the Lewis and Clark County Min
ing Association has presented a
resolution to the Legislative as

Asserting that no great Ques-

settled right. and that the mining
interests Of the state did not
advocate the measure as dole
or subsidy. the resolution con

bi-metallism at said ratio. We
believe in sound money. We do
not want cheap dollar; but we
do maintain that our nation and
its people, and humanity at

a precious metal basis, sufficient
in amount and adequately stab |

Accident Results In
Rich Mine Discovery

KINGMAN, Ariz., Feb 4-Stories of
finding rich mines has always had flavor
of romance to even the old prospector who
has been in many of the great pilgrimages
and rushes into new territories. At the camp
fire many of the strikes have been talkd ov-
er and over to furnish subject for discussion
to while away the evening. The finding of
the Metallic Accident mine at Mineral Park
was the subject of many of these discussions
and would appear to have been as follows:

yer IS his (Borah's) suggestion
that the white metal be remone-
tized as a means of halting the
decline in commodity prices and
achieving that relation which
would tighten debts, taxes and all
forms of fixed charges. His case
is strengthened by the advantage
which depreciation Of curreneies
has given our competitors In
world markets. They have adopt
ed the expedient Of reducing the
gold equivalent OF their curren-
cies instead of resorting to an
other metal. Austria leads the
procession in fixing definitely the
amount Of this devaluatioa
which, in the case Of the schil-
ling, Is to be % per cent. It is
probably but a matter Of time
before most of the other 43 ma
tons off the gold standard will
fail in line and establish new
and lower gold equivalents for
their currency.
1T should be noted that sill
yer has declined more or less
steadily during the past 40 years,
while gold, on the other hand,
reveals no fixed trend during the
same period In recent years the
exchange value Of silver has
been much more constant than
that Of gold, from which Il may
be argued that silver being more
stable in value would make
better monetary baae.''
