SILVER HITS
HIGH LEVEL

silver Is coming back into its own.
The famous l6-to-1 ratio is rapidly ]
baing approached; the famous ratio /
which prevailed until silver was de- |
monetized in 1878 and made a COM
modify. The quotation reaching |
s1.l9A last Monday made good |
news for all the miners of the Silver
state and all the Nevada papers are
now spreading the glad tidings. 1t
is particularly good news for the
miners of Phoebe. Ii adds, of course,
to the value of every orebody. and
the increase from the fixed price of
s1.O1% to sl.19A means an in
creasing flow of money into this dis
trict AS an illustration, the in
crease in the silver price means an
additional $3.50 received from the
shipment of each car of the ordinary
high-grade ore assaying seventy-five
ounces, such as is being produced
nv the Stindt and Donohue and the
Rig Five leases. When their ship
ments total one hundred cars the in
crease will amount to $4,000. On
the low-grade fluxing ores, carrying
hut four ounces of silver. the in
crease pays the cost of transporta-
tion to the Salt Lake route and then
pays part of the railroads charges.
During the last twenty-five years
the price of silver has been low. In
1894, twenty-five years ago, the av-
erage price of silver was SO cents an
ounce. 1t did not rise above 70 cents
for any year until 1918. For prac-
tical purposes silver has now doubled
in value, and in so doing the silver
ores of Phoebe have almost doubled
in value. Ores which were with diff
fculty handled profitably during the
last generation now become bonanza
products. 1t is good news for Pi-
oche. During the last two months
MANY thoughtful men have been in
teryiewed by the Record, and theil
hopefuI predictions of a better price
for silver were frequently published
and it Is pleasing to them and to tht
miners to see the realization OF theil
Judgment. Men in position u
sneak with authority are quoted IL
