tion in the silver market as 1t affects
the mine operators was the principal
topic of discussion at Thursdays
meeting of the Nevada Mine Opera
tors Association.
The association appointed John G.
Kirchen and Henry M. Rives as rep
resentatives of the mining interests
of Nevada to attend a conference to-
morrow in San Francisco. The con-
ference will seek method of adjust
ing prices of silver so that the miners
will receive settlement from smelters
on the basis of one dollar an ounce.
The smelter men will be represented
at the conference at which Ray T.
Baker, director of the mint, will pre-
side.
EXPECT ADJUSTMENT
The operators expressed the belief
to-day that satisfactory adjustment
would be made and that silver pro-
ducers will receive the Government
price without dividing with the smelt-
ers. 1t is contended the smelters are
not entitled to any portion of the diff
ference between the open market
price and that paid by the mint. The
Federal officials have taken the same
position and it is believed the smelt-

PLACER GOLD
 FOUND UNDER . LAYABLANKET

Prospectors arriving at Nome re- gently told of great valley of placer gold believed to be buried beneath huge age-old blanket of lava which stretches for miles along the right shore of the Immachuk river, in the Kotzebue country, north of Nome.
 Collaborating gravel has been found by miners who have attempted to tun- nel under the rim of the lava sheet Nearly every pan of dirt they took from under the edges contained gold in some quantity, they said.
 Belief that the lava-covered valley contains great wealth is strengthened by the fact that several gold deposits !. found on the Inmachuk river were le- cated near the mouths of streams which have cut their way through the lava during the hundreds of years be- lieved to have intervened since the volcanic outbursts.
 ~ Drills VIII not penetrate the lava the prospectors said. One sourdough miner, H. L. Stull, said he tried tc break the lava with a power drill last summer, but failed when he found his drill striking seams and cracks which prevented it from boring straight. Another prospector lost his equipment at depth of 102 feet.
 Blasting will be tried next summer to get through the lava to the floor of the valley. Stull believes there are millions of dollars worth of gold or the floor and will ship blasting outf to the Kotzebue early in the spring

 Fear that private operation of fish cries will wipe out the ocean salmon just as the Fraser river salmon runs were wiped out was expressed by the minister. The Fraser river, once the greatest salmon river in the world, MT. Sloan asserted, is practically fished out.
