dark they at length conclud- ed that the couple had reach ed the beach. In the meantime, ali unknown to the campers, a fearful tragedy had been enacted on the rock strewn slopes about three-fourths of a mile below. According to Miss Burleigh, MT. Hinckley appeared imbued with the idea of reaching a canyon which earlier observations had shown offered and easy and comparatively safe descent to the beach. Despite the heavy gloom, they were able to see objects close at hand and, finding the footing good, they continued down the slope, assuming that the oth- CTS were coming on behind. During the descent MT. Hinck- ley pointed out to her the dark line of the canyon and stated the belief that if it could be reached they would have no difficulty in gaining the beach. Moving cautiously along they finally reached the rim of the canyon and MT.
 -. ..e : ~se Hinckley stepped forward to reconnoiter, leaving her stand ing a short distance from the edge. She said it was his aim to find an easy place of de- scent into the canyon. She watched him go out upon what appeared to be a slightly slop- ing mass of rock until he reached a point where a small tree threw out its branches over the brink. Up to this point he appeared to be safe
 but on going a step or two farther he apparently lost his footing on a sleeper sur face and started to slide downward. Evidently realizing

WONDERFUL NEW
 STRIKE ON B. C. SILVER

An ore shoot 600 feet long and carrying the highest val ues of any ore so far encount- cred on that property was dis covered Monday on the E. C.. Silvr according to reports reaching town on Tuesday. Owing to the news inhibitions placed upon the officials, q confirmation cannot be obtain ed at this time. It is reliably stated, however, that the strike is one of the most won derful discoveries so far made in the district.

RICH STRIKE ON
 OUTLAND BAR

A massive vein of ore carry ing high values in gold and silver was encountered Mon- day on the Outland Silver Bar properties on the west border of Salmon Glacier, according to reliable reports from that section.
 The new ore body is said to be about 12 feet in width, and carries a wide vein of solid high grade ore. Samples are said to range from $67.50, the lowest obtained, to $350 a ton.
 Full details of the strike are lacking, although it appears to have been made in a new tun- mel started a week or two ago to cross cut an hitherto unex- plored surface showing.

BORDER GROUP BONDED
 BY OUTSIDE PARTIES

The Border Group, owned by Lon. R. Doggett, will shortly become the scene of large scale development work in the event that the plans proposed by Messrs. Martin Welch, c. T. Quayle and M. R. Czsewski, are brought to successful com pletion under the terms of a 60-day option given by MT. Doggett during the past week. The bond agreement is said to involve total payments of $20- 900. It is also understood that the bond holders contemplate the early installation of a com pressor and other equipment and will thereafter inaugurate a program of intensive devel- opment work.
 The Border group is made of two claims and is located on the boundary line at 13-Mile and a short distance from the Premier. The group dis plays a number of very prom ising showings on which con- siderable development work, including a 90-foot tunnel, has been done by MT. Doggett in earlier years.
 Martin Welch, who was chief " instrumental in negotiating the deal, is one of the owners of the Mineral Hill Group, ad- joining the Big Missouri and is we'll known to local mining men. Messrs. Qnavie and Czsewski are new arrivals in the district and are said to rep resent San Francisco capital. Since their arrival in the dis trict, they have inspected a number of properties, includ- ing the Domino group on Aug ust Mountain, and also visited the Big Missouri.

NEW HIGH GRADE
 DEPOSIT FOUND
 ON BIG MISSOURI

Reports from the Big Mis- souri announce the recent dis covery of a new body of high grade silver-lead ore on the Terminus claim. The vein is said to be located some dis tance above the fine ore body previously found on the Ter minues property and apparent ly is a distinct deposit, the ores being of widely varying char acter.
 Owing to the short time elaps- ing since the discovery, little is known regarding the extent of the new deposit or the val ues carried, although it re. quires no more than a glance to determine that the ore is undoubtedly of shipping grade.
 Samples from the lead seen the Herald representative were solid masses of steel galena with an intermingling of chalcopyrite and were dis tinctly spectacular in appear ance. The vein is said to be six feet or more in width, and o1 practically solid ore through out.
 The vein of rich gold ore found last fall by Pat Daily in the old Mann tunnel has also been located at greater depth in the new tunnel, known as the Shown tunnel, on which work has been in progress fol some time. The vein is said to have been encountered Tues day night.
 The latter discovery is of wide importance as it indicates the downward continuity of high grade ore found in the Mann tunnel.

his danger he attempted to grasp a limb of the small tree. But for the fact that he was holding a small prospector's pick in one hand, she believes he would have been able to save himself. Unfortunately he was unable to gain a suffici- ently strong hold to check his progress and a second later plunged swiftly downward and disappeared from view. All she could see was a trail of sparks from his nail shod shoes, grating along the rocky slope with ever increasing speed as he shot down the al- most precipitous slope below. A moment later and the only sign of his swift descent into the rock strew depths was the hollow rattle of loose stones against the jutting rocks. There was. no outcry from the unfortunate man as he crashed into the rocky depths.
 Although badly frightened by the sudden catastrophe, Miss Burleigh managed to re- tain her presence of mind sufficiently to avoid running out on the treacherous rock and, after a short period of alternately calling and listen ing for an answer, decided that her unfortunate compan- ion must be badly hurt and in need of assistance. Spurred by the thought and totally for getful of the dangers attend ing any attempt to reach the canyon floor in the dark, she nevertheless sought and final ly found a way into the depths below. Fortunately she en- countered a spot where slide had deposited considerable soft earth and by alternately

The recently inaugurated dia- mond drilling operations on the Cantu group are reported to have been greatly retard- ed lately by lack of water.

