HOMESTAKE SAMPLES
SHOW FINE VALUES

Samples taken recently from
the fine ore body encountered
in the cross cut tunnel run on
the Homestake properties,
Texas Creek, by Messrs Carl
son and Hewitt during the fall,
disclose that the ore carries
excellent values in gold, silver
and lead, in. addition to small
amount of copper. The tunnel
is located on Homestake No. l
and cuts the ore at a depth of
80 feet. below the outcrop. Five
samples taken across the width
of the vein showed values
ranging from $21.55 to $112.5O
per ton. The assaying was done
by John Hovland. Sample No.
1, taken over a width of 2 feet,
gave assay returns of $112.5O
per ton. Sample No. 2, taken
over a width of 5 feet showed
values approximating $57.55.
Sample 3, taken at point
where the quartz shows very
little naturalization, gave re-
turns of $21.55, of which $40.
70 was gold and silver, the re-
mainder being lead, with a
small amount of copper. Sam
pie No. A, taken from an I'M
promising looking streak of
quartz along the hanging wall,
gave returns of $26 in gold,
$28 silver, and $50 in copper.
No. 5 sample, taken over a
width of 26 inches, showed
81 in gold, $3.50 silver, $1.80
copper and $56 in lead. The
largest return of lead was from
sample 1, which showed lead
amounting to SAT- per cent.
IN a statement to the He, aid,
Mr.. Hewitt emphasized that
rome of the samples were pici;-
ed. rat that all were taken
across the vein, with the one
idea Of securing a fair average.

Hugo Stratford, of Stewart, is
credited with revolutionary
invention in the shape of a new
type of differential gear for
automobiles which applies
power separately to each rear
wheel. Under the present sys-
tenn of power application, if
both rear wheels do not obtain
traction an automobile will not
run. Mr.. Stratford's invention
enables a car to run on three
wheels. To demonstrate this
fact Mr.. Stratford removed a
rear. wheel from the car with
which he conducted his exper-
iments, substituting a piece of
timber to keep the machine on
a level keel, and drove without
difficulty at "a good rate of
speed. Mr.. Stratford and Will
lam Noble, who is associated
with him in the new contriv-
ance, left for the East few
days ago to place it on the
market.

STORM CREATES
HEAVY DAMAGE

What is said to have been one
of the heaviest snow storms oc-
curing here in years developed
Saturday and created havoc
with the telephone and cleo
trio light lines both in Hyder
and Stewart during the follow
ing day. Although descending
in great volume, the snow was
exceedingly wet and heavy,
SO heavy in fact that the
weight of it broke telephone
wires, pulled down the poles,
and stretched the heavy trans
mission lines of the Internal
ional Electric Co. in addition
to uprooting trees, which fell
across the service lines at sew
Feral points. AS a result of the
devastation, Stewart was in
darkness Sunday night, while
in Hyder the stygian gloom of
night continued from Sunday
night until late Thursday even
ing, when repairs were finally
completed. Owing to the alb
Sence of electric current the
Herald plant was placed on
the waiting list, with the result
that the present issue appears
much belated.

DUNWELL AGAIN
MAKES GOOD

Proving conclusively the con,
tinuity of the vein Of high
grade ore encountered last
spring in the number 3 tunnel
and demonstrating beyond all
doubt that the Dunwell is a
real mine, number A tunnel
penetrated the ore body last
week at a point 983 feet from
the portal, encountering min
eralization identical in char
acter and size with that found
in the No. 3 tunnel, approx
imately 800 feet higher up the
slope, and also in the higher
levels.
News of the strike was re-
ceived with the greatest salts
faction in Hyder as we'll as
Stewart and was Immediately
reflected in quick advance
in the price of Dunwell stock,
with few offerings.
According to the information
at hand the vein at the new
level is apparently somewhat
wider than in the No. 8 tunnel.
A drift running northward to
intersect the big ore body
found in the north drift of No.
8 level, had penetrated the
lead for a distance of approx
imately IS feet at the time of
writing, with the ore wider
than the drift along it's entire
course.
Although there is no longer
a doubt that the Dunwell is a
mine, interest is now conferred
on the prospective tapping of
the big ore shoot, which if
found where expected, at a
point about ITO feet north of
the tunnel face, will assure an
immense tonnage of ore and
give the mine the last stamp
of certainty in the minds of
the public.
The new tunnel intersects the
vein at an approximate depth
of 1000 feet on the dip of the
vein and at a vertical depth of
more than 700 feet. Owing to
the pitch of the mountain
slope above, the drift now be-
ing run is expected to tap the
big ore shoot at an even great
er depth.

Prominent mention is made
of the Hyder district in the an
|nual report of Territorial Mine
Inspector B.. d. Stewart for
1928, a copy of which arrived
on the last mail. The increased

notice; the report stating that
the volume of development
work on new properties, and
prospecting were more active
in this district than in any 9TH
err lode mining district in Alas
ka. Texas Creek is pointed out

length the development work
done and also mentioning the
new mill now in course of con-
struction.

