SAY SIL YER MAY
 ADVANCE ID 40 CTS,

Recent undercover develop ments in connection with the silver situation have led authorities to anticipate a fur ther recovery in silver prices, according to New York reports based on Wall Street rumors.
 The reports indicate the pos ibility that efforts will be made to advance the price of silver to 40 cents within the present month, which would bring the white metal to the approximate level at which producers may operate with a small profit.
 It Is pointed out that such an increase would enhance the purchasing power of countries where silver is the basic cur rency-a factor of utmost inn portance in world economies.

J,hn icvland is
 Painfully Injured

John Hovland, pioneer min ing man and managing direct or of the Unicorn Mines, Ltd. sustained a painful injury Thursday by being struck in the eye by a steel rod and is now in Premier hospital under the care of Dr. J. II. Robinson.
 MT. 1Iovland was using the steel rod to ccrape some snow from under the ceiling of the Unicorn blacksmith shop, when he lost his balance and fell backward to the floor. In falling he lost his hold on the rod, which descended point first, the end, which providen- tially had been slightly turned, striking him on the eyelid, al- most tearing it to pieces. The accident was witnessed by Arthur Moa, who says the rod fell several feet and but for the rounded end would prob ably have gone through the eyeball,
 Examination at the hospital indicated that in spite of se- were laceration of the eye lid, the eye ball had sustained no serious injury and Mir. Hov- lands sight will probably not be impaired. Whether the eye lid can be saved i3 still some- what doubtful, as it isalmost torn to pieces, but Dr. Robin son is hopeful that it can be sewed together when the se- were swelling subsidies. Mir Hovland will be confined to the hospital for some days.
 MT. Hovland is one of the camps most highly regarded citizens and the news of his misfortune was received with universal regret.

RICH FIND ON BIG
 MISSOURI REPORTED

Discovery of a high grade gold vein ranging around four feet in width on the Big Mis- souri property of the Buena Vista Mining Company during the past week is currently re- ported in Hyder and Stewart.
 As it is the policy of the Con- solidated Mining and Smelt- ing Co.,, controller of the prop elty, to refrain from giving out information concerning de velopment results, no official confirmation of the reports is obtainable; but sufficient in formation regarding the dis covery has leaked out as to leave no doubt that strike of unusual magnitude and rich ness has been made.
 The big gold vein appears 10 have been cut in one of the northerly drifts off main tun- nel in the Buena Vista claim. It is understood that the vein runs in a northWesterly di- rection and is a part of the large silicified porphyry zone which extends practically the whole length of the Big Mis- souri property. The ore is un- derstood to be of the same free milling type characteristic of the rich but narrow gold vein previously found on the prop erty and is heavily impregnat- ed with stringers and blebs of of the yellow metal over the full width of the vein.
 Although it has been defin itely known that some very rich ore has been passing through the mill during recent weeks, indications point to thc new ore body being by far t!.e richest and most important SC far discovered in the mine CT district. High gold values arc known to be carried in numer- ous narrow quartz stringers scattered in belts of varying width through the silicified zone, which is said on reliable authority to range up to 300 feet wide in places. It appears. however, that the new vein is the first extensive and compact ore body so far revealed in the company's long extended q l. velopment activities.

FRANKLIN, Ind. April IT.
Indications that some one in the
vicinity Of the Lee Brown home in
Brown county, is suppressing evi-
dence IN the investigation Of two
deaths there last December, was
claimed today by investigators.
Several burned keys, carried by
Paul Brown, have been found in
a tool box on the running board
of an auto belonging to him,
authorities said They added that
the Keys were not there three
weeks ago.
Paul Brown is sought on charge
Of numbering his parents. Two
bodies we're found in the ashes Of
the home last Dec. IS, after Chester
Bunge, working for the Browns, re-
ported that Paul Brown had shot
both his parents and Bunge, and
ignited the home.
Dispute has arisen as to whether
one Of the bodies is that Of Mrs.
Brown or Paul Brown, neither Of
whom has been seen since the trag-
edy. Bunge has recovered from his
bullet wounds.
Revelation of the new evidence
was made by Howard P. Robinson
prosecutor Of Johnson and Brown
counties; Fremont Weddle, Brown
county sheriff. and Charles Bridges
deputy state fire marshal.
It Is the third time that keys, all
apparently in or near the home
while it was burning, have turned
up to puzzle Investigators.
Authorities consider the indica-
tons that some one is endeavoring
to suppress or confuse the evil
dence, a hopeful sign for solution
Of the battling case.
