advertising the undeveloped resources. Larger and more important developments are now appearing. The district is no longer an area of pros pect holes. Paying mines are being opened up; new mills are being constructed. and the mining industry is grow ing at steadily increasing pace. Inasmuch as the district is greatly dependent on out side capital for further devel- opment of it's resources, the progress now being achieved should be given the widest publicity possible, in order that it's possibilities as a field for investment may become known to the world. It is perhaps
 
 unnecessary to suggest that a newspaper is the only medium through which this result may be effectively achieved. Mon ey spent in supporting the loc- al newspaper is therefore a good investment that will ul- timately yield a splendid re- turn by attracting to the com munity those who will invest in it's resources and increase it's industries, with resultant increases of prosperity for all.

ing, but it cannot be said to provide a logical reason for condemning either the claim itself or the properties sur rounding it. It simply failed to |substantiate the theories of those in charge of operations. One trifling hole in the ground does not always prove a mine by any means.
 Assuming the worst view of it, the fact remains that it is beyond reason to think that every mineral outcrop, will de- velop into a mine. No matter how promising it may appear at the surface, there is always a chance that a ledge will be- come 8 disappointment when subjected to the test of steel and powder.
 Countless abandoned pros |pect holes in every mineral region provide mute evidence that only small percentage of the lodges discovered and ex- plotted develop, into workable propositions.
 Failure must occur Or mines would be developed at a rate to glut the world with min erals in a few years.

SERVICE FOR RYDER
(The Alaska Weekly)

Something should be done to give IJyder a mail service worthy of the name. Al the present time mail tor Hyder goes by way of Ketchikan and thence by gas-boat leav- ing each Wednesday night to Hyder. Mail arriving after Wednesday lies in Ketchikan for a week. Here we have a case of mining community where daily developments of importance are taking place, forty-eight hours from Seattle, and receiving Seattle mail in an average of ten days after date of, mailing.
 The Canadian National Rail- ways have a ship leaving Van |couver for Stewart and Hyder every Wednesday night and the Union Steamship Company has a boat out of Vancouver for these points every Friday morning. Mail should be handled over the c. P. R. to Vancouver and from there to Hyder, instead of by way of Ketchikan.
 Nothing is more important to a district in the midst of intensive development than means of rapid intercommuni- cation with the outside from whence financing, supplies, and publicity must come and every effort should be made to give the Portland Canal section a more satisfactory mail service.

The Herald is gratified to find a considerable increase of interest on the part of the public in Hyder's newest pub lication. Considerably more support is being given to the present publication than was accorded its immediate pre- decessor, the Hyder Weekly Miner. Not only has there been an increase of subscript- ions, but the advertisers are showing disposition to be more liberal than in the past. Inasmuch as advertising is the very life blood of a newspaper 1t is indeed encouraging to receive the additional support extended in that manner.
 It should not be forgotten, however, that the paper must acquire considerable more SUD- port before the plethora of its accumulated wealth will enable the editor to eat three squares a day regularly.
 Hyder needs a newspaper. The camp has now reached a stage of development where publicity counts. The time has passed when the principal office of the newspaper was

Despite the recent unsatis- factory turn of events in con- nection with certain properties from which much was ex- pected, reports from the Texas Creek section indicate growing appreciation of the possibilities of that remarkably mineraliz- ed area as development work progresses.
 Two new and promising finds have been made during the past few days, while work on several properties has reveal ed most satisfying assurances of the permenancy of the ore bodies contained. Although but little time for prospecting re- mains, 1t is not improbable that equally encouraging results may be obtained on other prop critics before the close of the open season.
 The failure of the recent op- erations on one of the Ibex claims and the nasty with drawal of the operators after failing to find the ledge just where it was expected to be, has proved nothing at all re- garding either the claim or the district in which it lies.
 The properties involved in the peculiar denouement are in no way considered less valuable as potential producers than be- fore they failed to measure up to expert theories, which, how ever applicable to other min eral areas, have more than once been proved to be erro- neous when applied to the To- cal field, where geological conditions are universally con- ceded to be unlike those of any other known mineral region.
 Dame Nature has ways that may safely be included in that list of things of which old Solo, mon said 'No man knoweth" and not even the greatest ex- perts can tell what vagaries may develop in her manifest ationa.
 The famous Premier itself, with a record as a dividend payer almost beyond compare. was condemned by the experts more than once before it enter ed upon it's present spectacular career. And all because it fail ed to measure up to expert views of what should be.
 The failure of the Ibex claim to measure up to expectations may be somewhat disappoint-

Harry Howard, of the Midg- ct Emporium, was discussing the use of the word "odium" with Hubert Thomas, his bus mess associate. Loren Jamieson who officiates as extra clerk in the establishment, entered the store just then and hearing one of the partners repeat the word, without catching the drift of the conversation, he hastened to display his know ledge of the stock by suddenly exclaiming: "Odium! Why, we have some of that here. Seems to me I've seen it some- here."

