Silver tumbled j i8j today, an J lead remained firm yesterday's price of $4.62j. Silver and Lead. It requires but fow figures and. .very idle rhetoric to demonstrate the effect ut the ruling price of silver and lead exerting upon the mining iudustry nd'the sinew to which it furnishes era-lovment era-lovment throughout the country, nder the relentless tyrannies- of the ,,ld hug, the silver metal for many ears was held below its natural level, j price of course drawing the distinc-ioa distinc-ioa between the marketable and non-'..,1-otnliln class of ore. "Tr'ansporta- ion that is always high-priced on the rentier, labor that is paid a living Tiire for its toil, and smelter tolls that re made necessarily high by tho cost t fuel all exerted their effect on the atput of the mines, but no condition iJS so demoralizing a.s the 'iuimi-nlities 'iuimi-nlities of the gold bug. This, in-ueuce in-ueuce has bou . finally over-mie over-mie if not perpetually extinguished v the friends of the white metal in nngress, and silver mining throughout s horizon is enjoying a boom such as is not been witnessed in history, ires that were being thrown over the niiip as temporarily worthless a short iiue ago are now finding their way to he furnace in large volume. A few lonths since "pay ores" were limited i that which contained not less than ii ounces to the ton, while at this time, nder the wholesome tonic of an ad-ancc ad-ancc in silver, a number of prominent amps are handling that which average I'Sthati 20. A ton of 30-ounce ore nday is worth $7.50 more than it was t the market price in January last, a gure that pays for the transportation i two tons of ore on the average aul. As a result the mining camps of lie entire country have come forth with veritable redivivus and the year promts prom-ts larger returns to both labor and ipital than have ever been exper-need. exper-need. Lead has also enjoyed the onelit of an elixir that is found only in le protective policy of the nation, and ace beyond the reach of peon interstices, inter-stices, will travel forward on the ;ime pace the market has brought from s twin. The outlook is, indeed, ex-twlingly ex-twlingly encouraging. Mines at Eureka. The first of a series of excursions, nnceived by the Union Pacific, that le inhabitants of Salt Lake may be lade more familiar with the progress f mining in this territory was run to ureka yesterday and was accompanied y a large number of persons.
