The Silver Shortage. There is at present an immense shortage of silver and at the same time an unprecedented demand for it. ' One explanation for this unusual condition lies in the fact that silver is the standard employed in Oriental , countries and that the commercial expansion now in progress be- ; tween the West and the East is on the : grand scale. For example, the increasing volume of America's trade with India and China calls for practi- < cally unlimited supplies of the white metal. Then again, in many countries silver is more valuable in the mass than when minted. On the continent of Europe silver coins disappear like magic, because it is more profitable to x Xnllinn than t.n use turn tiicju uiw vuuivu v.??u. them for ordina-y selling and buying. The combined result of the scarcity and the demand is necessarily to en- . hance the price of the commodity. It must therefore inure to the benefit of silver mine owners everywhere. The United States and Mexico furnish between them nearly three-fourths of i the world's yearly output of silver, j but if report speaks truly they are likely to have a strong competitor in the deposits recently located in northern British Columbia. Despite severe ; winter conditions, prospectors and miners, some on snow shoes and others ! in dog sleds, -warmed to the new . mineral belt. The rich strikes' reported to have been already made on claims opened for development only last summer be- 1 wilder the imagination. We read of "native silver ir great gleaming slabs" hoinc broueht to Anyox for exhibi- ' ti<m, of 7,000 tons of "high-grade ruby silver" being sent to the smelters from a single mine, of two men in one I day putting $10,000 worth of silver ore into sacks for shipment to Tacoma. At one of the mines, reported to be the biggest of its kind known to , exist, large tractors have to be used ( as transports for the ore. Besides 1 these boundless potentialities of grow- ] iqg rich beyond the dreams of avarice, i the traditional jewels of Golconda and shawles of Cishmere hide their di- j minished heads. , Sometimes, of course, these tall < tales are mere traps for the unwary, 5 "springes to c*tch woodcocks," as Polonius would put it, but in the present ? ? Ynntivp for misrepresentation < seems to be absent, and the finds reported are apparently well authenti cated. Should these Canadian ore t beds realize only half of what is " claimed for them, the effect of such large quantities thrown on the market J will be to ease a highly straitened sit- j uation and thereby tend to enable < trade and commerce to flow once more j 1 in their normal channels.?Washing-' ( ton Post. ] o The dutch weather prophet, who : seems to have unusual ability in fore- j casting weather conditions, tells us < that April will continue wet and thai May will bring unseasonably cold weather at varying periods, especially about the middle of the month.
