Mcdonald Writes of Atlin

James F. Mcdonald, former local restaurant man who quit dealing hamburgers and took to the hills several years ago, is now located in the Atlin dist rict, where he is engaged in prospecting, according to a let ter received by the Herald.
 MT. Mcdonald describes the district as small in mining pro- duction at present and confined at present entirely to placer gold, of which about $250,0O0 worth was produced last year. There are possibilities of in- creased production both in placer and quartz, he states.
 The climate is of the interior type, slightly affected by prox- unity to the coast.
 "The increased price of gold materially aids the miners," MT. Mcdonald states.
 "There is a government liquor store in Atlin and no one ie on relief" the letter continues, "so we may consider ourselves we'll favored these times"
 MT. Mcdonald states that John "Scotty" Thomson is To- cated on Birch Creek. where he was engaged this winter in what is termed scientific sniping. Continuing, the ur- bane James wrote that Thom- son spent last winter in an ex- tensive prospecting trip and adds with the usual results" Thomson maintains his cheer ful disposition, however, and I know keeps the wolf well away from the door,"
 "We still hope to find that Bryan was right and that the price of silver will again be- come on ratio with gold, as it was from the dawn of hist ory until the nations erected the Golden Calf and wor- shipped" the letter continues.
 'I have only admiration for the President and believe he is going step by step to restore silver to its rightful place in the worlds commerce. It will require considerable diplomacy and the cooperation of Eng land, but 1 believe he will do it."
 In conclusion MT. Mcdonald sent regards to all local friends.

LOCAL RAILROAD
 CHARTER OPPOSED

Efforts to extend the charter of the local Canadian North Eastern Railway, the old Bear River railroad, extending north from Stewart, were bitterly op- posed in hearings held last week before the Private Bills committee of the. B. c. Legis- lature, according to Victoria reports.
 Owned at present by the c h. solidated Mining and Smelling Company, and Canadian Pacif. ic Railway, the line, IA miles in length, was built in 1910 by Sir Donald Mann and associ- ates to provide transportation to the Red Cliff mine.
 The present charter, renewed in 1929, provided for the ex- tension of the line to Fort Gra- hame on the Finlay River with in period of five years. Ulti- mate extension from Fort Gra- hame to the Peace River dist rict was contemplated at the time of the purchase, acc ording to current reports.
 It is this prospect of extension to the Peace that forms the ba- sis of present opposition, owing to possible conflict with the tn- terests of the government Pacific Great Eastern railway, extending northward from Vancouver to Prince George, near the border of the Peace River district.
 Speakers before the commit tee contended that extension of the charter would mean death to the P. G. E. and the govern ment investment of $67,500,- 900. So long as a charter for the Stewart line existed it would be impossible to per- suade any interests to extend the P. G. E. to the Peace, and only such an extension would make the P. G. E. pay, it was declared.
 w. J. Asseltine, representa- tive of the Atlin district, SUD- ported the charter extension, with reasonable safeguards to assure construction of the line as far as Fort Grahame. Coun- sel for the owners contended it was unreasonable to have expected construction in the last five years. ..

SILVER BILL PASSES HOUSE

Monday by an announcement from Washington stating the House of Representatives had passed by an overwhelming majority the Dies silver bill, providing for the acceptance of foreign silver in payment for surplus agricultural products at prices for the white metal 25 per cent higher than the market.
 The vote on the bill was 257 to 112, eleven more than the 'two-thirds majority required to carry the measure over the presidential veto, should such action become necessary to en- actment.
 Coming on the heels of the declaration by Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau that administration investiga- tion had revealed that "some silver advocates" were inter ested in speculating in silver stocks, the remarkably large vote was looked upon as re- buking the Secretary's implica- ton that Congressman were among the spectators referred to by him.
 The Morgenthau statement revealed that the object of the governments recent investiga- tion of the silver situation was to determine if all the numer- ous silver advocates were Gen tirely disinterested."
 While asserting that "some were not disinterested," the secretary admitted that the investigation had revealed that no member of Congress was buyer or seller of silver specu- lative stocks.
 The measure approved by the House was introduced by Rep resentative Martin Dies, Demo- crat, of Texas. By giving in- creased value to foreign silver in the purchase of surplus agri- cultural products, the measure, if enacted, is expected to in- duce a marked increase in ex- ports of those commodities.
 President Roosevelt, however, is said to be opposed to further action on silver and may eXer- else the veto power if the meas ure passes the Senate.
 Although disclaiming inten- tion to undertake further act in favor of silver, an announce ment that Professor Rogers, one of the administration "brain trust" will proceed to China to study the silver situ- ation there, has revealed that President Roosevelt and his advisers have not relegated the white metal entirely into the background of administration consideration.
 Silver supporters expect no results from the China mission, pointing out that the Chinese government is not now desir-
