the west will profit
more in the impetus given to mining
than the Gunnison country. Dollar
silver means new life in a dozen min
