 It is stated on reliable information that the new holders of the ground will put a good sized crew to work as soon as the snow leaves the ground. Substantial explorations and development work is contemplated turing the season.

More than 300 feet Of tunnel has already beef run The ore is reported to carry gold, silver and lead. and averages ',llly $30a for the ordinary ore, ex- elusive of high grade. which, it is said. assays several hundred dollars.
 Hyder People Encouraged
 The uncovering of large new ore body of, high value in the Premier nine recently has increased the con fidence of the Hyder people in the future of the camp despite the fact that no productive mine has yet been developed on the American side. However. several likely properties have been opened up on the Ameri- can side from Awhich results are ex- pected. s&
 Other Properties Named
 B M. Stone. who is interested in Hyder property and has been on the ground for some time watching de- ivelopments, reviewing the field, said ::
 "The Fish Creek group, owned by John Hovland adjoins the Fish Creek Mining Company's property. Consid erable work has been done on this property and with further develop ment it is believed the property will rank with other paying mines of the district. Among the most promising qre the new Alaska, Alaska Premier and the Fish Creek Mining Com Nany's property. The New Alaska promises to be a banner property. Large bodies of ore exist on 1t. and of sthe same character as the ore Of the Premier The ore bodies carry silver and gold. The New Alaska has been bonded to New York interests and an active development program is planned for the season.
 Adjoining the New Alaska is the Virginia group of claims. This prop erty is located south of the. Premier, on the American side, and northwest of the New Alaska. Not only are there good showings on this property, but it also has good townsite, in fact the only ground suitable for such purposes after leaving Hyder. Arrangements are being made to have the ground plated for town site purposes.
 "The Alaska Premier Mining Com Dany. adjoining the Virginia and the New Alaska. has all the characteris- tics of the Premier mine, from which it. the Virginia group and the New Alaska are only a short distance The Alaska Premier contains ore bod fes carrying gold and silver values that have been pronounced by the successful owner of the Premier to snual the values he found when he purchased that now famous property. Seattle business men recently secured . three-fourths interest in this groun sf claims. The terms of the deal are not available, but it is reported that a substantial cash payment forms part of the transaction.
 Premier Richest Mine
 "That the Premier mine. near Fly der. Alaska. is the richest gold and silver mine known today, is thf statement of R. w. Wood, president If the Premier Gold Mining Company The striking of large new body al ore in the Premier mine has been known in Hyder for the past fev months and it has fixed faith in tn camp, for it proves that the greater thesdepth the richer the ore in value.
 "In 1918 a commercial ore body was found at the Premier mine which. though in the Salmon River basin, is also in Canada. As a result; many claims were~ staked on both sides of the boundary. The upper part of the Salmon River basin lies in Canada, but its only practical mode of access is through Alaska. Though no mines on the Alaska side have been fully developed, many claims have been staked. and on some of these. considerable work has been done during the past two years.
 Tram Is Success
