Mr.. Deadbeat:
Dear Sir

RYDER, ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2S, 1925
COLD SPELL HITS THE
 ENTIRE TERRITORY

Temperatures ranging as low as ten degrees minus have marked the cold snap which has held the district in it's icy clutch during the greater part of the past week. Coupled with the cold, winds bearing the chill of the many glaciers along the upper reaches of the Bear and Salmon river valleys have kept the local coal barons busy dealing out the black dia- at alto them-most grat- flying rate and made the lee side of a hot stove seem about the most desirable spot in the uppr Portland Canal district.
 The cold spell is apparently the tail end of a great cold wave that swept over the en- tire territory. Reports from the interior since January 22 dis close temperatures lower than in many years at various places in the Yukon valley and along the lower Alaska coast. 68 be- low was registered in the Tana- na section during the past week, and Juneau, and other points in that locality have ex- perienced unusually low tenn peratures.

RIVERSIDE MILL IS
 WORKING SMOOTHLY

Arrivals from the upper val ley report that the new mill at the Riverside mine is running along in fine shape, with the machinery working splendidly despite the fact that everything in the plant is new and scarce broke in to the grind of every day action and the smoothness of operation that comes only with use.
 The homely phrase of re- cent wayfarer aptly expresses the sentiment of the commun- ity over the successful culmin- ation of the long and difficult task of bringing the mine to 8 profitable stage of develop ment. Ut looks mighty good" he said, ''to see that mill grind ing away up there. It sure looks like going ahead"
 Assuredly it does; and with with the Daly Alaska, River view and other properties fast approaching the status of pro- ducers it requires no special gifts of precedence to foresee the day when the Salmon val ley will resound to the rumble of many mills. Two are here now and the others will not be long coming.

SALE OF DUNWELL
 BELIEVED CERTAIN

The work of sampling the Dunwell ore bodies is proceed ing energetically under the di- reetion of H. c. White, assay CT, according to Stewart visit ors.
 The crew is working at pres ent in the third level, where the most extensive deposits were uncovered during the past years operations. The sampling work is expected to continue for several weeks be- for completion.
 Rumors of an impending sale of the property are still rife but appear to be based on noth- ing tangible. Those who claim to know are a unit in asserting that the question of whether or not the property will be sold has not been decided and will probably not be settled until the next meeting of the dirct- OTIS. They say, however, that it is practically certain that 8 sale vii be decided upon for various reasons.

M. R. Jamieson received a telegram Thursday conveying the sad news that his brother, Dr. Sidney Jamieson, died sud- denly at his home in Sidney, New South Wales, following a stroke of paralysis.
 The deceased was aged 6I years and is survived by wid- ow and two children, a son and daughter. Dr Jamieson was a noted figure in the medical world and was in the forerank Iof his profession in Australia.
 During the late war he was requested by the government to take charge of a branch of the medical service and was stationed on the Island of Lem- nos, where he served during the Gallipoli campaign. During the last twenty years Dr. Jam- ieson had worked indefatigue- ably in an effort to find a cure for cancer.

Hunt in the Senate.
 N. o. Hardy, the only sue cessful Democratic candidate on the returns prior to the can- vass, won out over Hern, of Skagway, by 41 votes. There were some reports circulated at one time that the latter might also file a contest but there was nothing to indicate such action at the opening ses- sion of the Board.
 Following the decision, the board requested Attorney General Rustgard to give an opinion as to whether it had power to examine and pass upon the validity of individ- ual ballots. Six questions in all bearing upon the boards pow CTS to determine the legality of election proceedings were asked of Mir. Rustgard, who, in a lengthy opinion returned later, expressed the view that the Territorial Canvassing Board has no right or power to  canvass individual ballots, it's duty being confined to the purely clerical function of tot aling the vote cast at the vari- ous precincts, as certified to by the judges of election.
 Included among the charges that will probably ke made by MT. Grigsby is one against the Kaasan vote, that no pYovis- ions for privacy in voting were made, no booths having been prepared. Other precincts in which irregularities are said to have occurred are Rake, Klawock, Hoonah, Killisnoo, Angoon, Sitka, Chilkat, and others. In practically all the instances noted the native vote formed either a major portion or a large part of the vote cast.