Just For Fun

One rainy day last week pass ersby on International Avenue were puzzled to see a motley array of pots, pans, teakettles, coffee pots, pails and tin cans distributed along the roadway in the vicinity of the Midget Emporium building.
 Guarding the variegaked as- sortment of hardware with watchful eye was little "Bust- CT" Scott.
 Someone asked:
 What are you doing with all those pots and cans, Bust err"
 "Catchin' rain," Buster grave ly replied. But what are you catching it for?" inquired the mystified onlooker.
 Buster turned solemn eye on his interlocutor as he said: Well, you see, if I can catch all the rain it can't rain any more."

Back in the good old days before Alaska adopted the bone dry law, two inebriated individuals were leaning on the bar in one of the early day placer camps arguing in friend ly manner over the ownership of dog which both of them claimed. At length one of them apparently realizing the fu- tility of further argument,said: "Now look-a-here, (hic) Bill; tain't no use us argyfin' about that dawg. We don't neither of us get nowhar. I'll, (hic) make |ye a proposition. Which ever one of us can tell (hic) the big gest lie gets that dawg-see?
 The other agreed and the pair retired to chairs near the glowing stove to prepare for the contest, while the crowd of chair warmers gathered a. round to act as judges.
 Both sat for some time cogi- tating deeply, while the gang egged them on with numerous suggestions.
 While the contestants were still cudgeling their brains for a start, the door opened and a recently arrived missionary known locally as "the Preach err, entered. Seeing the crowd around the stove, he inquired of the bartender, what the ex- citement was about. When told that a lying contest was on he became highly indig- nant. Assuming his most pious aspect he descended upon the unsuspecting contestants and opened up the vials of his wrath.
 The crowd fell silent but neither one of the contestants appeared to pay the slightest attention to his tirade until the Preacher, with a dramatic wave of his hand, declared !; You had ought to be asham- ed! Two grown men deliber- ately telling lies! Why, l never told a lie in my lifep
 Then one of the contestants slowly raised his eyes and with a jerk of his thumb in the Preachers direction, said to the other one:
 Say, Bill, (hic) give him the dawg."

 "How do you mean" the druggist asked, wholesale or retail"?
 The attorney hesitated a sec Iond before he replied, Well, wholesale for instance.
 Oh, about $7,O0O," the drug gist said.
 "And how much do you fig ure it is worth retail doctor"?
 The druggist scratched his chin reflectively for a moment before gravely replying;
 "Well, somewhere close to $40,0OO."
 And even the Court smiled.

umph in the primaries of Illinois, Ne
braska, and Michigan has been to slim
ulate his supporters, but mostly to
stiffen him in his own determination
to assert a leadership over his own
party. His opportunities are near at
hand. The soldier bonus bill will
come before the Senate next week. The
Republicans probably will offer the
same measure es passed the House
an endowment insurance bill-while
the Democrats under Senator Sim
mons will propose an amendment max
ing it a simple matter to convert the
insurance certificates into ready case.
Under the latter plan the cost will be
higher. Mr.. Coolidge has not given
anyone the intimation that he has
changed the attitude expressed in his
first address to Congress when he
stated emphatically he did not favor
the granting of bonus. Wheher the
bill can be made acceptable to him
with amendments such as the Demo-
Gratis are planning to add by means of
combination with insurgent Rcpub-
licans is doubtful. The chances of a
presidential veto would appear to be
growing stronger.
May Sidetrack Tax Bill.
Tax legislation will have the right
of-way in the Senate, but at almost any
time a motion to put the bonus bill
ahead may be adopted, chiefly because
the present tax plan does not include
in it any provision for paying the
bonus and Mr.. Coolidge might have the
same excuse that Mr.. Harding did
that he would not sign a bill for
which payment had not been arranged.
1t would not be surprising if the
Democrats succeeded in lacking the
whole bonus bill on the revenue meas
ure by using that argument.
Presidential politics in the Demo
cratic party gets more confusing daily.
The McAdoo campaign is perhaps the
best organized and will have Lost
votes on the first ballot. Senator
Underwood's strength is increasing. 1t
looks now as if the two highest will
be McAdoo and Underwood on the
first ballot. The organization men
are beginning to talk of Governor Al
