seemed TO actually enjoy his embar-

1t was the same In the reading les

thought. -

their wise way to hear further before
they raised any objections. Yes"
Fred continued. II will get much AS

Coke means free

Less ash to carry

The secret of success
full coke burning is:
Always keep your
frebot filled as full
as spossible and keep
it burning sloWly.
A big body Of fuel un-
der little draft is much
cheaper than a small
fire with strong draft.
AT night or in mild

| Coke burns to a pow
der with very little
waste and does not
need so much poking

LET TIE OLD FLAG FLl

Somewhere in tsydee or Stew. art, an American flag is cached away which is needed to fly over the Hyder schOolheuse The flag belongs to Dan Lindebore, and was ofEeEsd to the school board, but when he went to get 1t, it wasn't home. Then he remem- bered that he had loaned it to some nA and hfs. Backus, secre- tary of the school board, went on it's trail The chase led her all over Hyder and Stewart, and she eventually found that it had passed through so many hands that ali race of it was lost. The flag is about Sx g feet in size and can be distinguished from other flags by it's having a patch in the corner containing the stars. Look your flag collection over, and if you find this one. let the school have it.

Writing from Zion City. Ill.,, Mir. Caldwell says
 i must congratulate you on your splendid ore exhibit from the mines. The Alaska exhibit was the central and best exhibit at the mining con. eress. and the Hyder exhibit was about the best. Senator Roman was attending closely to the exhibit. l also must commend yoNr mining organization in selecting so able a man to represent you. He was able to give all information about everyone.

COL. PECK PAYS 1 VISIT

Col Cy. Peck, of Prince Rupert, membes of the dominion paflia- Tiaent. who is running on an inde- penuent ticket for reelection, ar- rived Sunday night on the Pacheua accompanied by George Tire and George Frizzell of Rupert, and Mon day night held a meeting in Stew art, which is pronounced the best and most enthusiastic political gathering ever witnessed in the town. The meeting was followed by a feed and dance and all three events were thoroughly enjoyed by a number of Hyder residents.
 Monday afternoon the three big fellows" visited Hyder, and renewed acqOaintances with a number of old friends. Col, Peck said at that time that he had wired Ottawa ia an eff ost to secure a mail contract for Captain Swanson of the Pachena, to alternate with the service of the Grand Trunk boat, thus giving Stewart mail once each week. He also spoke frankly about the neces. sity for harbor improvements and contgol of Bear river te prevent further damage from floods,
 Stewart appears to be solidly be- hind the Col. ia his political aspira. tions, and that suits Hyder, as the interests of the two towns. though on opposite sides of the boundary line, are inseparable.

STRIKES FINE ORE Oh THE
 PAY ORE GROUP

Wm. Murphy came down Thurs- day night from the Pay Ore group where he has been wefkins for two months. bringing some fine speci- mems of ore frosm two of the leads he has been developing The Pay Ore is situated northwest from the Indian group, and three leads have been found upon it. Two of these are parallel. about 700 feet apart, and strike roughly northwest and southeast. The third is a cross vein and strikes almost due north and south. Work on all three con sists chiefly of open cuts and sur face stripping. though on one of the parallel veins a tunnel is 28 feet under ground and shows, on
 
 the face, thSee feet of solid steel galena and iron pyrites. such as the specimens Mir. Mutphy brought to camp. and which are now on dis play in the Hotel Hyder mineral exhibit. 1t was in this tunnel that he did the majer portion of his de velopment this season.
 The cross vein differs in charac- ter from the other two in that it carries considerable amount of chalcopyFite as well as galena. The vein,has been exposed on the sur face for distance of 300 feet by a series of open cuts and ranges from live to twelve feet in width.
 Given transportation and work Ing fund, there Is hardly room for doubt that the Pay Ore could be developed into a very productive anime in a short time,

BIC BUILDING

A moving stunt of more than or dinary magnitude has been success- fully enemeered by W. [. Balch and his crew of able assistants, in bringing the Ocean View Cabarea building from Stewart to Hyder, B.C.
 The bailding. which was origin ally built in 1910 for warehouse, was transformed into an attractive semi-hotel in the spring of 1920 by Tom Taylor of Vancouver, and op- erated for time as cabaret and dance hali. This fall it was pur. chased by ". R Tooth, proprietor of Tooth's Smoke Shop in Stewart, who had prepared a fine founda. tiCn on a number of lots in the new

 The tide was not sufficiently high to permit the scow to take the building exactly where wanted. SO it has been jaeked up again above the scow stanchions and will be skidded across to it's proper place.
 There are eight rooms on the second floor and ls is MS. Tooth's intention to add another storey and convert the building into a modern hotel, He has widened the road 30 feet in front of his lots by builds ing a plank platform,
