ANOTHER RICH STRIKE
 MADE ON DAILY ALASKA

A second strike of high grade
 ore, exceeding both in extent
 and importance that of several weeks ago, has been made on the Daly-Alaska. The new dis covery was made under con-
 ditions which leave no doubt
 that the property is destined to become not only real mine
 but also a prolific producer.
 According to Manager Wm. Sloan, under whose direction the property has been raised from the status of a good pros pect to a property of high val ue, the strike was made in the extension of the cross cut tun- mel started last year, which
 has now penetrated the fourth of the large ore bodies cofn- prising the surface showings. The width of mineralizs ton in the ore zone is over 35 feet. Eight feet of the zone, which carries splendid values in gold and silver, is now being drift ed on to determine it's extent.
 TEe ore body is a clearly d.
 fined vein, the structure ..l
 which is an exact duplicate of that found on the surface Mr. Sloan states that the strike was made at a vertical deptf, oe 800 feet below the outcrop. q depth on the ore attained on few properties in the district A streak of ore some twenty inches in thickness along the hanging wall of the drift shows considerable quantities of ruby and native silver, while the balance of the eight feet of ore on which the drift is be- ing run is strongly mineralized. Tests of the ore in the twenty inch streak give average val ues $53 per ton, in gold and silver, while samples taken across the remainder of the face show an average value of SIS per ton. Mir. Sloan states that the samples from which these values were obtained were made after the high grade had been eliminated as far as possible, in order to ob-
Hyder weekly herald., 1924-12-17

tain an accurate index to the
 average values. The drift has now been extended a distance Iof twenty five feet or so from the tunnel, with the ore hold ling up both in character and values carried. The tunnel in- tersects the ore body at a dis tance of $50 from the portal. Mir. Sloan states that it is the intention to thoroughly ex-
 plore the vein by drifting for a hundred feet or so, after which he plans to raise to the sur- face. A cross cut will also be started from the tunnel which is expected to tap the vein at a distance of 150 feet from the present drift. An interesting and highly significant feature Iof the new discovery is that, the ore, like that found sever al weeks ago, lies in similar for nation and under the same conditions as the Premier ores Ia close contact of the Premier porphry and greensboro tuche being the predominating feat ure.
 In response to a question re- garding the company's future contemplations MT. Sloan said that work is being continued on the large body of ore found several weeks ago and he also, expects to install a diamond drill and 75 horsepower plant to hasten development in anticipation of placing the property on a producing basis during the coming year. It is also very possible, he says, that ore shipments will be made during the winter. Two shifts are now at work and will be increased as occasion demands.
 Large samples of the ore from No. 4 vein seen by the Herald representative were thickly inn pregnated with ruby and nat i've silver, the former showing in large sized bands or streaks, with the native showing in con- siderable quantities over a large part of the surface.

EXPLOSION WRECKS SILVER GRILL-STEWART
 TWO ARE INJURED

Victims of a terrific explosion of the cooking. range in the
 kitchen of the Silver Grill in the Hotel King Edward, early
 Monday morning, J. s. Stick ney, proprietor of that we'll known Stewart establishment,
 and his kitchen assistant, known generally as the"Blime Kid" are in the Stewart Gen eral Hospital suffering from a variety of severe decorations and bruises about the head and face, caused by their being struck by fragments of iron from the exploding range. The explosion occurred shortly after the fire was lighted and is believed to have been due to the water pipes having frozen during the night. The force of the explosion was so great that not only the range but almost every article of furniture in the kitchen was wrecked and every window in the restaurant was blown out. That the two men escaped without mortal injury seems almost 8 miracle, as broken pieces of iron from the shattered range were hurl- ed in all directions by the force of the blast. Fire from the range was scattered about the room and caused a hasty call for the fire department to avert destruction of the hotel building. Mir. Stickney's in. iuries are of a character to keep him confined for some time, but those of his assistant, are reported mending so rapid ly that he is expected to leave the hospital in a few days.

FINISHING TOUCHES aa5g
 ON RIVERSIDE MILL

Work on the construction of Riverside mill has now reach ed the stage where construct or Otto Trojanowski can see the end of his labors, after many delays and difficulties, due to transportation delays and other adverse conditions. The machinery is all in place and the piping for the water supply system and the electric wiring are now being installed. When this work is finished the mill will be practically completed and in shape to com- mence grinding out it's daily grist of ore. Manager J. D. Littlepage has a large reserve of ore stored up in readiness for the commencement of mill- ing operations, every old work ing and tunnel being filled to capacity.
 Work on the fourth level is proceeding satisfactorily and with pleasing results. Al though not officially stated, it is understood that the ore on this level is ?, of better grade than in the higher levels and insures a good margin of prof it over operation costs.

NEW TUNNEL CONTRACT
 LET-VICTORIA MINES

Robt. w. Martin, head of the Victoria Mines, Ltd, has let "a new contract for a $50 foot extension of the present work ing tunnel on the company properties on Glacier Creek, according to late information from Stewart. An interesting feature of the contract is that the contractors, Jack Howse, Tom Williams, Angus McKen- zie, James Donald and two or three others whose names were not learned, think so favorably of this property that they arranged to take one half of the contract price in Vic toria Mines stock. MT. Howse and others concerned in the new contract were interested in an earlier contract under which most of the develop ment work now in progress was done.

