SILVER MINER
WILL SOON BE
IN DEMAND
WASHINGTON, May 29.—With all
restrictions on export of silver re
moved by both England and the
United States, the western silver
camps are looking for a grand revival
of the white metal. Costs of supplies
which in some phases have reached
150 per cent—and labor—which still
holds against reduction in wages, will
temporarily prevent a boom condition
—but labor—between 65 and 70 per
cent of total cost, will no doubt meet
the readjustment conditions and share
in the promised prosperity. Thirty
years ago silver sold at 92 cents an
ounce. Low costs made silver mining
a good investment—and finds of rich
ore created bonanza stampedes—and
fortunes. Today 92 cents would pro
duce a profit for the big producers of
“mixed” ores who develop silver as
a “side issue”—but even $1 is not at
tractive and silver miners found in
creasing costs ate up the profits and
destroyed the “lure” of the game. The
government is slow in returning the
silver loaned to it during the war and
inaction has been so marked during
the past six months that even China’s
offer of $1.06 last week failed to en
courage big movement. “Wages will
go back to a reasonable scale, based
on costs and profits,” said a leading
silver producer at the American Min
ing Congress headquarters—“and the
open market will bring silver to $1.10
plus before long—and then you will
see many of the old camps come to
life and the big producers unwater
their neglected mines. It will be a
big day for the west when that hap
pens.”
Mexico, once a great silver pro
ducing country is so badly disorganiz
ed as the result of the continuous in
ternecine strife, that very litle silver
has been produced from her mines
during the past four years and she is
now a negative quantity. Tonapah
and Colbalt, the two big producing
districts in North America have past
the peak of their production and the
fact that there has been a general
slowing down of copper and lead, with
which silver has been an important
by-product, has resulted In a well
nearly exhausted market and opens
the way for a quick rise in the white
metal when labor costs can be ad
justed. The annual demand for silver
totals 350 million ounces an excess of
170 million ounces above the annual
production figures, which indicate that
the silver miner will have his inning
when once the upward movement
begins.

LOOKING AFTER
MORTALTTY OF
THE BABIES
WASHINGTON, May 29 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Weighing and meas
uring tests of children were held in
16,811 communities during the
Children’s Year campaign instituted
by the children’s bureau to reduce the
infant mortality rate. To this total
should be added many records com
ing from rural sections not listed as
postoffices. One third of the total
communities having postoffices in the
United States held tests.
Illinois had tue r_eatest number of
cities and tow.) i participating in the
campaign—1,261. Wisconsin lead in
the actual number of babies weighed
and measured, as already announced,
but the records came from 1,065
towns, ranking third in that respect.
Iowa was second in the number of
communities participating, having
1,212 and Ohio was fourth, with 944.
Indiana came fifth with 786. Prom far
off Hawaii three cities—Honolulu,
Kakuku and Tora—sent records.
The weighing and measuring cam
paign is being followed up by the
work of local committees seeking to
make permanent the improvements
shown by the tests to be necessary.
Many committees are employing pub
lic health nurses and providing cen
ters where the poor can obtain free
medical advice.
