SILUER PURGHASE Upon Day They Stood Before Altalz ‘w‘"’ / HN \ =l WSS ENLIVEN TRADE. Treasury Orders, Says | Veteran Writer, Source of Great Rejoicing \ DENVER,, Aug. 10.—“The principal | effect of the resumption of silver pur- chases by the Treasury Department, under the necessity of an increased demand for subsidiary coins,” said General Frank Hall, the veteran min- ing writer, in a signed article in the Denver Post today, “will be to stimu- late the production of silver-bearing ores from mines already opened. Cer- tain mines that have been closed since 1893 will be reopened, because the market will be more stable and in the ever-present hope of an advance in price. This implies early enlarge- ment of both milling and smelting fa- cilities. It means, moreover, increased activity in all lines of business, the employment of more men, and a flood of prosperity for all railways which penetrate the mining regions. It also liable to multiply orders for min- ing machinery and all supplies enter- ing into mine work. “Nothing that has occurred in tle last decade has caused more rejoicing among producers of minerals than the action taken by the Secretary of the Treasury just promulgated. The bene- ficial influence will be felt throughout Colorado and all the mining States of the West. It will augment the pro- duction of gold and also of rare metals. An increased output of silver means a larger volume of lead, zinc and cop- per, for these metals are so closely associated that it is practically im- | possible to increase one without a cor- | responding increase of the others.” Brief l.ocal News.
