tenance of pospecting, to al,
 extent in excess of that re- quired for assessment work,
 on many properties along the Salmon River valley; and the new strikes along Texas Creek. In the spring of 1928 the
 United States Forest Service
 began the construction of a
 prospectors' trail from Salmon
 River near Nine Mile to Behna
 Canal by way of the West
 Fork of Texas Creek, Chick
 amin Glacier, and the Chicka- min River valley. It was ex-
 pected that this trail would
 be completed in 1924 and
 would have a length of 4815
 miles. The Forest Service also expects to have a pack trail for horses completed from the Salmon River bridge near Nine Mile to the Chickamin Glacier by the fall of 1924 and pro- poses in the future to build a trail up the south fork of the Chickamin, running almos. east, across the divide at the head of Dolly Warden Creek and down the valley of that creek to Portland Canal. Another trail up the LeDuc River valley is also proposed. These trails will help to open up this area for systematic prospecting.
 A preliminary examination of the geology of the Hyder district was made in 1920 by l.. G. Westgate. Much light has also been thrown on the geology of the district by the detailed studies made by the Canadian geologists in the ad- jacent region across the in- ternational boundary.
 In 1923 the writer spenl from September 8 to Is in reconnaissance of new ore dis coveries along the Salmon River valley, especially thos on the West Fork of Texas Creek along the route of the recently constructed Govern ment trail.

In conformity to the an nouncement made last week the Herald presents below the first installment of the newly compiled U. s. Geological Sur vey report on the geology and minerology of the Hyder min- ing district. The report is the work of Mir. A. F. Buddington, and is the result of investi- gations made in the Salmon River and Texas creek areas during the fall of 1923. Cow ering not only the various types of mineral deposits but also describing with con- siderable detail the geological features of practically all of the more prominent proper ties, the report is of great val ue to the prospector ad min CT, as well as to others who are desirous of learning the mineral characteristics of the American sction of the Port land Canal District (Editor.)
 In the Hyder district the dis covery in July 1923, of a strong quartz vein we'll min eralized with galena carrying silver on the West Fork of Texas Creek resulted in a stampede of prospectors to this district. About 30 reached this area, and by the middle

than those of the first. This difference is in accordance with Scholield's statement that wherever tetrahedrite IS present the ore carries much silver. Veins of transitional character between the groups occur, such as the "cross' vein at the Riverside group anu some veins on the Texas Creek Comstock claims, where chalcopyrite in considerable quantity is associated with pyrite and galena. Pyrite anu sphalerite occur in practically all the veins in varying amounts, but galena appears to be the, predominant sulrh- idle. The sulphides occur cor. centrated in shoots within O. along the vein.

 cred, however, and the results
 have been of such a character
 as to warrant continued work
 It is probable that one ol more mines will be developed
 from the prospects in the Fly.
 der district.
 On the American side min
 eral deposits are founda in
 country rock of four general
 types-quartz perphyry, gran
 odiorite, greensboro, and sed-
 imentary beds. At the Alaska
 Premier and Titan and per-
 haps at one of the Stonet
 groups of claims, sheets ot
 quartz porphyry (greenish felsite) similar to that at the
 Premier mine in British Col
 umbia are being prospected.
 The naturalization in thls
 rock on the Alakan side diff
 CT in that the rich silver min-
 erals, such as argentite, py, rargyrite, stephanite, and nat. i've silver, have not been found,
 High gold returns, however, have been obtained from local pockets, particularly rich in sphalerite, and some bodies with low tenor in gold have been found, but as yet no com mercial ore body.
 Within the greenstones local pockets giving high-gradt gold assays, samples reported to give very high silver assays, and mineralized bands of low to medium grade containinA mainly silver, gold, and lead have been found. There are many mineralized streaks in the greenstones, but no exten- sive prospecting has been done on them and no commercial body of ore has yet been de- veloped.
 Most of the development work i'll this region SO far has centered on the quartz Assure veins in granitoid rock. The granitoid rocks vary from granodiorite to quartz-horn- blende diorite. The term gran odiorite will be used as a gen. eral descriptive name for them where accurate deter. imitation has not been made. The Assure veins occur along the east side of Salmon River and both sides of the Wes, Fork of Texas Creek. Veins of similar character and min- eralization are also found in the andesitic tuffs at the Tex as Creek Comstock group, Oh the south side of the West Fork of Texas Creek, and in banded argillite and quartz ite at the Ibex prospect, on the north side of the West Fork of Texas Creek.
 The available data on the strike and dip of the veins suggest the possibility that there may be two groups one whose strikes vary be- tween N. 30 degrees w. anu N. 60 degrees w., with dips of 45 degreeS-70 degrees N. E., and another whose strikes vary between N. 15 degrees E. and N. 10 degrees w., with dips of 30 degrees-70 de- grees E. The former are the most numerous, and the lat ter are prominent in the w. cinity of the Homestake-Ibex groups on Texas Creek. Faults that offset the veins with small displacements are not and at seveal To- calities the veins are cut by dikes.
 With respect to the sulphide mineralization, most of the veins may be divided into two groups, one of which is char acterized by the predon1l- nance of galena and pyrite, and the other by galena as- sociated with tetrahedrite, chalcopyrite, and other sul- phides. The veins of the sec ond group carry more silver

