NEW EQUIPMENT
 FOR MOUNTAINvIEW

Arthur Moa, manager of the Riverview Gold Mining Com pany, operating on the highly promising Hovland group on Fish Creek, on which exten- sive development work has been in progress since early last summer, is at present in the States procuring new min ing equipment, according to recent Ketchikan advices.
 Work on the property is pro- ceeding by hand methods, with a crew of five or six men em- ployed, the main effort being directed to driving a lengthy tunnel on the ore from Skook- um Gulch. The ore on which the drift is being run carries good working values and is re- liably stated to be showing in- creasing richness as depth is attained. With further exten- sion the tunnel is expected to cut series of cross fractures lying higher up the slope, the outcrops of which contain gold-silver ore of high value.
 It is understood that the ma chinery purchased by MT. Moa will include, in addition to power drilling apparatus, the equipment for a 4,000 foot tram, which when installed will extend from the mine to the Salrl> Riv F road. MT. Moa is expected to return to Hyder with the new mine equipment in March, after which a much enlarged scale of development will be inaug- urated.

KEEP YOUR
 SIDEWALKS CLEAN

Attention is called to the fact that a number of sidewalks surrounding inhabited places are in exceedinly unsafe con- dition because of the failure of their occupants to clear away the snow accumulations. Keep ing the walks clear for travel is admittedly not a task one relishes. However it is duty that in most communities is enforced by law, the theory being that property holders ae responsible for the care and upkeep of the walks surround ing their premises. There is no law in Hyder to compel observ- ance of this rule but those who neglect it should recall that it is none the less a public duty to keep their walks at least fairly safe for pedestrians.

Balch outlines the importance to the Territory of the transcontinental. railway terminal proposal and also points out that a railroad up the Salmon River valley is one of the primary needs of the district in facilitating future development.

Porter Idaho stock continues the strong upward trend devel- oping during the late fall and is in considerable demand in the south. Offerings of S25 per unit were made during the past week. With every pros pect of still further advances, local owners are holding on, demanding, meantime, prices in excess of $50 per unit. Aside from slight fluctuations, other local stocks are retaining the same levels as in the past few weeks.

 The wedding ceremony was performed at the Drake Hotel, one of the prominent Chicago hostelries.
 The bride is the daughter of R. c. Brown, a prominent at torney of Minneapolis. Follow ing the wedding the happy couple went to Waukesha, Wisconsin for a brief honey moon before coming to Hyder. They expect to arrive here about February 1.

With cash receipts totaling $902.05 and expenses aggre- gating $94.60, the net cash re- turns from the recent benefit dance and entertainment for Stewart General Hospital were $807.45, according to the fi- nancial report of the board, is- sued during the week. In ad- dition to the cash realized, goods of various kinds valued at $31 are still to be sold. The hospital board is planning to devote a portion of the pro- ceeds to purchasing an X-ray equipment at cost of 1,500. The proposal is in every way a wise one, as the installation of apparatus of that character will be of great benefit and widen considerably the scope of the hospitals capacities in caring for the afflicted.

RYDER DEVELOPMENTS
 ATTRACTING INTEREST

Letters from local mining men arriving on recent mails from the states report that the out look for mining development in the Hyder section next sum- mer is most encouraging. The rich strike on the Daly Alaska and the present certainty that the Riverside will be in active production, combined with oth- CT encouraging developments in both the Salmon and Bear river areas during the past summer, have caused a wide increase of interest among in- vestors that wilL it is proph- esied, most certainly result in increased development activ- ities.
 Publicity relative to the Hy- der-Stewart railway terminal proposal is also said to have produced a decidedly favor able impression and has given the district a vast amount of invaluable advertising that could scarcely have been gain ed in any other way.

RIVERSIDE MILL
 STARTED SATURDAY

Inaugurating a new era of mineral development in the Alaska section of the Portland Canal mining district, the new ore mill, installed at the River side mine during the past seas on, is now in permanent oper- ation.
 Following a number of pre- liminary turnovers during the past few days to test the ma 'chinery, the mill was placed in active operation Saturday. As has. been the case throughout the nine's history, the opening of the plant was about as quiet an event as could be imagined. In fact, a proposal to make the start an occasion for a public celebration was promptly vetoed by manager J. D. Littlepage on the score that the owners desire no pub licity. Thus it happened that very few aside from those di- : rectly interested were aware when the final adjustments were made and the prelim- mary tests yielded to perma- nent operation.
 Erected under the experience ed superintendency of Otto Trojanowski, who also con structed the mill of the great Premier mine, a few miles far ther up the valley, the new ore crushing plant responded to reducing plant responded to did manner. Barring the need for a few slight adjustments, the machinery worked smooth 1y throughout the initial run. A few minor parts, which fail ed to arrive in time, are to be installed, after which the plant will be fully equipped and ready to grind out its daily quota of ore indefinitely.
 The equipment throughout is of the most modern type, the Barber, Strong, Black interests, of Ketchikan and Seattle, own CTS of the property, having spared no expense in making the plant as complete and up to date as possible, within the range of it's capacity of 60 tons per day.

ALASKA GOLD OUTPUT |.
 INCREASES IN 1924

Memorandum reports to the press issued by the Depart ment of the Interior covering the Alaska mineral production in 1924 disclose wide in- crease in gold production dur ing that period. Reports com piled by the Geological Survey place the total mineral pro- duction of the Territory at $17, 670,000. Copper, as usual, was the leading mineral, with a to- tai value of $1O,000,000. Gold was next in importance with an output estimated at S6,350, 900, as against $5,985.314 in 1923. Coal ranked third in the scale with a total productive value of S550,000. Silver was fourth with $450,00O. Remain ing mineral elements contrib uting to the total, included lead, petroleum, marble, gyp- sum, tin, platinum, etc. and were valued at S320,000.
 With the one exception of gold there was a decrease in values produced in all of the leading minerals, copper nro- duction in 1923 having totaled $12,630,335; silver, S668,012; coal, $755,4
 In explanation of the increas- ed gold output the report says it was mainly due to increased activity at the lode mines in southeastern Alaska, as there was slight decrease in the amount of gold won from the placers. The decrease in the total value of the mineral out put, as compared to 1928, is attributed to smaller copper production and a much lower average price of that metal.
 Relative to the Hyder district the report says:
 'In the Hyder district A. F. Buddington, of the Geological Survey, reports that develop ment work on veins containing gold, silver, and lead has dis closed ore shoots that are con- gidered sufficiently rich to warrant the construction of a mill. Several other properties in that district are likely to be- come productive"
 According to the report, 20 quartz mines in various parts of the Territory produced dur ing the year $2,750,00 in gold, an increase of more than S400, 900 over the output for 1923. This increase is largely credit ed to the Alaska-Juneau mine.
