DEAL IS MADE
 ON MARMO1

That the Marmot river section will receive more than mere notice this year from mine investor, is an assured fact. Some of the finest ore ever shipped from the district came from properties in that section and there was somewhat of an influx of prospectors there last season, though too late to thoroughly cover the field.
 Several important dea's are pending for Marmot river properties. and one has just been consummated, the Ster- ling Investment Company of Vancouver taking over the Grandview group of four claims, owned by H. c. Magee, William Fraser, Alex Gi tillen, L. V. Kelly and j. Cullins. It is understood that the company plans to do consider able development work next summer.
 The mouth of the Marmot is across the inlet and abont two miles down from Hyder.

JOHN I. REED
 COMMISSIONER

John T. Reed, former deputy clerk of the court at Juneau, has received and accepted the appointment as commiss- toner for Hyder and will make his home here. Mr. Reed is an oldtime Alaskan and has taken more than a passing in terest in the starting of Alaska's new est mining camp. Last fall he spent a week or two here and at that time ex- pressed himself as highly pleased with the outlooN for the upbuilding of a thriving town and promised his assist ance Tn securing such public utilities as the town must have if it is to be a mo- dern community.
 The commissionership Carries with it the position of local magistrate, and also mining recorder, Within the next few months there will be numerous To- cations of mineral claims made on the Alaskan side of the border, and the convenience of having arecording office here will then be thoroughly appreciat- ed.

According to advices from Ketchkan that port and Hyder will soon be con- nected by fast, modern passenger a. d freight boat with a schedule of two or three trips week, according to the traffic.
 Roy Cole, who has been a resident of Wrangell and the west coast of Prince of Wales island for a number of years, and William Neill, who has had several years experience in operating gas boats in Alaskan waters, are now in Seattle fitting up the gas boat Prince of Wales for the run.

Reports and requests for informa- tion from all parts of the United States and even Great Britain indicate that the public mind is comparing the Fly der mining district with the Klondike, says the Ketchikan Alaska Chronicle Photographic reports received yesterday from Seattle to the Chronicle said that J.L. McPherson, manager of the flask a Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, in his annual report pre- dicted that the Portland Canal country would probably equal, if not exceed, the Klondike. "
 If Mr. McPherson was correctly quot ed, it is unfortunate, for there is, in fact, no comparison between the Klon- dike country in its balmiest days and the Hyder diatrict, as far as shown by development to this time. There is no question that the Hyder camp will make big showing and eminent engi- neers are quoted as saying one proper ty alone there will be "the greatest mine in the world But to compare it with the Klondike is to give wrong imp. ession. The Klondike was a pla cer proposition, shallow ground for the most part, while the Hyder camp is a qnartz, hard rock country.
 To compare the Hyder district to the Klondike is ike comparing the pulp and paper possibilities of the Ketchikan district to the Dawson mining camp The Hyder camp in all probability will produce more money and continue to be a well settled community for many years, permanently, and in the long run may produce more gold and other precious metals than did the Klondike, but it will be by an entirely different method.
 The mining district at the head of Portland Canal will require years of serious, scientific prospecting, such as has been going on there on few prop critics fory>ars. And the prospectors who do that work will be rewarded in time, some of them, while others will lose years of endeavor, but they will never be able to rush in, stake claim and leave the same fali with thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars as was done in the Klondike.
 Ali the big mine which is expected to be operated on a large scale during 1920 and later. a number of miners will be employed, quite large numbe', it is reported. Many others who own properties will either do more develop ment work the coming season than they nave uOne III years, Whlle oLlleI oWICIo , have already or will give options to others who will do some extensive pros pecting, all of which will require con- siderable help. Then in town there will be the business houses, with their em- ployes, to supply this number of men.
 Scientific prospectors, men who are used to going into the hills, to plug along, month after month, picking blanks and who often persist in their hunt until they do find it, will have am pie opportunity in the mining district back from Hyder, as they will in the vicinity of Ketchikan. Experienced miners will be able to find employment undoubtedly in the spring and there is
