PROTECTION OF
 TOWN AGAINST
 FLOODS BEGINS

At a public meeting held last Monday night in Pioneer hall plans were laid for protecting the river bank to prevent further damage to the town from floods. CIV. Cheat ham and L. F. Vaile, of the Bureau of Public Roads, and T. H. Evans, local road foreman, were present, and the first named outlined the governments position in regard to the project, which is that of build ing two wing dams, approximately 400 and 500 feet in length, which will provide protection from the rock cut to the old sawmill site, and the citizens are to provide the nec- eSsary protection below that point.
 Jas. s. Pitcher, Lee Balch and Ed Snider were elected as a com mittee to take charge of the work and raise funds, and are already on the job, with sufficient money in the bank for present requirements.

GREAT SHOWING
 ACROSS TIE DIVIDE
 HAS BEEN BONDED

c, D. B. Turner, mining engineer Os New York City and Victoria, has taken an option and bond upon tiIe Del Norte and Del Norte Exten- s.Jn groups, comprising twelve ad- joining claims, situated on Porter creek, a tributary of White river, which heads across the range from the head of Marmot river and emp ties into Naas river. The property is owned by Homer Ficklin, the or iginal locator of the property, and Mir. and Mrs. J. K. Green of Hyder.
 MT Turner, who represents large financial interests in New York, ar- rived on the Prince Rupert Sunday and left yesterday for the Indian mine with R. L. Clothier. the sup. erintendent. Mir. Turner's princi. pals acquired control of the Indian last winter and the property has been under development since the latter part oi March. Mfr. Ficklin leaves tomorrow for the Del Norte to learn conditions as to the possi- bilities of taking horses in to the property, and after his return MH. Turner will go in and make thor Udgh examination.
 The Del Norte has been known for years to carry one of the best surface showings of ore in this part of the country. An immense min eralizeu body is easily traced from the creek to near the summit of the mountain, a distance of 4,500 feet. This zone is split lateraliy by a greensboro dyke, apparently mak- ing two iodes, though they hre un- doubtedly closely related. The width of the minsral-bearing zone is at least 200 feet, with the con- tacts on both walls clearly defined, the formation on the west being the Bear river formation, described by Mcconnell, and on the east the Naas river arsillites. The strike of the zone is roughly northwest and southeast, with an apparent dip to the east.
 MT. Ficklin has secured numer- ous assays from the property, "A samples yielding an average value of S40.G0 in gold and silver. These samples were from a portion of the lode carrying antimonial silver and gold. In addition, he has sampled across 50 feet showing little min eralization except fine-grained iron pyritcs, and obtained from SIP to SIS in gold. This appears to be a lar ,e cyaniding proposition.
 The entry Of Mir. Turner and as- ,ciates into this section will mean much for the exploitation of other properties and the exter sion of the mineral area now considered avail able for operators.

HYDER HIGH-GRADES
 WIN SECOND CAME
 OFF STEWART STARS

Hyder turned the tables on Stew art Sunday and took ample revenge for their defeat of the 24th by wal loping the Canucks to the tune of 13 to 8. The trick was turned on the home grounds in ideal baseball weather, Old Sol making a regular feller out of himself and shooting down rays that would fry an egg on a rock-maybe two eggs. The play was much snappier than the score implies, the visitors scrappine all the way and gathering in half, of their runs in the last half of the 7th, which was as far as the game went. Hyder piled up lead of 4 in the firstframe and blanked Stew art, which was a peach of a lead for seven-inning game.
 A feature of the game was the discouraging (to tbem) regularity with which Bill Raines, the Hydef catcher, begged out the Stewart runners at End. Following the time-honored custom of bush-leag- uers to run from 1st on the first pitched ball, they simply found Ray Carol waiting at End to tap them enthusiastically with the ball while His Umps politely waved toward the bench. Many tried this steal, but none got away with it.
 ONeiIl for Hyder and Smitherin- gale for Stewart both pitched classy ball for the start of the season, but the former had the stronger SUD- port. Big Hearted Eddie Ham, bleton umpired the home plate and Hew To The Line Joe Green bossed the field TheIine-up was as fol-
