MOUNTAINVIEW TRAM
 IS COMPLETED

The new 1400-foot ore tram of the Mountainview Gold Mining Company has been completed under the direction of Manager Arthur Moa, who is now on his way to Seattle to arrange for the shipment of the new mine machinery con- tracted for last winter. The tram with it's attendant tele- phone system runs from the mine entrance on Skookum Creek to a point about 1900 feet from the Salmon River road.
 The mine crew is now pre- pairing to construct a new building to house the big com pressor which arrived on the Curacao.

CUTTING SCRAPE AT
 STEWART WHARF

Two negro employees of the stewards department on the steamer Curacao engaged in a drunken altercation on the Stewart dock while the steam was discharging a quantity of hay for the Premier Monday evening, with the result that one of them stabbed the other in the neck with a pocket knife, inflicting a severe tho not fatal wound. The injured man was hurried to Dr. Stand ards office where it was found that the knife blade had pene- trated to within a sixteenth of inch of the jugular vein. The wound was patched up and the victim was able to return to the ship. The knife wielder was taken into custody by the Canadian authorities but is understood to have been freed when it was found that the other mans wounds were not serious.

PUBLIC ROAD BUREAU
 CHIEF VISITS RYDER

M. D. Williams, who recent ly succeeded c. w. Cheatham as assistant district engineer of the Bureau of Public Roads, arrived in Hyder on the Bur eau boat Highway early Fri day morning to inspect the work done on the Salmon Riv- CT road last year by Stems and Carlson and also to look over present construction and main enance work. Mir. Williams stated that the Bureaus re- cent allotment of $43,O00 for local road work does not mean new appropriation. The in- dicated amount represents the sum appropriated to meet the cost of the improvements called for under the Stems & Carlson contract, which will be completed this year. No funds are available for new work this year. However, the Bureau will spend approxi- mately $10,000 for the care and upkeep of the present road between the dock and the boundary line. In addition a small sum is available which will be used to survey an ex- tension of the road from the vicinity of the bridge at Nine, Mile to the boundary line.
 MT. Williams was accompan- jed from Juneau by Mrs. Will jams, R. c. Ingraham, engin- ger of the Bureau of Public Roadss, who will be the resi- dent engineer of the Bureau during the summer, and Mrs. Ingraham, who will remain in Hyder with her husband.
 MT Williams expects to re- turn to Hyder in connection with his duties in about 30 days.

B. C. MINISTER
 OF MINES A VISITOR

Hon. Wm. Sloan, Minister of Mines for the Province of British Columbia, arrived Sun day on the Prince Rupert to look into various matters con nected with his department. The noted visitor will spend a week in the district for, the purpose of securing data and information which will be used as a badis for governmental activities looking to the devel- opment of the mines on the B. c. side of the line. This will include not only measures di- rected toward assisting actual mining operations but will al- so embrace road construction and other activities calculated to promote more extensive de- velopment. Among the chief matters in this line that will be taken up by MT. Sloan dur ing his stay will be the pro- posed construction of a road up the Marmot river.

WILL DEVELOP
 OUTLAND GROUP

F. c, Outland, of Seattle, an old timer of the district and owner of the Outland Silver Bar group in the upper Sal mon section, arrived on the Prince Rupert prepared to do a large amount of develop ment work with a view to placing the property on a pro- ductive basis. Work will .con- tinue throughout the summer with Mir. Outland personally directing operations and a crew of miners employed.
 Although one of the earlier locations and known to contain excellent potentialities, the property has been idle during the past couple of years, ow- ing, Mir. Outland states, to difficult transportation condit- ions combined with other t.e- terring. factors. Now, howev- CT, with improved mining con- ditions and better transportat- ion at hand, Mir. Outland and bis associates have decided to go ahead and open up the property. The summer pro- gram. includes securing crown grants on what MT. Outland terms "the ragged edges" of the group, which includes a large block of claims, and a large. amount of open cut work on the various surface showings, some of which carry exceptionally high values, with a view to tunneling operations when the character and trend of the ore bodies is better de- termined. Development work done in earlier years includes a number of open cuts and a short tunnel. The group is sit uated near the junction of Sal 
 mon and Chickamin glaciers, east of and adjoining the FL Dorado properties.

NEW LEAD FOUND
 ON INDEPENDENCE

Details of the recent strike on the Independence disclose that the reported develo~m ment includes the discovery of new or "blind" lead running at right angles to the known vein system and with no v1s- ible signs of its presence on the surface. According to s. P. Fitzgerald, managing director of the company, the vein was encountered in a cross cut from the main drift about ATS feet from the portal and at 8 vertical depth of 300 feet. The ore differs widely in ap- pearance from any heretofore found on the Independence. The new ore body was found as a result of drifting through a dyke which runs along the rim of a 3-foot vein of ore that was being explored aE the time. The strike is appar- ently of considerable import ance as opening a new field of possibilities for the property.

