Says Britain Must
Recognize Silver
In a lengthy editorial based
on the view that the British
pound sterling is headed for
early deflation which may re
duce it to one-half its present
value of $4.78, the Vancouver
Sun declares that Britain must
either recognize silver as a
world monetary medium or
provide some form of interna
tional exchange or credit so
that silver countries who have
no gold can buy goods from
Britain.
Pointing out that against an
esimated national wealth of
90 billion pounds, Britain has
a total funded and floating
debt of about one-half, or 45
billion pounds, the journal
asks:
“Will the pound sterling,
then, be forced to drop to one
half of its present artificial val
ue of $4.87? Or will sterling,
like the French franc, drop to
one-fourth of its nominal val
ue?
Will British politicians drop
or drastically reduce the dole
and social legislation? Will
they watch their trade com
pletely vanish with silver
countries like India and China,
without making a move to rec
ognize silver as a world mon
etary medium? Or, in lieu of
that, provide some form of in
ternational exchange or credit
so that silver countries who
have no gold can buy goods
from Britain?”
Continuing the Sun says:
“The Per capita debt of
Britain’s 40 million population
is over one thousand dollars.
The per capita of Chin’s 450
million population is one dol
lar. The necessity and oppor
tunity of further credit to
China, or else recognition of
China’s silver, seems obvious.
“Until the paper currency of
all nations has an equality of
value in international ex
change, only a metallic money
can meet the needs of foreign
trade. Notwithstanding this
fact. British bullionists and
politicians, obdurate like Cob
den Free Traders, refuse to
i recognize any metal money but
gold, blindly overlooking the
i fact that the United States and
France have locked up in their
vaults close to eight of the
world’s small supply of ten
billion dollars in gold.”
The Editors Futile Work
I
Like all good community
boosters, Editor Shannon ~of
| he Commerce (Ga.) news
I .l ies to aid his home merchants
| jy advocating a trade at home
policy.
And like many another good
community booster, Editor
Shannon sometimes gets dis
couraged through lack of ap
preciation on the part of those
for whom he tries to boost.
But let him tell it in his own
concise fashion:
“Two weeks ago we penned
the best editorial we knew
1 how to write, doing our best
i to encourage the people of all
this section to patronize home
merchants—and bless your
heart, honey, not a single bus
iness man in Commerce has
( even said ‘Thank you.’ That
i goes to show what it goes to
show.”
Which in turn leads another
I
journal of the same state to re
1 mark that if Editor Shannon
had urged to “buy it away
from home,” he would never
have lived long enough to hear
the last of the hollar that
would have been raised.

iTourist (in Yellowstone Park) ;
“Those Indians sure have a
blood-curdling yell.”
Guide: “Yes everyone of them
j is a college graduate.”
“Are you the man that made
that long drive from the last
tee?”
“Yes, siree, I'm the man.”
“Are you sure it was you?”
i “Yep, certain, Pretty wasn’t
it—270 yards.”
“Well, you owe me a new
windshield and rear window.”
“Children should be seen and
not heard,” grandpa warned
| little Willie.

thing he wants to,” bristled
his mother. “I sold three of
his bright sayings last month.
A wealthy auto tourist lost
his pedigreed dog while stop
ping in a small town. He in
serted a lost ad in the news
paper, offering a reward of
$100.
The next day he went to the
office to inquire, but no one
was to be found except a de
crepit janitor.
“Where the thunder is the
newspaper force?’’ asked the
tourist impatiently.
“They’re all out,” the old
man replied, “trying to find
your dog.”
—
He: “I’m going to speak to
your father now. And what!
shall I tell him?”
She: “Well, he’ll want to
know what you work at. By
the way what do you do?”
He: “I’m selling electric re
frigerators now.”
She: “Perhaps you’d better j
not mention that. Father drives
an ice wagon.”
Passerby: “Begging with two
j hats? Whats the idea?”
! Begger: "Yep. Business was
| so brisk I had to enlarge the
j shop.”
A Rookie in the cavalry was |
told to report to the lieutenant.
“Private Rooner,” said the
officer, “take my horse down
ind have him shod.”
For three hours the lieuten
rnt waited for his horse. Then
mpatiently he sent for Rooney, j
“Private Rooney,” he said, ;
‘where is that horse I told 1
/ou to have shod?”
“Omigosh!” gasped the pri
vate. growing pale around the
/ills, “Omigosh! Did you say
shod?”

TEN YEARS OR SO AGO
From the Hyder Alaska Miner
August 24, 1921.
The first shipment of con
centrates ever sent down Port
land Canal went out on the
Albert yesterday, consisting
of 160 tons and currently re
ported to be worth between
$1,500 and $2,000 a ton, which
would make this cargo worth
a quarter of a million dollars
or more.
The concentrates were the
product from four Wilfley
tables operating in the new
Premier mill, which is now j
handling about 100 tons daily j
of the second grade ore. The i
tailings from the tables are !
being saved for future treat- j
ment by eyaniding, the cyanide
plant now practically complet
ed.
Max Lepovatz has sold his
interest in the Golden Gate
Cigar Store to his partners,
Nick Belyin and Marko Sav- j
ovich.
About ten tons of ore from !
ihe Fish Creek Mining com
pany’s property went out on
he George Sunday. The trail j
up the mountain to the camp \
is now practically impassable j
for pack horses and no more j
heavy loads can be taken over j
it until it dries or freezes.
John Anderson, who went i
under the name of John Alin, i
the “Terrible Swede,’’ as a
profesional wrestler, and who j
came over from Ketchikan in
his launch last week, was
found dead in the door of his i
tent on the bank of Salmon
River Monday morning, Ber
nard M. Stone making the
gruesome discovery. Dr. R. N.
Rogers performed a post mor
tem examination and pro
nounced death due to cerbral
hemmorhage, causing para
lysis of the left side.
Paddy McDonnell has pur
chifsed the Bungalow Cigar
Store and rooms.
E. B. Bartholf was down
this week from the Outland
Silver Bar and says that a trial
shipment of 21/s> tons of $350
ore is sacked ready for pack
ing across the Glacier to the
trail at the Hercules property.
An account of the present ex- j
cessive cost of transportation, I
it is not the intention, to ship
any more ore until better fac
ilities are valuable.
George Mehlfield was down
this week from the north fork
of the Marmot, where he and
his partner, Clay Porter, are
working on their property. Mr.
Mehlfeld brought down some
samples for assay, one showing
almost solid steel galena, with
a fine grain, and another con
taining steel galena and what
appears to be iron oxide. The
former went 902 ounces in as
says. They have taken 7 as
says since starting their tun
nel and the average content
per ton in silver has been 7110
ounces. The average gold con
tent has been $2, with one
sample running $16. The ore
has not been tested for lead
but appears to carry a suf
ficient quantity of this metal
to pay mining and shipping ex
penses. The tunnel is now in
65 feet it has a vertical depth (
of 50 feet at the face. At pres- j
ent the shoot of high grade is j
about a foot in width, but there *
is a considerable additional
tonnage of milling ore being'
developed. ,
