]. W. Walker of Cherry Creek. who
was an Ely visitor during the week
states that he has recently granted
lease to Smith and Godbe on n
olock OF ground on the old Ex-
chequer property, and that the leas-
ers now have small force of men
at work. Before taking the lease
Messrs Smith and Godbe took ten
average samples of the mine, which
gave them results of 60 ounces. They
have commenced work on ore and ex-

OF meeting to be held at the Reno
Chamber OF Commerce next FRIDAY
and Saturday, August 26-27.
Each county has been asked ia
sehd nve representatives selected by
its Iarm bureau, one each for the no.
tato, grain, haw, livestock and diary
interests.
Bankers and chambers of COM
merce OF the state have interested
themselves in the movemnt to pro-
vide a state marketing association.
among whose function will be those
or establishing prices and dealing CO.
operatdTely with buying agencies, both
within and without the state.
The association is expected to be a
benefit in equalizing conditions of
supply and demand throughout the
state on farm products.
Tnus' with an oversupply of hay
In one section and shortage in an
other, it would be the business of tho
association to get fair price for
the ranchers where the crop is abun-
oant and supply hay at a fair price
IA the shortage district. Outside
marketing conditions would be watch
ed' so that when advantageous prices
were offered shipments could be
made promptly.

Alps mine came from the developed
area between the second level and
:he surface and it is worthy of note
that the porphyry dixie which oene-
trates the formation to a point above
the third level does not reach a high
er horizon. In view of the intense
.orce that must have been necessary
10 force this great mass of porphyry
upward for so great a distance
through the overlaying formations IL
seems strange that further penetra-
tion of the stratas to the surface was
not accomplished, and there is evil
dence pointing to the possibility that
the upper portion of the dyke has
been faulted into it's presentpositions
II this is the case the territory con-
tanning the prolific Alps ore bodies
may also have been subject to similar
faulting and exploration may un-
cover the extension of these deposits
at depth. On the other hand IL this
extensive faulting has not taken
place it follows that in resisting the
upthrust of the porphyry dixie fis-
suring must have occurred within the
dike as well as in the territory adj

should offer fruitful field for ex
ploration.

From Philadelphia comes word
that after a SLOWING down June and
July the Philadelphia mint has re-
sumner the coinage of standard silver
dollars at the rate of 100000 per
Sday. Minting of the new dollars had
been increased from an initial daily
output of $4,000 when coinage was
resumed late in February to 100000
In May, but with the annual settle
ment which is made ar the close of
June and which runs over into July
the output fell considerably below
this figure. Production in July was
2,45O,0O0 pieces, but it will be en-
siderably increased during the pres
ent month.
In addition to the PHILADELPHIA
mint the mints at San Francisco and
Denver are also turning out SUBJ
stantial amount of dollars daily from
dies made at the mint here The dol
lars are being stored at the mints
where they are coined, about Is, 5,O00,- /
ooOdollars being locked in the vaults
OF the Philadelphia mint.
Dollars are being coined under the
Plttman act which authorizes the re-
placement of the 270,121,554 dollars
melted during and following the war
large part of which found their way
IN shape of bullion bars to India. |
Agitation continues for the repeal of
the Plttman act, the most recent at
tempt being letter from banking
and currency committee of the Phila-
.delphla board of trade, but in mining
circles the belief holds firm that the
present administration will live up to
the promises made to the silver pro-
aucers prior to the passage of the
Pittman act.
Some time last year the secretary
OF the treasury directed the director of
the mint to purchase 20S,00O 900
ounces of silver under the Pittman
