NEW COMPANY FOR
 BEAR RIVER SECTION

The Vancouver Mines, Ltd. is the name of the latest mining organization to enter the local field. The new concern was re- gently incorporated in Vancou- yer with Chas. E. Heron as president, Col. w. T. Perkins, vice-president. Sam Des- champs, of Stewart, will be in charge of the company operat- ions on ground formerly own ed by himself, and known as the Hope and Monday, which are located in the vicin- ity of the Terminus. A large amount of development work has been done, including about 200 feet of tunneling. Good surface showings are said to ex ist on the ground. MT. Des- champs expects to commence active development work with in a short time.

HYDER, ALASKA, WEDNESDAY,, MARCH 4, 1925
GOOD PROGRESS
 ON INDEPENDENCE

Averaging about Az feet to Ithe round and with the com Rpressor working in fine shape, development work on the In- dependence is proceeding in a most satisfactory manner, ac- |cording to, Jack Fitzgerald, manager of mine operations,
 who visited Hyder during the
 week.
 Work on the property is now directed to extending a cross cut tunnel from the No.2 main tunnel to intersect series of four veins which parallel the two main leads a short dis tance northwest of the present workings. Mir. Fitzgerald says that recent operations on the No. 2 vein have opened up a shoot of ore of nice milling quality on which a 32 foot cross cut has been run with ore
 practically throughout its length. The shoot was encount- cred at a depth of about 400 feet and at an equal distance from the portal of the tunnel on No. l vein. Samples of the ore show chalcopyrite and galena in generous quantities in a quartz gangue. Part of the vein is sufficiently high grade to sort. MT. Fitzgerald states that the extension of the new cross cut to it's ultimate limit will coen up the entire vein system as disclosed by the out crops.
 Surveys have recently been made of the various tunnels and cross cuts which indicate that the workings are pene- trating the main ore zone and the opening of a large org body in the near future is a likely eventuality.
 A shipment of powder, steel, gasoline and other supplies sufficient to last the summer will arrive on the next boats, in addition to other mine equipment.

B U NTING ONDS
 HOB o GR OU P

As a result of a deal complet- led during the present week, the Hobo Group, owned by Marius .Pederson and Albert
 Johnson, has been taken over under bond by William Bunt- ing who arrived from the South Monday and left for Vancouv- er Thursday. The price involv- ed is said to be in the neighbor- hood of $16,000.
 MT. Bunting declined to dis cuss the deal before leaving, and nothing could be learned regarding his contemplations. The properties involved com prise a total of six claims and are located a short distance north of the head of Fish Creek and in close proximity to the McGrew--Fernald prop critics.
 The group was bonded early last fall by Messrs. Chaffee and Fraser, of Vancouver, but was later released without any attempt at exploration on the part of the bondholders. Con- siderable development work carried on by the owners has opened up a number of prom ising surface showings. Assays of the ore are said to have yielded high values, with an unusually large gold content.

NO PARTY HOLDS POWER
 HI TERRITORIAL SENATE

The political complexion of the present Alaska legislature, which convened in Juneau last
 Monday, is the most varied in several terms, according to an
 interesting analysis of the var
 ious elements composing it
 made by the Juneau Empire,
 from which. we quote the fol-
 lowing:
 The Senate has four members
 elected as Republicans, two as
 Independents, and two as Dem-
 ocrats. Senator John w. Dunn,
 senior member from the Fourth Division, formerly held
 membership in the House as
 Democrat but was elected two
 years ago as an Independent.
 Charles w. Brown, the second
 Independent member of the
 upper House, and junior sena- tor from the Second Division,
 was elected to the 1920 Legis-
 lature as a Republican. The members elected as Republi- cans are Hunt and Aldrich, First Division; Bartley How ard, Third Division, and Fred Aver, Second Division. Demo- cratic members are: A. J. Di- mond, Valdez, and Harry E. Pratt, Fairbanks.
 All except two have had former legislative experience in Alaska. The two without former service are MT. How ard and MT. Pratt.
 There are only two mem- bers in the lower House with previous legislative service in Alaska-J. w. Murray, Third Division, and H. H. Ross, Fourth Division. Both are Re- publicans. Others elected as Republicans are: w. D. Grant, c. B. Ferguson and w. L. Paul First Division; Ben A. Grier, Third Division; George C. Fourth Division. Dem ocratic members are: N. 0. Hardy, First Division, c. H. 1 Wilson and William Sherman Third Division. R. E. Sheldon and H. G. Watson, Fourth i Division members, were elect ed as Independents. Both were formerly affiliated with the Democratic party in Fair banks. Andy Nylen, Second is the remaining h. dependent member.
 It is not improbable that a contest will be initiated against the seating of Paul who had a small margin over J. J. Connors. It is claimed 1 that there were enough irreg- ularities in the November election which can be proven to unseat him. Attorneys for MT. Connors who appeared be- fore the Territorial Canvassing Board indicated a possible contest. Lately nothing has been made public regarding what steps will be taken.

