BIG COMPANY TAKES CONTROL
 OF FISH CREEK PROPERTIES

A deal of the most important
 character with respect to min.
 ing development on the Amer.
 ican side of the international
 boundary line was concluded
 March l, when control of the
 very extensive holdings ot
 the American Mining and Mill ing Company in this district
 was taken over by the Brit ish-American Holding and De-
 velopment Company, accord
 ing to Outside advices received during the past week. The properties involved include the Fish Creek group, situated about half way between Hyder and the Premier, as we'll as other valuable holdings in the Salmon River valley on the American section of the Port land Canal mineral belt. The Fish Creek properties are cen sidered among the most inn portant in the district. Several claims of the group contain large and we'll defined bodies of ore carrying high values in gold and silver. A large amount of development work has been done, which has den- onstrated beyond doubt that the ore bodies are of contin- uous character and develop increasing values with depth. William Tonkin, than whom there is no better known min ing man in the Portland Canal district, of which he is one ot the pioneer operators, has been the guiding spirit in the development of the Fish Creek ground, on which he has ex- pended large amount of mon-
Hyder weekly miner., 1924-03-17

Recent reports from the South indicate that the recent strike
 on the Dunwell has attracted marked attention in all of the larger coast centers and has vastly stimulated interest in the whole Portland Canal dis trict. As an example of the effects, it is stated on reliable authority that money for local development is freer and more easily obtainable than at any time in the history of the camp. The assertion is we'll substan- tiated by the large amount of bonding occurring in recent weeks; also by the readiness of the outside public to invest. in the stocks of local mining companies of good standing. An outstanding example of the latter inclination is provided by the recent successful float aticn of the Independence Gold Mining Company, a new ly organized corporation and osle comparatively unknown
 to the outside public, although we'll known locally. The first issue of the stock of this comp any, 50,000 shares, was placed on the market in Victoria at

ley during the past two years
 in pursuance of the develop
 ment program of the American
 Mining and Milling Company,
 of which he was the adminis-
 trative head.
 According to the information
 at hand, the British-American
 Holding and Development Cor
 poration has the backing of a
 strong Eastern financial group, which includes a number of
 business organizations of high financial standing. No inform Iation has been received regard ling the plans of the new con- trolling organization. It is as- IsImed, however, that the cor |poration will proceed with de- velopment work on a much greater scale than heretofore.
 The British-American Hold ing and Development Corpor- ation is also reported to have acquired other valuable prop critics in this district but noth- ing definite could be learned regarding their extent Or To- cation up to the present. Inas- much as the future develop ment of the districts mineral resources is largely depend ent on large and we'll finan- ced organizations such as the British-American corporation is said to be, the entry of the company into the American mineral belt vii be watched with keen interest, as it holds forth promise of 8 new era of large scale development oper- ions by much stronger comp anies than have heretofore operated in the local field.

SUTHERLAND TO FIGHT REAPPORTIONMENT OF REPRESENTATION IN
 LOWER HOUSE

Delegate Sutherland will op- pose both territorial division and reapportionment of rep sentation in the Territorial Legislature, according to a dec laration made by the delegate to R. E. Robertson, special en- voy sent from Juneau to Wash ington, D. c. by the Juneau City Council for the purpose of laying the division proposal before Congress and to secure if possible an reapportionment of the divisional representation in the Legislature based on population rather than arbi- trary rule of Congress. Ac- cording to a telegram from MT. Robertson following his ar1.iv- al in the capital, the Delegate informed him that he would assist in all matters except divison of the Territory and a reapportionment of represent ation. The delegate is openly against separating South Alas ka from the remainder of the Territory, claiming that such action is desired by the fish packers. Mir. Sutherland said he favors statehood for Alaska but will not work for it at this time, and agreed with MT. Robertson it would be imposs- ible to achieve it at the present time. or for several years to come.
 Mir. Robertson was assured by Chairman Curry, of the House Committee on Territories that he favors partial reapportion- ment of legislative representa- ion but is opposed to the divis- ion proposal. He said Mir. Rob- erSson would probablN be heard by the committee within 30 days on the apportionment proposal

BURGLAR ROBS MINERS HOTEL
 CLAIMED LOOT TOTALS $3,OOO.

