SILVER ADVANCE
STIRS INTEREST

The sudden advance of 4 cents in
foreign silver provided bullion brok-
ers with more activity than they have
experienced in several months. II
was also the strongest one-day ad-
vance in more than year, according
to the Financial Review.
Shanghai was directly responsible
for this strength, having placed or
ders in the London market Ito buy
all silver offered" The quotation in
Shanghai was around SO cents. but
Chinese spectators were apparently
willing to go "along" against their
estimate of the actual situation.
1t is not known whether the politi-
cal situation in China has any posi-
tive influence on this stronger silver
market. An advance of General WI
Pei Flu against Peking would un-
doubtedly result in higher silver
prices, since the administration
would change and the paper money
decline in value. Cable dispatches
however, indicate more success on
the part of General Chang Tsao-Lin
and the southern forces of DR.. Sun
Vat Sen, which would mean a per-
petuation of the present Apolitical
status.
Exchange rates between New York
and Shanghai advanced from rs to
77ha held steady with India.
Trade conditions are now favorable
in the latter country and silver de-
mand is likely to be in evidence for
the rest of the year.
The Government has purchased
during the last week $4,000 ounces
of domestic silver under the provis-
ions of the Pittman Act and at the
99ss cents, net, an ounce price. Com
bined total since June IT, 1920, is
103,27S,6OS ounces, and for the year
to date. 14.763.72S ounces.
Great Britain paid this week its
second installment on its purchase
from this country during the war Of
silver dollars in the treasury Payment
was $19, 9,672,500 on the principal of
1922, 900. Another payment of
s1s,2O0,000 is due May Is and the
balance during the next two years.
Silver exports of the United States
in March were s5,3O6,561 in value
against imports of $6,953,105. To-
tai exports for the first three months
are $1S,219,S95, compared with $14,-
946,153 last year, and imports were
s16.375,344, against .$13,569,043 in
1921.

TO RESUME DRILLING
IN ILLIPAH WELL

]. E. Amenda, president of the Illi-
pah Petroleum Company, left Reno
Wednesday night for Tonopah and
will proceed Immediately to the Illi-
pah well. He expects to arrive in
time to resume drilling by Monday
morning. The Illipah quit drilling
at a depth of 67S feet. In the opin-
ion of geologists an oil sand should
be encountered at 9S2 feet. The bas-
is for this calculation is that an oil
sand carrying considerable oil was
encountered at that depth by the first
well drilled by the company. but
which later was abandoned. Mr..
Amenda has spent about a month in
western Nevada and has financed the
nlipah to a point that will carry the
bit to the oil sand.-Reno Journal.

EUREKA SCHOOL NOTES


The local support of a community
is always necessary to make an ac-
ton that pertains to that special COM
munity a success. II the town people
do not support their own interests,
II they refuse to even consider them,
then why should outside localities do
so?
In the work of publishing our an
nual. THE Booster" we have re-
ceived the splendid support of the
various business houses of Reno, Ely,
Elko, Fallon, and have even received
ads from California.
In considering the generosity of
the outside business houses, / firmly
believe that Eureka's business Sec
tions should eagerly RESPOND to our
requests for their different ads to put
in the high school annual.
wish to thank those who have
given support in the publishing of
this paper, and hope to receive the
very much needed aid from the re-
mainder.
