Surprising Boom in Silver Yields Raises Prospects

Notes report a dramatic shift in expected silver output from 1,000,000 to about 6,000,000 for the year at Creede Camp. Mount Morgan Gold Mining Company showed 1,400 workers over four years, with total gold produced near 907,608 ounces and 983,390 tons treated. Dividends amounting to 2 pounds per share have totaled 2,750,000 dollars. Also noted are legal and corporate moves in Mexico and El Paso Northern Railroad plans, plus a commission to study mineral resources in Cariboo Navajo lands. A separate item says female tramps are increasingly seen in the Southwest, clinging to freight cars.
