TOUGH GOING ON TEXAS

Adverse snow conditions con- tinue to hamper the efforts of the Hyder Lead Mines, com pany in getting supplies to the company properties on upper Texas Creek. Up to a day or two ago the crew of men sent out about two weeks by managing engineer R. G. Mellin to open up the trail, had not succeeded in getting the supply outfit beyond the old Texas Comstock cabin. The cabin is situated about a half mile or so below the group on the government pack trail, with considerable snow be- tween, through which it will be necessary to cut a trail be- fore the outfit reaches it's des- tination.
 Present indications are that active work on the property is not liable to commence for another week or so.

TO WORK ON
 SILVER TIP

John V. Clegg, one of the leading owners of the Silver Tip group, arrived on the Car dena prepared to start devel- opment operations as soon as snow conditions permit haul ing of supplies to that at pres ent almost inaccessible region. The group is located a short distance northwest of Long Lake and adjoins the Unicorn group on the north and east. Work done on the property in earlier years has revealed an extent of mineralization which warrants the assumption that it will ultimately become 8 producer.
 During his absence in the south last winter, Mir. Clegg took unto himself a bride, who will join him here later in the season.

Mrs. Ernest Blue and baby left hurriedly Sunday morning enroute to Minneapolis, fol- lowing receipt of a telegram Saturday evening stating that her father, Rome c. Brown, had passaway suddenly after a brief illness. MT. Brown, who was the senior member of the firm of Brown and Ges- mer, attorneys at law, was ap- parently hale and hearty up to four days of his death, which resulted from an acute attack of diabetes. MT. Brown had practised law in Minneapolis since 1880 and was one of the most widely known attorneys in that section. He was aged about 67 years and is survived by a widow, a daughter, Mrs. Blue, and a son, Edwin c. Brown. The unfortunate de- mise of MT. Brown is given added pathos by the fact that his widow, who was stricken with a form of apoplexy while visiting her daughter in Hyder last year, has not recovered and has been confined to a hospital since her return" to Minneapolis late last fall.

Despite local rumor to the effect that an Associated Press dispatch had announced the rejection of the nominations of Federal judges T. M. Reed, FL mer E. Ritchie and District At torney Arthur G. Shoup, the Senate sub-judiciary commit tee has apparently taken no further action with respect to Alaskan appointments since the confirmation of Marshal White of the First and Judge Cecil Clegg of the Fourth div isions. The rumor in question, like so many others circulated in this locality, was based up- on nothing at all, as every ef- fort to trace it to a definite source has failed.
 Recent Washington dispatch es indicate that President Cool idge is growing out of patience with the long continued politi- cal squabbling and has issued a statement to the following effect:
 Following a fight in the Sem ate over President Coolidge's nominations for Alaska posit- ions, it is announced at the White House that Coolidge is convinced his appointments are the best possible. If Con- gress rejects them he will go outside of Alaska and fill the offices.
 President Coolidge believes that the constant rowing fact ions in Alaska place almost any appointment there under attack.
 The President is impressed by the fact that one of the chief sources is the income of Alas ka government employment which he believes offers a motive to those not employed by the Government, to seek to displace those holding office.

GOOD RETURNS ON
 B. C. SILVER ORE

Net returns of close to SIPS per ton were received by the B. c. Silver Mines from the recent shipment of high grade ore mined from the No. 3 lev ell during the course of devel- opment work on the B. c. Sil- yer, according to the Mining World and Engineering Rec ord, Oondon), in commenting on a report read at a general meeting of the Selukwe Gold Mining and Finance Go. Ltd, held in London April 26th.
 The journal asserts that net returns of close to 1000 pounds were received from a total of 276 tons of ore ship ped, and also shows that the existence of large bodies of rich ore is proved and partly developed over two consider able areas.
 The report in question places he total footage of develop ment work done on the prop erty to March 1 at 23, ,589 feet, of which 8,665 feet is tunnel md cross cuts and 14,799 feet diamond drilling. The remain der consists of 120 feet of raise and 15 feet of sinking.
 Respecting the results of de- velopment the report says:
 "The most important mining achievement is that we have definitely proved, close to the center of the property, a re- currence in the ore zone of nigh grade chutes, similar in character to the high grade chutes existing in the Premier mine ** we may claim that a run of ore will be ulti- mately opened up along the whole length of the Oakville Fraction boundary, where it adjoins the Premier's Simpson claim and for at least 50 feet beyond this ground * total of 800 feet, if we may add the ore disclosed in blocks c and D, we get a total run of pay chutes of we'll over 1000 it. of exceptional width and value"

IMPORTANT FIND
 ON MOUNTAINVIEW

Despite the fact that the Mountainview Gold Mining Company properties on Fish Creek have been under devel- opment for several years, dur ing which they have been sub- iected to numerous surface ex- aminations, the discovery few days ago of splendid new lead of ore within a short stone throw of the power dam has revealed that the mineral possibilities of the group are still far from being known. Owing to a heavy overburden, the presence of the lead was not heretofore discovered. At the present time it has been traced for a distance of 75 or 80 feet. The width has not been fully determined but ap- pears to range from 3 to 4 feet or more The ore is solidly mineralized with steel galena, grey copper and pyrites and also shows small quantities of zinc.
 The discovery is an important one, as it discloses not only an apparently valuable ore de- posit but is also an unexpected addition to the present vein system.
 Manager Arthur Moa has a crew of 4 men employed at present. Activities are confin- ed entirely to surface work of a character to best determine future operations.
 Since renewing operations some days ago, Manager Moa has stripped the promising up per vein of grey copper, ex- posing the ore something over 500 feet, with an average width of about 4 feet. MT. Moa states that the new lead was  discovered during efforts to trace the grey copper vein through the ridge between Skookum Creek and Fish Creek, to which it is believed to extend. The vein is said to carry very good gold and sill yer values, as we'll as galena. This vein has been found so far to be practically free from zinc elements.
 MT. Moa expects to start work on much increased scale about July 1, employing a com pressor and machine drills.

Prevention of Fraud and Barter
in Federal Appointments Aim
ed at by Investigators of Pres
ent Conditions.
preston News Service)


Washington, May 20.-Outcries
from various parts of the South
against alleged corruption of federal
patronage have stirred Congress to
action.
The House Judiciary Committee,
Tuesday, appointed subcommittee
to conduct hearings on two measures
designed to disclose present practices
and prevent fraud and barter of fed
eral appointments in the future.
This action followed an appeal be-
fore the committee by Representative
Busby, Democrat, Mississippi, for an
inquiry into rotten" conditions in
his state, for which he held President
Coolidge responsible in recent
speech in the House.
The Judiciary Committee which
last week reported bill by Repre-
sentative Wurzbach, Republican,
Texas, to require federal appointees
to file within 80 days after taking
Office an affidavit that they have Civ
en- or received no financial assistance,
ordered hearings on a resolution by
Representative Stevenson, Demo-
crat, South Carolina, making it I'M
lawful to receive anything of value
lin pay for promise to support" and
a measure by Mr.. BusDy calling upon
the Justice and Postoffice Depart
ments for reports by inspectors on
alleged patronage evils in Missis-
sippi.
Mr.. Busby described his resolution
as a means of disclosure to be used
as a basis for remedial legislation
proposed by the other two Southern
members. Busby in two recent
speeches in the House charged the
Republican party with allowing
Perry w. Howard, official of the JUS
tice Department, to sell patronage in
that state to the highest bidder.
Mr.. Wurzbach, the lone Texas Re-
publican in Congress, launched the
move with an attack upon Republican
control of patronage in his state.
