Heavy Rains Cause
 Near Flood Conditions

Extraordinary heavy rainfall Thursday and Friday resulted in near-flood conditions in Fly der and along the Salmon Riv- CT highway at Nine Mile. The maximum high water stage was reached Friday night, at which time the river was threatening to overleap it's banks on the west border of the camp and water was running through the dry-wash near the Hyder Machine Shop. The Salmon River highway near Nine-Mile was also reported inundated at the same time.
 A dangerous flood appeared imminent and probably would have developed but for the drainage channel provided by the Territorial government two years ago. This performed it's function in excellent manner by taking care of a large port ion of the torrent of water rushing down Salmon River. The danger passed, however, and no material damage was reported.

Premier Takes Over
 The Planet Mines

Negotiations which have been proceeding for some time for the sale of the Planet Mines at Stump Lake, Nicola, to the Premier Gold Mining Co.,, will probably be concluded at a meeting of Planet Mines and Reduction Co. on October 8 in Vancouver, according to West ern Canada Mining News.
 According to that journal, Premier obtained an option on the Planet from MT. Peter Ban croft, president of the Planet company, on September 15. The deal also included an ad- joining property known as the Donohoe, owned by Mir. Ban- croft. Under the terms of the 30-day option, Premier is to pay the Planet people $100,- 900 and undertake new devel- opment. A new company is to be formed in which the Pre- mier is to receive 2,6000,000 of 5000, ,000- shares of the cap ital stock.
 The Planet is a free milling gold property and has operat- ed profitably for some time, employing a concentrator. The company started shipping con- centrates to Trail in December 1929. Up to July 1 this year gross smelter returns were $80,728, made up of gold, $45,- 173.62; silver, $20,989.46; i; lead, $11,25O.60; copper, $3,- 314.51.

E. C. Silver Mill Talk Revived
 By Water Application

A water diversion notice pub lished by the B. c. Silver Mines, Ltd, in the Stewart News has revived recent rumors that the company is contemplating ear- Fly construction of a concentrat- ing plant on it's property north of the Premier.
 The notice referred to an nounces the intention of the company to apply for license to take and use 300 gallons of water per minute out of Camp Creek, a tributary of Cascade Creek. The water is to be used for mining purposes upon the Oakville No. 2 Fraction, on the extreme western border of the B. c. Silver property
 It is the general view in we'll informed mining circles that mill construction by the Seluk,. we company will not be long delayed. Late reports from London also indicate that mill construction is under discuss ion in Selukwe circles but whether for the immediate fut- ure or not is uncertain.
 So far as can be learned the long continued negotiations with Premier have come to q complete standstill. The latter concern has offered to take over the B. c. Silver but wide divergence in the estimates of the B. c. Silver and Premier engineers regarding the value of the developed ore bodies ap- pears to have prevented a deal. Premier has also offered to mill B. C. Silver ore on tom mage basis, and also has of fered to sell to Selukwe it's 38 per cent interest in B. c. Sil- yer, neither offer being accept ed. This also suggests that Sel- ukwe has decided to hoe it's own row in future develop ment.

Salmon River Highway
 Improvement Work Starts

Work on the Salmon River highway improvement project started this week under the personal direction of MT. Cur tis Gardner, of Johnson and Gardner, Portland, Ore, road builders, to whom was award ed the local contract by the Bu- reau of Public Roads. Mr. Gardner arrived here last Sat urday night and started camp construction work near Nine, Mile on Monday.
 The project involves widen ing, strengthening and raising the present roadway from Eight Mile to Eleven-Mile tc the same standard of width and grade as the remainder of the fine government built highway extending from Fly der to the international bound ary at Thirteen-Mile.
 The Johnson and Gardner equipment used in constructing the second section of the Tex as Creek highway is still here and will be employed on the company's new contract. Ac. tivites will be started as soon as the camp construction i, completed and is expected to continue five or six weeks; o, longer, if weather conditions permit.

