Premier Annual Report

arily high. This coupled with ex
tremely low price of silver made it,
early in 1931, impossible to operate
without loss and the property was
closed down in April.
Production and shipments to the
smelter for I lie approximately three
months operations in 1931 were 2.502
tons averaging 0.04 ounces gold and
69.75 ounces silver, containing a to
tal of 111.45 ounces gold and 174,549
| ounces silver. The average price re
| ceived for this silver was fractionally
over 28 cents per ounce, the report
says, and a loss was made during the
operating period of $19,006.21. Shut
down expenses during tlie balance of
i tile year brought this operating loss
i (o $19,937.36
Development during the three
months of operation aggregated 2,
: 760 feet, representing a little over one
foot of development per ton of ore
shipped.
! A loss was also sustained by the
company in connection with the Por
[ ter-Idaho operations, due to the low
price of silver. Ore occurrences on
the property are described as of the
same scattered and irregular type as
those on the adjoining Prosperity.
Operations were suspended April 11
after the production of and shipment
of 902 tons of ore averaging per ton
0.05 ounces gold and 90.07 ounces sil
ver and containing 45.58 ounces gold
and 81.217 ounces silver. Net re
turns from shipments after deducting
all expenses hut before deduction of
depreciation and ore depletion, result
ed in a loss of $15,990.71 and shut
down expenses during the remainder
of the year amounting to $2,419.36
brought the total loss for the year to
S18.410.07.
With reference to the company op
erations on the Salmon Gold group on
Summit Lake. 10 miles north of the
Premier, the report says:
During the summer of 1931. an on
j lion was taken on this group and a
j total of 21 mil-face cuts and 12 short
I diamond drill holes, aggregating 71S
feet, were completed. Total expendit
ures in connection were *4,068.99. The
conclusions reached were that the
gold values and the evidence of their
persistence in depth were not good
enough to justify further explorations
j and the option was relenquished.
With reference to the B. C. Silver,
the report states that the Premier
comnnny had some further corres
noudenee with the chairman of the
Seli.kwe Gold Mining and Finance
Company. Ltd., owner of the controll
ing interest, but no basts of arrange
ments for Operation by the Premier
could be found that were acceptable
to the Sclukwe company anti at the
same time beneficial to Premier. With
respect to the future outlook for suit
able arrangements, the report says:
“No doubt such an arrangement
would be facilitated by a substantial
improvement in the price of silver.”
The report states that of the $625,
712 distributed ill dividends in 1921,
*102,599 accrued from the year’s earn
ings and tlie balance of 522,114 was re
turn of capital through reserve ac
counts set up for ore depletion and
depreciation.
