SILVER PRICE CAUSES
 TROUBLE IN CHINA MARKET

SHANGHAI, China.-While Amer jeans have been buying British pound sterling in New York for $3.70 or less, Americans have been paying $1OO in American gold for 76 Mexican dollars, which are in current use here.
 This unprecedented advance in the rate of exchange in Shanghai has been due to the acute rise in the price of silver. Probably no country in the world has been more sharply affected by this enhanced value of silver than has China.
 In consequence of the confused state of exchange, the foreign trade through this city, China's principal commer- ciai center, became more or less dis organized. Exporters ceased to look for new business and confined their activities wholly to filling old con- tracts from the terms which they would have been plad to escape.
 Shanghai bankers held frequent con- ferences day and night in an effort to determine what might be done to stabilize the exchange rates. For one day all but one of the leading banks in the city declined to issue drafts in connection with export shipments to America. These exporters who buy their goods in China for silver and sell them abroad for gold suffered most severely. They were obliged to restrict operations or raise prices wherever the goods were sold. -
 On the other hand, importers who buy their goods in America and are paid for them in Mexican dollars have prospered.
 One of the difficulties arising from the exchange situation is that much of the business here is done under terms arranged several years ago when an American dollar was worth two Mexican dollars or more. Con- sequently foreign workers here have suffered.
 The bankers concluded that one so- lution of the problem would be to in crease the price of China's products throughout the world.

UNITED AMERICAN
 IS DOWN 325 FEE1

The shaft of the United American is now down 325 feet and averaging about 4 feet a day.
 A recent survey of the property showed that the first vein to the south of the shaft, providing it's dip is the same as the other lodges of the series, should be cut by the shaft at depth of between 400 and 800 feet. Inas- much as this ledge has not yet been prospected it is not known what values it carries. ,.....,,.,y
 At the present rate of sinking the 500 should be reached between the middle of March and the first of April and the crosscut run on the 500 to the big ledge by about the first of May.
 Another issue of 100000 shares of treasury stock has been put on the market at 40 cents and from all ap- pearances will be taken up in short time as the showing on the 300 has el- minated the gamble to some extent and make it a better buy at 40 cents than it was at 25 cents before the ore was cut on the 300. -,.. --... .....

w. w. Booth of Denver, president of the Wallapai Precious Metals Com- pany met with the board of directors of that company in Kingman and en tered into contract with the Cerbat Transportation and Development com pany where they transferred cer- tain interests in their group of claims to the Cerbat Tunnel Company in con sideration of their undertaking the opening up of the Wallapai group at depth through the medium of the tun- nel. .
 This is very valuable asset for the Tunnel company inasmuoh as the Wallapai group embraces large ter ritory of patented land known to be one of the most thoroughly mineraliz- ed properties in the Cerbat range.
 Ar. Booth in speaking to the rep resentative of this paper said that the outlook for mining was bright for the coming year and that the Tunnel project was one of the most promis- ing propositions that had ever been called to his attention. .'s-.

HIGH SILVER PRICES
 COMPEL POWERS TO
 REVISE SILVER COINS

The first of the Powers to take def mite steps to reorganize silver cur rency is Germany.
 The Reichsbank, beginning Jan. 21, offers 6 1-2 marks in lawful money (paper) for each silver mark coin. This is intended to draw in such sill yer mark coins as yet remain in cir culation and that may have escap ed the melting pot, to date, and is regard ed as necessary preliminary to a new silver coinage.
 The German mark is the standard money of Germany as the dollar" is the standard of the United States, gold in both cases. However, just as there is no actual gold dollar coin in this country, so there is no actual gold mark in Germany. The actual Ger man mark coin is silver coin about the size of a quarter-dollar. It weighs 5.5555 grams, and is an alloy of 900- 1O0Oths silver and contains 77.16 grains pure silver. The silver is worth 21.7 cents per German mark, when silver sells at $1.33 per ounce in New York, or $1.35 in Berlin.
 The new standard of German silver currency has not yet been announced.
 A new silver coinage of Canada is in force. The Canada Gazette gives of ficial notice that since Jan. 1 the Can adian hints will coin silver coins of the same size and weight and same face value as heretofore, but contain ing only 800 parts silver per thousand in the alloy, versus 925-1000ths fine as heretofore, the old British stan dard. The old Canadian silver dollar contained 333 grains pure silver and the fractional coins in proportion. The new will contain 2SS grains pure silver. On thousand ounces pure sil- yer wil enter into $1,700 face value new money, versus $1,440 heretofore. This establishes $1.70 an ounce as the "par" between coin and bullion value of Canadian money, versus $f.44 here tofore.
 Two> bills in Congress to revise American silver coinage are still be- fore the House Committee on Bank ing and Currency.
 The British Government plans call ing in the silver money, but has not yet taken definite steps in this direc- tion, such as have been taken by Ger many. The British Government has, however, prepared and has already printed currency notes" or what used to be called "shin plasters" in the old Civil War days in this country. They represent paper money of small de- nomination, backed, presumably, by some sort of reserve silver or gold.