AYDER EVENS SCORE
 WITH STEWARTITES

The Hyder baseball team,
 against whom old Lady Luck
 seemed lately to have acquir- ed a deep-seated grudge, has apparently regained her favor and as 8 result the Stewart ball club is wearing mourning over a IA to 4 victory of the locals on the Stewart grounds Sunday. Thirteen of the runs were achieved in the first half of the fifth inning, when the Hyderites batted the Stewart fhnger clean out of the box and romped around the dia- mond like spring lambs on a holiday. The Hyder victory again ties the score between the two teams. !,

TEXAS CREEK
 CLEAR OF SNOW

Save for the remains of snow slides in the gulches the Texas Creek trail is practically free of snow to within about four miles of the Chickamin glacier and conditions are in every way favorable for a general resumption of prospecting in that locality, according to Malcolm Smith, who returned Tuesday from trip to the head of the valley. Although considerable snow remains in come of the draws, it is pack ed so hard that it can be safe ly crossed by pack animals and offers no impeachment to travel. The trail is said by Mir. Smith to be in much better condition than last fall and has not been damaged to any extent by the slides. Two pros pecting outfits are already on the ground preparing for sum- mer activities. Hewitt and Carlson are engaged in bu'ld- ing a pack trail from their cabin, a short distance above the government trail, to the Homestake group, about 2500 feet up the slope. Frank Blash- CT is packing in about a hall ton of supplies to his proper ties near the end of Chicka- min Glacier, where he will do considerable prospecting.

WORK PROGRESSING ON
 THE PORTER IDAHO

Work on the. Porter Idaho continues to make excellent progress, according to the lat est information from that high grade property, and a stream of ore will soon be coming down the hill enroute to the shelter. Sinking operations are continuing on the high grade zone from. which shipments were made last year and the shaft is now down about forty feet. The high grade is being sorted and: sacked in readiness for shipment as soon as trail conditions permit. Work on the new tunnel has slowed up some extent during the past week owing to the contractors encounteripg harder going. The tunnel is now in something over ITO feet, with approM- mately two-thirds of that dis tance yet to go before the vein is encountered.
Hyder weekly herald., 1925-06-10

Ray Snyder and Dan Wood more are continuing their tun- nel on the Ninty-six group, on Mineral Hill, having failed to strike the vein as soon as ex- pected. The ledge, which ap- peared from surface indicat- ions to have dip of about 40 degrees east, has apparently flattened out considerably be- fore reaching the tunnel level, as they are now past the polnt where the vein would have been intersected had it main tained the same degree of pitch. They expect to pick up the ore within ten feet or so of the present face. The vein at the. surface is three feet or so in width and is heavily min eralized, galena being the pre- dominating element.

WAGON ROAD FOR
 MARMOT SECTION

Miners of the Marmot River section are rejoicing in the an- nouncement of Hon. .Wm. Sloan, chief of the B. c. De- partment of Mines, that the department has approved the construction of a wagon road from the mouth of the Marmot to the forks and will start con struction work thereon at an early date.
 MT. Sloan, who is at present in the district made the trip to the Marmot Monday and visited various properties, see ing for himself the transport. ation difficulties confronting the men who are attempting to develop that undoubtedly rich section. After looking ov- CT the country he announced that the installation of a wag- on road along the indicated route was warranted by the large shipments of ore from the Porter Idaho last summer as we'll as the ore now being mined for shipment as soon as pack trains can reach the mine. The Department ot Mines will also repair the gov ernment trail as far as the Fraser. Brown and Porter

TEXAS CLAIM OWNERS
 FORM ORGANIZE TON

The Texas Creek Mine Op- orators Association was form ed at a meeting held last week in the Chamber of Commerce building. The main object of the association is to promote in a legitimate way the devel- opment of the Texas Creek section by working for roads, bridges and other facilities, but will not confine its activl- ties to that section alone when it's efforts will be of benefit to the district as a whole. Practically every claim owner in the Texas area was present. Ernest Blue was elected presi- dent and J. A. Hall secretary.
 The meeting was addressed by M. D. Williams, assistant district engineer of the Bureau of Public Roads, who outlined the functions of his depart ment in road improvement matters and called attention to the fact that it is not associat- ed in the trail work of the For estry Service except in an in- direct way. The Forestry de- partment builds only trails opens the way for the real road building activities of the Bureau of Public Roads.
 The Association, at MT. Will jams suggestion, is preparing report on the Texas Creek area showing the advantages that would accrue to that sect ion through the construction of a wagon road up Texas and a bridge at the present cable crossing. The data is to be furnished by the mine owners of that district. The associat- ion is working primarily for the two projects. The report will be sent to MT. Williams and will probably be used as a basis for such future con- sideration as may be given the road needs of that district by his department.

Information received last week by Postmaster Hill to the effect that there would be no Grand Trunk boat last Sunday was evidently much in error, as the old reliable Prince Ru- pert put in her usral appear. ance. As Mir. Hills informat- ion was drawn from a tele- gram from authentic sources, it appears that the message must have developed sundry errors in transmission--a by no means unusual happening in the North, where communi- cation is still in the pioneer stages of development. How ever, there will be a change in the Canadian boat schedule during the present week, com mencing Wednesday, when the Prince George will arrive with a load" of Cincinnatti Shriners and their friends. The same vessel is scheduled to return next Monday, June Is, and again on June 21 and June 27. The Prince Rupert will be withdrawn from the Vancouver-Stewart run during that interval and will not re- turn until July 4th. After that date the Prince Rupert will al- ternate with the Prince George, arriving on Saturdays until fall. The service of the company will also be increas- ed by the addition of the new steamer Prince Charles, which is scheduled to appear for the first time on June 30. and on each successive Tuesday there after.
