Most of British Columbia's silver mines are closed down owing to the continued low price of the metal. Mexico, one of the big silver producing countries, is seeing her mines working at a loss, and sus- pending operations as we'll. And despite the oceans of talk about the problem of this once precious metal losing it's value. nothing has been accom- polised so far towards the sta bilizing of it's price, by con certed international action. London the worlds money market, looks coldly upon the proposal. With the price of silver stabilized, gone would be the opportunity to make a profit on it's fluctuations. And still more coldly on the pro- posal looks Britain's Chancel- Tor, the Hon. Philip Snowdon. So that's that. But meantime, silver is rising in price, though ever so slowly.-Mining and Industrial Record.

Borah Denounces Initiation

(From the New York Times account of the Conference of Progressive Senators at Wash ington, D. c. March II, 1881 )
 Senator Borah said the de- pression has been "accentuat- ed" by a "coterie of capital ists." Everybody, he said, was cognizant, however, of the fact that a worldwide condi- tion must be dealt with.
 ''But nevertheless, I venture to say," Senator Borah contin- ued, that our own present de- pression and the experience through which we are passing has been accentuated and deepened by a coterie of cap- italists, who inaugurated the most vicious era of speculation and imitation of which the world gives any record.

 "They thereby drew from legitimate trade and commerce capital which should have been operating there for the benefit of the whole country. They drew into their meshes of speculation and imitation hundreds of thousands of people; stripped them, not to say robbed them, of their life S earnings, threw them back up- on cociety to wander hopeless and helpless in life, or to seek an ending in suicides grave as thousands dld.

Now, however, the editorial staff is slowly on the mend; (We mended our trowsies three days ago.) the reportorial staff is making good in the usual nondescript manner; the mechanical staff, though weak in the knees, is able to set at the case ("set is the correct word and not "sit") and the business staff may be on the job after awhile. No one will lose anything through the visi- tation as the business staff has been instructed to credit sub- scribers and advertisers ahead for missed numbers.
 Thanking you for your kind indulgence"
 Dissatisfied over living con- ditions at the Premier mine, augmented by a wage reduct- ion with no corresponding re- duction in the price of board, and intensified by the abrupt discharge of 60 men, have caused a general strike at the mine and a sympathetic strike of tramline employees and teamsters, including the dri- vers of the caterpillar tractors. Overcrowding in the bunk house, lack of sufficient dry ing space and wage reduct- ions ranging from 75 cents to SIPS per day were among the conditions complained of.
