NEW DOCTOR FOR CAMP

As a result of efforts made by
 President Thomas and memb-
 CTS of the Chamber of Com
 merce, Hyder will in all prob-
 ability, soon enjoy the advant- ages of having resident phy- Isician. The prospective assuag-
 CT of pains and other disturb ances in our various interior
 departments is Dr. Daniel E.. Standard, formerly of Warren | ton, Oregon, who is recom- mended as an able and experi- enccd physician and surgeon.
 In response to the local efforts to induce him to come here, Dr. Standard wired MT. Thomas a few days ago that he had de- Icided to take up practice here
 and was then on his way to Juneau to procure the necess- ary authority to practice from the Territorial Medical Board :; after which he would come to Hyder as soon as possible.
 In announcing the physicians determination, MT. Thomas said that an effort is being made to have Dr. Standard ap- pointed Marine physician for this port. As Hyder is a port of entry and, furthermore, being also situated on the Information
 al boundary on an established avenue of intercourse between the United States and Canada, it is believed that the appoint ment can be secured. The mat ter is to be taken up with Del egate Sutherland and the vari- Ious government departments concerned.

CONGRESS ABOLISHES
 THE POSITION OF
 SURVEYOR GENERAL.

The position of Surveyor Gen. |eral has been abolished and that branch of the land ser- vice has been dropped by the Department of the Interior ac- cording to a telegram received by Surveyor General Karl. Thiele. According to the ad- vices the office of Surveyor General will cease to exist af- ter June 30, not only in Alaska but throughout the United States. Owing to the fact that in Alaska the office of Survey or General is also combined with the office of Secretary of the Territory by special act of Congress, insofar as the Ter itory is concerned, the latter of flee appears to have been also thrown into the discard, unless retained in a special enactment passed for the purpose. Wheth- CT any action has been taken to perpetuate the secretaryship was not indicated in the mess age to Mr. Thiele.

PEACE RIVER REPORT
 NOT YET PRESENTED

The report of the Canadian railway heads relative to the proposed Peace River railway project has not yet been pre- |sented to the Railway minister, according to late information from the south. The report of the executives is now consid- erably overdue, according to an Ottawa dispatch of recent date, which says:
 It is understood that the en- gineers who have investigated the situation are favorable to a plan which would extensive ly utilize the Edmonton and Dunvegan road, but doubts are entertained whether the heavy cost which a new line through the mountains would involve could be justified.
 If a line there should be built, the Monkman Pass, being the shortest, is said to be favored.
 Having regard, however, to .Alberta's extensive investment in the Edmonton and Dunveg- an line, and the desire that the c. P. R., lessee of that line, should share in the northern development, the plans favor ed would give that line con- siderable predominance in the development. It is not yet clear that any proposals the engi- 'neers make are sanctioned by the two executives, and this may be a factor in delaying the report, details of which will not be available until it is received.

James Freeburn, a prominent
 Northern mining man and formerly one of the owners of the famous Chichigoff mine,
 naid rhe camp a flying visit
 during the stay of the Prince of Wales last week. MT. Free
 burn came from Ketchikan in company with H. c. Strong, lof the Riverside mine and paid Ia visit to that noted property during his stay.
 In expanation of his visit MT.
 Freeburn stated that he was here to look over the country.
 Rumor, however, connects him
 with 3 reported deal involvinp
 the Riverside properties, with
 MT. Freeburn alleged to be acting in the capacity of rep 'resentative of the Guggenheim
 interests. Whether this is so or hot could not be ascertained,
 although the rumor is given a certain amount of color by the temporary closing down of the mine almost immediately after his visit to the property.
 He returned to Ketchikan on |the Wales Friday evening.

In a recent letter, w. R. Nc Donnell, whose inventive abil- ity has been demonstrated by Ia new type of auto brake that lis now under consideration by several of the leading manu- lecturers, reports that he has developed a new type of oil feed system for automobiles which bids fair to become of wide importance in the indust- ny. He has obtained pat ents on the device and also one for a new type of cone brake for use on front wheels. Billy is now in the east in connect ion with his original brake for which General Motors is nego- tiating. He says that company has offered to contract to use 32,000 sets of the brakes at a royalty of $5 per set, the indi- cated number to be used yearly for a period of five years. However, they are not inclined to much of a cash payment for the patent and he is in no hur- ry to sign up without a sub- stantial sum down. In fact they do not want to make any cash payment whatever until 1927, when they offer to pay him Ia given sum at tri-monthly in- tervals, commencing March 1, 1927.

