Alaska Fur Exports
 Show Big Decrease

A decline of $2,385,715 in the value of Alaska fur exports in 1880, is disclosed in a recent announcement of the United States department of agricult- ure.
 The total value of furs ex- ported during the year was placed by the department at $2,128,148. The number of fur land animal pelts taken was 494,547. This was 197,245 more than were taken in 1929.
 The decline in value of the skins is attributed directly to conditions of the fur markets, and not to the quality of the Alaska furs.

Nothing Definite on
 B i g M 5 our i

Although rumors have been numerous regarding the out look for the Big Missouri prop erty since the recent meeting here of w. M. Archibald and M. M. O'Brien, of the Consoli- dated Mining and Smelling Co.,, and J. T. Gregory of the Big Missouri Mining Co.,, noth- ing definite can be learned at this time regarding the future contemplations of the control ling interests.
 It is generally believed that the meeting here of the three officials was to determine whether it was advisable to proceed now or delay until later further development of the property. What the results of the conference will be must apparently await the future, as the visiting officers would make no statement. While this is decidedly disappointing to a community which bases much of it's future outlook on the continued development of the property, it reflects no more .han the normal attitude of he Consolidated company of- ficials toward giving out infor- nation regarding company af- fairs.
 Indications, however, point with some certainty to con- tinuance of the present activ- ities for a while.

MEX|COMAKES MOVE
 ID HELP SILVER

In an effort to bolster the silver price, announcement has been made that the Mex ican treasury department will soon issue a decree requiring all banking institutions to car ry a 70 per cent of all guaran- tees in silver, instead of in
 gold, as at present. It is ex- pected that this measure will require the purchase of about 7O,000,O00 pesos Cor about S14,000,O00 in United States currency at present rates) in silver, which would aid mater ially in stabilizing the silver peso.
 Great Britain purchased sil- yer to the value of 39,945,967 gold pesos from Mexico during 193O. Exports of Mexican sil- yer for the first ten months of che year-complete figures be- ng not yet available-were valued at 75,528,3O3 gold pesos, compared with 99,251,- 6O9 gold pesos in the same period of 1929.

Noted Railroad Man Visits

Lieut. Col. T. A. Hiam. executive officer of the Canadian National Railways and personal representative of Sir Harry Thornton on the Pacific Coast, was visitor in the district from Saturday to Monday, accompan- jed by Mrs. Hiam.
 Col. Hiam is no stranger to the district, having been located here for some time prior to 1920 representing the interests of Sir Donald Mann.
 During his stay Col. Hiam devoted some attention to the feasibility of linking this section up with the B. c. highway system, thus making high way connections with Alaska, and ap. peared much impressed at the com parative simplicity of such a pro- ject He also indicated much gratffi- cation at the advancement of the district since his last visit and ex- pressed the view that a resumption of normal conditions in the world will have an immediate effect in inn proving the local mining situation.
 During his stay Col Hiam visited the Premier mine and other points of interest, and also gave an inter- esting address on the League of Nations before the Canadian Legion branch ill Stewart.

Chickamin Tunnel
 Fails to Locate Ore

Development operations on the Metcalf and Fendley property were temporarily suspended this week, after the explora- tion tunnel, on which work has been in progress since last spring, failed to strike the ore zone within the distance ex pected from surface indicat- ions.
 The tunnel was projected to tap a large mineralized zone carrying free gold values which traverses the entire lorthwesterly slope of Banded Mountain. Driven from a deep gulch, the tunnel was expected o strike the ore at distance of approximately 80 feet but failed to make the anticipat- 2d contact after extension to l8O feet. The question of whe- ,her the ore zone lies beyond this point is considered by MT. c. l.. Hubbard, Seattle capital st, who is backing the prop erty, and his associates, as too problematical to warrant the heavy expense of continuing the tunnel to greater depth.
 Some further exploration work is to be done on the prop erty at another point by Messrs Metcalf and Fendley and if re- suits are found satisfactory ex- tensive operations may be re- sumed.

