Revell has been an Alaskan for something like 23 years, or since the gold rush to Cook. Inlet in '95-'96, and has seen many min ing cam s. It is, therefore; significant that he intends to make his home in Hyder in the spring

Friends of Geo. M. Berry who, with his partner, Fred Lee, has been pros pecting in this district this summer, have given up hopes that they will see him alive. He left Hyder in small boat on the morning of Oct. 16 to go down to his camp, on the Canadian side about ten miles below town, to get his outfit, intending to return Saturday, but he never reached his camp. When he had not returned by Monday his part ner and Frank Gillespie went in search of him. They spent three days comb ing both shores, but were unable to find any trace of either him or his boat.
 Berry had been en years in Alaska, coming to the territory from Butte. He was known as good hard rock miner and pump man, and had been quite active in union circles, having be organizer for the Western Feder- ation of Miners in Valdez, and secre- tary of the union in both Valdez and Met arthy. In 1912 he ran for repre- sentative on the Socia ist ticket at Val deZ.

John T. Reed, Sent in on investigat- ing Trip by Ad- ministration, is Much Impressed by Gro W tn of Hyder and will Press for ! m- prOvements.

''The vital need of Hyeer today is deep water wharf, and this will rec ommend."
 ''This town must have money order office, and as quickly as possible. 7"
 Why connt the pennies when the country is so immensely wealthy?"
 Everything that helps Hyder helps stewart, and vice-versa- -'
 These are some of the expressions used by Deputy Clerk of the Court John T. Reed in talk with the Miner. Mir. Reed was sent in by the Administration to look into the situation here, to make recommendations as 10 the towns i'm mediate needs and to check mp the lic- ences of business houses. While here he visited all the business houses in the town and became thoroughly conver- saut with conditions as they exist He is greatly impressed with the potential possibilities for fine city here, in fact he said that the longer he stayed the better the town appealed to him.
 'It grows on one," he said.
 Discussing the needs of the town he expressed himself in the strongest pos sible terms as to the necessity for the immediate construction of wharf to accommodate the largest coastwise vessels and be adequate to handle the immense freight and passenger traffic which will undoubtedly begin to flow this way as early as next February. He deprecated the fact tha: all the busi- ness for the town had now to be landed on the Canadian side and said he could not see why the Americans should not at least do as much in the way of fur nishing facilities as our Canadian cous- ins are doing.
 "Everything that helps Hyder helps Stewart, and vice-v rsa, he sad, but why should the Canadians spend all the money to furnish the necessary accom- modations? Why shou d the United State count the pennies when the coun- try is so immensely weathy?"
 That the town al eady needs mon ey order branch in the postoffice he admitted without question, and said that this is one of the things that he would impress upon the Administra- tion.
 MT. Reed is regular sourdough, having whipsawed out the lumber for his boat and fioated down to Dawson P years ago. He takes great inter ess in mining, and looks for an exten- sion of the mineral b-lt northwestward the entire length of the panhandle on both sides of the line; and. connecting up with the Atlin belt. That there is a vast virgin mineral belt to north west of us, of which the Salmon river discoveries are but a suggestion. he is firmly convinced, and now that the hardy sourdoughs are drifting into southern Alaska he expects this belt to be open ed up without further delay.
