1884 SILVER OUTPUT
LIKELY TO SET RECORD

For the first time in years Western
silver smelters report sufficient work
in prospect to justify continued oper-
ations for an indefinite period, ac-
cording to a comment on Western
business by the Bank of America, Pa
cific Coast branch banking organiza-
ton.
The apparent improvement in the
silver mining industry which has re-
suited in the reopening Of extensive
operations in Colorado, Texas and
Nevada in recent months, is said to
demonstrate, for the first time, the eff
feet Of the presidential proclamation
of December 21- last, when the price
of newly-mined metal was raised to
64.5 cents an ounce.
West Coast smelters say that ship
ments Of silver-bearing ores have in
creased materially and it is antici-
pated that the domestic output OF the
refined metal during 1884 will estab-
lish a high mark for at least half a
decade.

CREDIT EXPANSION
DRIVE FORECAST
Government Expected to Pay
Huge Sums to Increase Spring
Employment.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

BOSTON, March 31.-To offset the
reform features which are now in the
forefront, says the United Business
Service, the administration will con-
tinue to spend money freely in line
with its plan to increase employment.
More money is expected to come out
of Washington during April and May
than in any other two months since
the new deal began.
Beyond the huge amounts which
will be spent for public works, the
new lending-to-industry scheme will
probably be decided upon soon, and
this should initiate a bank credit ex-
pansion which will be accompanied
by considerably larger trade volumes.

Rail Officials Confident That
Prosperous Times Actually
Are on Their Way

Marked increase in enthu-
SiaSEn for pleasure travel is
hailed by Pennsylvania Rail
road officials in Washington as
the prompt response Of the pub
lie to extensive air-conditioning
of trains and faster and more
frequent schedules. Railroad
men also believe it is one Of
the most encouraging signs
that prosperous times are def
nitely on their way.
The travel boom this winter
started in Florida and other
points of the far South. Now.
the SeaShore resorts Of New
jersey, only four hours from
Washington, are swinging into
q new stride.
While the summer season in
Atlantic City, Cape May, Wild
wood, ocean City, and other
noted vacation centers Of south
ern New jersey, is only just
beginning, travel to these points,
the local railroad officers say,
is already far ahead Of last
year, with every sign Of further
improvement later.
Ocean Points
The lower seaSnore fares are
proving a powerful attraction.
Rentals of cottages and apart
ments and inquiries for hotel
accommodations are reported
the best in several seasons.
Some Of the most delightful
early July bathing ever expe-
rienced has been enjoyed on
the south Jersey coast in the
last few days. The tempera-
ture of the ocean has risen
above 76 degrees, an unusual
figure for this time of year.
Visitors to Atlantic City and
elsewhere have been enjoying
remarkable tuna fishing only a
few miles off the coast. These
great fish have moved up along
the Gulf stream in unprece-
dented numbers and have been
reported as far north as Long
Island. Atlantic City is making
a strong bid as a center for the
taking of big ocean game fish.
The indications, it was stated
by the Pennsylvania Railroad
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1934-07-14

passenger men, are that the
more northern shore and noun
tain resorts Of New York, New
England and Canada are also
due for an active summer. In
spite Of the earliness Of the
season, q number Of camp
parties have already been
handled to the Maine woods
and elsewhere.
Other important inducements
to pleasure travel are the con-
tinuance this year Of the Chi
cago Fair, and the fact that
the Federal Government has
designated 1884 as National
Parks Year.
All of the Pennsylvania
through trains to Chicago have
been air-conditioned, and this
applies also to its trains to st.
Louis, the other principal gate
way through which the Ma
tional Parks of the far West are
reached.
The Pennsylvania is now
serving Washington with a
total of 70 trains daily, of which
SIS are aforementioned. These
include approximately half Of
the railroads fleet of air-condi-
toned trains, the largest Of any
system in the world.
Identification
It was pointed out by Penn
sylvania officials that although
the lines Of six railroad systems
serve Washington, more than
one-third of the city's daily
trains are operated over the
Pennsylvania. Hourly service,
on the fastest schedules ever
OPERA ID, is now provided from
Washington to New York, on
air-conditioned trains, from Z
a. m. to 8 p. M, inclusive.
To this is added through
train service to Atlantic City,
to Boston and other New Eng
land points, to Montreal and
eastern Canada, and to the
West and North, besides the
shorter runs to Baltimore and
Philadelphia.
The Pennsylvania 100000
900 identification project be-
tween New York and Washing
ton is being pushed rapidly to
conclusion aided by a $77.000,-
900 Public Works Administra-
ton advance. The remaining
gap south of Wilmington is fast
closing and early in 1885 it is
expected that the clean, con-
venient, speedy electric service
for all trains, both passenger
and freight, will be in full
operation.

Alaskan Travel.
Makes Big
Gain

NEW YORK, July Al. e.
Roach, general agent in New
York for the Canadian Pacific
Railway, stated today that the
demand for space on the com.
pany's Princess" liners sailing
in July from Vancouver to and
from Alaska has been so great
that the Canadian Pacific has
been compelled to add another
vessel to the four Sailings al
ready scheduled.
This will be the Princess
Alice, sailing from Vancouver
July 10. Up to this time, no
space whatever has been avail
able, the regular sailings being
completely sold out.
Although travel to Alaska was
heavy last year, it is far heavier
this year, and it is expected to
be still more popular in 1885.

liners sail once q week during
the season for Vancouver, call
ing ct Alert Bay, Prince Rupert,

A new booklet, recently put out
by Endless Caverns. Incorpo-

ors and the inside in black,
white, orange and red, has
proven so popular that the
first edition of $4,000 was ex-

Brown, president of Endless
Caverns, Incorporated, today.
Additional printings in larger

as possible" said Major Brown,
"as we expect to distribute
100000 of these throughout the
United States and Canada dur
ing the next IL months. Last
year we advertised Endless Cav
ernS and the Shenandoah Val
ley Of Virginia with 100000
booklets, and. with increased
business plus increased de-
mand for this more beautiful
folder, we should PUT out ut
least 400, 1000 this year.
1--WE had the first printings
done in small units Of $4,000
each so as to be able to make
any changes that might be
necessary. But no changes are
needed, and compliments about
the modern beauty of the book
let are reaching US from all

Travellers and tourists are
finding the new booklet invalu-
able because it not only con.
