On EDe of Great
Mining Boom,
Asserts Parker
SCRAMBLE FOR PRECIOUS METAL
IN BOWELS OF EARTH
PREDICTED

Despite the socialistic hysteria OF
profiteering, the high cost of living is
owing most largely to initiation of the
circulation medium. Untold billions of
bonds have been issued by the warning
nations of Europe, and they must Dor
row additional billions to restore their
industrial and physical reconstruction.
These conditions VIII undoubtedly and
inevitably bring about great boom in
the mining of the precious metals, OF
which the United States controls the
greater amuont.
Our treasury officials have long recog-
nized these conditions, and congress
last year, at the request of President
Wilson, passed the Pitman act remone-
Using silver and making its minimum
price 81 an ounce, and also authorizing
the treasury department to melt into
bullion three hundred and fifty million
of our silver dollars fer our European
allies Exports of more than two hun
bred millions of dollars worth Of silver
bullion have already gone, to been
shipped to Europe, sand at the present
rate of production of all the silver
mines now in operation it will take
many years to produce that amount. ..
Today silver is~selling above 81 an
ounce, and many deserted silver dis
tricts that have laid dormant for the
last twenty-five years are now taking
on a new lease of life, new money is
being invested, the old bonanza mines
are being bought up by new companies
and the old workings, shafts, tunnels,
drifts levels, slopes and wines are being
reopened on strictly modern methods, SO
that there is every prospect of future
production more than eclipsing their
past records.
New and up-to-date metallurgical
processes are now in general use, to-
yether with electrical machinery and

Known to the pioneer operators of TWEEN

FIRES AT BURGLAR

Mounting the box, the officer peered
through the opening in the door, and
saw a man tampering with the doors
of safe in Mr.. Miller's office. The
officer turned his flashlight on the man,
who Immediately left the safe, and rush
ed toward the front door of the shop.

fired shot from his 32-ealiber auto
matte revolver.

and ran, while Officer Crea, leaving
his position ct the side deer, rushed 20

see the burglar flee across the street
and run through the ,Xaeant lot on
which the Hiekerson building formerly
was located. The policeman fired four
more shots from the automatic, but
