By PAUL MAM.ON. Copyright. 1935, By Paul Mallon SALT LAKE CITY. Utah Some Kew Dealers In Washington aurmlse that they have, bought the. five, silver ste-tee with their silver policy. They may. una out . the next election tht they have been shortchang ed. The lowdown on that la avall RDle from no less an authority than one-armed joe. He blows the warning whistle for blaat . Ings up at Bing ham, the largest am mln In IMUl. MALI.UN it.- 1., Vlrt tvtllaa fwim h.re. An entire mountain Is being blown away In twenty-three terraces, each flixty feet high, in a. spectacular low-cost search for copper, zinc, lead and, in cidentally, silver. The folders say 2.400 men are em ployed here, but Joe saya there are about 800, and he knows. Their pay depends on the price of copper, not silver. Consequently they -get little right now. But they are working twenty-four daya a month, whereas they were working twelve during the depression. To Joe. silver and gold are only ornament ores to sell to tourists. Cop per la the real metallic base of his economic life, and. in fact, of nearly all silver and gold mining areas. Joe's personal observations can be confirmed by the sharpest mining authority In the state of Utah. Any unquestionable authority will tell you confidentially that the adminis tration could forget about gold and silver as far as this region Is econ omically concerned. If It would boost the price of copper to twelve cents a pound. (It Is now between eight and nine cents.) The New Dealers could also forget about sliver If they could Induce the people of the midwest to paint their homes, factories end stores, thus us ing lead, of which silver also is an incidental by-product. The trouble Is It Is not profitable to mine a lot of copper and lend Just to sell the sliver to the government at a subsidized price. It might be profitable If the government boosted the silver price to its goal of 1.20 an ounce, but few mining operations here desire that. It would mean the storing up of copper and lead, thus possibly Influencing the price of these more Important commercial metals adversely. What the most prominent silver authorities here want Is a lot less than the sliver senators havo been contending in Washington. The mine owners would be content to know right now that Treasure?

The Bristol, who came to the spot about half an hour after the mishap, aatd one of the women, less seriously Injured, had managed to crawl back up the road to attract attention to the car. which could not be seen except. from the very edge of the road. The injured were still lying near the wreck, receiving what aid passing mo tori. sts could give until the doc tor, summoned from a CCC camp 30 mile away, could arrive.

Garner, 49, of Vancouver, j Wash., la recovering today In a Medford hotel after a harrowing ex- perlence he was forced through, at' the point of a gun, by two hitch- ; hikers he had befriended near Olym- ; pi a, Wash., last night. The two took ! his car from him, forced him Into the back seat and drove south Into Oregon. At Eugene they abandoned Gar ner's machine, which was out of gasoline and missing badly, and stole another from the streets of that city. At 4:00 o'clock this morn ing, about four miles north ot Grants Pass, they forced hlra out of the stolen auto, bound him to a pole with ropes, gagged htm. and after threatening to kill him, left him and proceeded south. Block Highways Garner succeeded tn squirming loose, and walked Into Grants Pass, where he notified state police. All roads and highways were immed iately blocked, and It Is the belief of state police that the two men, both described as about 25 or i!6 years old. one tall and dark and the other smaller and shorter, could not have escaped the country. State police are working on the possibility that the two are the same men that shot and killed Deputy Sheriff Loll near Portland Sunday morning. It Is believed that the two may have driven north Into Washington after the fatal shooting, and taken that means ot doubling back on their trail to avoid apprehension. Garner stated here today that the two seemed familiar with the streets of Portland, and both men were armed. When the trio stopped for gasoline near Eugene last night, they gave Garner a cigarette, with the remark "You'd better enjoy that one, buddy. It's the last one you'll ever (smoke." Again.' as they tied him to the pole, they sneerlngly told him to watt until the state police came for him. "We'll 'tell 'em where you are when we get to Med ford," Garner recalled the men say ing. They took the number of a nearby telephone pole, apparently for this purpose, but they did not notify police here. It was learned. Threatened Ufe It was while he was tied to the pole that the second threat against Qarner's life was made. One of the men, leveling a gun at Qarner's head, said: "Well, good-bye. old pal." and then apparently thinking better of the matter, laughed and walked away. All roads In southern Oregon and northern California are being guard ed today. When the two are ap prehended, a charge of kidnaping, carrying the death penalty under the recently enacted Lindbergh law, will be lodged against them, state police said. It will also be possible to file a robbery charge against them, they having taken a purse from Garner, containing "less than $50," he told police. Garner's car was discovered this morning on the streets of Eugene, exactly where It had been aban doned. The car in which the two disappeared near Grants Pass was described asta 1927 Studcbaker se dan. FOR SLAYERS OF PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. SO.

Last week nine men woke on Sunday morning to gaze reflectively upon the cold walls of the hoosgow and meditate upon their sins.