A burglary invol, Ing an al- legged loss of money, jewelry and other valuables aggregat- ing $8,0O0 in value occurred Monday evening at the Miners Hotel, on lower Main Street, according to allegations made to Deputy United States Mar shal T. w. Mcdonald by Mrs. Grace Ryan, proprietress.
 Included among the loot ob- tained by the enterprising yegg man was $405 in cash; four watches, one of which, a lad ies wrist watch with solid plat mum case, a diamond ring, val ued at $60, a pair of diamond earrings valued at $100, a pearl sunburst, valued at $50, a mink cape containing IA skins, a gold mesh bag, a gold lavelier and 300 shares of stock in the Dunwell mine, on which valuation of $i,5G0 was placed by the owner. The burg lar also displayed a marked penchant for ladies wear, ap- propriating, ib addition to the iewdQry, lseven ladies' silk waists, one night gown and a bolt of silk dress fabric. The thief also took possession of a pawn ticket which Mrs. Ryan said had cost her $500 and covered goods and valuables in pawn worth double that sum.

DunweI Strike Stimulates Interest
 In Portland Canal Development

TIE cents per share, and was
 sold within a few days. A sec
 ond issue of 100000 shares was
 equally successful at 10 cents per share and was disposed of
 in Victoria, Vancouver and Seattle within a week. A third
 block of 100000 was then ls- sued at 20 cents and this too
 was taken up within a few days with a large oversub- scription to the issue attesting the eagerness of the investors to get in on the ground floor.
 A considerable portion of the success achieved may be attrib- uted to the reputation for re- liability established by Messrs s. P. and John Fitzgerald, or- ganizers of the corporation, but the larger measure of respon- sibility for the readiness with which the initial issues were snapped up rests upon an in- creased faith in the district and an enlarged understand ing of it's development pos abilities, most of which is un- doubtedly due to tile recent developments on the Dunwell, the Porter Idaho group, Indian and other properties.

G., was ar- rested last week in Hyder on a macqueraux charge, to which he entered a plea of guilty in the Commissioners court We'd nesday and was sentenced to serve thirty days in the fed eral jail by Commissioner Chas.

1 According to Mrs. Ryan's statement, the burglary oc- cured about l or 2 a. m. Tues day morning while she was ab- sent from the hotel on a trip to the Stewart dock to meet the liner Cardena. The money and other valuables were in her room in the rear of the building, the money being con- cealed in a stocking in her trunk, which was not locked.
 Mrs. Ryan stated that the rob- Der must have gained entrance through rear window, as the doors were locked when she left. She does not know wheth- CT the window catch was fast ened or not. When inspected by Deputy Mcdonald shortly after Mrs. Ryan discovered her loss, the window catch was open and neither the catch or tine window frame showed signs of having been forced. Close investigation also failed to reveal other signs of the burglars visit. So far as Mrs. Ryan could recall, her effects had apparently not been dis turbed during her absence, in- .dicating that whoever commit ted the burglary was more or less familiar with the apart ment and the habits of the oc- cupant.

PREMIER LOSES SUIT FOR
 ORE LOSS DAMAGES

Following a five day trial in Vancouver, the suit of the Pre- mier Gold Mining Company against the Coastwise Steam ship and Barge Go. Ltd. for damages in the sum of $17,600 for the loss of a barge-load of ore last year, was dismissed, according to Vancouver pap CTS of recent date. In his decis- ion the court held that the testimony failed to sustain the mining company's contention that the barge used in trans porting the ore from the Stew art dock to Anyox was not in Ia seaworthy condition. The decision in effect attributed the loss of the barge to perils of the sea and generates the towing concern from re- sponsibility therefor.
 In a letter to Stroller's Week. ly, Harry Taggart, the young man who lost his evesiglI from a self-inflicteG .vlund when overtaken wlth remorse for his misdeeds committed while crazed with moonshine and who was sent to the penitentiary at McNeil's Is- land about two months ago, states that he was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital in Ta- coma, where an operation. was performed and that he is getting along nicely and has strong hope of recovering his sight. He asked to be re- membeted to the people of Juneau who interested them selves in his behalf.

FORMER JUNEAU MAN
 FOUND DEAD IN CABIN

l.. A. LeBeau, aged 62,, for mer Juneau business man and for the past several years a res ident of Hoonah, was recently found dead in his cabin at that place. His demise is said to have been due to heart trouble.
 The Juneau Empire says the body was found by a man whom Le Beau had hired to help him on boat. Apparent ly he had arisen as usual and started to build a fire in the stove, some partially burned kindling being found in it. The body was still warm when found and death had appar- ently overtaken him quickly, as there was no sign of a strug- gle.. He is survived by a widow who resides in Seattle at pres ent but formerly lived at Jun eau with her husband.
 The bill recently introduced in the lower branch of Con- gress by delegate Sutherland, providing for the election of the governor and Secretary of the Territory, also designates that the salary of both offic- ials shall be paid by the Ter ritory, instead of by the feder- al government, as at present.
 The bill fixes the salary of the Governor at $7,0OO, while the Secretary of the Territory is to draw down a stipend of $5, ,000 per annum, also pay able out of the Territorial treasury.

