SILVER STRONGEST OF METALS

Continued from Page Four)
 the proper price level for the metal in view of onditions--Dut the silver miners of the West patriotically sub. mitted to the conditions in order to win the war. e.. ,,-. =.
 Now it appears-and l do not wish to appear radical--that the minute silver is released from government price control an open market IS lnau- Surated we will see the signal given for rapid advances n quotations. It has been reliably stated that there are buyers for silver in the Orient who are willing to pay $!.50 an ounce for the metal. In the l917-1919 movement which preceded the enact mcnt of the Putnam bill there were recorded sales of silver at $i.0S'a to S1.151S an ounce.
 Declining Production of Silver
 The merest examination of the conditions in the supply of silver, when compared with the pressing de- mand, is enough to cause alarm. In 1911 the world produced 236,OOO,OOO ounces of silver. In 1913 the output had fallen to 233,I0O 100 ounces. In 1915 it fell sharply to t79,OC0,UOO ounces. In 1916 f: again rapidly de- clined, falling to 156 GOO GOO ounces. In 1917 we produced only 150OOo. .OOO ounces. In 1918 our production was
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1919-03-15

still smaller, only l43,uOO. .OOO ounces. In this period tie average price per ounce of silver has steadily risen. be- ing 53.92Sc an .unce in 1911 and 96.72c in 1918.
 Few people realize what hole this silver withdrawal wlli make. It makes void which the total produc- tion of the Comstock lode, our great est silver bonanza, from the day of it's discovery in 1859 up to the pres ent time could not fill. It has open ed up a deficit which the Anaconda company, our largest silver producer although by-producer of the metal in connection with the production of some 3OO,000,000 pounds of copper annually, could not replace in less than a quarter of century. It makes deficit greater than Lead vile and Creede could reimburse from their total production since their discovery. It would take the Nipissing mine, the greatest silver producer under the British Crown, tish and French armies before the American army would arrive on the battlefield. Germany was carrying on an enormous propaganda through its agents all over the world. It sue ceeded in stirring up unrest and dis trust of England in India. The AL lied armies were meeting defeat less than year ago and were being com pelled to retreat from day to day with staggering losses. It began to look like the Germans would reach Paris and the channel ports. The morale of the British and French ar mics and of their people had reach ed nearly the zero point. It was here that United States legislation intervened and helped turn the tide by supplying an enormous amount of silver, which was quickly followed by the shipping over of our soldiers and the turning of the tide, which meant Germany's defeat.
 The price of silver remained at S1 an ounce, at which it was begged by governmental decree ,until August 15, when the price of silver was fixed at $1.O1B per fine ounce by the gov ernment. Since this time it has been
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1919-03-15

consistently quoted at that figure, which is also the figure given in shelter returns.
 But the situation in silver IS so strained that the government is s.p- parently loath to remove price-fixing
 and turn the markets or the white metal over to supply and demand. It does not seem at all likely that the government can replace the silver it has withdrawn and melted down from the treasury at price of S1 an ounce.
 It was claimed at the time the
 Walsh-Pittman bill was enacted that silver could not be replaced at $1- that S1 an ounce did not represent fully 50 years to replace this silver
 lost to the United States treasury, which must under the understanding with the silver mines be replaced. And in addition to this enormous withdrawal from the United States treasury we have to consider the en- ormous permanent demand of the Orient for silver. China, with its 40O000,000 and India with it's 300,- OOO,OO0 people, are clamoring for the white metal.
 Billions of ounces of silver have disappeared in the great maws of China and India, never to reappear. And we are to see the requirements of these vasts populous countries stimulated since the war. The peo- pie of these countries have been greatly internationalized and cosmo- politanized during the war. The in evitable result of this is that their wants are expanding. And their wants will be expressed in silver largely to the exclusion of other coinage.
 The very statement of the situa- tion is grave enough to cause alarm. We look for something very closely akin to economic upheavel to result from this astounding condition which is working out in silver supply and
 demand. Silver, from a neglected and negligible position of a few years ago as a demonetized and de- based currency, is now in line to ad- vance, in my opinion, to at least
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1919-03-15

$1.29 an ounce, with automatic re- monetizing provided the parity basis with gold is not itself changed in the meantime.
 1 believe that silver in our stock market will lead the other metals in point of popularity and strength. think we are going to see silver share markets which will compare with the copper and spelter markets in their palmiest days. I believe the Butte copper share companies of 1888 and whereabouts will find a substantial parallel in the copper share market which wemay look for when an open market for the white metal is per mitted.
 Big Boom Expected in Silver Shares

 l distinctly advise that preference in metal shares be given to those rep resenting good producing and devel-
 opment companies. The investment and speculative outlook for silver buying is now congested and acute one. I expect tessee fortunes made in the purchase If Silver mine shares as l have seen them here in Boston made out of copper shares ten and twenty years aeds
