SILVER MINING REVIVAL
TAKING PLACE IN MEXICO

CHIHUAHUA CITY, Chihuahua,
Mexico. Aug. II (By The Associated
Press) Silver mines are being OPP
Grated in Mexico at a good profit, it
is said. with silver selling around 20
cents an ounce.
When silver is below so cents,
mines in this country cannot be
worked at a profit, as rule. When
silver is above this figure a small
profit. hardly worth while, as the
usual thing, can be made, but when
it reaches 70 lroft around 10
cents an ounce is made. With silver
selling at 70 cents. or thereabout,
consequently there is big revival
in the mining bust less of this coun-
try. and especially in the state of
Chihuahua which produces the prin-
cipal part of Mexico's silver yield.
Old mines are being re-worked
thoroughly. and prospecting is going
ON in almost an unprecedented de-
gree.
