WATCH
SILVER SITUATION

Financial centers of the East are
5ecoming more interested in the min
ng industry Of Nevada, according to
Colonel Winfield Scott Proskey. who
las returned to Reno from New York
where he spent several months on
business, says the Reno Gazette. Mr..
Proskey was accompanied by his wife
md family and they expect to reside
in Reno for the winter.
Silver mines are of more interest
in the worlds financial circles than
for years." he said. The question
of having silver to reinforce the gold
supply has presented a serious prob
lem to the bankers and any man with
a good silver prospect can now OBJ
tain a hearing in New York or Lon
don.
THE belief seemed to have pre-
vailed In the East for years that there
were numerous silver mines that
could produce any quantity OF ore av-
eraging ten ounce to the ton. Just
how this belief started 1t is difficult
to determine, but many men of means
and who would be expected to under
stand something of the mining indus
try, have asked me about %ten-ounce
mines. The impression was that such
mines could be opened at any time
in Nevada. And, Fasteners are now
ready to open such mines with silver
at one dollar an Nevadans
do not need to be told that ten-ounce
silver mines are scarce even in this
great silver producing state.
However" he continued, "condi-
lions are shaping for a revival of in
vestment in Nevada mines and capital
is the greatest need of the state to
develop Il which we really
