They seek to boost the price of domestically mined silver to 1.29 a troy ounce by eliminating seigniorage and other minting charges currently pegging the price at 64.44 cents.

Also present were Donald Callahan of Wallace Idaho and A. G. MacKenzie of Salt Lake City, officials from the Mining Congress.
