Clay
Porter,
well

of
the
Portland

who
has
been
here
a
couple
of
days
while
on
his
way
to
Stewart
after
spending
the

In

believes
that
the
forth-

conference
.
in
London
may
have
a
far-reaching
effect
upon
the-mining
industry
of
this
district,
particularly
if
it
accomplishes
something
in
the
way
of
stabilizing
the
price
of
silver
at
a
.
higher
level
than
it
at
present
enjoys.
In
the
Portland
Canal
district,
for
instance,
there
are
a
number
of
properties
merely
awaiting
the
price
of
silver
to
reach
40c
or
49c
per
ounce
before
going
into
production.
Among
such
properties
Is
the
famous
Porter-Idaho
property
of
which
Mr.
Porter
was
the
former
owner
and
which
is
now

as
is

As
for

that

Unless

Is
an

in

price,
however,
no
