led by MT. Conway as toastmaster.
 Owing to his having got down the hill too late for the business session, Pat Daily took occasion, at the banquet to make reference to the closing down of the Big Missouri, being inclined to not accept as final the negative results of the limited amount of diamond drill ing and studies of Dr. Bancroft upon which the decision to abandon work was based. Mir. Daly made reference to the history of some great mines, in cluding our own Premier mine where engineering mistakes had been made, in support of his position and main. tained his faith in the Big Missouri ridge.

Wireless Plant Is Now Working On
 Commercial Basis

Wireless communication between Hyder and Ketchikan is now an accomplished fact, the plant in- stalled here by the Hyder Townsite and Improvement Go. sending per- fectly to the Ketchikan station and picking up messages from as far way as San Francisco. The ad- vantages accruing to the entire dis trict by the installation of this plant are not yet thoroughly realized, but they will be more fully appreciated when winter sets in. However, the operator, FL. Dale, is having plenty to do, and has had ever since con- nection with Ketchikan was first established.
 Emery H.1.Lee, he radio engi- neer who installed the plant, went to Ketchikan last oaturday on his way home to Seattle, and arranged for the station there to get in tune with the Hyder plant, The follow ing message, received Sunday eve ming, shows that the metropolis of southeastern Alaska is fully alive to the benefits of having these To- calities thus connected

  In Gas Boat

Death in one of its most terrible forms was the fate meted out to w. B.Woodworth when he was trap- ped by the flames that destroyed the launch Sea Breeze two miles off Yashi island in Chatham Straits.
 Billy was known and likeds in practically every settlement in AL aska, Song writer, musician, singer and all-round good fellow, he was unrivaled as an ~en,eFt tainer. lie had chartered the Sea Breeze, which belonged to D.C.Velie of Ketchikan, for a trip aRound the coasts with moving picture outfit, giving enter tainments at canneries. A short time ago he visited Hyder, put on two shows. and spent nearly a week renewing old acquaintences and making new friends.
 The first news of the tragedy was received by he customs house at Juneau in ,he following telegram from Captain Harrington of the gas boat LUmmi:
 Port Walter, Alaska, Aug. 25.
 Gas launch Sea Breeze of Ketchi- kan found two miles off Yashi island at 5 o'clock tonight Billy Wood- worth was burned in the boat. There was no explosion during the fire, Found one survivor, E.C.Lilly. two miles off in row boat. Had bread and canned food, also guitar, suit case, pistol and leather grip.
 Concerning Lilly, (knowh here as "Monk") later report published in the Ketchikan Chronicle states that he is being detained by the authos- ities and that he admitted to them that he had plenty of time to make his own escape and might have saved Billy. He was here with Billy and made hit with his gui- tar playing and Southern songs.

Mine Institute
 Holds Session

of mining met in Stewart tuesday and Wednesday at a session of the north coast divis- ion of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Tues day afternoon a business session was held in the Ocean View Cabaret, followed by a banquet It the Baldwin Hotel Grill in the evening. The visitors spent Wednesday visiting various points of interest. though, on account of the bad condition of the roads the proposed visit to the Premier mine in a body was abandoned. Both the business session and the banquet were presided over by E.J. Conway, chairman the north coast diviss ion who radiated good cheer and witticism.
 In an optimistic address opening the business session, E E. Campbell. vice president of the institute, alluded to the progress the mining industry is making it the northwest and declared that men most needed were practical miners and metallurgists who could mine for a dollar when there was but Sl. p in the ore. He reviewed some of the work being done at Anyox and said they were mining ore there at lower cost per ton than any mine in the Dom- ,rion. The concentration work there Ge characterized as unique.
 Peter E. Peterson, the concentration wizard of the Anyox plant read paper on the work he has accomplished and described his methods which the com pa have adopted in its enlarged plans He gave the assurance that the method was adaptible to the treatment of the ores of Alice Arm and Stewart districts and said that concentration methods would ultimately be used here. An interesting discussion followed MT. Peterson.
 Transportation costs and other things affecting the mining industry in this district were referred to in a spirited address by VIC. Ross.
 Milestones in the mining industry in the northwest, such as the Granby op- erations at Anyox, the Surf Inlet mine and the Premier mine, were the sub feet of q few words from A. (. Garde who predicted that the solution of the handling of the silver lead zinc ores of this district was but matter of time.

AS q matter of fact there are
really few live churches in the
cities but what are actually ad-

papers. The Post-Dispatch is
respectfully throwing out this
suggestion, and these facts, to
our local and Richmond county
churches.
According to the available
census the Protestant churches
lof the United States can seat
100000 people. The Protest
ant church membership is only
%, 100000. Not more than so
per cent, OF 100000, of these
attend church regularly, and this
is about % per cent of the seat
ing capacity. Can you imagine
a business concern attempting
to operate on 20 per cent of its
capacity, allowing II per cent of
it's capacity to lie dormant? The
least one might expect would be
for the business concern to ex-
ert a special effort in advertis-
ing its ability to take on 72 per
cent more business than it had.
The churches do not equally
share in this deficiency, neither
is mere seating capacity the
measure of a church's power
and influence. The Bible, it's
message and service are the
great staples which the church
must always advertise. Then

For the church there is an
equal variety of articles to be
advertised. Give it to them, one

the big, important thing that the
church is doing this week? Do
the people know all they should
