My dear Mr.. :
r APPRECIATE your reading the
L Letters to Judd" and taking the
trouble to write me so fully on the
subject. quite understood your point
of view. You are correct in your i'm
preston that have never let mil
lion dollar contract. once handled
a quarter of a million or SO in the
publishing of "The Brass Check" and

which you will take to be proof posi-
tive that l am incompetent; but was
satisfied, because / had got several
million Americans to read the book.
Most of the time while you have been
letting million dollar contracts ! have
been investigating the conditions Of
life of the laborers who do the work
which makes the million dollar con-
tracts possible; also the activities Of
the million dollar contractors in con-

actly what l am talking about.
quite understand that It is the GUS
tom of business enterprises to finance
new construction out of profits. II the
shareholders followed the plan Of
foregoing the dividends and putting
these dividends into new construction
no one would object; but take the
case of the Amoskeag Company, which
you mentioned. The records show
that dividends were paid right
straight alone, and the new construc-
ton financed also, which Is simply
way of eating your cake and having
It at the same time. The difference
between us is one OF principle. You
think that big business is entitled TO

that the making Of big profits leads
automatically to social revolution.

Contrary to reports recently circulated to the effect that the Bureau of Public Roads has let contract for the con- struction of a new section of the Salmon River road between the rock cut on the north edge of town and the end of the new road completed last year, it appears that no contract has been let as yet. Information to this effect is included in a letter from O. P. Elvigion, of the Seims and Carlson com pany, road contractors, receiv- ed very recently by Jack Davis, in which the writer indicates that his company is bidding on the contract, which appar- ently had not been awarded at the tme the missive was written.

NEW TUNNEL ON
 BIG MISSOURI

Aimed at the opening up al depth the splendid ore show ings on the Golden Grown claim, a new tunnel is being driven on the Big Missouri group by the Big Missouri Mining Company, according to reports from that noted property. Work is also being carried on in the cross dr1tt from the old Mann tunnel, where an extensive body of ore carrying excellent values was encountered some weeks agu. The drift is now being run oh a massive vein of ore which runs at sharp angle from the one originally found parallel- ing the Mann workings. Re cent exploration of the latter vein revealed that it was intel, sected by a dyke 15 or more feet wide at a point opposite where the Mann tunnel turns north. The drift was continued however, and finally, broke in- to ore on the farther side of the dyke. The new ore bouy has since been found to run al a sharp angle to the first one and by 8 peculiar coincidence is also found to be paralleling the northerly extension of the Mann tunnel, which turns at sharp angle about 200 feet from the portal. Had the Mann engineers run a cross drit1 from either the northerly or easterly extensions of their tun nl they could hardly have es. capped encountering one or the other of these fine ore bodies, both carrying high values, principally in gold.
 Harry Townsend, consulting engineer of the company has been on the ground during the past week examining the new developments.

RECORD CONCENTRATE SHIPMENT FROM
 RIVERSIDE MINE

About 30 tons of ore concen- trates from the Riverside mine is now at the dock awaiting the arrival of the motorship Norco to start on it's lonA journey to the smelter. By the time the vessel arrives the shipment will probably be in- creased by five or six tons at least, in which case it will be the record dispatch of ore from that noted property. Also it will bring the total weight of shipments made during the brief period since operations were resumed by Mess1s. Littlepage and St. Clair to 75 tons.

A sun spot so large as to be visible to the naked eye may be seen through a smoked glass on the western limb of the sun. The gigantic vortex on the suns surface has been crossing the solar disk during the past two weeks and will disappear over the western edge in a few days.
 Although but one of the spots may be seen with the naked eye a small telescope or field glass will disclose several others of somewhat lesser mag nitude, although large enough to engulf a body the size of the earth.

 Since the snow came we have
 been drifting East on the larg-
 1T of the two veins. About ten feet from the crosscut there is a
 lorse about 40 feet long. that s, the vein split and went around some country rock. This is about 12 feet in width, and is a good grade of ore. We drifted in the hanging wall, as it was much softer, crOsscut at 55 feet, and opened up the best ore we ever had. This high grade vein is wider than any before found, and carries double the value of the best we have shipped to date. can- not state the exact width of this vein, since the miners were still working at it when I left the camp. It was then seven feet in width"
 Ore shipped during the seas on was from a winze sunk ol one of the veins .on which sur face work was done last sum- mer and was the only available ore for shipping during the seasons operations. Over three hundred feet of drift was run from the bottom of this winze. Ore of good value was found all the way where the hanging wall was solid, but where shattered and water came through, values were too low for packing.
 Development costs for the season to December 31, were $27,326; ore shipment costs $10,902.7O; cash on hand $15.- 387.62.

 The Sutherland measure pro- Hded for the election of gov ernor and Secretary of Alaska md also for Territorial con- srol of license taxes on busi- ness and trade, instead of the present Federal taxes; for ter 'itorial support of insane per ;ons and for the complaua maintenance of Territorial schools.

BETTER PROGRESS WITH
 B. C. SILVER SHIPMENTS

Improved hauling conditions resulting from the brief snow fall a few days ago is now per- mitting the Crawford Transfer Go. to make better progress in hauling the high grade ship ments of the B. c. Silver.
 The daily quota of ore land- ed at the wharf has now been increased to from four or five tons to from eight to twelvo tons per day.
 Two four horse teams are en- gagged in bringing the ore down from the hills.