The prize masquerade dance
given by the Chamber of Com
merce in Pioneer Hall Thanks
giving eve proved q most en-
joyable event and attracted a

that only q few of the dancers

the event in q small measure
but those who endeavored to
afford themselves and others
the amusement attached to
|cOstuming were exceptionally
well gotten up.
By far the most noticeable
character ON the floor was
Harry Tanner, dressed as an
Irish washwoTnan out for an
evening. From the ornate
millinery, with its sweeping
plume running. wild, to the
generous footwear, the CO.'S
tune was a scream, and was
made further effective by Har-
RVS depletion of the wash
lady's airs and graces.
The prize for the best dress
ed lady, a pearl necklace was
awarded to Mrs. Harry Tanner
representing a harem lady. T.

Indians, were awarded the
prizes for the most original
costumes, an electric boudoir

and the judges decided to give
the award, an electric curling
ron, to Mrs. w. S. Sullivan,
or the best sustained lady
character on the floor. Mrs.
sullivan represented an Indian
squaw.
The prize for the most COM
cal male character a box of
cigars, was given to Mr.. Tan
ner. An extra prize was also

for more than twenty six years,
during which time he visited
almost every part or the Ter

known to many hundreds OF
Alaska residents.
DR.. Brooks was at all times
"a staunch friend and supporter
of the Territory, and ever
ready to lend his personal
assistance toward anything
conducive to its welfare. Witt

wrote a series of papers in
which he advised prospectora
to look for gold in certain Sc

Although Christmas is less
than a month away and Christ
mas shopping is in full swing,
there is a decided shortage of
holiday displays in the stores
up to the present. Only three
or four business establishments
have what may be properly
termed Christmas displays in
their show windows.
Chief on the list of those Of
fering displays is the Hyder
Drug Company, with a splen-
did showing of toys, cameras,
novelties, jewelry and bric-a-
brac. The Midget Emporium
is also showing a tasty display
of novelties, books and other
articles but is waiting the ar
rival of larger line of holt
day goods.
During Thanksgiving week,
the Lyons Market had SPLEEN
did window display of taste
fully and attractively arranged
meats, poultry and other good
things to eat, and is now await
ing the arrival of new stock
before presenting it's Christ
mas offerings.
Among the downtown estab-
lishments the Hyder Mercan-
tile Co., is offering an attract
i've line of silverware and cleo
trical appliances, but like most
of the others is awaiting more
stock before attempting a real
Xmas display.

for Mr.. Crawford, he realized
that there was danger in touch

to enter into a contract with
the manufacturers of the Pack

rights to new type of con-

recently invented and which is
said to have many advantages
over those now in general use.
Mr.. Mcdonnell is said to have
received tentative offers from
the Ford, Packard and other
companies, during the past

the new brake is said to be
that it can be fitted to prac-
tically all types Of cars with
out entailing more than slight
changes in the differential
housing and can be applied to
braking one or both wheels, as
conditions require. It is also
said to be practically indie

CHARLES RAY AT CApITo.

:; One of the many interesting scenes i in 'Smudge," Charles Rays latest production which is being distributed
 by First National and is now playing at the Capitol tnearer, shows the in terior of sorting and packing ware .Eouse for the orange industry. The scenes possess an educational quality and together with many shots of the beautiful orchards. they help to make the film informative as well as excep- tionally interesting. It is fascinating to watch the speed with which the oranges rare sorted and wrapped in paper by the skilful girls who work in the warehouses; and the many miles of orchards shown in the scenes serve to add much beauty to the picture. To those who have never been in California the yis- tas will make a decided appeal.
 The Keith vaudeville show com prises five headline acts presenting the Bob Fender Troupe, an aggrega- ton of ten athletes who offer nov city in stilt walking and eccentric dancing. Adams and the Thompson Sisters will delight with their eX- cellent musical offering; and the Clay ton Drew Players will provide the comedy on the bill with their Shakes pearean comedy When Rome Howls." The other acts are up to the Capitol standard and the whole bill will be heartily enjoyed.

and put this program in use at the earliest possible time. Don't delay, as the longer you put it off the more diff. ficult it will be to induce baby to think well of it. Of course, undeyeloped, premature or delicate babies must have more carefully determined nursing period under physicians or ders. .
 Carefully compsring averages through q period of three years. find that the average infant usually takes, while nursing in the first two or three weeks, from six to ten ounces day. After this time, there is a marked increase. The rule seems fairly constant that the baby should receive of breast milk, in each 24 hours, two times as many ounces as his weight in pounds.
 This will nccessitate the weighing of the infant each day, to correctly determine the proper growth in weight. The well-bcing of your baby depends on the amount of food Gi- gosted and nssimilatrd, not on the amount fed.
 Wean infants on the compleiion of the ninth month.