SENATOR KING URGES
 WORLD SILVER RATIO

North American exports to the Orient would attain a val ue of several billion Gollars yearly through an internation- al agreement to rehabilitate the silver market by fixing an international ratio of 15 or 16 to one, according to Senator King of Utah.
 Senator King, as reported in Ia Washington press dispatch, said: " There is no reason, after internal affairs in China are settled, why our trade with the Chinese should not reach several billion dollars yearly"
 Discussing a proposal hereto fore advanced that several of the world powers advance China a loan of 500,000,000 ounces of silver in an effort to build up China's credit and at the same time afford a new outlet for the world oversupply of silver, Senator King said that "of course, anything that would tend to rehabilitate sil- yer would increase the purch- asing power of the Orient" but that he believed it would be much better to make it world affair rather than to segrtgate it among few of the more powerful nations.
 "I would prefer an internat- ional agreement" he said, "but undoubtedly, if, for example, the United States, Great Brit ain and France should try such a plan, it would do much in the restoration of China's ere lit, and afford an increased mark ct in the East"

Important Local Mining
 Contest is Decided

A case of somewhat unusual interest to the mining commun, ity was was decided recently by the Supreme Court at Vic toria. The action involved title to the Lucky Jim property in the American Creek section of the Bear River district through the filing of an adverse claim by Angus Mcleod and other locators of the American Creek group of claims west of Amer ican Creek against the Lucky Jim owners, Messrs E. P. Tolin J. J. Haahti, H. D. Cameron and Wm. Bosence.
 The plaintiffs claimed that owing to the season of the year, February, 1928, no bona fide location could have been made, it being contended that it was impossible to reach the ground during the winter.
 The court decided that the property had been properly staked in accordance with the Mining Act and dismissed the action with costs.

r NAL DAVIS RIVER
 POWER SURVEY SHOWS
 FAR GREATER POWER

The power development poss- Utilities of the Portland Canal Power Company's Davis River project are far greater than in- dicated by the preliminary sur veys and more than double the amount of hydro-electric horse power originally estimated can be produced, according to MT. Willis T. Batcheller, president of the company.
 In statement to the Herald this week, MT. Batcheller said that this interesting and grati- flying fact has been decisively revealed in figures obtained in the final survey of the project now in progress on Davis Riv- CT under the direction of MT. Edwin R. Wright, who is being assisted by nearly a score of engineers and technicians.
 Among the several import ant revelations resulting from the present survey is that the preliminary estimates of the flow of water in Davis River have been found to have been very conservative. Not only is the flow twice the amount originally figured, but it has also been found that the water storage possibilities are far in excess of the original esti- mates. Still further augmenting the power development possi- bilities of the project,th sur vey has determined that the amount of fall between the dam site and tidewater, where the power house will be locat- ed, a distance of about 1200 feet, is 160 feet, instead of the 11O feet indicated by the earli- CT estimates.
 Relative to the increased storage findings, MT. Batchell CT explained that it has been found that the valley basin in which the water will be inn impounded possesses much greater area than general in- spection would indicate, owing to peculiarities of contour.
 According to the present sur vey the reservoir space will be six miles long instead of three miles, as originally estimated. This means an increase of ap- proximately five times the es- timated number of acre feet of storage and provides certain assurance of an ample water supply under all conditions.
 Another discovery of great importance with respect to future power increases is that the survey has disclosed that the walls of the box canyon in which the dam will be con- structed are nearly vertical to a great height, which will en- able the company to raise the dam to much greater height than previously estimated.