MISSING MAN
 BELIEVED DEAD

ACoNN~h AS0ti LII CIC CWllI- running glacial waters of Mass River is now believed by his friends to have been the fate of John s. (Cyclone) Burndgen who disappeared on the after non of July 22, while enroute from the Troy group to his cabin on Tide Lake, to keep an appointment with F. k. Jancowski of Stewart and John Campbell of Hyder.
 During the interval since Burndgen dropped from sight a dozen or more people have been over the Tide Lake trail but have been unable to learn anything of his whereabouts. Burndgen has not reported at any of the camps between Tide Lake and the boundary line and as more than three weeks have lapsed since he left the Troy there is hardly a prospect that he could have survived so long without sus- tenance or shelter.
 Proceeding on the theory that the missing youth might have made his way down the Chickamin River and thence via Behm Canal to Ketchikan Deputy Marshal T. w. Me, Donald recently wired the Marshal's office at that point. but was advised that Burnd. gen had not appeared there. It has also been determined that the note left by Burndger in the Benson cabin, appar- ently July 26 or 27 probably was not written on either of those dates. As reported last week, the message in question was addressed to Roy Priest and informed the lat ter that Wm. Tolin wanted him (Priest) to take a tent tc August Mountain for the ac- commodation for himself and an engineer.
 It has since developed that this information would have been quite useless to MT Priest if written on the pur. ported dates, as MT. Tolin wa. enroute to August Mountain at the time Burndgen left the Troy. As this fact was known As this fac; was known t.. to Burndgen it appears practic- ally certain that he left the note at the Benson cabin on the day of his disappearance and while on the way to keep his appointment with Mr. Jan cowski and Mr. Campbell.
 As result of this finding il appears that Burndgen, after leaving the Troy, proceeded to the Benson cabin, where he left the note, and then con, tinued on toward his own cap- in, situated on the Lake :. short distance beyond the Ben son place and also beyond the Mass River. What happened thereafter may remain forever matter of conjecture. It ap- pears probable, however, thal Burdgen may have attempted to ford the river at danger ous point and was swept away.
 Evidently realizing the futil- ity of further search for the missing man, the Canadian authorities have advised his relativess~who reside at Mime, apolis.
 This belief is enhanced by the fact that shortly after

E. w. HINCKLEY KILLED
 IN MOUNTAIN FALL


 Hinckley, local immigration inspector and a prominent fig ure in the social and business activities of the community, lost his life early Monday morning by falling into can- yon on the granite slopes o1 the great bald peak known as Mt. Lincoln, which raises its lofty head a short distance west of town. The fall which resulted in Mir. Hinckley's death occurred about 10:30 Sunday evening while he was engaged in piloting a party of eight young people down the mountain, after they had climbed to the summit earlier in the day. The party, consist ing of Thelma Burleigh, Grace Kirkland, Lillian Stewart, MT. Hinckley, Hubert Thomas, Bar ry Blue, Robt. Sutton and Wen dell Fehring, had arranged to climb the mountain if the weather was clear in company with Attorney Ernest Blue, who wished to obtain pano- ramic views of the surround ing district from the summit. On arising Sunday morning and finding the nearly 5000 foot peak was shrouded in fog, Mir. Blue decided not to make the trip and warned some of the others not to at tempt it if fog remained on the mountain.
 The remainder of the party proceeded down the Canal about two miles in the Silver Heels and landed a short dis tance below Salmon Point. The place of landing is practically at the foot of Mt. Lincoln. By the time the party arrived the fog bank along the mountain side was beginning to raise and members of the party say they decided to follow it up in the hope of reaching the peak. Progress was slow at first owing to the fog but the party eventually reached the crest about 6 p. m. Sunday evening.
 After a short stay on the summit, they started down but although good progress was made, they were still several miles from the beach when overtaken by darkness. The going was fairly good;. how ever, and as all were anxious to get home they pressed on for a time with the aid of a flashlight. How long this con- tinued no one appears to know with certainty but at length Inc flashlight ceased to funct- ion and the expedition was confronted with the alterna- tive of risking the dangers of continuing in the dark or passing the night on the mountain. At this juncture MT. Hinckey and Miss Burleigh were a short distance in ad- vance of the rest and appar- ently failed to understand the calls of their companions when the latter wisely decided to camp for the night, about 10 D. m. After vainly attempting to recall MT. Hinckley and his companion, the rest of the party proceeded to build a big fire and prepare lunch and coffee, but continued to call at intervals for some time, honinO that MT. Hinckley and
