PREMIER co. NEGOTIATING
 FOR THE INDIAN MINE

Efforts made by the Herald to determine the truth of re- cent rumors to the effect thal the Premier had taken over the Indian have resulted in a statement from authoritative sources that negotiations look ing to the acquisition of the Indian by Premier are in grog- ress but have not been defi- nitely concluded.
 During past weeks the Pre- -mier has subjected the Indial. to an extensive sampling with a view to determining the character of the ores and their amenability to treatment. Dur ing the process the ores have been given wide variety of laboratory and other tests which are stated to have dem

Leonard Seppala, famous Nome dog musher, three times winner of the 400-mile All Alaska Sweepstakes from Nome to Candle and return, added still further to his mushing laurels March 15 by winning for the third time the 28 mile Borden Marathon Cup race, the great speed classic of the North. Seppala broke the record of 2 hours, 6 minutes made 6 years ago. By winning the race three times Seppala became the owner of the great silver cup hung up by John Borden, noted Chicago millionaire sportsman.

ostrated the possibilities o1 profitable exploitation in a satisfactory manner Contrary to reports that the Indian ores are of such highly refractory and complicated character that profitable handling would be exceedingly difficult, it is stated that the Premier tests have shown that this is not in keeping with the facts, as it has been demonstrated that IL can be done successfully and profitably.
 Owing to the undetermined state. of the negotiations be- tween the Premier and Indian interests, it is improbable that further details of the trans action will be disclosed until the deal is closed.

or more in gold, while average assays of the galena ore rang ing from $75 to $150 are not uncommon. A unique feature of the latter is that a majority of the deposits are so situated on the almost precipitious mountainside that large quan- titles may be extracted without drifting or tunneling. Fifteen tons were mined from one of the leads late last fall without the use of an ounce of powder, only picks, sledges and wedges being employed in the evtract- ion.
 This ore composed part of a 20 ton smelter shipment sent out late last year and which is said to have yielded returns which indicate that the prop erty is of almost fabulous rich ness in the event that the ore goes down. Owing to the vein pitching steeply into the bluff like mountainside, but little development work will be re- quired to prove the ore bodies at a depth of several hudred feet below the croppings. Be- ing located only about a mile from the Hyder-Premier roaG the properties are easily ac- ceSsible.
 The acquisition of the two groups by the Premier is of uusHal importance in the de- gree that it not only means the probable speedy develop ment of one of the districts most promising mining proper ties but also marks the entry of the noted Guggenheim in- terests into the American sect ian of the Portland Canal dis trict.
 The company is already mak- ing preparations to prospect the groups with a crew of 25 men, which is expected to be on the job in brief period.

Despite exceedingly bad trails, most of the machinery sent in by the Sebakwe Company for the National Silver has been landed on the ground by the Crawford Transfer.
 Representatives of the latter concern say that the drill sharpener and one team load of lumber are yet to go up, al- though it is probable that the sharpener reached the ground today. The lumber will be the last sled load of supplies to, be be sent up, this year, the trails being too badly cut up for sled traffic. 2

Owing to the prevalence of numerous cases of smallpox Tn Pacific Coast points, the Ter ritorial Health Commission is taking drastic action at Soutn- eastern Alaska coastal points to prevent the disease gain ing a foothold in the Territory. Vaccination is being enforced and unvaccinated ship passeil- gers have been barred from landing at several points. Re cent Ketchikan reports all nounced that 9 of 26 passen- gers arriving oh the steamship Queen were refused landing at that point unless they submit ted to vaccination, through passengers were not allowed on shore, and the crew of the vessel were confined to a rop- ed-off portion of the wharf.
 The movement to prevent the disease from invading Alaska is being aided by the Seattle health authorities, who have announced that passengers will not be allowed to embark from Seattle on Alaska steam. CTS unless vaccinated within the past ten years.

The House Territories Com mittee, over Delegate Suther- lands opposition, voted to re- port out the White Bill to dis franchise illiterate Alaskan voters, according to recent Washington press dispatches, which state that the Commit tee also dropped an amend ment, previously offered and accepted, to exempt persons who legally voted last year from the retroactive effect of the bill.
 Delegate Sutherland contend cd that no state is passing llI- eracy qualifications disfran- chising old voters and declar- ed that the White bill is an in- justice to the Indians and white pioneers of Alaska who are illiterates but who have been voting. The reply of Chairman Curry to this argu- ment, the reports say, was that "the Indian voters have been herded and forced to vote in blocks for certain can didates.

The Cantu and Frances groups, owned by Mrs. Fran- ces Foster Cronholm and T. w. Mcdonald, have been bona ed by the Premier Gold Min ing Company, owner of the great Premier Mine, according to authoritative information given to the Herald today Wednesday,.
 Although no definite state- ment regarding the purchase price can be made at this time, it is understood that the deal includes several substantial cash payments in addition to a royalty of ten per cent on the net proceeds of operation.
 The groups, comprising total of IT claims, are located on the easterly slopes of Cantu Mountain, along the western edge of Salmon Glacier and from one to two miles north west of the original Premier holdings. All of the properties included in the two groups are located on the American side of the International boundary line in the Hyder mining dis trict. The Cantu group, named after one of the former Span. ish governors of California, in- cludes 13 claims and with the four claims of the Frances group comprises one of the largest mineral groups in the district. Both groups are re- markable for the size and di- versity of their surface show ings. In addition to an inn mense gold bearing quartz porphyry belt, said to be iden- tical with the Premier porphy- ry, the properties also contain immense outcrops of silver lead ore which have been shown by assays to carry high values. Samples taken from the porphyry belt are known to have given returns of $14
