Camp
 Bear Killed

Indignation runs rampant at the government road camp three miles up the Salmon valley road, because of the killing of a little black bear that had become a pet although never in captivity. Some time ago a mother bear brought her two cubs to the camp to get them acquaint- ed with civilization and incident ally to beg the cook, Billy Black, for some table scraps. Nearly every morning thereafter the three put in an appearance, and a week or so ago a two-year-old came with them. Within two days the latest arrival would eat out of the hand of any one who would feed her, and num- bers of townspeople have gone out to play with her and take photos. Monday she helped the bull-cook do his wishing, pr ing her paws in the tuo and stirring the cloths around.
 But now the little bear is dead slain by one of the crew who wish ed to show the efficiency of a rifle in the camp. The body lay where it fell until ordered buried by the foreman, and foT hours the two cubs stayed beside it, mourning and crying, and trying to bring her back to wakefulness again.
 The use of firearms around the camp has now been foEbidden, but

As to shipping facilities, the Fish creek trail turns off fro I the Salmon val ley road five miles from Hyder ard but five miles of road remain to be constructed to connect the Titan by wagon road with salt water.
 In contradiction to certain geolos. ical reports made on some port ons of the Salmon mineral zone, s. P. says that the dykes of the Fish creek belt are not old dykes this week and new dykes next week.

 The Titan has been owned for number of years by S.P. and John FitzgeTald who have done consid- erable surface prospecting upon it, exposing the main lead fo! a dis tance of 1000 feet by means of open cuts. and tracing it for a total dis tance of 5000 feet. This lead runs practically east and west, and is a contact vein, with greensboro on the north and quartz-porphyry oh the south. The work done shows that it will average from ten to twelve feet in width. and assays show en- couraging values, One average taken across the vein gives "A oun- ces in silver and 1,95 peF cent cop per, another gave 7.5 ounces in sil- yer, 1910 per cent lead and 10. 10 per cent zinc. All the assays give an invariable return of $4 in gold. There are nine claims in the group.

Mrs. Caroline Stoner, one of the best known and most highly es- toemed pioneer women in all Alas ka, died at an early hour Saturday morning, Sept. Il, at her home on Premier avenue, the cause of death being heart failure. She had been ailing since early summer and her death was not wholly unexpected. but nevertheless the event caused a distinct shock to the community, as the day previous she had ap- peared to be in her usual state of health, doing her housework and attending to her flock of chickens
 Mrs. Stoner was bora about 1874 on farm near Newcastle. Pennsyl- vania. She married early, and was the mother of two sons, who now reside in Newcastle. Her husband died in Portland about three years ago She leaves two brothers, one in Pennsylvania and one in Port land, and three sisters, one in Penn sylvania, one in Idaho and one in North Yakima. The last, Mrs. Ly- ons, spent a month or more with Mrs. Stoner when she was first talk en ill last summer.
 Just prior to the Klondike rush, Mrs. Stoner came west, landing in Skagway in the winter of 1897-98, going to Circle in '98 and to Daw- son in '99 From Dawson she went to Council, thence to Nome, and to Fairbanks in 1903. From Fair banks she went to Delta where she ran q road house until it was burn- efin 1910. She then went to Tol- oVana and from there returned to Fairbanks where she joined the women's auxiliary of the Pioneers of Alaska in 1916. Leaving Fair banks, she lived for a time in Ruby and Iditarod, and in 1918 went to Seattle. her first trip Outside in 21 years. In 1919 she came ta Hyder and opened a restaurant on Main street which she conducted while her health remained good.
 Funeral services were held Tues day afternoon at heV home under the auspices of the Pioneers, inter-

Silver Tip
 Su.sDends

Because of the late start on the development of the Silver Tip the management have deemed it the wise course to close for the winter rather than to unGertake the ea- tremely expensive work of bu.!d. ing winter camps and getting in supplies at this time of tho year. Managing Engineer P .W.Racey has taken practically the entire crew to Alice Arm and will open up the Moose property.
 Eighteen men were employed at the Silver Tip and the work done has exposed some stTingers of na- tive silver which, however, do not represent the true value of the prop erty which lies in the large ore bodies. Results have been in every way satisfactory and work will be resumed in the early spring.
