Preparing to Work
 The Big Missouri

Solution of the mystery: Where is Pat Daly?'" was solved Sunday morning by that husky pioneer himself by his arrival on the George, apparently none the worse for his many months association with the big bugs of New York. Whether the same can be said of them after their association with Pat is anoth- CT story, which doesn't matter any, way. Pat brought with him his tin flute, with which he hypnotiz- cd the miIiionaires of the metrop- 6lis with as much ease ds the Pied Piper of ancient lore persuaded Ehe pats to perforce do his bidding.
 But, joking aside, Pat had very successful session in the big town He was instrumental in interesting substantial business men in the mining game in this district. These men have organized the Portland Canal Mines" with T capitalization of $2,500,G00, incorporated in New York, and the "Daly Mines Ltd" with nominal capitalization, in- oorporated under the laws of British Columbia, The former is the hold ing company, controlling all the stock of the latter, which was or aanized as an operating company.
 T, A. Wilson. a mining engineer of wide experience, came from New York with Pat. and expects to spend several months in the district. In company with Dan Lindeborg they are leaving:for the Big Missouri wheFe MT. Wilson will make a thorough examination with view to outlining development program. His plans in the latter respect can- not, of course, be told until after he has gone over the property, but he

". B. BARTHOLF KILLED

W.B.Bartholf, aged A, died Sun day from the effects of an accident received while working at the Lucky Shot mine in the Willow creek quartz district. The accident hap pened while Mir. Bartholf was work ing his shift at the mill. In step- ping over the line shaft his left trousers leg became entangled in the shaft connection and his entire left limb was badly twisted and mutilated, and practically severed below the knee.
 Harvey Bartholf, on the same shift, saw the accident and imme- diately shut off the mill and with his ass 'ciates immediately render ed every assistance possible.
 The Lucky Shot mine, of which the deceased was part owner and manager, is located on the west side of Willow creek divide, on Craiey creek. The boys made lit ter and started in with the injured man for Fishhook Inn with the in- tention of securing an automobile to rush the injured man to Wasilla where special train had been sent by the Alaska Ensineering Commas sion to bring him to Anchorage for medica! attention. Before leaving it was necessary to cut off the ,il- jured Gmb below the knee and also to stop the flow of blood with tourniquet. When about six mics from the mine the injured man died from the shock of the accident. He was conscious up to within fifteen minutes of death and suffered ja- tense pain.
 The deceased leavs a wife, is father, B. S. Bartholf. and RaIp'. a brother, besides several other ot se relatives.-Anchorage Times.

BOOST FOR YOURSELF
 BY BOOSTING EXHIBIT

Every able-bodied man in the district is expected to dig up for the dance to be held in Pioneer Hall next Friday evening for the purpose of raising funds to help send the mineral exhibit to Chicago,
 Were it not for the mines there would be no Hyder. Every person here, no matter what his occupation. is getting his bread and butter out of the mining industry, and every- thing that helps this industry helps each individual.
 By boosting for the mining in- dustry, each person is boosting for his own welfare. Self preservation is the first law of nature, and self preservation here consists in doing everything possible fov the ppomo- tion of mining e
 The Chicago exposition offers the finest possible opportunity to adver~ tise the mineral resources of the camp, and the exhibit sent from here should be the best the district can pBoduoe. and should be proper ly displayed and intelligently ex- plaineu to the thousands who will see it.
 It takes money to accomplish this, and one of the easiest ways for everyone in the camp to help the good cause along is to hand in a five or ten spot to the dance oom- mittee. , ..-

has intimated that it will be the policy of the company to lose nc time in getting operations under way. He has a preliminary know ledge of conditions at the Big Mis- souEi through studying reports made by other engineers and pre- vious operators.
 The Big Miss ouri hes long been considered one of the most proInis- ing properties of the district, it's vast surface mineralization and known deposits of high grade ore leaving no doubt in the minds of mining men who are familiar with it. as to it's ultimately becoming the producer pf an enormous tonnage of marketable oBe. It is generally conceded that with the application of proper metallureical methods, the property will without doubt prove to be a bonanza.
 The group. which was located by Dan and Andy Lindeborg, pioneer prospectors of the Salmon basin, contains about 20 claims, and even a superficial examination of such an area is no small undertaking. Two good camps have been con- structed and a large amount of preliminary development work done which will be to the advantaae of the new operators. A considerable amount of diamond drilling has also been done, with, it is under stood, satisfactory results. The property is easy of access, being only short distance beyond the Premier, and supplies and equip ment can be taken in at any time of the yeaS.

DON'B BE A PARASITE

Paste this in your hat. II Von are living in Hyder, no matter what your occupation you are dependent entirely upon the mining business. If you sit back and let others stand all the expense of adver- tisinG this district, if you re- fuse to part with a little of the money you are making directly or indirectly out of the mining business. you are a parasite, and have no right to look loyal and progressive citizens in the face. From a moral stand point it would be perfectly le- gitlmate foD a financial and so- cial boycott to be declared against any firm or individual who adopts the policy of letting others bear the brunt of con- tributing to the general well fare,

 The government trail crew came down from Texas creek yesterday. having fin ished the work for the season, which con- sisted of building five miles of trail be- yond the bridge across Salmon river. It is the intention to eventually build through to the foot of the Salmon glacier, afford4 ing means of transportation fof claim owners of the upper Salmon basin. If this trail should be widened to a road over which automobiles could travel. it would be great attraction to tourists, since the Salmon glacier is one of the most easily reached in Alaska and af- fords attractions which other glaciers of the Territory do not possess.
