NEW SYNDICATE
 FOR MARMOT RIVER

Renewed interest in local mineral development is shown by the organization of the Gold King Mining and Developing Syndicate in Stewart on Thurs day this week.
 The purpose of the new or ganization as set forth in the syndicate agreement is to de- velop the well-known Chinook group of six crown-granted mineral claims, located on the north fork of Marmot River and adjoining the Melvin group.
 The capitalization of the syndicate consists of 100000 units of the par value of $5 per unit. The trustees are L. E. Bigham, original locator and owner of the group, K. H. Gray, Stewart attorney, and E. D. Haddon of Hyder. MT. Bigham, former local resident, who is now located in Juneau, is president of the trustees, and MT. Gray is secretary.
 Representatives of the organ ization informed the Herald that financial arrangements are under way whereby devel- opment work o.n the property can be undertaken as soon as climatic conditions permit. The work will consist of driving a crosscut tunnel to tap a vein about six feet in width from which assays up to 119 ounces of silver and about $9 in gold have been obtained, according to MT. Bigham. The same lead will also be cut at another point where assays as high as 1O45 ounces of silver and a half-ounce of gold were ob- tained.
 Surface work and open cut work on other showings is also contemplated.

NEW PROPOSAL AIMS
 FURTHER SILVER BOOST

Increased price for silver and a huge increase in trade with the United States by silver us- ing countries are proposed in new plan which was said to be under consideration by Presi- dent Roosevelt and may shortly be announced as a national pol icy, was made public Sunday in radio broadcasts.
 Details of the plan as heard by several local residents were reported to the Herald as fol lows:
 The United States would pur- chase silver in the world mark ct up to one billion ounces, at a price not exceeding $1 per ounce. Thereafter the govern ment would purchase not to ex- ceed one-twelfth of the annual world production of silver, ap- proximately 21 million ounces, on the basis of 1880 world pro- duction.
 This would have the effect of increasing the price and as sisting in it's stabilization by guaranteed purchase of a con- siderable proportion of the an- nual production.
 In addition to raising and maintaining the silver price as indicated, the United States would also endeavor to stimu- late trade with Mexico, South America and other silver coun- tries by accepting for goods purchased from this country payment in silver at price 25 per cent above the world mark ct price, up to the price limit ation of $1 per ounce. The most important effect of this would be to raise the price of silver to $1 or more an ounce throughout the world.

Wheeler Silver Amendment
 Fails In Senate Vote

Hopes of silver remonetiza- ton supporters for early estab- liShment of a definite parity between silver and gold in the national monetary system were again disappointed last Satur- when the 16-to-1 amendment to the Administration dollar devaluation bill was rejected in the Senate by the exceed ingly small margin of 2 votes. The vote was 43 for the amend ment and 45 against, accord ing to radio broadcasts.
 The original measure, auth orizing the President to reduce the gold value of the dollar to between 50 and 60 cents and creating a S2,O00,000,000 fund for a.abilizing the dollar on that basis, passed the upper house, with a few amendments, by a vote of 57 to 37. The measure had previously passed the House by a vote of 166 to 23.
 The defeat of the silver amendment is ascribed gener- ally to administrative opposi- tion based upon the desire to avoid too violent disturbance of the world financial equation and al:o to permit a definite outworking of the American proposed silver agreements adopted at the recent London Economic conference.
 Late reports indicate that reconciliation proponents are not discouraged by the reject ion of the amendment and see in the exceedingly close vote an assurance of increasing realization of the importance of silver as a currency basis which will ultimately result in the adopton of the bimetal- lie principle in national finance.

Orders further curtailing the local CWA activities were re- ceived late last week by J. K. Green, overseer of the flood control activities on Salmon River, on which the CWA workers are engaged.

 This will have the effect of reducing the local payroll from $152.70 per week to- $96.90.
