port restriction was removed. Imme-
dlately the price of silver started
soaring until last December it reached
the unprecedented figure of $1.33 an
ounce. Everybody began melting
down his silver heirlooms for bullion,
which sold at tremendous profit.
Silver plate and ornaments bought in
the years 1904 and 1905 when silver
was selling at from SO to 60 cents an
ounce, suddenly became worth twice
as much. 1t looked as if whole for
tunes were to be made in old spoons
and knives and forks. But in short
time the silver bubble burst.
The Flood of Bullion.
For Europe also had plenty Of sill
yer heirlOoms and coins, and every
country, including Germany, started
flooding the market with bullion from
these sources. Then came the Jap
anese panic, which hit the market
hard, because a good deal of trade
through China and India is handled
by Japan. The price of silver once
more declined until it reached 81.
Here the United States government
once more interfered and guaranteed
it to remain at this figure by agree
ing to buy the silver necessary. to re-
place the dollars taken from the
treasury during the war.
Thus, today there are two prices
for silver-One in this country. and
one for the rest Of the world, set by
the same old group of brokers in Lon
don. London no longer controls the
price for American silver however,
which it must buy at loss.
With this government guaranty, the
production Of silver is now profitable
enough to cause the old mines to re-
sumo operation and new sources to
be sought. Throughout Utah and
Nevada whole villages which have
slept peacefully for decades are COM
ing back to life. with renewed vitality.
Camps whose names would Ihave been
forgotten but for Mark Twain, are
now receiving daily notices in the
mining press; people are again seen
about their streets, and houses so
long deserted are receiving new coats
of paint. Eureka, Tuscarora, Phoebe,
Cherry Creek, the Bellerophon, the
Silver Wave and othee mining enter
prises are once more names to conjure
with.-Frederick j. Haskin in the Chi

War Prices of Silver.
Ihe custom suffered a severe check
with the war. Then the British gov
ernment and the other allied govern
ments were in need of unusually large
quantities of the metal with which TO
pay China and India for war supplies.
Most of this silver they had to buy
from the United States. There was
not nearly sufficient metal on hand
in this country to supply the demand.
and the price started rising. AS an
ally in the war, the United States
government was compelled to inter-
fere and set an export price on sill

higher than Great Britain had ever
permitted it to go, but not as high
as American mine owners liked.
Then, as the demand for the metal
became acute, and it was also needed
to meet our own adverse trade bal
ance with India, congress passed what
is known as the Pittman act, author
izing the secretary of the treasury to
melt down 350,000,OOO silver dollars

Normal Course to

 Teachers Here

A normal course for county school teachers-said to be the first in the state-will be held at the Central High school in Pine Bluff for six weeks, beginning June ?, w. P. Keith, county superintendent, announced last night. Miss Bertha Cummins will be in charge of the course, and instructors enough to accommodate the enrolment will be secured. MT. Keith stated About 30 teachers have already announced their inten- tion of enrolling, it was stated, and MT Keith said he believed the en- rollment would approximate 50 teachers, or about half the number teaching in the rural schools. A matriculation fee of $5 will be re- quired, he stated. MT. Keith said last night the idea met with the hear ty indorsement of w. E. Lassiter, ru- ral school supervisor, who, he stated it was the greatest thing ever put over in Arkansas. "The normal train ing course will meet the greatest need I have observed among rural schools" Mir. Keith said.
 Announcement was also made of the teachers institute to be held at the high school here from May 31 to June 4. All teachers are required by law to attend this institute. A program for the sessions is now be- ing worked out.
