VOLUNTEERS OPEN
 SALMON HIGH WAY

Completing task which many wiseacres declared could not be accomplished in one day by such methods, fifty-three business men of Hyder and Stewart and a delegation from Premier, opened the Salmon River highway between Hyder and Premier last Sunday and the first automobile to come down from the mine this year reached Hyder Sunday even- ing.
 Assisted by the Bureau of Public Roads grader a Il d caterpillar tractors, the crowd of volunteer s n o w shovelers attacked with vim and vigor the several b i g snowslides which blockaded the road and opened a passage within eight hours; despite the fact that at one point on the highway a half mile or so in length, the snow was fully eight feet deep.
 The Hyder and Stewart dele gations were composed mainly of members of t h e Hyder Chamber o f Commerce and Stewart Board of Trade, while the Premier crew was made up of members of the mine office forces.
 The Premier company pro- vided a splendid hot lunch for the workers at the Nine-mile camp, thereby making an im- portant contribution toward the task of relieving the snow bound camp of the undesirable isolation caused by the block ade of the highway.
 Those contributing to the labor of opening the road dis played a splendid public spirit and are we'll entitled to gener- ous congratulations for their commendable efforts.

APRIL COMMERCE
 SHOWS INCREASE

A gain of nearly $6O,0O0 in Alaska exports in April, a compared to March, is shown in the monthly customs report of Alaska merchandise ship ments to the United States. The gain was due principally to in- crease in canned salmon and copper exports, with substan- tial increases n the volume and value of fur shipments.
 Including exports of gold and silver valued respectively at $356,600 for gold, $2,186 for silver, the total of all exports for the month was 845,882, a gain of $114,432 over March. The full list of exports follows:

R. R. BOOST SCHEME
 BEHIND ARG, TRANSFER

of the Alaska Road Commiss- ion to the Interior Department is really the basis of a cun- ming little scheme to make a toll road of the Richardson Highway with the object of boosting the revenues of the Alaska Railroad, which have fallen off sadly as result of the high rates instituted a year or so ago, is clearly indicated in the following letter from the Secretary of the Interior to the chairman of the House Com- mittee on Territories approving the proposed transfer. The let ter reads as follows:
 'I believe this action advis- able if we hope to succeed in our efforts to place the Alaska Railroad on a self-sustaining basis. Of equal importance is the effective control which Congress would have in consid- ering the budgets for the main transportation systems in the Territory The railroad, river, and highway systems would be under one head and expendi- lures could be properly corre- lated. The. Secretary of War is agreeable to this action and I enclose a copy of his letter to me of April 4.
 "The Richardson Highway was built from Federal funds and parallels the Alaska Rail- road into the interior of Alas ka. The rates on the Railroad were increased something more than a year ago and since then competition has developed by the establishment of trucking services over the highway which has already reduced the railroad revenue.
 ''It is not proposed to fix ex- cessive tolls over the highway, hut some tolls are necessary to provide proper regulation.
 'No administrative curtail- ment of the road building pro- gram for Alaska is expected to result from this transfer. I rec ommend the enactment of this legislation"
 It is also interesting to learn that the bill providing for the transfer of the Commission activities was introduced by that same Senator Howell, of Nebraska, who was primarily responsible for the high rail- road traffic rates, which ap- pear to be fast putting the road put of business and may ulti- mately result in its abandon ment if continued. Howell is now, to all appearances, seeking to destroy all possible competition through havingthe Richardson Highway convert ed into a toll road and abolish nig the highly beneficial and almost Territory wide road and trail activities of the Alas ka Road Commission.
 How well his scheme is suc- ceeding is disclosed by the above letter and by reports from Washington stating that on May 5 the Senate Commit

T h e B. C. Silver
 Pr e m i CT Deadlock


 Mining World and Engineer ing Record, of London, remarks as follows:
 "To an unprejudiced mind it would seem t h a t the long drawn out battle between Se- lukwe and the Premier Go. is definitely turning in favor of the British interests. As our readers are aware, the bone of contention is fully the B. c. Silver Mines, a property con- trolled by Selukwe to the ex- tent of 60 per cent, but of which Premier owns minor ity vote of 38 per cent. No res olution can be passed by either side, as the articles of associat- ion of the B. c. Silver Co. re- quire an 80 per cent. vote to carry any proposals altering the status of that company. Hence the present deadlock. The Premier mine may be able to produce for some time yet; the B. c. Silver has ore esti- mated to have a value of from $6,000,000 to $10,000,000. Premier has the mill tramway, and all necessary plant to deal with the remainder of it's own ore, and the whole of the B. c Silver ore. Why then, this deadlock?
 "The reason for the dead lock, is the difference in view point between the two parties. Premier wishes to do a deal on the basis of purchasing ore. Selukwe wishes to do a deal on a fifty-fifty basis. Premier has made similar deals to the form CT proposals with the Prosper ity, Porter Idaho and the Sil- verado, and unfortunately the results obtained by the share holders of those companies has been practically nil.
 " In view of these circum- stances, would it not be better to adopt the suggestion of MT. Cromwell Hockley, who is held in high esteem in City circles, and who received the unanimous vote of the share holders, notwithstanding the ten years delay. This sug- gestion was that the Premier should value it's mill, tramway and plant, the Selukwe Go. value it's interest, including ad- vances of nearly e200,000 to develop the property. Each party could then take shares in any new company. Addition al working capital could be supplied jointly, and the new undertaking should soon be in a position to yield good profits to all concerned. The Premier Go. is not asked to give up any thing; rather it would receive immediate benefits, and the management could t l l be under the control of the pre- sent able engineers. In war, time is always a doubtful neut- ral, and in the present instance neither side is gaining by the delay, and the sooner the two parties get round a conference table the better for the share holders of both undertakings"