SEA HAWK IS
 SPECTACULAR
 AND THRILLING
FRANK LLOYD PRODUCTION OF FAMOUS SABATlNi NOVEL A
 GIGANTIC UNDERTAKING

Frank Lloyd's First National pie ture, The Sea Hawk" adapted from Rafael Sabatini's stirring novel of Barbary corsairs, opens at the Liberty Theatre tonight. "The Sea Hawk is the crowning achievement of a season of brilliant screen dramas, a play that registers it's magnitude in every scene and with such force that it is not likely that local screen followers will cease to talk about it very soon.
 "The Sea Hawk" is masterpiece of cinema art dramatically, pictorially and technically. Seldom have there been so many massive settinge in one picture before, especially so many big sea scenes with ships of such dimen- sions employed. To the picture fan who judges big pictures merely by big settings and the number of people employed in them, 'The Sea Hawk" should be unusually attractive; to the student of the screen and the critic the massive sets, the gorgeous ward robe and the more than a thousand people employed in it are merely in- cldental in comparison to the action of the story, for the Sea Hawk" is the fastest moving big picture ever seen on the silver sheet.
 Milton Stills plays the title role or rather the dual principal character in most appealing manner. MT. Sills' characters represent the most domi- nant individuals ever brought before camera and he makes the most of every scene, reaching dramatic possi- bllltles which should elevate him to position few others might occupy. ln all of his many interesting screen plays Stills has never had role which demands so much of his histrionic ana so much of his physical self, and ne rises to every occasion.
 Judged as a whole it does not seem amlss to place "The Sea Hawk" with the six best pictures of the screen for general entertainment, quality, big surprises and deep rooted sincerity and achievement it surpasses any thing that it might be considered with in considerable length of time.

 ENCE OF HOME BREW
LONG SEARCH ENDED
Under Surveillance for Some Months Chief Lannina Finally Gets
 Alleged Moonshiner

Reputed to be the mysterious source from which liquor has flowed for many months, Jack Crook was taken into custody Yesterday afternoon by Chief of Police Martin Lanning on a charge of violating the dry enforce ment law. He was haled before U. s. Commissioner Curtis R. Morford where he entered plea of not guilty It is expected his trial will take place today.
 According to the arresting officer he has been on the alert for months in an attempt to locate the source of supply to a number of places in Sew ard. He alleges that with the arrest of Crook the problem is solved and will bring to halt the illicit traffic.
 Obtains Bottles
 Driving up to the cabin in which Crook lived on Fifth street near Ad- ans, Chief Lanning knocked at the front and rear doors of the dwelling, in which all shades were drawn. No response was received until the Chief called out for Crook to open the door. In the meantime the rattle and clink of bottles and glasses was heard in side the building. Other members of the dry squad went to the rear of the dwelling just in time to receive a large paper bag full of pint bottles containing what was purpOrted to be beer, which was being thrust out of the window by one of the inmates. A moment later one of the doors was opened by Crook who was immediate ly placed under arrest. In the kitchen sitting on chairs and couch were ous stages of intoxication. Empty beer bottles and glasses were distrib- uted about the room in profusion. On the stove was large wooden tub partly filled with whitish, liquid sub- stance
 Fail to Locate Cache
 The men were told to disburse after which close search of the house was made. The rooms were gone over thoroughly but failed to reveal any signs of liquor cache. Carpets were lifted from the floor and the ceilings were gone over carefully with the idea trap door might lead the officers to hiding place, but nothing was found, with the exception of the pack age passed out of the window.

SMOKING IN BED
BURNED TO CRISP
Berryville Carpenter Meets Death
While Alone In Home

Nnfie Alone In Home
Thomas Hefiin. a well known
young carpenter, of Berryville
Clarke County, was burned to death
shortly before midnight Saturday
night, in fire which consumed his
home. Just how the house caught
on fire is not known, as the man was
alone in the place at the time
If Mrs. Helm, his wife, had not
decided to take their five children
and go to spend Saturday and Sun
day with her brother, it is likely
they. too, may have been victims of
the fire.
The blaze was discovered about
1880 O'Clock Saturday night by De
Witt Smedley, who was on his way
home to the B. B. Jones farm, Aud
ley He saw the house in flames.
but in order to reach the place, he
had to walk nearly a mile When
he reached the spot, the entire build
ing was enveloped in flames, and it
was impossible to go near it.
House Completely Destroyed
He gave the alarm and a large
number of people were summoned
to the scene. By this time the house
had burned down and upon search
ing the still smoking ruins, the body
of Mr. Hefiin, burned to crisp. was
discovered in the middle or bed
room. lying in what had been his
bed
1t is believed that Mr.. Hefiin had
retired for the night and was smok-
ing in bed when he fell asleep and
that his cigarette ignited the bed.
Smoke from the blaze is thought to
have suffocated him before his body
was consumed.
