A tendency to debase silver coinage by introduction ot more alloy Is talked of and in some cases noted, Canada has just taken steps in that direction by making the national silver coinage standard al 800 parts line silver lo 200 parts alloy. Instead of 925 parts fine silver lo T" parts alloy. New York advices states that November copper sales are estimated at 625,000,000 pounds, the biggest on record for any similar two months' period since summer of J918. December sales are estimated at .",00,000,000 pounds. 1 oo.000.000 pounds being exported. Copper authorities are much encouraged over the transactions of the last two months of the year, and state that if sales continue at same ratio through first quarter ��f 1020. the present ac cumulation will have, been disposed of. Brass makers are again in the market and there lias been an increase of buying on foreign account. Morton Frewen, one of Britain's greatest economists and an expert on silver, ami whn ten years ago was forecasting the silver situation as il exists today, is authority for the statement that the world's yearly demand for silver in the next eight years will he 620,060,000 ounces, with a mlxlmnm yearly estimated production of not over 175,000,000 ounces If Mr. I'rewen is right, .tint there appears good reason to believe that lie is. one wonders iusi where the silver required is in coin,, from, sin, e ihe greatest I years production ever recorded, that ol IW0, was 260,000,000 oun. . WATEK NOTH'i: Div.rnou ami Ua* T IKK Ni 'i i' 'i: that I H 1'OllPAN* IIMlTKli ��� Agitation for good roads is generally due to the plea that the agriculturist will be benefited. Sometimes that excuse is made by automobile "fans" as a reason for a good roads campaign in certain sections where said "fans" have designs on the speed limit. This is all very well. It is a most excellent thing to have the best of i roads In an agricultural area.. The horny-handed tiller of the soil gets his produce to market easier, and as a result may help consumers in the non-productive area, take a reef in the perennial H. C. L. The automobile owner gets an extended area in which to demonstrate his ability to consume gas and show tire mileage records. The automobile agent sells more cars, while the manufacturer has a greater output. The thintj is eminently satisfactory to all, except an occasional taxpayer who gets no direct benefit and who gazes suspiciously on a soaring assessment. So much for a region strictly agricultural In a mining area there appears to be no excuse for good highways except tonnage, and it has to be a good big tonnage in any remote-from-railway-transportation section before consideration or new or improved road construction is given by state or county officials. Of course, if the mining area lies in the direct path of transcontinental auto travel, the case is different. An example of this is found in the case of Yellowstone National Park highway through Shoshone county, Coeur d'Alene district. Being on a convenient transcontinental route, by reason of the pass across the Bitter Roots just east of Mullan, work now in hand and to be completed will in a very short time make it one of the model highways of the Pacific Northwest. As far, however, as opening up new mining territory is concerned, the value is nil. The valley through which the Yellowstone National Park highway winds is already adequately served by railways. While this is good and in accordance with all modern ideas of progress, one cannot help but feel .that additional good roads work in the more remote and less- known gulches of the Coeur d'Alenes would result in great benefit to the district and the state of Idaho by encouragement to new or long-retarded mining enterprises. The general tendency appears to be to allow prospectors and struggling mining development enterprices to shift largely for themselves in the serious problem of getting in supplies and material and getting ore out of a remote area. Poetically, we have been often reminded: "Many a gem of purest ray serene, the darkest caves of ocean bear," and descending from a high plane of expression to prosaic and commercial min- Tti2? jjar!a*-ce, we might add, within the limits of str+cl 'pi\--mety, that- many a side-tracked gulch embraces a Bunker Hill, an Interstate Callahan. or some other potential dividend producer, yet unknown, through lack of anything in the shape of even primary transportation requirements. ���Northwest Mining Truth.

A Maid and a Man A charming wom#n is one wno listens with a show ot interest to a man's talk about himself. A charming man is one who does the same tu a woman's talk about other women. Looking- back over old love affairs, a woman finds much to remember and little to regret; a man finds little to remember and much to regret. A man will try to marry tlie girl he loves. A girl will try to love the man she marries. Talking about marriage as a necessary evil: the man views it as an evil, and the woman as! necessary.
