NEW HOPE FOR PREMIER
B. C. SILVER DEAL
That new communicaliilons
loickiing to the operation of the
local B. C. Silver property are
passing between the Selukwe
Gold Mining and Finance Com.
pany and the Premier Gold
Mining Company which may
lead iib definite arrangements
for the future operation of the
property was disclosed in a
statement made by chairman
Cromwell Hockley at the last
annual meeting of the Selukwe
company.
As reported by the Mining
World and Engineering Record
of London, Mr. Hlockiley indi
cated that ithe real difficulty
between Selukwe and Premier
was explained by what he des
ignated a,? the unwillingness
of the Premier company, who
hold's a minority interest, to
agree to the large sums spent,
as having been expended to
their joint interests.
In other words, Mr. Hockley
explained, the Canadiians wish
the Selukwe to make a present
to the B. C. Silver Corporation
iof the whole, or at any rate, a
proportion of the advances
made by Selukwe Ito the B. C.
Silver Corporation, totaling
£189,335.
Further defining the Selukwe
position, Mr. Hockley read a
statement alleged *io have been
made by Mr. Dale L. Pitt at
the annual meeting of :he Pre
mier company April 3, in
which the Premier manager
was quoted as follows with
reference to ithe Premier oper
ations:
“That if a further aeven
months’ Ore were opened up—
and we should be able to—
that would make ore available
for 15 months, total dost per
ton $3.90.”
Proceeding, Mr. Hockiley said
if ithe costs had been reduced
to $3.90, it was obvious that
even were ithe B. C. Silver to
erect its own mill, they could
not hOpe to work at such a
low rate. Moreover, the Pre
mier owned a cable railway 10
miles in length, which in any
case could not be duplicated.
Continuing, Mr. Hockley said
the Board of the Sellukwe Co.
had always Itaken up the atti
tude tha/i they would be willing
■to hand over the management
and working of the property
to an operating company and
would be perfectly willing to
abide by the results on a 50
50 basis.
As the Premier Oo. held 39
per cent, nothing could be done
to raise further capital.
There was only 'one possible
meithod by which the Selukwe
Co. could operate, Mr. Hock
ley continued, and quite recent
ly they had written to ’the Pre
mier Go. stating that they were
perfectly willing to work wilth
them, but ithe time was close
at hand when alternative pro
posals Would have to be put be
fore Seilukwe shareholders.
That alternative was that an
HIGHER THAN $1
SILVER PREDICTED
Full exercise of the silver re
serve clause of theL/ondon Con
ference silver agreement by
the 66 signatory nations would
find the present world silver
suppily totally inadequate, ac
cording to an eminent statis
tician. The reserve clause re
ferred to provides that these
nations may, if they so choose,
use silver bullion as one-fifth
of their metallic reserves as
backing for currency issues.
Pointing out that the world’s
monetary gold stocks amount
to about $12,000,000,000 at
$20.67 an ounce and $21,000,
000,000 at $35 an ounce, this
authority states that full exer
cise of the clause would create
a demand for three billlion dol
lars worth of silver at the old
gold price and for four and a
quarter billion dollars worth at
the present gold price. As it
is estimated there is niot more
than 2.7 billion 'ounces of sil
ver available for this purpose
in the world, it is apparent that
there is not nearly enough to
go around even though the
price of gold returned to the
old .figure.
Pointing .out further that
there can be produced not to
exceed 160 to 170 million
ounces of new mined silver for
monetary purposes a year and
allowing for a 2 per cent in
crease in monetary gold a year
this writer contends that even
under a system of symetallism,
something over $200,000,000
worth of silver would have to
be added to the world's mbnet
ary system each year Ito main
tain the one-fifth silver re
serve of the nations.
Whatever may be the out
come, he says, it appears very
probable that silver will be de
termined at some price con
siderably more than a dollar
an ounce.

Long Aerial Brings
Remarkable Reception
What is said to be the long
est radio aerial in Alaska and
perhaps in the world is located
at the Gold Top claims in the
Willow Creek district, accord
ing ito recent press reports.
The aerial contain’^ 3,700
feet of line and rises to an al
titude of 1,100 feet. It was
installed by W. G. Smith, a
mining engineer of the district.
The aerial is. connected Oo a
6-tube Silverton battery set.
Reception is said to be marvel
ous. Some stations are al
most heard twice, the first com
ing direct, the second after
circling the earth and sounding
like an echo of the original
message.
i operating company shiould be
formed which would take a
lease on the ere of the B. C.
Silver Co. and a lease on the
ore of the Sebakwe Co. on the
same terms as the Premier
were willing to do, Mr. Hock
ley said.
