Chamber of Commerce
 Holds Enjoyable Dance

Close to 100 people from both sides of the information al boundary line attended the Thanksgiving Eve dance giv- en by the Hyder of Chamber of Commerce in Pioneer Hall Wednesday night.
 The dance was a financial as we'll as a social success and netted somewhere in the neighborhood of $35, which will be used by the Chamber in furthering it's highly creditable activities looking to the pro- gress of the town and district.
 A tasty cafeteria luncheon was served and the music pro- vided by the Electrola phono- graph installed for the occas- sion was all that could be de- sired, according to attendants. Both in the matter of tone and volume, the big simplifying machine was able to fill the hall in most satisfactiry man. ner.
 The committee in charge, consisting of Oren F. Hill, R. c. Young and E. D. Haddon are entitled to unstinted praise for their efforts and the suc- cess achieved. The committee desires that we extend their thanks to all who assisted in the success of the entertain ment by services or attend ance..
 It is the intention to hold another dance in the near fu- tue, which it is hoped can be made even more enjoyable as 3 result of the experience gain ed in this first entertainment held under the Chamber auspices.

Big Copper Strike in Nizini

A copper strike made re- gently by Martin Radovan on Glacier Creek in the Nizini country is declared to be the biggest strike of copper glance made in the north since the discovery of the famous Ken necott mine. The lead shows eight feet of solid copper glance, running better than 60 per cent copper and showing all signs of permanence.
 With betterment in business conditions and a rise in copper prices, it is virtually certain that the Copper River Railroad will be extended some 30 miles to take out ore from the new mine. This will involve the ex- penditure of several million dollars in that locality and will result in new activity in Copper River valley.

ASK LOOSEN|NG OF
 CAME REGULATIONS

At the recent meeting at Fairbanks of the Alaska Game Commission a lengthy petition was presented from nearly all the residents of the Tanana section asking, in view of the existing depression and hard times in the interior of Alaska and particularly among the Natives, that the season be opened on martin and beaver and not the catch of trappers to any specified number, and to allow trappers to shoot beaver with rifle.
 The Commission opened the season on both beaver and martin and each trapper is allowed to trap 15 beaver and 10 martin. But now complaint has been made to Delegate Wickersham that the trapping of beaver thru the ice is inn possible during the months of January, February and March, altho the Natives know how to trap on land and are good shots with rifle. The petition CTS claim that the Commission makes such regulations that hardly any one can follow without breaking. The manner of sealing game is also object ed to and the request is made that the Biological Survey have seals issued direct to the trappers as we'll as to the Game Wardens. The matter is being taken up with the prop , CT officials.

ALASKA HIGHWAY ID
 COST IA MILLIONS

The proposed Pacific high. way to Alaska will cost ap. proximately $14,300,000, Ern. est Walker Sawyer, member of the International Highway Commission, announced orally at the Department of the In terior Nov. 6.
 MT. Sawyer said the annual charge, including interest and maintenance, should not ex- ceed $1,804,000.
 The following additional in formation on the latest devel- opments of the project was supplied by MT. Sawyer:
 Experts have been busy es- timating the cost of construct ing the 2,225 mile road.
 The proposed road is divided into the following links; From Blaine to Hazelton, 815 miles, already completed; from Haz- elton to the Yukon boundary, 610 miles through virgin country; across Yukon to Alas ka boundary, 530 miles; and from the Alaskan boundary to McCarty, 1SO miles. From Me- Carty to Fairbanks the dist ance is 90 miles.
 It is believed that the Yukon section needs complete regrad- ing for its total of 530 miles at an average cost of S7,500 per mile, or S3,975,000, plus $600,000 for the bridges in that section.
 The Alaska section is estimat- ed at $10,000 per mile, or a total of $1,SOO,OO0. The sec ton from Hazelton to the Yu- kon border is estimated at S13,000 per mile, including bridges; this totals $7,930,000 for British Columbia. The road from the United States as far. as Hazelton, 815 miles, is now completed and in continuous use for 12 months of the year.
 The entire expenditure nec- essary, therefore, to construct a we'll graveled highway to the heart of Alaska is $14,- 305, ,000.

