I'rom present appearances ap-pearances if the war continues it will be only a matter of a short time until the law of supply and demand will reinstate silver in its former relationship to gold at a pardiy of lo to 1. With the white metal in such great demand and commanding command-ing so high a price it seems strange that the promised activi'y at Silver Reef is so long delayed. Certain it is that the old camp still holds millions mil-lions in the white metal for those who have the courage and determination determi-nation to go in and wrest it from its long resting place among the sandstone sand-stone reefs. v |
