EUREKANS VISIT PLACERVILLE

Placerville Republican: Major
Henry G. Catlin, a prominent mining
engineer of New York, is registered
at the Hotel Placerville. He is here
In behalf Of the Eugene Davis inter
ests, having come at the request OF
Eugene Davis to make an inspection
of the Pacific mine properties. He
made the trip to the mine yesterday,
accompanied by ]. E. Sexton and
Thos. Patton.
Following a visit to the mine, Ma
jor Catlin was taken to Kyburz in or
der to give him glimpse of the seen
cry in the higher attitudes. In an in
terview with Republican represen-
tative this morning, Major Catlin de-
clared that the road from Sacramen-
to the summit surpassed in beauty
any drive of similar distance within
his knowledge. He also expressed
surprise at the excellent condition OF
the road, which he found dry and
smooth.

that IL has been accepted as the best
solution of most difficult and COM
plex problem of vital Importance to
the economic welfare of the country
and the maintenance of our National
prosperity and financial integrity.
The Sentinel" asked Davis for an
expression of his views regarding the
McFadden bill and he said:
Practically all the ills from which
we are suffering are but the logical
result of currency and credit imitation
which has lowered the purchasing
power OF our circulating medium to
such an extent that the economic life
of our people has been SO upset as to
cause the dangerous unrest so prev
alent everywhere. More gold must
be produced with which to provide
additional security for our circulating
paper money and stabilize credits.
Not until this shall have been accom-
plished can we reasonably hope to re-
turn to anything approaching normal
conditions.
"The price of gold being fixed at
$20.65 an ounce, and the cost of ev-
erything entering into its production
having risen to a point where gener-
ally speaking, II can no longer be pro-
duced except at a loss, bonus is an
absolute necessity IL production is to
be increased. The price of the mon
ey metal cannot be increased without
SO completely deranging the world e
financial and credit structure as
would cause a catastrophe that would
spread UNPARALLELED ruin.
The trade consumed some twenty
millions more gold last year than
was produced in this country. This
was drawn from the reserve held by
the Government to secure our paper
money, thus decreasing its actual val
ue and its purchasing power, which
is measured by the higher prices for
everything we consume.
ITO provide bonus necessary to
stimulate the production without in
terfering with its value as a money
metal, an excise tax on all gold used
by the trade. which would be paid by
the buyers of jewelry, etc.. and in
turn paid to the producers of new
gold, seemed to be the best and only
way to meet the necessities of a
grave and desperate situation.
81 regard the McFadden bill as be-
ing the most important Of all the inn
portant matters before Congress, and
its early passage should be demanded
by all the people. ! have no doubt
of its ultimate passage, but every
days delay postpones just so long
the necessary preparation for re-
turn to normal and sane conditions

arts and trades, by imposing an ex-
else upon all gold used for other than
monetary purposes, and the payment

slt,es for the violation thereof.
The bill calls for a tax OF $40 an
ounce, which is to be paid to the pro-
ducers OF new gold, thus giving the
miner ssO.65 instead OF $2O.65 as at
present.
great benefit the passage OF the bill

" Is this true of the Eureka-Croesus,

critics. Clarence King, the greatest
mining geologist of his day, held the
belief that at depth the ores would be
found to be gold and copper Major
Catlin, who has given more study TO
the geology of the district than any
man living. agreed with King. The
lowest new workings in the Eureka
croesus mine show greatly increased
gold values, with considerable copper
shOwings in places. A decided change
In the character OF the ore below per-
manent water level Is certain. All
the evidence so far obtained from ac-
tual developments points to greatly
Increased gold values. Assuming,
however, that the percentage of gold
values does not increase with addi-
tional depth, $40 additional per
ounce of gold will make II possible
to work at a profit hundreds of
thousands of tons of ore which other
wise would not be worth mining. No
matter from what view point the bill
may be considered, IL would bring

passage and make profitable produc-

CAUSES GIVEN FOR
PRESENT PRICE EOFS|LvER

Reno Gazette: Satisfied require
ments for silver have caused India,
Japan and China to cease their heavy
purchases of the white metal. there
by causing the present slump in the
price of silver, is the view taken by
Senator Key Pitunan in a telegram
received from him by Henry NJ. Rives,
secretary of the Mine Operators As
soeiation.
The Senator explains that rumors
regarding the closing of the San
Francisco mint are unfounded. All
branch mints, he says, are required
70 close for a few days each year to
clean up. lie added that all mints
are accepting bullion for refinement
and settlement at 81 an ounce as
made on assay reports.
No Sales TO Orient
The Senator also reports that
treasury officials deny the Government
is selling silver to Oriental nations.
THE best authority for the slump
in price of silver that can obtain is
as follows" the telegram states: "At
the time of removal of the embargo
on shipments of silver, China, japan
and India were starving for silver be-
cause the amount they ordinarily abb
sorbed each month from the United
States had been cut off during the
war, The large purchases made by
these countries Immediately after
raising of the embargo not only
raised the price of silver quickly but
substantially satisfied requirements
of these countries.
German Purchases Not Yet Made
Germany was expected to buy sill
yer as resrve for her silver money
but she had nothing with which to
Duy. She could only buy silver with
money or with goods. II she bought
it with her paper money she would
have to pay about $40 in her own
money for each ounce of silver. Ger
many is not buying silver as expected
but is selling. She is selling her re-
serves because that is the only thing
she has to sell. With what silver she
has she can buy in the market at par.
This silver is temporarily helping to
satisfy the world demand"
The Senator adds that he believes
such conditions to be temporary and
that as commerce increases the de-
mand for silver will also increase.
Mint Purchases Silver
He explains that many inquiries
have been received by the Director of
the Mint asking whether silver will
be purchased If reduced in this ooun-
try but mined in another,
The Director of the Mint, Pittman
says, is reported to have construed
the law to mean that 1t is obligatory
for him to purchase at 81 an ounce
all silver offered him If the metal
we're mined and reduced in this coun-
Try. He will. however, not accept
any silver not produced and reduced
in this country. A certificate has
been prepared which must accom-
pany each shipment of bullion to the
mint before the sale will be consum-
mated
