S3 Representatives of several big silver mining and refining works of the United States and Mexico will meet in New York during this week, to form, if possible, a combination selling agency, to control the price of silver futures. The price of silver for future delivery is always less than the price of cash silver, and the smelters want to equalize prices. It is said that the smelters hope, by their combination, to stiffen the price of silver, and eventually reduce the output, although they deny the report that they intend to try to form a silver BUILDING.

This is one of the richest discoveries made in this section of Nevada. A Denver expert is Considerable interest is being taken Soda Springs over the recent unearthing of choice mineral. A gold ledge of twenty miles in length is said to have been discovered and is being taken up rapidly. Assays made from the rock are said to run as high aa $40, (XX) to the ton. A force of men ia employed in the development of the Grunter group of mines near Slioup, Ida., in which the Waterman brothers of Salt Lake City are interested. It is reported that this is the making of a splendid gold producer, and it is more than likely that within a year it will he equipped with a mill. at Henry Rrntnober, the mining expert who recently made a trip to Dawson City in the interest of the I,ondon Exploration company purchased a number of claims for his employers, the aggregate price paid being $2,300,000. Mr. Bratnobers operations is thought to be additional evidence of the value of Klondike's gold fields.

The richest gold mine in the world, according to the New York Tribune, is located under the thriving town of Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. The town has alwut 35,000 inhabitants, nearly all of whom are employed in the mine. There are more than 100 miles of tunnels under the city, some of them being at a depth of 2,000 feet. The entrance to the mine, which is controlled by a corporation and 'is known as the Band, Barton and Albion Councils, is outside the city. The department of mining and geol-og- y of the Wyoming State university has just given out ten remarkable assays of surface gold ores from the Grand Encampment mining district in southern Wyoming. These assays were of ore from widely different parts of the district, no two samples being from any one prospector or miner. The phenomenal average of $461.83 resulted from them. The best ore ran $1,516.35 per ton, the lowest grade being $13.66. These assays were made In the university and conducted by IVofossor Wilbur C. Knight of the chair of mining and geology.