B. C. STRIKE UPSETS
 PREVIOUS THEORIES
 ON ZONE LOCATION

Nothing of a definite charac- ter can be learned regarding the strike made on the B. C.. Silver during the course of diamond drilling operations some weeks ago.. From such meager facts as can be ascer- tained it appears that the re- ported strike was made in a drill hole extending in north westerly direction from the No. 2 tunnel, which extends in a general easterly and westerly direction close to the northern border of the Premier proper ties. The new ore body is said to have been encountered at an elevation of 20O0 feet. The ore zone on the level of contact is approximately 200 feet in width and is said to carry high values over a considerable DOT tion of it's width. The format- ion is described as a mineral ized porphry of a hard, almost quart-like character. The find is said to have upset previous views of the owners regarding the northely extension of the high grade ore zone found on the Premier. Owing, it is said, to the discovery of what ap- peared to be the Premier ore zone in a cross cut close to the Premier boundary early in 1923, it was the view that the z' ne ext | G.; l. derably to the east vi w'.:ro the recent d.. covery lndi"a = Proceed on this assuE'. 'p1 the tuGnel known as N' : was run, but nothing ); consequence was encountered. The late discov- cry indicates that the zone lies in a direction exactly opposite to that in which it was origin ally expected to run.

 The editor of the KetchiEan Chronicle has taken up cud gels against the rent hogs which he asserts infest that city. He alleges that some of the landlords of the town are charging outrageous rentals for shacis which in mott towns in Alaeka would not be considered fit for pigsties, or words to that effect. This, he alleges, is driving many would-be residents from the first city.

CONTEST OF 1ST DIV.
 ELECTION LOOMS

ion in the Alaska legislature were foreshadowed at the op- ening of the biennial session of the Territorial Canvassing board at Juneau, when s. Hell lenthal, of the law firm of Hell Ilenthal & Hellenthal, appear led before the board before it formally began it's work and requested on behalf of George IB. Grigsby, of Ketchikan, former Attorney General and Delegate to Congress, that the board leave canvassing of the votes of this division until last in order to allow him time to get to Juneau, according to the Juneau Empire, which proceeds in substance as fol- lows;
 This request was granted, all members of the Board, con- .senting to the procedure.
 Since the final outcome of |the election was definitely known, in fact before that time, when reports were cur- rent of alleged irregularities at certain precincts and of widespread illegal voting, ru- mors have been prevalent that some of the seats won, on the face of the returns, by the Hunt-Paul combination which captured the Republican nom- nations last April, would be contested. The fact that Mir. Grigsby will appear before the Board and be present during the canvass of the vote of this Division apparently makes it certain that contests will be staged.
 How many seats will be con- tested has not been indicated. Three members of the House and Senate receiving votes sui ficient to elect if all of them were legally cast were mem bers of the so-called Hunt Paul combination. Forest J. Hunt of Ketchikan, received 269 more votes than N. R. Walker, Democrat, also of Ketch hikan. w., D. Grant, of Wrangell, on the Hunt-Paul ticket was high man in the House race receiving 2,384, or 1,040 more than James Nc Closskey, low man on the Democratic ticket.
 It is virtually certain that a contest will be made against seating W. L. Paul, J. J. Con nor, being the contestant. The latter was but 29 votes behind Paul on the complete unoffic- Iial returns. Chris Christensen, Iof Petersburg, who received 1866 votes, was but 132 votes behind Paul and POT lower than c. B. Ferguson, the other member of the Paul combinat- ion. It is possible that the con-
 
 tests filed will include Fer rnsnn's seat and that If MT

workers, according to 3 report by ".
Z. Hutcheson, general president Of the
Brotherhood Of Carpenters, on his re-
turn from the convention Of the In
trenational Union Of Woodworkers at
Brussels, Belgium.
Practically all Of these workers have
the eight-hour day and the 48-hour
week. Great Britain alone has the
Saturday half holiday, said President
Hutcheson.
ssThe scale OF wages" he said
svafies IN the different countries.
Belgium has an average scale Of four
francs per hour, or 20 cents in our
money. In Germany it averages about
80 pfennigs, approximately 20 cents in
our money. The scale in France is
four and one-half francs, or about the
same as Belgium, while in Great Brit
ain they receive one shilling eight
pence, or about 40 cents United States
money. Reports from the various
countries show that conditions of em-
ployment, with few exceptions, were
very poor"
President Hutcheson said that cit
would be helpful and beneficial to
have it known among the various
woodworkers Of Europe that the Unit
nited Brotherhood Of Carpenters and
Joiners of America was affiliated with
and are a part of their international
Union Of Woodworkers."
