SILVER CLIMBING UP

New York, Sept. 22.-An advance
in the price of bar silver in London
to-day, due mainly to a continuance
of the demand from China and India,
was met by an advance here to sixty
eight and fve-eighths cents an ounce.
This is an increase of about two
and one-half cents from yesterdays
lowest quotations, three and one
fourth cents from that of September
Is, and six and one-half cents over
the price quoted three weeks ago.
Incidentally, far Eastern remit
tances made further sharp gains. The
Chinese Shanghai rate of exchange,
which is governed almost entirely by
movements of bar silver in London.
registered an overnight advance Of
two cents to seventy-nine cents per
tael. A month ago this quotation
was as low as seventy-one and one
half cents.
Local dealers say that apart from
heavy purchases of silver for the ORR
ent, the diminishing supply of the
metal due to the virtual suspension
OF mining is an important factor,

SAYS NEW PAHRUMP WELL
WILL WATER 1000 ACRES

Tonopah, Nevada, Sept. 22.-Jos-
eph A. Sheerin drove up from Pah-
rump ranch In the extreme southeast
ern end of Nye County with informa-
tion that confirms reports received
last week that the Pahrump Ranch
ing Company has struck an artesian
flow that will water nearly 1 600 acres.
The artesian belt was cut at 42S feet
from a hole sunk along the mesa be-
tween the Pahrump and Manse ranch
es. Another we'll that was sent down
600 feet into hard limestone was
abandoned, although the company
had intended sinking to 1900 feet in
quest of oil. In this hole the water
rises to within ten feet Of the surface.

FORTUNE SMILES ON
EUREKA COUNTY RANCHER

Mr. and Mrs. Floyd X. Grimes of
Rannell's Greek. about 40 miles west
OF Eureka, were visitors here Thurs
day. They are engaged In ranching
and stockraising. and like nearly ey-
cry one following these pursuits have
not found the present outlook overly
bright. But this has now all been
changed and they have quit worrying
or caring. for the present at least,
about low prices for ranching pro-
ducts.
When Mr.. Grimes settled on his
present location In 1915 he dug a
well SIS feet deep without encounter
ing water and abandoned further ef-
fort to obtain 1t on the ranch. The
creek that runs through the ranch
supplies water most Of the year, but
there are several months when it is
necessary for them to haul all the
water they use.
Recently . neighbor reached their
ranch and was invited to remain for
dinner. While stroiling about the
place while the meal was being pre-
pared, he reached the old abandoned
well and dropped . rock down it to
Judge its depth. He heard the rock
drop into the water, but could not
definitely determine the depth of the
we'll and while at dinner asked Mr..
Grimes why the we'll was not being
used. Mr.. Grimes gave him a very
broad smile and answered that 1t was
because they had never been able to
strike any water.
When informed that there was
plenty Of water in the well by his Wis
itor. and why he knew It was there,
the family Jumped up from the table
and went out to the well to investi-
gate.
The water was there. and plenty OF
1t.
Mr.. Grimes has had the we'll baled
out sufficiently to learn that a fine
stream of water had broken through
into the well near the bottom and
that he will now have an ample sup
ply for all domestic and stock pur-
poses.
