SEEFERT IS OPTIMISTIC

Gus Seiffert writing from Seattle expresses himself as very optimistic over the future of Hyder. Mir. Seiffert recently put through a deal which, he is certain will net large returns. Speaking of the possibilities MT. Self fert says:
 "I do not believe that the world in its mining history, has ever known such immense bodies of ore carrying such large values as already have been exposed in the Hyder or Port land canal district. And you must re- member that there are great stretch es of mountains that have never been explored or prospected, and it IS doubtful if any white men have been over parts of the country.
 "There absolutely is no question about the future of that camp. Enough pay ore already is in sight to guarantee that fact"

Governor Allen:

you raise and has requested the Federal
Trade Commission and the Department
of Agriculture to look into the matter at
the earliest possible moment with a view
to determining what action, II any, can
properly be taken.
in the meantime he will appreciate
1t II you will be good enough to forward
to the Federal Trade Commission any
information which. in your opinion, tends
to indicate a decline in wheat prices was
due to the unfair practices or competi-
ton, or to other artificial practices"