TWO TRUCKS ADDED
 BY DIAMOND JOE

A new ton White truck and a 1 1-2 ton G. M. c. arrived in King man this week to be used for hauling ore from the Diamond Joe mine co the mill on the Arizona Molybdenum property. They were loaded and started for the mine yesterday morn ing.
 Roscoe Stevens is handling 20 pack animals for E. c. Bradshaw. This pack train carries the ore a part of the way and the trucks the balance.
 MT. Bradshaw states that another shift is being added which will enable the mill to handle about 20 tons day. Two 4 ton shipments of concentrates have been averaging about 300 ounc- es to the ton.

RET|MBE|NG IS COM- y.
 PLETED AT GOLD ORE

The work on the gold ore is steadi- ly going ahead under the direction of mine superintendent Joe Onetta, the man who opened up more than $3,- 100000 worth of pay ore on the Gold Road, nearby in less than years time.
 The work of retimbering the shaft has been completed and the drift on the $50 is cleaned up, though all of the drift, near where the cave re- gently disclosed a new ore body, mas not been retimbered. This will be done later.
 A. c. Werden stated yesterday that they expect to shoot the first rounds in the new ore body next Sunday morning
 Development work on this level is expected to show some very interest ing results.

NcCRACKEN SHIPS
 CAROF CONCENTRATES

The McCracken Silver-Lead Mine shipped a 40 ton car of concentrates yesterday which will average about $1O0 to the ton. Samples from the table showed the following results: 12:24 ounces silver and 62 % lead and another sample 16:40 ounces sil- yer and 6S 1-2 % lead. However Leonard Hoffman, who is>in charge of the property, says that it would not necessarily mean that the whole car would go this high.
 The mill is now closed down for period of perhaps ten days while the company installs two new tables. These added tables will increase the capacity of the mill to about tons of concentrates per day.

DE PALMA AND MILTON SIGN UP
 FUR TURKEY DAY

LOS ANGELES. Cal. Nov. [, 1920.- (SpeciaD 1.-Two of the four aces who still have a chance for the 1920 Speed way championship. signed up last week for the 250-mile Turkey day race on the Los Angeles speedway. These two worthies are none other than Tommy Milton, who has won more races than any other driver this year and stands second in the championship standings, and Ralph DePalma, whose Elgin vic tory put him within shooting distance of the title.
 The entrance of these two speed kings has put lot of jazz into the prospects for the race and means that the other prospective entrants will be getting in line with a rush. Milton's breaking of the worlds 100-mile dirt track record at Phoenix recently demonstrates beyond the shadow of doubt that his new car is wonderfully fast; while DePalma's Baby Ballot is credited with being the fastest 1S3- inch racer in the world.
 Eddie Hearne. first of all the drivers to get his name on the dotted me at the bottom of the entry blanks, spent part of the week tuning up his little Revere for the big event. Hearne's luck hasn't been any too good this year and he has shown none of the speed which made him the speedway champ for 1919. This time he is working hard to get his little car in shape to grab off the juicy end of the $35. .OO0 purse regardless of the fact that his chances of winning the title have faded away There are q lot of drivers who are per- fectly willing to let somebody else have the championship providing they get the fat end of the purse.
 ! The red hot rivalry over the ss5, 900 prize money is only exceeded in inten- sity by the scramble for championship | honors; this being little more intense | for the reason that whosoever wants | to win the championship, will have to win the race and the money that goes with the leading position in order to | collect on the titular honors. Hence the grand desire to get the glory The tremendous interest in the big | Thanksgiving day event was shown last week when the grandstand, box seat and parking space tickets went on sale at the B. H. Dyas company and the Automobile Club Of Southern Califor- mia. Starting out with the biggest days business in the history of the speedway on Monday. the orders con tinued to roll in until Secretary A. NJ Young feels justified in predicting the greatest attendance in the history of outdoor sporting events in Southern California.
 One of the most interesting features of the demand for tickets is found ir the requests for large blocks of ticket: from the outlying towns which propose
 to send delegations to the race Bak-
 ersfield set the ball rolling with aH
 order for 100 seats and since that tim,
 a number of cities have formed tenta
 tive organizations for motoring to Lo
