 FORESTRY ROAD
 PROGRAM

Formal approval of the For est Service road construction program for the fiscal year beginning July 1, involving the expenditure of $425,0 ,00U on various projects, has been given by Secretary Jardine, of the Department of Agricult- ure, it was anounced recently by District Forester Charles H. Flory. The allotment for the Territory from Forest High way Fund for the same period was about $470,000.
 Continuation of Tongass Highway, a new road into the Texas Creek region at Hyder, launching of a project at Pt. Aggasiz, improvement of the Petrsburg3Scow Bay road, constitute the major items i'll Southeastern Alaska.

DIAMOND DRILLS
 FOR SILVERADO

Long continued efforts to To- cate ore in commercial quanti- ties on the old Silverado prop erty are to be renewed this summer by the Silverado min ing company with the aid of diamond drills, according to information given out in Stew art last week.
 The Silverado is one of the oldest locations in the district and is noted as having been one of the first properties to ship high grade ore, back ill the days when many of the prominent properties of the present day were prac- tically unknown or had not been discovered. Unfortunate. ly, however, the high grade ores were not of sufficient ex- tent to maintain the property on a shipping basis. Desultory explorations attempted during the succeeding years failed to develop ore in commercial quantities; principally owing to lack of adequate financing combined with difficult geo. logical conditions.
 i It is now purposed to attempt to locate the elusive ore bodies by the less costly diamond drill methods and the packers of the project are confident that the rich leads will be again located at depth.
 Preliminary work will be started Tuesday with a crew of five men under the direction of John Haahti. The new crew will fix up the lower camp and make other preparations for 8 season of active exploration work.
 The company is said to have around $2O,0OO in it's treasury, enough to carry on an exten- sive drilling campaign.

NEW CAN. NATL
 s. s. MAIL SCHEDULE

Postoffice department ad- ices received during the past week by Postmaster Oren r. Hill announce that the sailing day of the Canadian National steamers on the Vancouver Stewart run will be changed next week, with resultant vari- ation in the present mail sched- ule.
 Under the new schedule, ef- fective March 21, the c. N. E. steamers will leave Vancouver at 8 p. m. Thursdays, instead of Monday, as at present, and will arrive at that port on the return trip from Stewart and Hyder at 2 p. m. Tuesdays. Thus the vessels leaving Van couver Thursday night will arrive here Sunday morning, instead of Thursday.
 With the inauguration of the new schedule, first class mail posted at the Seattle terminal station before 8 a. m. on Thurs day will reach Vancouver in time to connect with the north bound steamer leaving the latter point Thursday evening.
 The same advices state that there will be no change in the present schedule of the Union Steamship Go. steamers, which will arrive Monday evening as usual.

manager c. A. Banks as fol lows:
 During the 12 months. ended 31st August last we have To- cated two very important orc bodies on our No. 8 level, at t point some 1,500 feet along the ore zone from the Premier boundary. These ore chutes are more or less parallel to one another; they are approXi- mately 300 feet in length ana may later be found to extena a considerable distance to- wards he Premier, in fact, dia- mond drilling has traced the vein a further 450 feet ii that direction, the general character of the ore disclosed on No. 3 level is of good mill ing grade, but we have found in one or two places some fair ly high grade ore. To the 31st August approximately 7OU tons averaging about $9O a to1 was shipped-this came from development.
 The width of these ore bodies exceeds the width of our tun- nel and at the north end they appear to come together, mak- ing a total width of approxi- mately 60 feet of commercial ore at that place. We have crosscut one of these ore boa ies 80 feet above No. 3 lever

FIND BIG ORE BODY
 ON B. C. SILVER

Development of a big ore body on the new No. 4 level was reported from the B. C.. Silver last week. The ore is said to be of good commercial grade and up to 12 feet in width at the widest point so far encountered. The big vein is apparently the downward extension of one of the big ore bodies, known as "C" and "D", found in the No. 8 level, ana from which close to 1000 tons of high grade ore was ship ped last year. The reports in- dicate that the ore so far found on the No. 4 level, is not of the same high grade character but nevertheless is very gooo ore. An important feature o1 the new discovery is that it ap,. pears to demonstrate the per, sistence of the ore found on No. 3 level for an additional depth of 160 feet below the latter level. The No. 4 level cut the ore at a depth of ap.. proxmately 1O50 fet on the dip of the vein or a vertical depth around 800 feet below the surface.

SEN. KING AGAIN
 ATTACKS JUDGE REED

Renewing his recent attack on Judge T. M Reed, Senator William A. King, of Utah, has introduced a bill ill the upper house designed to prevent the president, from keeping in office officials who fail to meet the approval of the Senate, according to Wash ington press reports. The measure was presented in the final days of the last session and failed to receive action before Congress adjourned. The measure is reported to provide that any federal o1- ficer, reappointed subject tt the consent of the Senate, shall not serve longer than the end of the Senate session following the expiration of his appointed term, even tho his successor may not have been named.
 Senator King explained that he measure was aimed prl- narily at Judge Reed, whom he said is holding office under "recess appoiptment." This assertion, however, like an earlier declaration made by him, to the effect that Judge Reed is serving without au- thority, is in error, in the de- gree that Judge Reed is serv- ing under his original appoint ! ent, which provides that the appointee shall serve for a stipulated period, or until his successor "is appointed and qualified" Under this author ity Judge Reee may legally remain in office for as long as the president may elect to let him remain.
 As a result of Kings earlier attack the Senate Judiciary committee has decided upon a lew inquiry into Judge Reeds 2ase. This may be carried Oh turing the interval before Con. yress convenes in November and Judge Reed will remain in office at least untfl that time.

PURPORTED INTERVIEW
 DECLARED FALSE

Directors of the Porter Idaho Mining Company have issued a specific denial of published statements emanating from Victoria, declaring that the Porter Idaho company has completed arrangements fol financing construction of 212 miles of tramway during the present season. The state ments in question were made in connection with a purporteo intervew with managing di- rector Clay Porter, in which MT. Porter was quoted as say ing that the alleged financing of the tram had been arranged for without the selling of any stock" The alleged interview is declared false and misrepre- sentative and entirely out o1 keeping with the facts.
 According to the officials, it is the intention to construct a tram at some future time, but not until such time as the mine shall provide the requisite funds from it's operation.

LESS AT
 AT RIVERSIDE

With sufficient ore in sight to keep the mill in operation for approximately year, ex- tractor is now in full swing at the Riverside mine. Ore is be- ing broken in the No. 4 tun- nel and new upraise, known as No. 8, is being run from the No. 3 level. (Lindeborg tunnel leveD to tap the fine ore body opened up by the 4th level. This is located east of No. 2 upraise, completed several weeks ago, and has penetrat- ed a good grade of ore. A number of ore chutes and chute raises are also being run to facilitate operations on the upper level.
 An outstanding development in connection with the com pany's progress appeared lasl week in the announcement that the Riverside company has bonded the Chas. Fehring property, known as the Last Shot Group, adjoining the north line of the Riverside group.

 During the year the Premier Gold Mining Company in raising from their No. 4 level, disclosed on our boundary a further ore body of good grade dipping into the B. c. Silver property.
 Since August 31, we have shipped a further 25O tons of high grade ore to the smelter, and this realized, after de- duction of treatment charges, $12,615.84. Your property has a direct continuation of the main Premier ore zone for a distance of at least twenty five feet and apart from the exceptionally high grade ore discovered on the Premier in the early days, we consider that there is a very. gooo chance of the ore zone on the B. c. Silver ground becoming as productive as it has been on the neighboring property
