Rush to Silver Mines on Again Mining Camps Long Asleep Are Threatening Renewal of For mer Activity. SCARCITY OF METAL IS CAUSE Salt Lake City Thronged With Pros pectors on Way to Mountains Demand Is Greater Than Available Supply. Salt Lake City, Utah.-The quest of silver, which played so important a part in the development of this country, Is again attracting large num bers of fortune-seekers to the West. For the first time in many quiet years. Salt Lake City is thronged with pros pectors on their way back and forth from the mountains, where mining camps that have slumbered longer than Rip Van Winkle are stirring In thelr sleep and threatening a renewal of their former activity. Silver is once more conming Into its own. The reason Is that the world's demand for it is much greater than thi present available supply, which condition is sumicienf to keep the price of silver at a fair figure for years to comne. One hears much excited coijecture as to the future of the metal here in Salt Lake City, which is the greatest smelting cenfer to the world. As such, It receives practically all of the silver ore produced on this continent e from Mexico and Chnada as well as that from Utah, Nevada and Montana mines. The largest silver miace are in Mexico; the largest sil ver mine In this country is in Mon, tana, sad the second largest in Utah. Same of this product is shipped by way it Se Francisco to the Orient, but the greater part goes to London. The history eof silver, of its rise and elmi. is curiously romantic. Once a king among metals, fought for by po tentates and pirastt and capable of drawingt a army of fortune-hunters acreos a continent, silver tottered and fell, efter demomewttmtion n 18st. ua t dosses of siver minaes were com paeed to. doae down. Before the late war the owner of a silver mine was et ft be envied. He was in the same posies as aso many owners ot geld dalms today. who cannot afford- to eprat them. Minnlg costs were too b a. nad the price of sliver too low. Te 'greatest demand tfr silver has always bees in the Orient. There are only two great tountries in the world which ae not on a gold basis, and these are China and India. They are the chie so-eslld silver nations. This in because they are heavily nla debt to ether astleha and must trade with them a, whatever terms their creti tor see t.

U itteu that a geat -i - ur lI deal of metal Is hoarded from gen eration to generation, through which it Is passed down much in the same form as the families of other nations pass down their real estate. Widows in India, for Instance, have no dower rights, but they are permitted to keep their ornaments, which naturally causes the native women to demand as many silver necklaces as possible. All of the Indian supply of silver coinage is provided by the British government, which therefore has al ways been Interested in keeping the price of silver down. For when the price of silver rises above the value of the Indian roupee, which is 94 cents, everybody Immediately melts his supply of roupees and sells them for bullion. There is one group of four brokers In London which has been setting the price of silver for the rest of the world for a long period of years. One firm is In its sixth generation. They meet at 11 o'clock every morning, and exchange orders. Some have buying orders and some selling orders, and on the basis of these orders they fix the price of sil ver for the day. War Prices of Sliver. The custom suffered a severe check with the war. Then the British gov ernment and the other allied govern ments were in need of unusually large quantities of the metal with which to pa* China and India for war supplies. Most of this silver they had to buy from the United States. There was not nearly sufilcient metal on hand in this country to supply the demand. and the price started rising. As an ally in the war, the United States government was compelled to inter fere and set an export price on sil ver at $1.01 1-8 an ounce, which was higher than Great Britain had ever permitted It to go, but not as high as American mine owners liked. Then, as the demand for the metal became acute, and it was also needed to meet our own adverse trade bal ance with India, congress passed what is known as the Pittman act, author Ising the secretary of the treasury to melt down 850,000,000 silver dollars held in the vaults of the treasury and to sell the bullion. The sliver certfi cates outstanding against these dol lars were to be previously retired and their place In the circulation to be takep by notes issued by the fed eral reserve banks, secured by spe cial deposits of Unlted States treas ry certificates.

Imme diately the price of silver started soaring until last December it reached the unprecedented figure of $1.33 an ounce. Everybody began melting down his silver heirlooms for bullion, which sold at a tremendous profit. Silver plate and ornaments bought in the years 1141 and 19K5 when silver was selling at from 52 to 60 cents an ounce, suddenly became worth twice as much. It looked as if whole for tunes were to he made in old spoons and knives and forks. But in a short time the silver bubble hurst. The Flood of Bullion. For Europe also had plenty of sil ver heirlooms and coins, and every country, including Germany, started flooding the market with bullion from these sources. Then came the Jap anese panic, which hit the market hard, because a good deal of trada through China and India. is handled by Japan. The price of silver once more declined until it reached $1. THere the United States government once more Interfered and guaranteeo it to remain at this figure by agree Ing to buy the silver necessary to re place the dollars taken from the treasury during the war. Thus, today there are two prices for silver-one in this country, and one for the rest of the world, set by the same old group of brokers in Lon don. London no longer controls the price for American silver, however, which It must buy at a loss. With this government guaranty. the production of silver is now profitable enough to cause the old mines to re sume operation and new sources to be sought.

ALASKA APPEALS TO YOUTH Newspaper in Great Northern Terri tory Premises Fortune to the Young and Adventurous. The sage advice of Greeley was nev er more applicable than It Is today In Alaska, observes the Alaska Capital. What the country needs is the op timism of youth, coupled with an ad herence to the advice of Doctor Kilgor of Trinity collaree North Carolina. when he said: "Young men, the sages will tell you to be prudent; prudence belongs to the daring of youth-the spirit of adventure that will develop individuality." Reduce this philosophy to Alaskan terms, and we find that the. territory just now needs youth to finish the structure upon the foundation laid by those wonderful pioneers whom we reverence and admire. Thq raw ma terials are here, materially and ethical ly all that is needed is for the next generation succeeding the pioneers to step Into the trallA blazed for them and finish the job.

Many prisons and penitentiaries have baseball teams composed of Inmates, and the national sport has done much to revive the health and spirits of prisoners. These baseball teams are uniformed and play a regular schedule of gdlhes, but of necessity these games are always played on the prison home grounds. One of the best known prison teams Is that of Sing Sing. It is known as the Mutual Welfare league teak, and last season It won more than 95 per cent of games played wit` visiting nines. The prison baseball field has a splendidly graded surface, and there are bleachers for spectators. The team plays Saturday and Sunday after noons. Visiting teams come from New Jersey and Connecticut. The prison team has won from some of the best semnt-professional nines In these states. The Eastern penitentiary in Philadel phia has long maintained a baseball team, and has developed many good players. Thoir Choice. The children were going to have a stepfather. Mother had just made the announcement and was waiting to hear their opinions of her choice. Nine-year-old Ruth's came first. "but, mother, he hasin't any hair," she pro tested. Mother smiled. She had been afraid they might offer worse ones than this. "But your own daddy didn't have much." she smiled. For a minute Ruth was silenced, but she was thinking. "I know, moth er," she admitted, "but you wvere young when you chose him. Now you know more and it does seem like you ought to be'a better chooser." Out of Place.' A book-lover was seated In his II brary, surrounded by scattered vol umes. Encouraged by the reports of discoveries of valuable fragments of manuscripts in other people's books, he was having a little search of his own. His small son was on the floor assisting the enterprise. "Father," said the child solemnly. suddenly breaking the silence, "does every book ha'e a flyleaf?" "CPrtainly." replied the father, "un less it has been torn out." "Well," said the child, in a tone of deep concern, "I've just found a fly squashed on the wrong page!" Practice and Theory.
