Early Resumption of
 Road Work Planned

Work on the Salmon River highway improvement project, initiated late this fall by the Bureau of Public Roads, will be resumed as early as possible next spring by the Johnson Gardner Company of Portland, Ore, holder of the contract.
 The projected improvements cover a stretch of the higwway about PA miles in length ex- tending north from Eight Mile 70 short distance beyond Ten Mile and involve some 30,00C yards of excavation work, mostly in rock, in addition to gravelling and surfacing opef- ations which involve the hand ling of about 4,000 yards of :creened gravel.
 When completed, the road along the indicated section will be about 4 feet wider and from -wo to four feet higher than at present.
 Although weather ccntf:.l 'ns his fall have been far from good, the Johnscn-;, ardner Go. road crew under the direction of Curtis Gardner succeeded in completing 2,000 feet of the primary grading work before the recent adverse weather necessitated suspension of op- erations last last week.
 Before leaving for the south, MT. Gardner expressed the hope that operations can be re sumed during April next year

Porter-Idaho Shutdown
 Runners Are Denied

Reports circulated recently to the effect that the Premier Gold Mining Company would make no further shipments of ore from the Porter Idaho property this winter were de- nied by MT. Dale l.. Pitt, man. lger of the Premier company, before his departure for the south Saturday night.
 The Premier company has no Intention of abandoning the shipment of ore from the Por- .er Idaho and shipments from all three of the company's loc- al properties will be main tained on substantially the same ratio as heretofore, MT. Fit said.
 The erroneous report appar- lently arose through the recent failure of the company to dis patch ore from the Porter Ida ho on one of the boats engaged in carrying ore to the Tacoma emelter. This was due to the fact that the agreement now in effect between the Premier company and the smelter pro- vides for maximum ore ship ments of 5000 tons per month and as this amount was exceed ad by some 600 tons last month t was necessary to curtail later shipments somewhat to prevent another overplus this month.

Work on the new winze from the main level of the Woodbine was stopped last week by an influx of water that could not be handled with the means al present available and work has been transferred to the No. 7 level, according to reports from that property.
 The winze was down about 35 feet when the water came in at such a rate as to all but fill the winze. The incident i, doubly regrettable in that the winze was apparently just en- tering the gold bearing ore zone which formed its object i've.

SAYS LOAN WILL
 BE RECOMMENDED

That an international silver loan to China will probably be recommended to the Senate foreign relations committed by the Senate sub committed which has been Investigating the economic situation ol China, was made known a few days ago by Senator Key Pitt man. of Nevada, chairman oi the sub committee and the foremost champion of silver in Congress.
 Pullman said if the idea ma tured the international pool would probably include the United States, Great Britain France, Japan, Mexico, anc possibly other countries; ad ding that witnesses before hi committee had agreed that an international pool was prefer able to a loan by a single gov ernment.
 The recent arrival of a rep resentative of the Chinese gov ernment who will request the United States to loan China { billion ounces of silver, may. however, alter or modify C>n siderably the intentions of the sub committe as indicated by the Nevada senator. The com mittee, in proposing an inter national pool was probably in fluenced to some extent by g disinclination to create foreil.r antagonisms, as would mos certainly follow an offer or the part of the United States to make such a loan without re gard to other nations.
 A direct request from Chine to the United States for a silver loan creates an entirely differ ent situation and probably would permit this country tc comply without offense to oth CT nations.

The maximum power has been granted the station by the federal government and con- struction of an enlarged plant has been started, according to the Northwest Radio Bulletin.
 No broadcasting station on the Pacific Coast at prese' has more than 10000 watt power. It is said that severa, stations have applied for tle maximum of 50,000 watts but XIX is the only one that has been granted permission to op- crate at such capacity.

Explains Cause of
 Low Price of Zinc.

