Associated With Easter

Two creatures are associated with
the great festival of spring-the ass
because of the cross upon its back and
because 1t was upon an ass that Christ
rode into Jerusalem; and the fish
called the dory, for this is the creature
from whose mouth the silver piece was
taken, and upon either side of whose
head are said to be the marks of the
sacred finger and thumb.

The Hare and the Moon

For many centuries the hare has
been regarded as the symbol of the
moon. The hare feeds by moonlight,
and its young, unlike those OF most
other warm-blooded animals, are born
with their eyes open. Indeed, the old
fable is that the hare never closes its
ewes. In the Egyptian language the
word for hare meant also period OF
% days, or that of lunar menth-

HAZARDS ATTEND TRANSFORMATION OF
 SICK MAN

Suffering from an attack of pneumonia which threatened serious results Martin John, son, a miner employed on the Washington Group on the south fork of the Marmot was brought to town last week by a party composed of four members of the mine crew and six men from town under cir cumstances of the most peri lous character.
 The Washington camp is To- cated at an altitude of $500 or 1000 feet in a particularly rugged section and is reached only by a pack trail, which is difficult to travel under the most favorable circumstances. As the trail is now covered by from two to four feet of soft snow and ice, the task of bringing the sick man to town was not only extremely diff cult but also decidedly hazard ous. Snow slides are frequent along the steep mountainsides and not only added to the diff faculties of transporting the sufferer on a sled, but also en- dangered the lives of the en- tire party. From the stories told by participants it appears that the party sustained sev- eral narrow escapes from slides and falls. The task was finally accomplished after 12 hours of grueling work, and Johnson was safely landed in Stewart hospital.
 The town party was sent out by Dr. H. A. Williams, who had previously visited John son at the mine camp and found his condition such that his removal was imperative.

Recent estimates indicate that the Kennccott Copper Corpo- ration, worlds largest copper producer, will this year in crease it's production by about 39,OOO,000 pounds. This will include the production of it's Alaskan and South American mines, as we'll as the Utah Cop per, but not it's equity in the enlarged Nevada Consolidated or Mother Lode in Alaska. It is expected that production from the indicated sources this year will be around 450,000,- 900 pounds, compared with 411,OOO,000 last year.

THE GAME LAWS

Considerable misapprehen
 on appears to exist locally re- garding hunting and trapping licenses and the requirements of the laws and regulations re- lating to hunting and trapping. There is apparently wide- spread impression that the killing of game animals by residents of the Territory without a license is illegal.
 Neither the act of January 13, 1925, known as the Alaska game law, or the 1926 regu- lations of the Alaska Game Commission require resident citizens to obtain licenses for hunting game animals.
 Regulation 4 of the Alaska Game Commission provides that no residents of the Ter ritory over 16 years of.age, ex- cept native-born Indians or Eskimos, who have not exer- ciged the right of franchise or severed their tribal relations. shall take or attempt to take land fur bearing animals with out first having obtained resident trapping license, for which a fee of $2 is charged.
 All aliens are forbidden to hunt or trap in the Territory or to possess fire arms of any description without obtainino an alien special license, fo- which the fee is S100.
 No resident of the Territory may export any game animal or part thereof, except & lin tied number of trophies for mounting and return to tl1 Territory, but not for sale and to do so must have resident shipping license. A citizen resident of two years standing who is removing from the Territory may also export legally acquired trophies un- der resident shipping license A fee of $1 is imposed for each trophy shipped, for mounting and return and a resident re moving from the Territory is charged $5 for each big game trophy removed.

