DR. CARTER TELLS ABOUT
 NEW GOLD DIGGNGs
Dr. Carter of Hyder, Who Has Been to Gold Pan Greek, Tells What He Thinks of the Camp.
(Prince Rupert News)


 That while no one can yet. tell whether Gold Pan creek in the Casiar country is to become . min ing camp or not. it has all the pros- poets of being so although it is very different from the placer deposits on the Klondike, according to Dr. c. D. Carter, of Hyder, who has just come from there and who at the Elks roll call last night told about the country.
 Dr. Carter was the last man out this fall He left there on October 26, coming down the Stikine in a small boat with the Pendleton out fit who are operating in the old diggings 90 miles farther on. He left his cache of supplies which he had intended to use during the win ter and his men will pick them up in the spring. ts#a
 It was near the mouth of Gold Pan creek where Grady made his first strike. The creek is so named because there are two old gold pans in tree right where it flows into Eagle Creek. The whole creek is staked and most of the creeks flow ing into it are also begged out and the claims recorded. There are three of these, Grady Creek, Jimmy Creek and Dome Creek.
 Tanning on Discovery claim on Gold Pan Dr. Carter got values from IS cents to 30 cents which he con- siders good. He sank a hole seven feet on Dome creek and got colors all the way and he thinks there will be gold at bedrock. This he con- siders the best prospect of all. as the creek is most uniform and has all the appearance of having good pay dirt. It was at the mouth of this creek that Brady got a six dollar nugget.
 What the country needs is pros pectors,' said the doctor. It is easy to get in and the country is open and abounds in game. moose, caribou, fool hens and all sorts of wild life
 AS the doctor is an oldtime miner, having lived in Alaska and the Yu- kon for the past 2s years and par ticipated in almost every rush. he is likely to know what he is talking about. He has a number of claims there and has taken options on others and is quite enthusiastic over the country.

The Sitka Tribune in it's account last week of the Thanksgiving pro- gram at the public school, states that Mrs. John T. Towers who ar- ranged the program, read a paper on Thanksgiving. The fact that Mrs. Towers is a direct descendant of a Pilgrim gave an added interest tc her paper. At the close of the pro- gram refreshments were served which included Colonial fruit cake made by Mrs. Seavey, Mrs. Towers mother.

RYDER ENDORSES
RAILROAD MOVEMENT
(Portland Canal News)


 The action of the Hyder, Alaska, Chamber of Commerce in endorsing the movement to secure a railroad from the head of Portland Canal to connect on the prairies with one of the transcontinental systems, is of more importance than a first glance might indicate.
 Alaska is mighty empire in the making. and as has been pointed out on various occasions by this paper, it's interests and the interests of Northern British Columbia are iden- tical. Alaska has long been. and still is, at the mercy of steamship companies, and a -transcontinental railroad reaching any part of her territory would be a Godsend.
 This may sound overdrawn, but here is how 1t works out There is on the LISA. federal statute books, a law known as the Jones Bill. Under the provisions of this bill produce originating in the United States or any of its possessions. and destined to be carried by water to another section of the United States. must be carried on American ships and landed at an American port.
 The principal export of Alaska at present is fish. Without having the exact figures before us, we can say that the Territory ships roughly from 25 to 40 million dollars worth of fish annually. Nearly all of this goes to Seattle for trans-shipment. Could it be landed at Prince Rupert for trans-shipment, two days time could be gained for its arrival in eastern markets; but the Jones bill prevents this.
 A railroad could be built to Stew art. at the head of Portland Canal. the logical reasons for which have been repeatedly given in this paper and a two-mile spur would give entry into Alaskan territory at Hy- der. Alaska produce could be loaded there, hauled by rail across the con- tinent, complying with the Jones Bill and gaining two days over any l American route There is no argu- ment as to what this would mean in shipments of fresh fish. If the Hyder Chamber of Com merce can succeed in getting the rest of Alaska interested, a great work will have been accomplished. Rail- roads are out for business, and if the Canadian National or C.P.R. off cials can visualize trainloads of grain landing at this port, and train loads of fish going east. in- stead of empty cars. they cannot help looking with favor upon this port as a western terminus.
 Good work, Hyder Chamber of Commerce! Keep it up!