The regularity with which
 stocks of zinc in the hands of producers have increased in each succeeding month of 19- 30 is said by the Mining and Engineering Journal to be the chief source of the weakness in the price of zine. Even had the consumption not been af- fected by the business depress- ion, the entrance of several new zinc producers into the field would have made diff cult situation for the estab- lished mines, the journal points out. In a previous article it was pointed out that if con- sumption increased at the nor nal rate, about six years would be required to absorb the out

W|CKERSHAM VICTOR
 IN DELEGATE CONTEST

Although complete returns are not yet in, Judge James Wickersham, republican can didate for Alaska delegate to Congress, is conceded the vic. tory over his democratic op- ponent, George B. Grigsby in the recent Territorial election, according to the latest reports. At last accounts Judge Wicker sham was more than 200 votes ahead of his democratic rival, with only a few small, outlying precincts, all of which are known to be favorable to the republican candidate, still to be heard from. The contest was exceedingly close, howev- CT, and Judge Wickersham' s majority will probably not ex- ceed 400 votes at the outside
 Walstein G. Smith, for Terri torial treasurer, and Cash Cole for auditor, have been elected by large majorities over Rich ard E. Hardcastle and Thomas Gaffney, democrats, while William E. Hesse, democrat, won an easy victory over Jos. Ullmer, republican, for the off, ice of Highway Engineer. In the race for Territorial School Commissioner, W. K. Keller, republican, appears to have won by a small margin from Anthony J. Karnes, democrat.
 The First Division legisiat- i've contest resulted in the elect ion of three democrats, Shat tuck for senator and Boyle and Zeigler for the House. Witm and Johnson, republicans, ale also considered assured of election to the House.
 Results in the other territor- ial divisions will probably te as follows:
 Second Division Senate A. Lomen, Rep. House: Nylen and Smith, Ind, Hellerich and Burgh, Rep.
 Third Division Senate, Brag- aw, Rep. House, Brosius, Eos ter, Murray, Rep, McCutch- con, Dem.
 Fourth Division-- Senate: Dunn, Ind. House: H. Don nelly and Andrew Nerland, Rep, Joe Mcdonald, Dem.
 The fourth legislative mem- Der is still in doubt, with Fred. Johnson and Dick Rothenburg, Rep, and Sheldon, Ind, run ming very close.

No Word of Lost Planes

Although the search for the lost Washington-Alaska Air ways seaplane piloted by Capt. Robin ("Pat.") Renahan is continuing along the coast in the vicinity of Prince Rup- ert, it has so far been entirely unsuccessful, according to the latest reports from Rupert and Ketchikan.
 The hunt for the missing pill ot and his companions, mech anic Frank Hatcher and Sam. Clerf, prospector, is being maintained under the most diff ficult and hazardous condit- ions, as, due to the lateness of the season, fog, snow and cold combine to hinder and delay the efforts of the two Canadian and one American plane en- gagged in searching the numer- ous ragged indentations of the coastline north of the Mass riv- CT. How uncertain flying con- ditions are is disclosed by re- ports that the two Canadian planes were also reported lost during the week, owing to their being fog bound and un- able to return to their base at Prince Rupert for a time. Pilot Anscel Eckmann of the Amer ican plane is was also reported by radio to have been forced down at Rupert by fog and snow. Fortunately he landed without damage Press reports during the week announced that the Navy department had detailed two naval planes to assist in the search for Rena- han, who has now been missing over three weeks.
 Nine planes are now engaged in the search for Renahan and Capt Burke, lost Canadian pill ot, who with two companions has been missing for more than a month in the Atlin region.

Former Local Minister

 Rev. Frank E. Reddick, past or of the Hyder M. E. Church back in 1921-23, is now an in- mate of the Ohio State Peniten- tiary and serving a sentence of from one to five years on a charge of blackmail, according to a letter from the prison au- thorities received recently by Deputy U. s. Marshal Donald E. Martin of Hyder. The letter requested information for the penitentiary records regarding Dr. Reddick's antecedents and possible criminal record. The communication displays two excellent photographic like nesses of the former. local min ister but gives no details of his alleged crime.
 Dr. Reddick is said by local friends to have abandoned the ministry a year or two ago. He is also said to have indicated a desire to return to Hyder and made inquiries regarding the prospects for securing employ .ment here.

