Premier Deal Is
 Finished

Confirmation of the reported sale of big interest in the Premier mine is contained in an interview with R. K. Neill, general manager of the Premier Gold Mining Co.,, in the Vancouver Province. The new blood in the con- pany represents Guggenheim and Sil- verman interests. Reorganization has been accomplished and plans have been made for progressive program of de- velopment. R. w. Wood, of Fernie re- mains as president of the company and Mir. Neill as general manager. Other officers now are: Vice president and managing director, H. A. Guess, north west manager of the American Refin- ing and Smelling Co.,; SC ond vice-pres- de nt, Minor c. Keith, fruit importer of New York, who has not been in the mining business before; secretary, w. E. Norris of the Guggenheims; treas- urer, LA. Chapin. Directors, R. w. Wood and W.R. Wilson of Fernie; R.K. Neill of Spokane; HE Price of the Silverman group; M. c. Keith, w. c. Potter and H. A.Guess of New York.
 While MT, Neill made no announce ment as to the price, the amount of money involved is unquestionably so large sum as to make the deal the largest tran saction of the nature which ever took place in British Columbia. It is understood that 40 per cent int crest changed hands.
 With the consummation of this deal the certain amount of hesitancy which marred progress in the Portland Canal will disappear, for the company now has all the money it requires to under take the opening of its great mine on,a large scale. It is thought that the de- velopment program, which cohtemplat- ed the shipment of ore this winter will be carried forward. It is expected that enlarged plans for development con- template railway to the mine and ther' by cheapening of shipping costs and the expense of getting supplies to the property.
 During the past summer many well known engineers examined the prop erty. These men repre- ented the Guggenheims, Hayden and Stone, Fed eral and other money groups.

FORTY NINE CAMP IS READY FOR
 WINTER Outside Work is Finished For Season and Men
 Underground Full Face of Occidental Tunnel in Fine Quality
 of Mineral

With all the outside wo,k completed and supplies enough at the mine to last fifteen men for seven months, the crew at the Forty Nine have settled down to winter of progressive development. Superintendent Harry Howson came down from the mine Wednesday eve hing, and says that affairs there are in very satisfactory ndition. Both the Occidental and the Forty Nine. tunnels are being driven ahead, the former in hipping ore, and the latter in a good concentrating grae. The Forty Nine tunnel was driven as crosscut to tap the vein, and when the ore body was reached, was continued as a drift. It is heading toward the high gra ore body which shows on the outcrop.
 Had we the facilities for getting the ore out,' said Harry, i've could be making daily shipments right now. |"
 The superintendent believes in keep ing good crew together by providing them not only with necessities but with all possible comforts. With this idea in mind the camp has been built on a thoroughly modern plan, with batus, hot and cold water, oil heaters, the best of grub and an A 1 cook. The medical and first aid supplies were specially se- Iected by George raser, and nothing in this line was overlooked. not even the hot water bottle.
 A complete assay office is also estab- lished at the mine, with Percy Jenns in charge. The convenience and necessity of thls need not be amplified.
 Considering the fact that the first man went on the ground as late as July l, and that there were absolutely no Improvements there at that time, the Forty Nine crew have made a wonder ful record of accom- lishment. Now that they are on the underground work winter of gratifying development is anticipated.

WIRELESS OUTFIT RECOMME
 BY REED

A wireless station for Hyder is one of the things for which John T. Reed, who was sent here by the Administra- tion to look into the needs of the camp, intends to work. MT. Reed went back to Juneau early in the week, ard will have lot to say about Hyder- He be- came so enamored of the town that it wouldn't surprise anybody much if he should come here to live.
 MT. Reed says that the wireless has been brought to such state of perfec ion that the mountains will be no det- riment to its operation were station established here, and he is convinced that the town is ready of enough im- portance to warrant the installation of plant as soon as possible.
 MT, Reed is going to press for an i'm proved mall service, lnclcding a money order department. He says there are a couple of submarine chasers loafing around Seattle with nothing to do, and if the government wanted to do some thing for this country they might send one of these swift boats here to carry the mail
 He also gays that there will nndoubt- edly be commissioner sent here in the near future, who will be also mining recorder and probate judge. It will be welcome news that recorders office is to be opened, as number of claims will be relocated on the first of Jan uary and heretofore the recording has had to be done in Ketchikan, involving long and expensive trip. The Ketch- ikan records will immediately be tran scribed so far as they affect this camp, and the new books brought Aere.

BOAT IS
 DISCOVERED

That George M. Berry has met his death by drowning as reported last week has been practically confirmed by the finding of his boat which was float ing bottom side up almost opposite Swamp Point, 35 miles down the canal. The discovery was made by Jim Martin lineman on the Canadian governmen telegraph line. How the tragedy occ- urred will undoubtedly remain an un- solved mystery. No trace of the body has been found.

BODY OF MARTIN LOCATED ON
 SAnDbAR

Lying on a gravel bar and badly bruised, the body of Hugh Macpherson Martin, who was drowned on August in Bitter Creek short dis tance from 'where it empties into Bear River, was discovered about half mile below the mouth of Bitter Creek last Tuesday by Sam Fitzgerald. The de ad mans bro ther was wired for and may be here to- day to look after the remains.
 M ;rtin was knocked into the water while fixing tempor ry b idge. The body was not seen by his companions Bert Olson and Dan Woodmore, after it disappeared into pile of driftwood. They tried to save him but the strong current swept him away. Itwas thought the swift water would have lashed the body to pieces, but it was evidently swy pt out into an eddy. Several searrh- CTS have tried to find the body since the river became low. The Fitzgerald bro- thers on Tuesday had finished prospect ing some groand and were on their way back to town when they made camp. Sam thought he wou d look for the body and took the dog along. The keen an imal soon had Martins body located.
