 FirStGames

The newly organized Stewart ball team is undoubtedly the happiest and proudest aggregation of young athletes in the north today because of the fact that they went over to Anyox and Alice Arm and cleaned up the veteran teams of both those old established camps. Sundays game at the smelter town resulted 7-5, while that played Monday in our rival silver camp finished with a score of 6-2.
 Needless to say upon their retusn they were given an ovation. Autos met them at the wharf and the cit izens of Stewart gave them an im- prOmptu banquet.
 Next Monday night e benefit ball will be held in the Stewart Ho- tel, and in view of the fact that they brought home the bacon on their first games, the attendance promises to be a record breaker.

This section will witness this summer the greatest attack upon Mother Earth's treasure storehouses by diamond drin ever seen in the north.

Making an Examination
 Of Indian

Superintendent Harry Howson and Consulting Engineer Wesley Warren of the Forty Nine mine are making an examination this week ol the Indian and other adjacent properties.
 The Indian is one of the best de- veloped properties of the Salmon river basiu and has in sight plenty of ore which in otheR camps would be considered high grade. It is no secret that several years ago Eng;- neer Hyder, after whom the town of Hyder is named, repoDted that there was twenty feet and six in- cres of $20 ore in the face of the drift, and since that time the value of the ore has doubled owing to the rise in the price of silver. That the property has not beep snapped up by one of the big interests is one of the enigmas of the camp.
