PREMIER DIVIDENDS

Word comes from the Outside that the Premier is to pay second divi- dend in April. the amount to be dis tributed being $500,000, or ten per cent on the company's capitalization. This, coming so soon after the first dividend of $400,00O, which was dis 'tributed last December, gives some idea of what the earning capabilities of the mine will be after it breaks into it's full stride It must be borne in mind that heavy expense for in Stalling equipment is still being me and that this is paid out of returns from ore and bullion shipments.

MADE EVENING OF
 IMPAIRMENT

The smoker hell by the Pioneers in their hall last Friday evening provided wholesome recreation for more than one hundred residents of Hyder, Stewart and the Premier mine and proved a most enjoyable affair. There were no dull mo- ments, the various events following each ether in rapid sequence till after midnight. There was always something doing: when someone wasn't singing song someone else was telling story or else all were watching a boxing or wrestling bout. To the credit of the pre- gram committee it may be saiss that the contestants in the athletic events were all evenly matched. and all bouts were interesting and sometimes thrilling.
 The boxing events were Billy Bunting vs Jack Scott, Archie Smith vS Sandy Connacher and A. Baynton vs Felix Seppi, while a capital wrestling exhibition was staged by Felix Seppi and George Mehlfeld.
 The solOists of the evening were Frank Bowler, G. s. Lawrence, M. Meisingseth, W. s. Orr, w. H. Wat son and Arthur Baynton, with Win Cameron acoompanist on the piano. A farcical sketch staged by H.H. Howard and Billy Orr, with the aid of pseudo ghost, a suitcase and a couple of candles, completed the down stairs part of the pro- gram, adjournment being then taken to an upperf )or where cof- fee and sandwiches r0unied out the evening and the waist lines of the participants.
 Four bonds were drawn for pay ment, and those who will be reim- bursed this time for the money they advanced to help build the hall are w. R. Tooth, Fred Dorey, Charles Knipple and W. J. Crawford.

Bearing with them the assurance that the United States Forest Ser vice would provide an approach for a dock to be built in Hyder and would also take steps for the pre- vention of further damage by Sal mon river floods, w. L. Balch and J. A. Hall returned Saturday from trip to Juneau, well satisfied with the success of their mission.
 The work to be done by the gov ernment on the dock approach will really be an extension of the road built during the past two years from it's present southern end at th baseball backstop, out to deep water, without which that portion of the road extending south from Nevada street on the Lindeborg addition is worthless as a public highway, since no traffic originates at the baseball bdckS'op.