IMPROVED LOCAL A|RPLANE SERVICE
 NEXT SUNNI ER

Increased air travel facilities for Hyder and Stewart will be provided next summer by the Washington-Alaska Airways, it was announced by Anscel Eckman, chief pilot of the big Washington and Alaska air transportation company, dur ing his visit to the district last week in connection with the search for Pilot Pat Rena han.
 MT. Eckman said his comp any is desirous of giving this section the best air service pos sible to maintain under present traffic conditions and to attain that object has definitely de- cided to station one of its planes at Prince Rupert next summer. This plane will be used exclusively between that port and Hyder, Stewart and Ketchikan, Mir. Eckmann said, As the plane can reach any point on the triangular route within an hour or to, the comp any will be in a position to handle traffic to or from any point without undue delay and with almost as much facility as would be the case if a plane was stationed at each point on the route.
 In this manner the company hopes to provide the Hyder and Stewart district with safe speedy and dependable service that will meet all local de- mands.
 Although the matter was net mentioned by MT. Eckmann, it is a we'll understood fact that the absence of a local airport and plane landing facilities, such as are now available at Ketchikan, Wrangell, Sitka, and practically every other inn portant center on the coast, is detrimental to the mainte- nance of local air service. In the absence of proper shelter planes cannot land here except during the most favorable weather and even under the best conditions the absence of safe landing facilities is dis tinctly inimical to the comfort as well as the safety of ait passengers.
 This difficulty probably could be remedied if the resi- dents of Hyder woul take the matter up with the Territorial legislature and agree to coop. crate in providing adequate facilities for landing and dis. charging passengers. The Ter ritory has supplied funds fol virtually all the airports on the coast and will do so here if the matter is properly presented and local support assured.

PC.P,CO. POWER LINE SURVEYS
 ARE CONCLUDED

Work on the preliminary power transmission line sur veys of the Portland Canal Power Company in the Salmon and Bear River sections were concluded this week with the completion of line survey to Stewart and south along the east shore of Portland Canal to the vicinity of Silverado Gulch on the west slope of Mt. Rain ey. Owing to the lateness of the season and unfavorable weather conditions, the surveys in the Stewart district were not fully completed. The original plans of the company contem- plated extension of the Bear River survey to the vicinity of the George Copper property near the head of Bear River and also down the east shore of Portland Canal as far as the mouth of Marmot River.
 The surveys, designed to map out the various routes to be followed by the power trans mission lines, included one from the site of the company's big 10000 horse power hydro electric power plant at the mouth of Davis River on Port land Canal to Hyder, 12 miles north, thence up the Salmon River valley to the vicinity of the Big Missouri mine, approx imately r miles north of Fly der and about 4 miles beyond the Alaska-British Columbia boundary line. This route GOV CTS practically every mining property along the Salmon watershed between the Big Missouri and Hyder. A survey was also made for a second power distribution line from the Salmon River valley near Nine-Mile to the head of the west fork of Texas Creek, distance of 12 miles. The third route surveyed runs along the montainside north from Hyder and paralleling the Hyder- Stewart road to Stewart, and thence south along the farther side of Portland Canal to Sil- verado Gulch, a total distance of about four miles. At Silver ado Gulch the survey connects with the route of the Premier Gold Mining Company's power line from Marmot River to the Silverado mine at the head of Silverado Gulch. It is under stood that the field notes cover ing the latter route can be ob- ! tained from the Premier comp any, hence there was no par ticular need for continuing the Portland Canal company sur
 vey to Marmot River at this
 time.
 The total distance covered by
 the several surveys approxi.