REPEAL IF PLACER
 LAW IS URGED )

Repeal of the existing placer
 mining law in Alaska and the
 extension of the general placer
 laws of the United States to the 1 Territory is the object of a
 movement launched recently in Fairbanks by the Fairbanks News-Miner.
 In explanation of it's position the Fairbanks journal raises the contention that the present
 law is detrimental to develop ment of Alaska's placer resour- ces through limiting the size and number of claims that may be located by an individual, that it requires relatively far greater expenditure for annual assessment wark on large hold ings or association claims than is required by the federal law in effect outside of Alaska, and that such Limitations and costs tend to hinder and restrict both prospector and miner in devel- oping the placer areas.
 Until August 1, 1912, the act of Congress of May 10, 1872, the federal placer law, was in force in the Territory as we'll throughout the United States. posits of public landsnte. .aseF
 Under this law citizens of the United States and those who have declared intention to be- come such may acquire in one location20 acres of placer land, an association of two or more persons, up to a total of eight, may acquire in one location 20 acres for each member of the association. Thus an associa- tion of two persons may locate 40 acres, three persons 60 acres and so on up to the limit of eight persons, who may ac- quire 160 acres in a single joint location. The law also requires no more than $100 worth of an- nual labor yearly upon each To- cation, whether the same en- braces 20 acres or 160 acres, and the number of locations that may be made by individu- als or associations is unlimited.
 It is obvious that under this law large tracts could be taken up by a relatively few individ- uals and could be held with comparatively slight cost for annual assessment work; only S100 worth of work being re- quired on a location regardless of the number of acres con- tained.
 The law now in effect inAlas- ka, enacted in 1912, does not permit an individual to locate more than two claims for him. self and two for others under power of attorney in any one month in any one precinct in the Territory. It also limits the size of association placer locations to 40 acres and re- quires the performance of $10O worth of annual labor on each 20 acres or fraction thereof in- cluded in either individual or association locations.
 Thus the effect of this enact ment is to prevent immediate acquisition by a few mdividu- als of large tracts of placer ground, and also necessitates the performance of a far great CT amount of assessment work annually in order to hold To- cations. The present law

 i've development in a section of the Premier group some dist
 ance south of the main work
 ings and in which consider able diamond drilling is said to have been done during the past season. The area indicated in-
 dicated includes the Cascade Falls No. 8, Pictou and Essing-
 son claims, which form a por- ton of the southern border of the group. The projected de- yelopment is said to include the driving of a 700-foot raise, presumably from the long southerly drift known as 407 drift, which extends into the Pictou and Cascade 8 claims.
 It is reliably reported that a group of prominent Tacoma people have become interested in the Hercules property, north of and adjoining the Big Miss ouri, and are planning to un- dertake its development. MT. Gallagher, mining engineer, who visited the district recent ly, is said to have examined the property on behalf of the Tacoma people during his stay.
 The Hercules comprises five crown granted claims and be- longs to Hercules Mines, Ltd. The company is capitalized for $1,000,000, divided into an equal number of shares of S1 par value. Development work in earlier years included 150 feet of tunnel and extensive surface work. Values are in gold, silver, lead, zinc and cop per and are said to average around $34 in all metals. As high as $33.60 in gold across 3 feet is said to have been ob- tained. One vein averaging about 10 feet in width has been traced by open cuts for 400 feet.

MAN TAKEN FOR RIDE
NEAR GRANITE FALLS

Gangland has invaded southwest
ern Minnesota with victim being
taken for a ride but with less disas-
trous results than the orthodox ride.
Harry Kempfest, laborer living
near Granite Falls, was lured into a
car by supposed liquor partisans and
then severely beaten and left lying
in nearby field. Clifford Bremen,
Granite Falls, and Martin Toole,
Leenthrop township, were arrested
for the assault and bound over to dis
trict court, their bail being fixed at
$500 each.
The actions of Toole and Bremen,
it is asserted, came as the result of
recent arrests of liquor violators and
the suspicion of Kempfest as a stool
pigeon, a suspicion that was later
proved unfounded. The pair invited
Kempfest to ride and the sharing
of couple bottles of beer and then
drove him out into the country where
he was beaten and warned to keep
quite about the affair.
Sheriff Petersen was notified of
the affair and made the arrests.
Kempfest was severely beaten about
