GLACIER CREEK TO
 RESUME DEVELOPMENT

The Glacier Creek property north of Stewart and adjoining the Dunwell, will resume de- velopment operations during the present season, according to reports from Vancouver, stating that a contract has been let for 200 additional feet of drifting in the main crosscut tunnel.
 The objective of the new work is said to be the opening up of a 6-foot vein of good ore located by diamond drilling in earlier periods.
 The company is reported in good finaicial condition, with funds available for continual ton of development after the new contract is completed.
Hyder weekly herald., 1934-04-21

120,800 tons at the end of 1882 and 215,875 tons at the close of 1881.
 Earnings from the mine in 1888 were S161,726.O2 less than for the preceding year, when t h e income totaled S1,095,961.55.
 The exhaustion of ores of direct shipping grade, which represented a very large pro- portion of the total revenue of previous years, would, without ether offsets, have caused a much greater drop in profits in 1883, the report explains, but the offsets were "a sub- stantial improvement in the price of gold and silver, an in- crease of 23,O00 tons in the ton- mage milled, an improvement in the ratio of concentration causing a lessened proportion of concentrates to bear freight and smelling charges, and the skill with which the manage ment at Premier mine reduced it's. costs. Operating costs per ton were kept practically the same, namely $3.21 compared with $3.19 in 1892"
 As note of interest, MT. Guess points out that during the period of regular product ion to the end of 1883, fourteen years and one month, 2,518,724 tons of ore were mined and milled or shipped. Total pro- duction of metals for the period was 1,332,069 ounces of gold and 33,873,225 ounces of sil- yer.
 Total profits after deducting writeoffs and taxes, but before deduction of depre- citation and ore depletion charges were $21,281,537.44.
 Dividends paid to sharehold- CTS during the same period, in- cluding the dividend paid Jan- uary 15, 1884, have aggregated the rep ort states.
 Estimated ore reserves a, of December 31, 1883, are giv- en as follows:

ROOSEVELT B A MS
 FURTHER ACTION
 ON REORGANIZATION

ISlICl 1Jl lIlc C0llp ; OdSlC lll- dUgtry througth silver remon- eJization were all but shattered Monday with the radio an- nouncement from Washington that President Roosevelt is op- posed to further silver legisla- tion during the present session of Congress and no further at tempts at remore t z a i 0 n would be countenanced by the administration.
 Coming almIost on the heels of rec e Il | declarations by high officials that silver rep resenta lives would be given an opportunity to vote on the issue if they could agree on a suit able measure, the statement caused a feeling of deep dis c0uragement to settle over the camp, which is dependent al- most wholly upon further in- crease in silver prices for fu- .ure prosperity and possibly for very existence.
 Later 1t was announced by Speaker Rainey .3f the House of Representatives that Presi- dent Roosevelt is not opposed to silver but question. the ad- visibility of going ahead with any legislation now.
 "He prefers to continue the present purchasing powers un- der the London Conference agreement" the Speaker said.
 Subsequent reports, however, indicated that further silver action may develop in spite of the Presidential opposition. Immediate passage of silver legislation was demanded by the special Senate Silver Com- mittee. Senator King of Utah, chairman of the group, de clarad it was 'the unanimous view that silver must be lifted from its status as a commodity and made a primary money"
 King said he planned to ar range an immediate conference with the President on the ques- ton, as it was wise to get the executives viewpoint.
 Repor's heard o5e. the radio Thursday evening indicated a possible change in the prcsi- dcntial attitude, i2 a statement | to inc effect that Mir. Roosevelt | had signified willingness to en- -ei ttinte]tain proposals look ng to remonetization of silver. Reports of local listeners vary, | however, and it is believed that l he Presidents statement really | referred to inclination to con- ;ider proposals for remonetiz- 2tion by international agree nentment, rather than by the United States alone. A prop,os- ! Il of this character would not ! 1e so widely at variance with 1 lis previous attitude as indicat- ad earlier in the week.

ANNUAL REPORT OF
 PREMIER G. M. co.

Total earnings of the Premier Gold Mining Company for 1933 amounted to S934,235.53 and dividends paid to share holders during the year totaled S628,571.43, according to the annual report of H. A. Guess, vice-president and managing director.
 Detailing the results of oper- ations at the Premier mine, famous local property, MT. Guess states that 185,42l dry weight tons of ore, with an av- craze assay content of .29 ounces gold and 6.8 ounces sil- yer, were mined during the year and at, the end of 1883 the combined broken and unbrr ken ore reserves were 1888 tons less than at the end of 1882.
 This means, the report states, "that 117,088 tons of new ore was found and opened up for exploration and devel- opment during 1933." This, however, was 6,474 tons less than the amount of new ore brought in during 1882, when 123,562 tons were found.
 The report reiterates the statement of previous annual reports that "the Premier ore shoot bottomed as to commer-- cial values slightly above the 5th level with a few lisots of ore of profitable grade persist ing down in the eastern end, to the 9th level"
 Intensive exploration and deveolp1nent, combined with diamond drilling was continued throughout the year above the 6th level with the object of finding and opening up various spur and stringer veins in the walls of the main ore shoot. These were moderately suc- ceSsful, although failing to op- en up az much new ore as was was mined during the year, the report states.
 Although ore of a grade for direct shipment to shelter was practically exhausted at the end of 1882, such shipments were continued on a reduced scale for the first three months of 1883, but were suspended in April.
 Adjustments in the crushing circuit of the mill and in other departments enabled the mill, without additional equipment or decrease in metallurgical eff ficiency, to increase it's capac- lty by some 15%c, so that 175,- TIA tons of ere were milled, compared with 152,598 tons in 1882, thus making up to some extent the loss in revenue from cessation of crude ore ship ments.
 Broken ore reserves at the end of 1883, measured in dry tons, are placed in the report
