BIG MISSOURI co. TO BUILD MILL
 DURING SUMMER

Confirming earlier reports of large scale development activities contemplated by the Big Missouri Mining Company, during the coming open seas on, authentic advices from the south this week report that the company directors have definitely decided upon the construction of a big reduction plant next summer.
 According to the information received by mail, the project has been definitely decided upon. The advices state that the mill will be of 2OO-tons daily capacity but give no ad- ditional details.
 While the construction of a concentrating plant of a cap- acity equal to that employed until recently by the great Premier mine, would of itself be a development of great inn portance to the Salmon valley district, it is definitely known that the Big Missouri Com pany is contemplating still greater projects in the event that the Big Missouri lives up to present expectations. A project involving the con- struction of big smelter and lead stack is known to have ben the subject of discussion by the officials. This will prob ably be located in the upper Salmon valley at a point that is said to have been tentative ly selected with an eye to the mineral productive possibili- ties of the Texas Creek area as we'll as the numerous high ly potential properties along the boundary line east of Sal mon River.

NEW OWNERS TO WORK FISH CREEK
 COMPANY GROUND

Definite assurances of an early resumption of operations on the Fish Creek properties of the Fish Creek Mining Com pany are contained in a recent announcement of Secretary A. N. Lister, of the American Mining & Milling Go. to the stockholders of the British American Holding and Devel- opment Company, now con- trolled by the American Min ing and Milling Go. MT. Lister says in part:
 You will be interested too, in learning that the American Mining and Milling Go. now have approximately 90 per cent of the stock of the Fish Creek Mining Company, as compared with 63 per cent at the last annual meeting. Further action will be taken to wind up the affairs of the Fish Creek Mining Go.
 "Your directors have a defi- mite assurance that we will proceed at once to finish the present tunnel successfully, ample funds will be forthcom- ing for the complete financing, to point of operations on a large scale. | believe you will agree that your directors have been busy and have made progress. We feel that our organization has been freed of all undesirable influences and that we are in a position to get somewhere out of the impasse in which we have found ourselves for the past two years"

BIG RYDER DISTRICT
 MERGER PLANNED

A mining merger of vast inn portance to the Hyder district is involved in negotiations re- gently instituted in the States between the Daly Alaska Mines Co.,, the Alaska Premier Mining Company and the Me- Grew-Fernald Hobo group owners.
 The interests involved con trol three ofth largest parti- ally developed groups in the Salmon River sction of the Portland Canal district and their combination will make probably the largest individu- al block of mining ground in this locality. The three groups are contiguous and so favor ably situated that they may be exploited to excellent ad- vantage through the Daily Alaska, probably by exten- sions of the present under ground workings on that not ed property.
 The Alaska Premier prop critics, now owned by Bern hard Guggenheim, include 26 claims; the Hobo group, own ed by Wm. McGrew, Edward Fernald and the Ed. Bronson estate, comprises II claims, and the Daly Alaska group, controlled by the Daly Alaska Mines Go, 10 claims. The pro- posed merger would therefore include a total of AZ proper ties.
 Late reports from Seattle in- dicate that preliminary negoti- ations held there some days ago resulted in the various in- terests reaching a preliminary basis of agreement, which may ultimately result in the amalgamation of the proper ties.
 Local parties who are in a position to know the inside facts assert that the outlook for the proposed merger was very favorable at last ac- counts.

POWER co. WILL GIVE
 STREET LIGHT CURRENT

The second phase of the much discussed street light proposal was inaugurated at a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday evening with the appointment of a committee to devise ways and means for installing and main taining 25 lights, at points where they will give the best results. The committee is com posed of E. D. Haddon, Ben Oien and Harry Lyon.
 The discussion developed that the local light company has agreed to provide current for the proposed street lights free of charge, as is done by the International Electric Go. in Stewart and Hyder B. G., conditional upon the citizens of Hyder paying for the cost of installing the lights and all so for their maintenance after installation. Estimates of the cost of installing the 25 lights presented by Secretary Had don, disclosed that about S2OO will be required for the labor and materials involved. The committee will have the task of raising this amount.

RYDER PUBLIC LIBRARY

Lords Beacon Lights of History" one of the most not able historical works of the present century, will soon be added to the list of books in the Public Library. The work comprises 15 volumes and is from the pen of that erudite scholar, Dr. John Lord. It deals with the lives of historic al personages from a novel and interesting standpoint. It is a work that should be read by everyone.
 The Beacon Lights were pur- chased with the library funds by John Hovland, who is lend ing the library invaluable as- sistance in securing new books of merit.
 James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor and founder of Moose heart, is also sending to the Library as a donation his two- volume autobiography, known as "The Iron Puddler."
 In it's endeavors to provide a comprehensive series of his torical works on Alaska, the Library Board has been advis- ed by Judge James Wicker sham who is an authority on things Alaskan, that Ban- croft's History of Alaska" is the best one to be had, al- though it was published about 1886 and does not cover the past 40 years. To cover the latter period Judge Wicker sham recommends an historic al work on the Territory by Jeanette Paddock Nichols, published in 1924, also Un- derwood's Alaska, an empire in the making, "1915, Gen. Greely's Handbook of Alas ka," and Higginson's Alaska, the Great Country" 1923.
 Membership in the Library is steadily growing as the pub- lie become better acquainted with the splendid advantages offered by the institution. The dues are but 25cts. a month, thus making it possible for ev- eryone to join.

NEW PREMIER EQUIPMENT
 IN OPERATION

Work on the new power plant of the Premier mine was completed 3 few days ago and t now in operation. The new power equipment includes two huge Diesel engines of 360 horsepower each and will in- crease the former power ca- pacity to 1900 horse power. This is double the amount of power furnished by the old plant and will permit of wide increase in the volume of activities both in the mine and mill.
 The capacity of the mill has also been greatly increased during the past few months. The mill is now capable of handling 400 tons of ore daily, practically double the former capacity.
 Some idea of the great vol ume of activities at the famous mine are disclosed by the fact that a mile of underground work has been done this year, in addition to an equal amount of drilling.

Freighters say the freeZup has made the travelling good for sleds, wagons or automobiles.
