Hyder weekly miner., 1924-03-24

Ginger up! Spring is almost here. The days are growing longer; the winter snow is van- ishing from the, hills; the first green buds are showing on the trees. Time to arouse from the lethargy and discontent of winter and to busy ourselves with preparations for the new season of warmth and activity. A few weeks and the hills will once more resound the rumble and roar of rending rock and bursting charge, the long pack trains will wind their way among the frowning peaks and a naw host will delve deep in the bosom of Mother Earth in ses cch of golden wealth. Time to ringer up, friends, for spring is almost here.

 Bill Smith came out of the Koyukuk with a fat poke and visited the States, after 20 years in the wilderness, dur which time many things had happened. Among other things he had never seen an auto mobile. Early on the first day of his arrival he saw one go whizzing by, closely followed by a motorcycle.
 Bill stared in perplexity for a moment before exclaiming ex- citedly: Gosh! I've heard of lem but derned if I ever heard they had colts"

The Hyder-Stewart mail sit nation appears to be one in which the citizens of Hyder could interest themselves with advantage to their community as we'll as of the neighboring community across the bound ary line. A brief survey dis closes a most astoiishing and wholly uncalled for situation with respect to mail commun- ication between the two places. Despite the fact that each town is in plain view of the other, a period ranging from three days to a week is re- quired to send a letter from one to the other through the mails. Mail forwarded via the Canadian steamers, landing
 twice a week a few hundred feet beyond the boundaries of Hyder, must go to Prince Rup- ert, more than a hundred miles away and then return over identically the same route and be landed at the dock from which it left before it can reach Stewart. Mail forwarded from Stewart postoffice to Fly der also goes to Prince Rupert, from which point it is sent to Ketchikan, where it is held un- the sailing of the mail boat leaving that port once a week for Hyder. A letter following the latter route travels approx imately five hundred miles and requires from a week to ten

by FAIR PLAY.

NEW YORK, October 20.-"Irish
Johnny" Curtin is getting ready for
the exit signal. He was grand
little fighter was Johnny. and it
seems too bad that he is evidently
slated for the has-been class.
A lot of Curtin's friends wish he
would stop before the memory of
his many glorious achievements in
the ring is obliterated by series
of those disasters that are sure TO
come to the once classy boy who
keeps on and on in the hope that he
will win in the fight against Father
Time.
Most of Curtin's admirers refused
to admit that Johnny was getting
into the aged class until he made
that pitiful effort against Jackie Cor
don. Ouwardly in that go he seemed
to be the Johnny of old. He moved
about aggressively, but none the less
he failed to make a showing against
a boy who would not have gone
a round with him in the old days.
Finally, when Curtin was floored
by a left-hand jab the works were
in and Johnny showed where the
years have brought him.