'>VRSANGELL MAN MAKES
 VALUABLE INVENTION

4 new device which is a
 wonderful improvement in
 "ower trolling gurdy and which will be a boon to fish ermen, has been invented by Steven A. Shepard of Wrang- ell.
 With the aid of this new Iiine hauling device the fish ing lines are readily drawn up by power so that it re- quires no effort on the part of the fisherman to haul ill
 his lines.
 One of these machines is in acturl operation on Mir. Shep- ards gasboat and the namer- ous fishermen who have seen it in operation are very enthu-
 siastic over the machine and
 pronounce it wonderful inn
 provement in power gurdy.
 MT. Shepard states that the
 Wrangell Machine, Shop will become financially interested in his invention and already .an arrangement has been en- tered whereby the machines will be manufactured by, the
 Wrangell Machine Shop.
 In his application for 8 pat ient, MT. Shepard states that
 his invention relates to power means for drawing up the
 fishing lines of a boat, the ob- I.iect being to provide means for connecting a drum. to which the line is attached to a driven shaft SO that the rum will be rotated to wind the line.-Wrangell Sentinel.

SKAGWAY MAN
 FOUND UNDER
 TRAIN, DEAD

Ed. Hestness, a brakeman en- |ployed on the White Pass and Yukon Railway, was the vic- tim of a fatal accident occurring in the vicinity of Bennett on March 1, according to special telegram to the Juneau En- |pire. Hestness was found dead under his train, apparently hay ling fallen from the top of a car. The snow being very deep and piled high along the tracks it is supposed that he had no show to save himself from go- ing under the train following |the fall. He leaves a wife and five children and is also sur vived by a brother who lives in Petersburg.
 A big dam, designed to- im- pound water for the purpose of lengthening the season of wat CT travel on the Yukon river, is under construction by the White Pass and Yukon Rail- way Company at a point on the big river seven miles below Marsh Lake. The dam will hold in storage a large volume of water which will be releas- ed through gates during per iods of low water, particularly during the early spring. It is expected that the system will enable navigation on the river as early as May 1. The dam will be 364 feet in height and is expected to hold 9 feet of water in Marsh Lake, 6 feet in Lake Tagish and 5 feet or more in Lake Bennett. A crew of 50 men was employed on the con- struction during last summer and until late in the fall.

The 75 horsepower Deisel engine and compressor recent arriving from Seattle for the Riverside mine is now being in7 stalled on that property and will be followed by other mine machinery and appliances, in- cluding milling equipment, before the snow goes, accord ing to present contemplations |of the owners. Those acquaint- ed with the property say there is no doubt that the mine will be on the shipping list before the summer is we'll under way, the developmnt work of the winter having disclosed ample ore reserves carryina good milling values. The maii work |ings now include over three thousand feet of drifts and cross cuts, in addition to shafts and other underground work |ings necessary to blocking out the several extensive ore bod iies.
 A crew of men is at present engaged in preparing a site for the power house, the work ne- cessitating considerable blast ing owing to the rocky situat- ion. The new machinery was freighted to the mine by Hol- ger Johnson during the past week.
 Seven complete Liberty air plane engines are now enroute to the several Alaska points at which the army fliers engaged in the 'round-the-world flight will stop on their journey to the Orient. In addition to the engines, large quantities of oil, gasoline, tools and replacement parts are to be landed in the Territory to meet possible emergencies. Three of the en- zines are to be landed at Sitka, :, one at Chignik, and one at Dutch Harbor.

MOTHEROF
CHAPLIN
Famous Comedian Can Get No
More Extension of Time for
Her-Treatment Here


On the heels of Charlie Chaplin's
romantic marriage to pretty Lita
Grey came the development today
that he is to be separated from his
aged mother, who has been an in.
valid for many years.
Within the next months the ia.
nous motion picture comedian and
Mrs. Hannah Chaplin bid each other
farewell, probably never again to
see each other in this country.
It was learned at the Department
OF Labor today that Mrs. Chaplin
must leave the United States on or
before next March "a.
Mrs. Chaplin was admitted to this
country from England in March of
1921, under bond for medical treat.
ment, and is now in Los Angeles.
At the time she was adjudged in.
eligible for citizenship and Chaplin,
who had become wealthy since he
left London as a boy, was deter.
mined to give his mother every ad.
vantage known to medical science.
Since her arrival, Mrs. Chaplin has
been under the care of eminent spe.
ciaIists and successive extensions OF
her original leave were granted.
The final extension was granted
last March to run for q year, SO
that physicians might conclude their
work.
There is no alternative it is under
stood, as under the new immigration
law aliens ineligible to citizenship
are not permitted in this country.
