PREMIER SHUTDOWN
 REPORTS ARE DENIED

Reports published recently by Vancouver newspapers to the effect that the Premier mine would close down soon owing to ore depletion have been en- phatically denied by Dale l.. Pitt, general manager of the Premier Gold Mining Comp any.
 MT. Pitt, in a press interview, denied absolutely that the company is contemplating sus- pending its operations at the Premier and declared that op- erations are being conducted on a normal scale.
 In addition to flatly denying that shutdown is imminent, MT. Pitt also placed a quietus on the ore depletion report by asserting that the probable life- time of the property has not even been estimated.
 MT. Pitt characterized the re- ports of an early closing down of the property as particularly unfair to the small stockhold- CTS of the company.
 MT. Pitt returned Thursday from Vancouver, where he at- tended the annual meeting of the Premier company last
 week. H. A. Guess, vice. president and managing di- erctor of the company, was present at the meeting and de- tailed the situation at the Pre- mier mine along the lines pre- sented in the annual report, a digest of which was published recently in these columns.

OUTLOOK FOR EARLY
 SILVER ACTION GOOD

That the minds of world lead CTS are turning more and more toward silver rehabilitation as an essential to the restoration of world prosperity is clearly disclosed in evidence present ed recently at the silver investi- gation now being conducted on its own initiative by the House committee on coinage, weights and measures in Washington.
 Sir Reginald McKenna, of the great Midland Bank, Lon don, told the house committee in a letter that he thought prompt international cooper ation on silver Imperative. His statement was an answer to a request by chairman Som- CTS for an expression on the need for an international con- ference on silver. Similar re- quests were sent by Somers to government officials and econ- omists of several countries. In his reply, Sir Reginald ex- pressed the opinion h a t prompt international cooper ation is not only desirable but imperative at the present time" and that "a reasonable stabil- ity can be given to the cause of silver only through information al action"
 In answer to similar quest ion, Winston Churchill, former chancellor of the British ex- chequer, said he considered that the question of the re- mobilization of silver through the joint action of the principal western nations should be one of the principal matters to be considered by international conference" He also expressed the view that prompt inter- national cooperation upon the monetary conditions is not on- ly desirable but imperative at this time and that it can be eff fected only through internat- ional conference"
 Sir Robert Horne, former English chancellor of the ex- chequer, predicted that the re- monetization of silver would be one of the chief topics to be considered at the next British imperial conference at Ottawa in June and endorsed sug- gestion that the United States might act in conjunction with Great Britain in establishing a bimetallic standard. He said he believed the establishment of a bimetallic standard would be an aid to the solution of the worlds most difficult econom- ic problems.
 Continuing his long effort to induce action on silver by the administration, Senator King of Utah recently intro duced a resolution requesting President Hoover to call an in- ternational silver conference.
 The resolution calls for a con- ference to consider plans to increase the use of silver for monetary and other purposes, including the restoration of sil- yer to it's proper monetary status as a part of the primary and basic money of the world"

Salmon River Flood
 Control Report Arrives

several copGeS Of the printed
 report of the War Department
 Engineers office on the Salmon
 river flood control project were
 received this week by the Her
 aid fir 0 m Alaska delegate
 Wickersham.
 The flood protection plan
 proposed by the report con-
 templates a single dike of pile,
 brush and rock construction
 extending parallel to the east
 bank of Salmon river from a point just south of the rock jet ty below the graveyard to the vicinity of the river mouth.
 The entire length of the pro- posed improvement is 4,334 feet, including 681 feet of the existing pile structure a short distance south of the old rock wing dam. The design to be followed in the 3,653 feet of new construction includes ex- cavatton to the grade of the bottom of all overflow chan nels crossing the location. The eXcavated material is to be ov- ercast away from the river as waste bank which will serve the dual purpose of providing backing for the pile, brush and rock revetment as we'll as a roadway for a permanent mar, rowgauge track for the haul ing of brush and other mater ials for construction and main- tenance. Dredging of divers ion channels is not considered necessary or practicable. The only addition work contemplat- ed is the reconstruction of the 681 feet of the present pile structure and the clearing of the westerly portion of the original flood plain, from which the suitable timber would be used in the construct ion of the revetment, The latter would comprise a sloping wall of logs, rock and brush work. The project also contemplates the abandonment of a short section of the present road at the rock cut a short distance north of town and construction of a new section of highway connecting with the ecemetary road and running acrosse the easterly side of the cemetery plot.
 Estimated cost of the pro- posed plan is placed as fol- lows. Recontruction of initial 681 feet, $3,770; new con- struction, 3,653 it., S41,32O; clearing flood plain west of the present channel, $3,200; ;engin- aering supervision and incl 1entals, S4,710. Total, S53,000. Annual maintenance is estimat- ed at 1000.
 The recommending clause of the report signed by Major Elliott, says:
 The survey has established the fact that the floods of Sal mon river can be controlled to the extent of providing ade- luate protection to both Feder- al and private property at Fly der at a cost of $53,O00 which to be justified by the benefits to be derived. I there fore recommend that the work as outlined be authorized by a Federal appropriation of $46,- 900 and $500 annually for maintenance, the expenditure

BANK OF RYDER
 SUSPENDS BUSINESS

der districts sole banking in stitution, voluntarily suspended business Tuesday morning as a result of conditions created by the prevailing economic situ- ation combined with the pres ent depressed state of the local mining industry resulting from the great fall in silver and oth- CT metal values in the world markets.
 The decision to suspend bus mess and go into voluntary liq- uidation was take by the board of directors at a meeting held Monday evening, after a survey of the banks position and out look had revealed assured ina bility to maintain profitable op- eration under present condit- ions and with risk of mourning unwarranted losses to deposit ors and stockholders. As re- suit of this timely decision, the bank is in a position to return to depositors a large percent age of their deposits within a short period, according to the bank officials. In addition, there is every prospect that in the final adjustment of the banks affairs, depositors will be reimbursed in full.
 MT. E. D. Haddon, cashier and manager, explains the banks position in the following statement to the Herald:
 Owing to the continued de- pression and gradual shrink age of deposits, combined with inability to realize on collect ions fast enough, the directors of the bank decided that in the interests of depositors and stockholders it was advisable to go into voluntary liquidation and discontinue the business of banking.
 "As soon 2s the legal formal ities are completed, substant- ial dividend will be paid and it is expected that depositors will be paid in full in the very near future" ."
 Following the boards decis- ion the Territorial Banking Board was advised of the situ- ation by telegraph and request was made for the appointment of a receiver to take charge of the business pending liquidat- ion. To this the banking board replied that action to adjust the banks affairs would be taken as soon as possible. Pend ing appointment of a receiver by the district court at Juneau the banking board appointed MT. Haddon custodian. It is also desired by a majority of the depositors that MT. Had don be appointed receiver and the present outlook is that this may be done.
 Although the absence of a To- cal banking institution will un- doubtedly prove a serious hard ship to the business elements, it is believed that the failure will not precipitate further business dissolutions.
 The Bank of Hyder was es- tablished in 1920 with MT. J. A. Hall, the present president, as president and managing d. rector and has been one of the most important factors in the upbuilding of the camp and advancing local business and industry.
