At this time he put through the much talked of enterprise of build- ing the Panama canal. When his duties as President ceased he was sent to Africa by the Smithsonian h. stitution at Washington to hunt big game, having his son Kermit for a companion. In 1913 he visited Ar gentina and Brazil ad discovered a river which was called after him.

Ravings of a
 Pipe Dreamer

CordoVa boasts a citizen whose imagination is something colossal. He is a barber and his name is Bowers. But 1t should be Ananias MunchauSen. Here is his descrip- tion of Hyder-Reud il and weep,
 The lid has been clamped upon Hyder, tine dance halls are closed and gam6ing and drinking have been declared illegal. When I left, ten days ago, there were about 125 people at Hyder ard 100 at Stew art, on the British Columbia side. If Hyder had remained wide open for three more months that place would have boasted of at least 10000 people, bu: now the last from tier town in Alaska is tight"
 That; in short, is the story of Hy- de- brought to Cordoya by H. Bow CTS, tonsorial artist and mining man who has returned from the south, according to the Times.
 Old sourdoughs would have en- joyed tine sight in Hyder as I had first, said Mir Bowers. The town was wide open, whlskey and 7 to Is per cent beer was being sold at many bars. Girls were there, too, either dancing or soliciting drinks at the bar Pianos were thumped, roulette blackjack and faro were being play ed.
 Then all of a sudden John Roman former senator from Seward, was ap- pointed deputy marshall, and he re- ceived word to close everything.
 Roman went around and told the various propEietoes that the lid was on aAd to forget the past.
 Bang! went the lid, and hundreds could not get away from Hyder fast enough. Many went to Stewart, one miae away and just across the border. There everything seems to be wide open"

tunnel has been driven about 150 feet vertically below and following the vein for little over 400 feet showing each of the ore-shoots exposed on the surface, The No. shoot shows con siderable galena at this depth, with quartz and pyrite3 predominating, and is about 35 feet i'll length. The No 2 shoot is entirely of quartz and pyrites and will average about $10 ton, main ly in gold values. The No, or main shoot, from the big cropping on the surface, was struck at about 400 feet in the tunnel and drifted on for 30 feet. The ore started from a seam on the 'foot-wali and has widened to 14 feet at the face, as exposed by two cross cuts. Three sectional samples across the face averaged $24 in gold, 3.5 OF. silver, 10 per cent lead, and 16 per cent. zinc. The hanging-wall crosscut at the face is still in heavy zinc ore. Further work in driving this drift is very important as the foot-Wali DOT. tion of the vein, carrying the galena, is widening rapidly and has all the appearance of making into a good shoot of ore.
 The lower tunnel, 150 feet below No. l, has been driven about 50 feet on the vein in which there is from 1 to feet of good ore on the hanging wall. On the upper end of the claims there is a 6-inch seam of ore on the hanging-wall assaying as high as $120 ton in gold. TheTe is a good cabin and a good equipment of all necessary tools, with car and rails in the upper tunnel.

Moving Picture
 House Planned

The Hyder Theatre Company has been organized in Seattle for the purpose of building large, up-te. date moving picture house In Hyder says the Alaska Dispatch. East man and Purvis, architects, are now working on the plans and specified tions. The theatre will be 80 by 100 feet and will have a seating capacity of 700.
 MT Purvis is well known to Alas kans as the architect who planned and built che fine moving picture houses for Captain A. E. Lathrop at Anchorage and at Cordova. He specialiZes in theatre building, in which he has been engaged in New York City, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle, This has been his oc- cupation for the past thirty years. It is probable that MT. Purvis will have immediate charge of the con- struction of the theatre at Hyder.

Fighting for
 Mining Claims

Ownership of the Premier Exten- rion mining property is in dispute in the courts, Messrs. Nicholson and Beaumont, officials of the Grand Trunk, cfairnins the right to exer- else their option after the property had been sold 10 Dr. Shewan of Vancouver.
 The ground was stabed by Jack Young, W. G. Harris and Bill Irwin and an option given to Duke Harris of New Hazelton to take to Vancou- yer. He turned the option oyer to the Grand Trunk officials for short peri9d of time, and claims that they did not make their payment in the time specified, and that the property reverted to him, after which he sold 1t to Dr. Shewan.

Con Beggs Says
 Damned Lie"

Writing from Ketchikan Con Beggs says: There was an article in the Ketchikan Chronicle of Feb. 13 stating that I told the reporter of that paper that there were min efal locations being at that time staked on the snow by prospectors. l wish to state to you and the peo- pie of Hyder that it is a damned lie and that l specifically told him that 1 knew nothing of the mining con- ditions there, that had never been to the mines, and that I had done but little work in the camp although had been around Hyder for about six months.
 But did tell him that if a hun- dEed people should come there at one time they would have a hard time getting accommodations al- though there were ample accommo- dations at Stewart then. Ialso told him that at the time ! left Hyder there was a town-lot boom on but most of them were being piled and capped and held for sale.

This Bird Is
 Some Canary

Mrs. L.A.Willard has hen can. ary which is making a great suc- cess in its one ambition to populate the world with more canaries. On the 20th of January this feathered paragon matched out a brood of young ones, and three weeks tater started laying again for this reason.
 Over in Petersburg she heard that Mrs. Willard was going to bring her to Hyder, and that this is a new. unpopu1ated section. Sc when she got aboard the City of Seattle bound for Ketohikan, she laid an egg. While waiting iR the panhandle metropolis for another boat she had nothing else to do so she laid another egg. While on the Taku II between Ketchikan and Hyder she laid the third, and three more after arriving here.
 Now she is sitting on the six and wondering whether it is worth while trying to break her record next time.