Rare Mineral Find Reported

The discovery of a deposit )f barium carbonate, or with erite, on Kuku Island, off the southeastern Alaska coast, by George Comstock, an oldtime prospector, was announced re- gently by B. D. Stewart, SUD- ervising mining engineer for the Territory.
 Comstock, who has located claims on the island, reported to MT. Stewart that he had found a deposit of the mineral in the form of pebbles on the beach, amounting to between two and three tons. Owing to the weight of the mineral it is believed the source of the pebbles is not far away.
 Witherite is said to be one of the rarest of minerals and has been found in but two other places in North America, one in Kentucky, the other in Ontario. So far as known the mineral has never before been found in Alaska.

B|G EASTERN COMPA ANY
 TAKES CANTU OPTION

The Cantu Mining Company, through Conrad Wolfe, pres ident, has granted an option on $250,000 shares of it's treas ury stock to Mayflower Asso- ciates, Incorporated, a general management investment trust with offices at Newark, N. J., according to both private and press advices received here this week.
 The option price of the stock was said to be 50 cents a share and the option extends to Aug ust 21. The option provides that the stock will be taken up as expenditures are made on the property by the optioning interests and under their di- rection, in the event that the first examination results in completion of the deal. A sec ond block of shares, which vii! exhaust the treasury, may then be acquired at $1 per share with enough additional private stock to give Mayflower con trol.
 From the information avail, able, Mayflower, Inc, appears to be a concern of considerable magnitude, with importan. mining holdings, which include Rhodesian Congo Border Con cession, Ltd, Biwana M'Kub- wa Company and N'Changa Company, African copper properties, in addition to var ious industrial holdings.

Rich Orebody Is
 Discovered at Chichagof

Discovery or an orebody car cying high values below the 1900 foot level, the lowest there, in the old Chichagof mine was revealed here recent ly by James l.. Freeburn, gen eral manager of that property under the Rust w allace regime and now owner.
 The discovery was made 113 feet below the 1900 foot level and some drifting was done OF the vein which runs from two to four feet in width.
 It will take some time to car. ry out the exploratory work necessary to determine the ex- tent of the body, bu MT. Free burn said that it was probable that mining and milling oper- ations would be resumed on the property. It will require several months to do the nec- essary exploratory and devel- opment work before milling can be launched.

AUTHORITY DECLARES
 HARD CASH NEEDED

"One of the main reasons for the continuation of this de- pression is the lack of hard cash, thus paralyzing the use of International trade, and the only solution at this time is 6 greater production of gold and some agreement whereby the price of silver will be stabiliz- ed," says A. c. Damon in a recent issue of the Mining Journal.
 Tt is my belief that 25-1 price between gold and silver is the most practical. I do not think that our producers want S1.OO silver, for they will al, be content with either 75 cents or 80 cents per ounce, if they are assured of stabilization With this ratio the banker also will be satisfied, for there is a very little chance for the pro- duction of silver, which has stayed at ratio of IA ounces to 1 ounce of gold for some time, getting to a point where 1t will exceed probably 2O-1.
 This way, with a ratio of 25 to 1, the banker will be satisfied in knowing that over production of silver can never tear down gold, and the miner will be given a fair price, and at the same time the purchas- ing power of the world increas- ed and our supply of needed hard cash materially increased.
 Remember, during periods of prosperity we do not need hard cash for our commercial interchange, but during times of depression, uncertainty. suspicion and lack of confi- dence, where credit is practic- ally ruined, hard cash plays most important part.
 "This depression has clearly brought out the important fact that every individual, every business, and, in fact, nations must have a supply of hard cash, both gold and silver, to act as reserve, so that these periods will be minimized in extent and duration. The gen. eral business of the world has increased 3 per cene each year since 1920, but our gold, or hard cash, has stood practical ly still.'