SUDDEN COLD SNAP

A sudden cold snap Saturday evening sent the mercury down to the vicinity of the zero mark. The cold was accom- panied by a stiff breeze from the north that sent the chiHs skurrying up the backbones of pedestrians who ventured out without their oYercoats and kept householders bailing coal at a most unusual rate for this section of Alaska. During Sat- urday night and Sunday the temperature fell steadily until 1 degrees below zero was re- corded on the Weather Bureau thermometer at the postoffice Sunday evening.
 During Monday and Tuesday low temperatures continued. Eleven degrees below zero was registered Tuesday evening.
 According to the old timers, the temperatures reached were the lowest in years.

PRUDENCE PRONOUNCED SPLENDID PERFORMANCE

A considerable number of Hyderites made the trip to Stewart last week to witness eht performance of the mus lcal comedy Prudence" writ ten by Miss Mamie Frazer and produced under her direction at the Stewart Opera House. One and all are of the opinion that it was easily the best theatrical performance ever seen in the Portland Canal District and it is understood that some of them are discuss ing the feasibility of having it repeated in Hyder, if arrange ments can be made to that end. The cast included Is persons with Miss Fraser in the title role of Prudence" and a chorus of seven female and five male voices. Lively dia- logue was interspersed with tuneful lyrics throughout the two acts, the first of which was laid in an English garden and the second in a ball room. A sprightly song speciality en- titled: Gee! I wish I was a kid" featuring Miss Fraser and a chorus, formed an inter- mediate act. The cast was com- posed of the following: w. s. Orr, P. s. Jack, s. P. Silverman H. G. Marvin, J. D. Mcdonald and Mamie Fraser. Chorus: Ida Watson, ,Muriel Crawford, Mabel Mellor, Helen Hall, Daphne Workman, Bertha Stickney, Cherry Campbell, J. w. Wilson, H. Wake, J. Harper, A. Carolan and V. Zeiffert.

SAYS OMTNECA BEST
 PLACER DISTRICT
 ON CONTINENT

After years of following the gold lure in practically every placer district in the North, Robert H. Fleming, widely known sourdough mining and lumber man, is emphatic in de- claring that in his opinion the Omineca district is destined to become the greatest placer country on the continent.
 In a statement to the Herald last week, MT. Fleming said: "I have mined and prospected in almost every part of Alaska and Northern Canada" I have prospected the gold creeks of the Nome country, Fairbanks, the Yukon and also Northwest crn Canada from the Caribou to Atlin, but from what have seen of the Omineca, it is the, greatest placer country on the American continent.
 Prospects can be found on almost every stream in the region north and northeast of Takla Lake, he says. The Om- ineca,rthe Mesalinka, Asilmika and Ingenika and their trib- utaries are all gold bearing streams and gold can be found along the rims on all of them. Conditions are such, however, that prospecting the streams is difficult owing to water and so far as he could learn in two extensive prospecting trips, no one had ever reached bedrock in any of the creek channels. Drill prospecting, he said, is the enly<means. by which the creek and river beds can be reached but up to the time he left, a few weeks ago, no one had attempted that form of prospecting.
 "As a matter of fact" he said there are very few miners and prospectors in the district. There are only two genuine prospectors there, although there are a number of trap pers who do a little prospect ing on the side when the fur season is slack. The deepest holes sunk in the country, on benches, do not exceed 30 feet. Some mining has been going on along the head of the h. ginika for a long time and al- so at a few other points, but the country has not even been touched except in the districts that can be reached the cas- fest. But turn a few real pros pecors loose with hand drills and I believe it will become a bonanza district. MT. Fleming said one of the main reasons why the country has not been opened up to a greater extent is the lack of transportation. Freight charges are ten cents per pound between Port St. James and Manson Creek, few miles below the Omineca. - When informed of the recent aAl1la1IlllGA

 One of largest mail consign- ments of the year, thirty sacks in all, arrived from the States on the Admiral Watson last week. The dispatch included mail of all classes, the bulk of it being made up of Christmas packages.
 Combined with the mails ar irving and departing on the Grand Trunk and the Wales, the quantity handled during the week was probably the largest in the history of the To- cal office.

action of the Chamber of Com
 merce in getting behind the ef- fort now being made by the citizens of British Columbia and Alberta to secure con- struetion of al branch of one of the transcontinental rail road
 lines to Stewart and Hyder. MT Fleming expressed hearty ap-
 proval, stating that the pro- tject would open up this great placer region to exploitation
 as we'll as the great coal and agricultural resources of the
 Peace River and Alberta sec tions. The construction of a railroad would ] undoubtedly result in a great influx of set
 tiers into Alberta and Peace River countries, he said, while the Omineca would attract from all parts of the North miners and prospectors, who are disinclined to go there at present owing to the, difficult ties of travelling and trans porting supplies oyer wide dis tances. According to MT. Flem- ing, the route of the proposed railroad is one that presents no difficulties and would open up an immense area filled with a wide variety of resources, from grain to coal and gold. The Ground Hog section, he says. has some of the finest coal so far found in the North, the quality being. much super for to that of the Alaska fields. With all these resources to feed it and with the added prospect of securing large portion of the trade of Alaska through a terminal at Hyder, there appears to be little doubt that a railroad would not only be fggreat benefit in the ,devel- opment of Western Canada and Alaska, but would also yield big returns on the invest rnent within a very few years.
