THE HIGH PRICE OF SILVER

Silver at more than double the
price per ounce in pre-wzr times
seems to please everybody
The high price stimulates produc-
ton and makes many mining districts
highly prosperous and industrially
active.
If gold were suddenly given a dou-
bic purchasing power there would be
d universal howl against gold mon
opoly.
Wheat has double purchasing
power and we all feel good about it
although It raises all other food val
ues with it
Pork and beef will buy two or three
times as much on foot as formerly
and is swelling the farmers bank &C
count.
But national and state governments
are up in arms to bring down the
high prices OF meats as criminal prof
iteering
We seem ready to condone high
prices OF silver, copper. farm pro-
ducts and applaud all increase OF
wages.
Is it not true that what IS a good
condition for the silver industry. the
wheat industry. the lumber industry,
IS good for all other industries?

PHOENIX, Sept 11-That a
concerted effort is being made by the
county attorneys of the state to Sc

matter was reported to United

matter
The matter OF securing evidence

difficulty, Mr.. Jones said yesterday.

MIGRATORY VISITORS

Mr.. and Mrs. John Nelson. accom-
panied by their daughter, Martha, is
in the city spending a few days with
Mrs Nelson's sister, Mrs. Eli s. Per
kins. They have come from Heber,
in southern Navajo county, and are
on their way to their winter home in
Mesa. They have heard of the fame
of the NC4 Silver mine and have ar
ranged to visit this coming camp. Mr..
Nelson is engaged in the sheep bust
ness and has very fine range i'll
Navajo county for summer time and
takes his sheep to the plains about
Mesa every winter. Hence, he and
his family are more or less migratory
and usually go straight through to
Mesa on these trips.
Mr.. Nelson reports the greatest
abundance of feed in the mountain
country this summer ever seen in the
last twenty years. However. he
feels that such a fat season does not
necessarily augur we'll for big rains
in the early spring. which are neces-
sary in the lower country for feed
for the sheep before they move back
in the spring. There are many sheep
men of northern Arizona who also
come south for winter with their
nerds, and it is strange that most
of them seem to agree with Mr.. Mel
son on this theory of too much rain
in one season means too little i'll an
other.

LONG TUNNEL IS
FINISHED To
TAP ORE
From Fridays Dafiy.l

George 7. harrington OF Grown
King is in the city on business. He
is the manager OF the Philadelphia
Mining company, operating the old
Nelson property. This company and
its predecessor have been for several
years almost continuously working
on long drift tunnel on an iron dyke
about $50 feet wide which was found
to be ore bearing, by a shaft sunk
on the steep mountainside near the
top of Gladiator hill The location
OF this shaft being almost inaccessible
to heavy machinery, it was deemed
advisable to drive tunnel $500 feet
and cut the ore body under the shaft.
This work has now been about COM
pleted and u feet OF good ore is in
sight to reward the company for its
big outlay and much work. The next
plan now is to run raise to tap the
bottom OF the shaft. and this will
be 900 feet long. The shaft being
about $50 feet in depth this will give
perpendicular depth on the vein
OF nearly 200 feet.
With the completion OF this raise,
the Philadelphia property will prob
ably be put on paying basis, as test
shipments to snrelters and sample
mill runs made by flotation and
other methods OF treatment have
demonstrated tina this ore carries
good milling values. much OF It being
good enough to ship.
This will bring the historic mining
camp OF Crown King back again to
the notice OF the country.
Mr.. Harrington reports other de-
velopments as keeping up their regu-
lar gait and that the future of the
town at the end OF the line" was
never brighter Nearly all the ores
in the Crown King section carry
gold, silver and copper, and the
steady high prices for both silver and
copper are doing much to put new
life into that district.
Among those shipping or ready to
ship are the Cougar mine. under the
management OF Fred H. Perkins OF
Phoenix; the Birmingham mine, oper
ated under bond and lease by Eric
Bloom and Victor Carlson; the Mil
dred Mining company, under the
management OF Barney Gino, and
the old Union mine, which was quite
the rage all summer, under the leas-
age OF Judge Gemmill and Joe Say
Tors, by reason OF their shipping
three or four carloads from an old
dump and cleaning up a nice stake,
the main values being silver, with
low grade copper.

RUN ON PEOPLES BANK
Baseless RumOr Scares Many DepOsi
tors Who Draw Their Money
Run On Peoples Bank

On Wednesday night a be-
came current on the street that the
Peoples Bank of Penns Grove was in
financial difficulty. The report had
evidently spread over a wide territory
for on Thursday morning there was a
long line of scared depositors standing
in line waiting for the doors to open
in order to withdraw their money.
Fortunately the officials of the bank
had been appraised of the m and
Immediately made preparations to
meet any emergency. The entire
bank force remained on duty through
out the day paying all claims until
the bank closed. Penns Groves bust
ness men came forward with extra de-
posits during the day instead of TAX
ing their money out.
President Mitchell hurried to Phil
adelphia early yesterday morning and
soon returned with all the funds
needed to tide them over until conf
dence is restored and the false rumor
traced to its source.
Yesterday a warrant was issued for
a man who is alleged to have started
the story. He was given a hearing
and placed under 81, 900 bail by Squire
McAdams. Pending further investi-
cation his name is withheld.
There were a number on hand this
morning waiting for the bank to open,
but there was no excitement or dis
order.
President Mitchell and Cashier Par
ker have issued a statement over their
signatures to the effect that the ru-
NOR of the banks insolvency has no
foundation whatever, and refer to the
banks statement, which is published
today in the Record to verify their
statement.

Yesterday through a baseless rumor
will wake up some morning in the
near future and find them missing.
Putting money in a stocking and hid
ing it in the bureau is not as safe as
a bank. There are plenty of light
fingered gentry in the community who
will take particular pleasure in hunt
ing out these little treasures and con-
fscating them. Better take a second
thought and put your little wad back
in the bank where the thieves cannot
get it.
