GENEVA, Itfi—French Foreign
Minister Georges Bidault told the
opening session of the Indochina
conference Saturday that the war
in Indochina must be ended by an
internationally supervised cease
fire, followed by free elections.
In a 10-page statement the
French foreign minister put him
self on record as against partition
of Viet Nam, whose “unity, terri
torial integrity and independence
must be respected.”
Bidault, apparently anticipating
the claim to representation of the
Communist regime in Laos and
Cambodia, told the conference
there is not any civil war in these
two states.”
“In two of these states, Laos and
Cambodia,” he said, “the problem
is clear. There, there is no civil
war, but an invasion without
cause and without any declaration
of war, an invasion which more
over threatens neighboring coun
tries.”
Eight nations and representa
tives of the Communist-led Viet
minh took part in Saturday’s ses
sion, first formal session in Indo
china of the two-week-old Geneva
Conference. There were delega
tions from the Big Four, plus
Red China, the three Associated
States of Viet Nam, Cambodia,
Laos and the Vietminh.
The solution consists in direct
ing the retreat of the invaders and
in reestablishing territorial integ
rity of Laos and Cambodia, Bi
dault said.
Speaking of Viet Nam, Bidault
said the situation there represents
“a very different and more com
plex character. We are facing in
reality a civil war.
“For France there exists a Viet
namese state whose unity, terri
torial integrity and independence
must be respected.”

Second Division
Mining Report
Terr. Dept, of Mines Bulletin.
May, 1954
Lode tin mining and milling
operations by the U.S. Tin Ccfrp.
are continuing at their Lost River
property in the Second Division.
Operations for the month of April
were on a reduced tonnage scale
due to the customary low-water
conditions at this time of year.
Increased underground devel
opment will undoubtedly develop
sufficient additional water to
eliminate a cut-back during this
short period. Flotation cells are
now installed and the stockpile of
untreated concentrates is now
being processed to remove penalty
amounts of iron, copper, lead and
zinc sulphides from the tin con
centrate recovered by gravity
methods.
Considerable interest is being
shown in the extensive lead-silver
mineralized belt which extends
through the Darby Mountains
northward into' the Bendeleben
ountains and on into the Kugruk
River valley.
George Hellerick and Dr. Ken
nedy are reportedly planning an
exploration program for the
Brooks Mountain zunerite deposit
held by them.
Tips for Prospectors
A powered packer or mechani
cal wheelbarrow designed to pack
equipment into inaccessible areas
has made its appearance on the
market. Known as the Merry
Packer, the unit was developed by
the Merry Mfg. Co. of Edmons,
Wash., in cooperation with the
U.S. Army, Forest Service, and
others.
The unit, which has a load cap
acity of 400-500 lbs., is operated
by two' men, the operator in the
rear and a lead man to guide it.
It can be transported in folded
' condition under its own power,
and will climb over logs, ordinary
brush and debris, requiring no
highway or trail - as long as trac
tion can be maintained, the man
ufacturer states.
Power is supplied by an air
cooled 2Vfe-hp. continental engine
with special chain drive reduction
transmission friction clutch with
both two- and four-mile-per-hour
forward speeds.
Very little maintenance is said
to be necessary and there are few
parts to wear out. Overall dimen
sions are: length 100 ins.; width
29 ins.; height 34 ins.
