ADANAC COMPANY TO
 OPERATE LOCALLY

The Adanac Mines Company of Alaska has been formed in Vancouver to take over and operate the local holdings of the Adanac Mining and De- velopment Syndicate in the Fish Creek area, according to articles of incorporation filed in the office of the Territorial Secretary. The principal cor porate office is located in Vic toria although Hyder is desig- mated as the principal place of business.
 s. H. Stanley, Adolp Brachat, A. G. Sargeson and Wm. J.

ROADS BUREAU REJECTS
 BIDS FOR LOCAL ROAD

Rejecting the bid of Seims and Carlson, Spokane contract ors, on the proposed extension of the Salmon River highway, the Bureau of Public Roads will recommend that the work be done by day labor under the Bureaus own supervision, ac- cording to a recent issue of the Juneau Empire. The bid sub- mitted by Seims and Carlson was for $124,00O, some 25 per cent higher than the Bureaus estimates, which was consid- cred by M. D. Williams, as- sistant district engineer, as be- ing entirely too high.
 Commenting on the rejection of the bid, MT. Williams said it is too late to re-advertise for bids, from 30 to 40 days being required, and although it were possible that lower bids might be rendered, it would then be too late in t'le season to do the work this year.

OLD TIMER DROWNED
 IN BITTER CREEK

Victim of another of the mys- terious fatalities involving a number of Stewart residents during the past year, Murdock Mcleod, we'll known old timer of the district, was drowned in the waters of Bitter Creek some time Saturday evening, according to reports received from Stewart Monday. The body of the unfortunate man was found in the creek Sun- day morning by a search party sent out from the newly estab- lished Bitter Creek road con- struction camp.
 The exact manner in which Murdoch Mcleod met his end will probably remain an eter- nal mystery. He is said to have been engaged with a number of others to work on the Bitter Creek road and was enroute to the proposed camp site with the rest of the road crew, when for some reason he Jagged behind the others after reaching a point near the mouth of Bitter Creek and was not seen again until after his body was located in the chill waters of the creek on the following morning.
 Other members of the party are said to have noticed Me- Leod had dropped behind but continued on to the point se- lected and made camp think ing that he would show up in time. Finding him still absent Sunday morning, a search party was sent out and located the body some distance below the camp. The deceased was aged about 50 years and po- ssessed many friends in the district.

SPEEDING UP

Arrivals from the Riverside mine report an appreciable in- crease of activities, on that well known property during the past week or so. The crew has been increased by the addition of a half dozen new men and new development work is re- ported proceeding at a good pace. A new lead of fine ore is being opened up in the Lindeborg tunel. The vein is said to carry two feet or so of almost solid galena and looks very promising.
 A shipment of 22 tons of con- centrates was forwarded to the Tacoma smelter on the last trip of the Norco, and another is being assembled at the Sal mon River dock.

MOUNTAINVIEW TO
 RESUME ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT SOON

Manager Arthur Moa of the MountainView Gold Mining Company is making prepara- tions to resume active develop ment work on the company properties on Fish Creek with in a brief period. A small crew of men will be employed dur ing the earlier operations, which will be devoted to open cutting and drifting on a num- Der of very promising leads located some distance up the hill from the earlier workings and which cannot be reached from the Skookum Creek tun- nel without considerable ex- pense. It is MT. Moa's intention to lay an air line up the hill and determine the extent and continuity of the upper leads by surface work and short cross cut tunnels, after which, if they are found to go down, the Skookum drift will be ex- tended to cut them at depth.

PRIMARY VOTE WAS
 LICHTEST ON RECORD

With practically ninety per cent of all voting precincts reported, returns from the re- cent primary election disclose that the vote in all parts of the Territory was the smallest ever cast in an Alaskan cleo ton. The Territorial neWspap- CTS are practically a unit in ascribing the light vote to the lack of interest on the part of administration republicans, owing to the absence of a reg ular party candidate on the ticket in opposition to the so- called anti-administration can didates represented by the Sutherland-Paul faction. Ad- ministration republicans in all four divisions are said to be supporting the candidacy of Thomas A. Marquam, who will appear as an independent candidate for delegate to Con- gress at the November cleo tion, and, consequently, found no interest in the primary.
 Sutherland carried the pri- mary contest for delegate by at least two to one majority over both Aldrich and Mccain, the returns so far received in- dicating he will have approxi- mately 2900 votes to an ap- proximate 1900 for both his opponents when all the returns are in.
 A noticeable feature of the returns from the First Division is that all precincts with a large Indian population voted full strength, rolling up large majorities for the Sutherland Paul ticket candidates, who defeated all opposing candi- dates by overwhelming ma jorities.