Kasson has been offered a contract at $1,000 a week. The amount the others are to receive is not stated but it is said to run into good sized fig ures.

Reports from Wrangell say three outfits bound for the Dease Lake strike are on the Stikine enroute from Wrang- ell to Telegraph Creek and several dozen others are pre- pairing to leave Wfangell for the strike as soon as possible. One party will be composed of Dr. c. D. Carter, Chas. l.. King and Thomas McSmart. They will go to Dome Creek. where they will first build a cabin and then begin operations. They expect to go to bedrock and find out what they have before spring.
 The Wrangell Sentinel says life in Wrangell this winter is very different from what it has been in former years. With dog teams more in evidence than since the days of the great gold rush, Wrangell re- sembles Nome or Iditarod with the teams leaving daily for the Cassiar.

SECOND PAYMENT
 MADE ON SPIDER

The inauguration of extensive development work on the Spid- CT group of claims is anticipat- ed as a result of the payment by the bondholders of the sec ond installment of $25, ,OOO, due under the option agreement. News of the transaction be- came public few days ago and has created much interest in local circles.
 The group, of which William Hamilton and Chas. Larsen, are the owners, comprises 6 claims and lies along the east side of Cascade Creek, north of Long Lake and 8 short dis tance east of the Silver Crest. Those acquainted with the property assert that it is un- questionably one of the most promising in the district. Ex- tensive development work done by the owners in earlier years includes something like 900 feet of tunnel and other underground work which has developed a number of leads said to carry values far above the local average, principally in silver. Some of the finest specimens of native silver bear ing ores ever seen in the dis trict are found on the proper ty.

RIVERSIDE MINE
 CLOSED DOWN:
 DEAL RUMORED

Presaging what is believed in many quarters to be either an impending change in owner ship or merger which may involve other properties in the same locality, the Riverside mine, most highly developed mining property in the Amer ican section of the Portland Canal district closed down Sat- urday in response to instruct ions received by General Man. ager J. D. Littlepage from Messrs. Barber and Strong, owners of the property in as sociation with the Black inter- ests, of Seattle.
 The exact reason for the un- expected development is ap- parently unknown to anyone here. Manager Littlepage him. self professes to be as much in the dark as anyone and asserts that the order came as a com plete surprise. Adding still further to the mystery is the fact that the instructions to close down the mine and mill came in less than twelve hours after the departure of H. C.. Strong, who visited the mine Friday, during the stay of the Ketchikan mail boat. As far as can be learned MT. Strong made no mention of any inn pending change in the normal situation.
 As the mine is definitely known to have been yielding excellent returns from operat- ions, with ore values increasing with almost every foot of prog ress, it is highly probable that the shutdown portends either a change in ownership or a combination with other inter- ests. This view is enhanced by the visit of James Freeburn, noted Northern mining man and former owner of the Chi chigoff mine, who came over from Ketchikan- in company with MT. Strong and is said to have inspected the mine with what appeared to be more than a cursory interest.
 The only definite thing con- corning the future of the mine that can be ascertained is that the suspension of activities is expected to continue for about ten days.

GENERAL SURVEY OF POWER PLANT
 SITE UNDER WAY

P. R. Backus, c. E. and
 party of four, including c. J.
 Davis, Noel Traversy, Ernest
 Jones and George Bum, left
 Sunday for Soule Glacier Creek in connection with a
 more extensive survey of the power production possibilities than has been heretofore made.
 The work will be particular ly directed to determining the drainage area and other tech |nical features of the second or upper dam site section, which will form the most inn Iportant power supply and stor- age unit of the proposed hy- dro-electric plant. This portion of the project has not been sur veyed up to the present, prior investigations having been di- Irected principally to securing measurements of the stream flow and to general examinat- ion of water supply and stor- age conditions. The present survey is planned to secure more extensive data from which definite computations can be mado nrd 'ui""e dnve..- opment calculations drawn.
 The party expects to return to town Friday.

 Hyder, Alaska
 Gentlemen:
 We thank you for your order of recent date, which leaves Seattle today. Your instructions were to ship this by the first boat to Hyder. but from all information we could get here in Seattle. it would be many months before a boat would go direct to Hy- der. They told us that there is a boat leaves several times week for Hyder from Ketch- ikan, and assured us that there would be no delay in getting the goods to you. We thought perhaps you might need the goods right away, so shipped them today as above.
 We trust they will reach you in good condition. but if they do not will you kindly let us know.
 Yours very truly.