INTERNATIONAL ELECTRIC REDUCES DIRECTORATE
 TO ONE MEMBER

The annual board meeting of the International Electric Co. was held in Stewart Friday evening and resulted in the adoption of a resolution reduc- ing the membership of the board of directors from five to one and the election of E. R. Workman as the sole director. MT. Workman recently pur- chased a controlling intere st in the enterprise, his holdings in cluding the interests of Mrs. Workman and G. B. Lawre nee.
 As matters now stand MT. Workman holds eighty per cent of the stock and is thus virtually the owner of the eX- tensive and fast growing t'usi- ness. During the past year or so MT. Workman has been To- cated at Anyox and will return there to settle his affairs, afterwards returning to Stew art to take personal control and supervision of the com pany affairs.
 MT. Workman stated to q Lerald representative that fol- lowing his return from Anyox he expects to make a number of improvements on the main feed line from Stewart which will improve the service on this side of the line. Both pow CT plants are in readiness to operate this winter and are to- gether capable of prodI cling about 400 horsepower in elect rical energy.

GIVES DISTRICT GOOD
 BOOST IN ENGLAND

or the RuDy OllVer glVeS the district a splendid boost in an article on mining in British Columbia pr;,lted in the Oct ober 16th issue of the Mining World, and Engineering Rec ord, of London, one of the largest and most influential of British mining journals. He says:
 News has come to hand re- gently of important discover ies at Stewart, Portland Canal, made this season. The great successes of B. c. Silver (Se- lukwe), Premier Gold, Dun- well, Big Missouri, etc, have been incentive to intense pros pecting and much develop ment, though with very little money, on embryo mines.
 National Silver (Sebakwe) is doing very we'll and promises to come up to expectation like the B c. Silver. Big Missouri is another property that prom ises in the near future to reveal great wealth, for those who have had the dogged courage to stay with it. Reports have been received of an important discovery on the Dalhousie mine, which attracted the at tention of wealthy group, who promptly invested 30,O00 lbs. sterling for it's develop ment. A new vein, showing on the surface values in gold and silver, has been discovered on the Ruby Silver. Marmot Met als has uncovered three large, well-defined veins on the east end of the property. The No. l, vein ' to 8 fit. across, the No. 2, IS it. averaging $26.00 across the face, and No. 3 vein 12 it. across. Several instances of this sort could be recounted, and mention should be partic- ularly made as to the develop ment of the Silver Crest, to tn extreme north of the Sal mon River glacier which is said to havse given remark ably high values. Space, how ever, precludes naming any more individual cases in this favoured district, where there are many properties progress ing favourably. As one mining engineer of great and success full operation all over the Con- tinent of America stated: "The future of Portland Canal is eX- ceptionally bright; it's mineral resources and possibilities are not yet fully realised nor known, and 1 look to see the day when the people of this district will number 30,000." Stewart and the Portland Canal district as a whole are on the eve of great, and still, greater, development, carrying them on wave of progress and prosperity that will make them in few short years one of the greatest mining camps on any continent. Those who saw the camp in 1919 and compare it with the progress
 reached today can see two towns, including Stewart, forg- ing ahead and being built up
 on the industry of the district. What will be the result of an
 other five years work with ac- celerated progress, predicted
 as a surety? Already smeIters
 and hydro-electric power stat
 ions have been mentioned.

D|NOsAUR PICTURE NOW
 SHOWING AT LIBERTY

Conan Doyle's fantastic story, "The Lost World" which deals with the hair-raising experiences of a party of English explorers who find a lost country where still roam the bronto- saurus and allosaurus, pterodactyl and other dinosaurs will be shown to- night at the Liberty theatre. The picture, which took more than seven years to film is without doubt the most startling in screen history. Huge reptilian creatures which in- habited the earth 10,000,000 years ago are reincarnated with a realism that is astounding.
 Sharing honors with these fearsome brutes is a galaxy of notable film fav- orites including Bessie Love, Llyod Hughes, Lewis Stone, Wallace Beery, Alma Bennett, Virginia Brown Faire, Arthur Hoyt, Bull Montana, Margaret McWade, Finch Smiles and Jules Cowles.
 "The Lost World" was produced by First National and Watterson R. Rothacker. It was directed by Harry Hoyt and produced under the super vision of Earl Hudson, the author of For Sale," "Sundown," and several lother. recent First National successes. Marion Fairfax wrote the continuity.
