Beaverhead Merchants H a d Sales of $11.717,000 During The Past Fiscal Year N E W YO R K , Dec. 17— H o w w e ll did re ta il storekeepers in Beaver head County make out in the past fiscal y e a r? The figu r e s on local business activity, ju s t released as part o f a national survey, show that they had a good year. Th e ir sales v o l ume was surprisingly high, not withstanding the persistent ta lk o f a forthcom ing depression, which caused many consumers to cut down on th e ir spending. The survey was made b y the Standard R a te and D a ta Service, u tilizin g data obtained from na tional, state and local sources. I t covers the 12 months through June 30,1962. R e ta il stores in Beaverhead County, it is shown, had gross sales o f $11,717,000. The volum e o f business was Holiday N e w s . men’ s agreem ents fo r an in ter national standstill.

I t looks lik e it w ill be a lon g tim e fo r silver in this country is gen era lly mined w ith lead and other base m e tals which are so cheap now i t ju s t w o n ’ t pay. A lso, th e re is increased demand fo r silve r fo r m a n y new and old uses— from silverw a re to bear ings, silve r n itrate, jew e lr y , elec trica l contacts, etc. This w ill keep the p r ic e up fo r á lon g tim e in the forseeable future.