Those in close touch with the local lumber situation say that the wide increase in winter mining activities has resulted in a demand for lumber which promises to clean out the pres ent supply of cut timber in a short time, despite the large quantity on hand when the Hyder Lumber Go. mill closed down some weeks ago. Indi- cations are said to point at present to the mill renewing operations about the middle of February.

ward for him, dead or alive. Several people asserted they had seen him in the west end of town, but this is not certain. After several days MT. Hill suddenly recalled that when- ever he had been in the vicin- ity of the place where Aims tent had stood, the dog had in- valiably gone to the spot and l,osed about the dismantled
 frame work that had housed his dead master. He at length decided to look there for the missing dog. Going to the spot, w;th a companion they founo ample evidence in the snow that Spring had been there. Lines cf tracks old and new, around the spot 5etokeneo clearly that it had been the bourne of many q pilgrimage ky the missing dog. Then by following tn tracks 'I1ey finally traced the faithful cog to al. er1rty house nearby. in a sheu on the porch was found the bed where he had lain, thro the chilly days and nights and. all about were evidences that throughout his lonely vigil the dog had been terribly ill. Be- tween intervals of deadly nausea the dog had apparently journeyed repeatedly to the spot where his old master had died, returning to lie on his couch of sacks until the yearn- ing for his long lost love drew him forth once more. And then. had come a time when the call of love was forced to yield u failing strength and Spring could not respond. With fail ing breath and shaking limbs he had dragged himself to the steps, only to fall and roll helplessly in the snow below. But life was not gone and lov- ing memory still called and he again arose and staggered on. A few paces filled with God knows what agonies and then he fell again. And there they found him sleeping peacefully, his spirit gone to join the one he loved with a devotion that passes understanding-"Fa Faith full unto all Eternity"

A large wolf was shot almost in the heart of the residence section of Stewart Tuesday morning, according to reports from the thriving community across the border line. The re- ports say the animal, a dark coated beast, of the timber species was shot by Frank Gigot in front of his yard about 2 a. m. The animal had been seen proving in the neighborhood before and was being watched for by the resi- dents.
 The old timers say that al- though the animals are ire quently seen in the hills, it is seldom that they display an inclination to venture into town and it has been several years since one of them was killed in the environs of Hy- der. Early risers report that a number of the beasts were bowling on the west bank of Salmon River early Tuesday but made no effort to cross the river so far as known.
 Reports from other sections of the Territory indicate that there has been a marked in- crease in the number of wolves during the past year, in spite of the $15 bounty offered by the government.

PORTER IDAHO ELECTS
 NEW DIRECTORATE

held last Wednesday at the
 company headquarters in Fly.
 der B. C., resulted in the elect
 ion of directorate composed
 entirely of local residents.
 Only one member of the old
 board retained a seat, the ex, ception being Clay Porter
 president and managing di. rector of the company, and al so tn discovererofthe
 so the discoverer of the Porter Idaho mine.
 The new board of directors embraces the following well known local people
 Clay Porter, Wm. Bunting w. c. Blanton, Oren F. Hill, J. P. Hawkinson, w. R. Tooth, and Joe Morin.
 The election of an entirely local board of directors will be of marked advantage to the company, as it will permit prompt consideration by a full board of matters affecting the mine operations and general conduct of the company busi- ness whenever necessary.
 The meeting was attended by about 40 shareholders and was marked by lively discussions of the affairs of the company throughout. The meeting en- dorsed> by large majority the conduct of the Porter Idaho mine operations and business by President Porter, whose an nual report, dated January 10, disclosed that the company en. joys an excellent financial status, with nearly $16,00O working capital on hand.
 Following is a summary of the report with respect to the present and past seasons op- rations:
 Operations were started April 15 and since that date 1050 feet of work has been done, including 385 feet of cross cut tunnel, 60 feet of winze, 60 feet of drifting. The remainder consisted of drifting on the veins.
 A total tonnage of 176,982 tons of ore was shipped to the Selby smelter during the open season. This averaged $96.53 per ton, gross smelter receipts, the assay values of which av- eraged $105.14 per ton. Total returns from ship after deductions for freight, treatment and shelter charges amounted to $13,72O- 10.
 The report states:
 While the net proceeds from these shipments do not amount to very much, due to the pack CTS charge of $50 per ton for packing the ore by pack train from the mine to the ship, a distance of about eight miles, nevertheless it has been neces- sary to ship this ore, in order to prospect the property, and as it is 50 per cent water sol uble if exposed on the dump."
 Two veins cross cut by the 300-foot tunnel are described as "true Assure veins." One, seven feet in width, can be traced on the surface 1900 feet. The other, five feet wide, intersects it about 100 feet west of the cross cut. At the point where cut, the ore was all oxide and carbonate and

 Il the mists of obscurity. But, vhatver he was, or wherever
 le came from, the closing hours of his life demonstrated beyond all doubt that he was entitled to a wreath of honor Or matchless fealty to a long
 ost love. That is why we are glad to write him our humble eulogy, for faithfulness is ,mong the most honored of all human attributes. Of his earlier years in Hyder we will first briefly tell, for thereon hangs the tale.
 Spring first belonged to one John Alin, or Anderson, who vas found dead in his tent dong the river bank some years ago. Spring fay beside he body, caressing with his ongue the death stiffened hand of his stricken master. And when they went to take away the body of his loved one, he fought them off with pared teeth and anguish in his faithful eyes. After several others had failed to coax the log away, MT. Hill went close 70 the glowering animal and finally succeeded in winning his friendship. During the in- terval while the body of his master was still above the ground, Springs sorrow re. nained unassuaged. Unheed- tul of everything he lay in the home of his new master, until he body of Alin was laid away in its last long rest. Then, when the funeral was scarcely more than over, he suddenly came to MT.