Reports from Stewart during the week say a second blind lead has been encountered in the lower tunnel on the Lake view property on Glacier creek. The new ore body, although apparently of no considerable size is given added import ance by it's close proximity to another lead of the same char acter encountered in the cross cut a short time ago and which is said to carry good values. The ore in both leads is appar- ently of the same character, showing galena, chalcopyrite and iron pyrite. in a gangue of light colored quartz. Neither of the two leads shows on the surface, the nearest surface showing being the main lead, located some distance beyond and forming the main object i've of the tunnel now being run on the third level.
 The new engine and com pressor which were added to the mine equipment recently are now installed on the prop erty.

about 60 feet across the bot tom and not over 25O feet across the top, with walls about 120 feet high. It. is es- timated that a 100 foot dam at this point would flood about 60,000 acre feet of the upper river valley, backing the water up at least 2 and probably ov- CT 3 miles. It is estimated that the dam would have a storage capacity to furnish at least 200 second feet for a period of 3 months. This it is believed should give 8 minimum flow of 300 feet, with an effective minimum head of better than 400 feet. About ..21a miles of pipe line would be required to connect this huge reservoir di- rectly with the power plant site. There is a rise of about ITO feet between the two can- yons. -
 Situated some distance above the upper canyon is a third reservoir in the shape of a lake which is fed largely from Soule Glacier, an arm of the Chickamin Glacied. Owing to winter conditions no accurate data could be obtained by the party regarding the volume of water or the extent of the sur face area. The lake is said to about l 12 miles long and about one mile wide and should pro- vide considerable additional storage.
 Glacier Fork, a small stream which joins the main river near the upper dam site, would also provide considerable ad- ditional storage capacity.
 Easing their estimates on the extremely low figures obtain ed, the engineers assert that the project would undoubtedly develop more power than pres- Ient needs, warrant.
 Compared to measurements taken by, Messrs. Blue and Traversy last year, the volume of water at the time of the sur vey was less than half the min imum amount registered last year, the minimum flow dis closed by. weekly measure ments taken during December, 1924, the coldest month of the winter, was 250 second feet.

Gustave Seiffert, manager of the North and South Syndi- cate, operating on the North and South Line group in the Glacier Creek section, is ex- pected to return from the south during the coming week to re- new activities on that promis- ing property.

 A breakdown of the Premier power plant at 13 Mile during last week put that important adjunct of the power system out of commission for several days.

Advices given out by the Grand Trunk Pacific Steam ship Company recently indi- cate a prospective change of the company name with the in- auguration of it's new steam ship service to southeastern Alaska points with the steam CTS Prince Rupert and Prince George. Whether the change of name will involve the entire system or apply merely to the new Alaska service is not clear.
 The new designation will be the Canadian National Steam ships and the service will ex- tend from Vancouver to Jun eau Skagway and intermediate points and may be arranged later to include Cordova, Val dez and other westward points on the Alaska coast.
 Although no definite an- nouncement has been made re- garding the schedule it is indi- cated that the vessels will clear from this port for the more Inortherly Alaska points.

AMPLE POWER FOR
 BIG HYDRO-ELECTRIC PLANT ASSURED

vailed during the present win- ter, theevolunne of water avail able for power purposes in the tSoule Glacier River is suffici- Sentr.to supply all the power Fneeds of the district for a long time to come, is the outstand- ing feature of an Investigation conducted during the past few days s4by Messrs. Ernest Blue and Noel Traversy, holders of the power use permit, which forms the basis of the big hy- dro-electric project, recently proposed by N. F. Helmers, representative of the Seims, Helmers and Schaffner Com pany of St. Paul.
 Although numerous measure ments of the volume of water available during the winter months have been made by Messrs. Blue and Traversy during the past three years, the present winter has been one of the coldest in the hist ory of the camp, hence the fig ures obtained this winter may be considered as furnishing conclusive data regarding the minimum outflow of the stream under exceptional conditions.
 According to report rem dered by P. R. Backus, c. E., who conducted the recent in- vestigation, assisted by Jack Davis, MT. Trayersy and sev- eral others, the survey showed the survey disclosed a mini mum average flow of 80 sec ond feet, at a point at the up- per end of a deep canyon which debouches on the beach and forms the lower dam site and also the probable location of the proposed power plant. Somewhat larger figures were obtained below the canyon, but owing to the swift rush of water at this point accurate figures could not be obtained at the time. This gorge or can yon forms an ideal storage place, the channel being. about 40 feet wide at the bottom for approximately mile from the mouth, with the walls rising abruptly for 70 feet and with the tops overhanging the river. | According to the figures ob- tained by the party the aver age flow at this point under the extreme conditions pre- vailing at the time assure not less than $500 available horse power. Careful measurements taken at close intervals at the ' same point last summer dis closed an average flow of 5000 second feet. The figures are considered somewhat doubtful as the great rush of water at that time makes accurate measurements very difficult. This however was the lowest
 average obtainable.
 The measurements taken this winter, however, must form the basis of all computations and from these it will be seen that close to $500 horsepower may be considered certain un- der the most rigorous winter conditions known to this sect ion. The upper canyon and dam site, which is the most inn portant of the two, lies about two miles above, at an elevat- ion of 370 feet. This Is describ- Qd a0 a alnn0cf hoy oanUan