ASK ENGLAND ID
 CALL CONFERENCE

[ The Federation of British l Industries and the Empire Ec- onomic Union want the British government to set up an em- pire central bank and an em- pire currency in which silver would be utilized as part of the reserve.
 These points were included in an all-empire policy set forth in a resolution adopted recently by a joint commission of the organizations, according to cable reports from London. The resolution urged the gov ernment to summon an inter- national conference on silver with out delay and rec commended the restoration of silver to "its former place in the monetary system of the world"
 The two organizations do not contemplate restoration of sil- yer as a standard of exchange, nor do they call for establish ment of a permanent system of bimetallism. Their resolut- ion recommends that measures be taken to increase the pur- chasing power of such consum- CTS as India and China by authorizing central banks to keep portion of their metal lie reserves in silver.
 The British empire" the committee found, "is not in the political sense a unitary state. The is no central author ity, as in the French empire, which could impose single currency system. Any mone- tary unity must be arrived a: by free cooperation.
 "There would seem to be no constitutional or practical diff ficulty in the central banking authorities of the empire agreeing to constitute a cen tral empire bank which would act as a clearing house for all"
 The committee suggests that an empire conference be sum- moned to go into the currency problem.

Fur Exports Valued
 Over 2 Million; 1880

Skins of fur-bearing land animals to the number of 94,547 and valued at $2,- 128, JAS, were exported from Alaska in 1880, a report from the Alaska Game Commission 10 the Biological Survey, U. s. Department of Agriculture, shows. This is $2,385,715 less than the value of the 1929 shipments, although 197,245 more pelts were exported. The smaller return for 1880 re- suited from a general decline in the market value of individ.. ual furs.
 The report is based on the statements that fur shippers are required to file with agents for transportation companies or with postmasters handling the shipments, who in turn must forward them to the Alaska Game Commission.

Big Tonnage on
 Bunting Holdings

William Bunting, former To- cal mining man, returned re- turned recently to Vancouver after spending the summer on his Gold Chord gold property near Haines, Alaska, and is re- ported as being optimistic that the big free milling group will develop into a large proposit- ion, once the necessary cap ital takes hold of it.
 Considerable work was done on the main vein, four feet wide, which was stripped for 2400 feet, and a 100- foot shaft sunk, the width of the vein and the values maintain ing all through. It is estimated that about 600,000 tons of probable ore has been proven.
 MT. Bunting found three more veins, fairly high grade. The property, located in Brit ish Columbia territory, is reached via Haines over a road 42 miles long, thence by about six miles of trail.

SEES NEED OF SILVER
 FOR WORLDS TRADE

Prospect of an international silver agreement among major silver producers of the world looms as a result of recom- mendations of the Internation- al Chamber of Commerce.
 Meanwhile Solomon R. Gug- genheim, metal magnate, has issued a statement saying re- turn of silver to its pre-war use "seems to be essential for restoration of world trade" ac- cording to press reports.
 Informal conferences toward the international silver agree ment already have begun. Rep resentatives of the most i'm portant silver interests in the United States and Europe are expected to be invited soon to meet here or in London to study the committees stabil- ization program.
 The experts report express ed the opinion an internation- al conference was not to be eX- pected soon, but it's recom- mendations were said to have prompted steps for a meeting to give effect to the practical features of the plan. An eff fort will be made to obtain CO., operation of various govern ments, especially the United States, Great Britain, China and India.
 In his statement the metal magnate, member of the firm of Guggenheim Brothers, warned against the possibility that silver speculation may go too far too soon," but ad- vanced the belief that Eff the world returns to the same use of silver that it had before the war it would seem quite cer- tain that the price automatical- ly would be somewhere around the prewar level and perhaps slightly above it.
 Such a rise," he said, would almost double the value of silver hoards of India and of the money now in China. It would tend rapidly to restore the rate of those countries to the prewar levels when silver was at the price 1 have stated Gan average of 553l cents be- tween 1909 and 1913)."

Mount Vernon and the Capitol.

Representative Treadway Of MaSsa-
chusetts has objected to the Govern
ment's construction of a $4,000, 900
highway lin honor of George Washing
ton which leads to a turnstile at pri-
vately owned property where admission
charges will be made" and has served
notice that in the next Congress he will
press for the passage of the bill which
provides for Government purchase and
operation Of Mount Vernon.
OF course, this and similar proposals
have been made before It contains an
emotional appeal that is not to be dis
counted, although it gives little consid-
Grafton to the fact that Mount Yer
mons perpetuation as the shrine that 1t
has become is due entirely to the pa
triotic and unselhsh work of the women
whose foresight, good taste and excel
lent management are above criticism.
Whether the Government should own
Mount Vernon now is a question that
can be decided only after due balancing
of the merits of private as against
Government ownership and operation.
But the charge of nominal fee at
Mount Vernon cannot be discussed
without calling attention to the practice
at the United States Capitol, where the
guides, public servants in public build
ing, expect and receive fee for their
services. The fee consists of a tip, paid
