KETCHIKAN MAN
 BUYS INTEREST IN
 TEXAS CREEK GROUP

Further demonstrating the faith of Ketchikan business in terests in local mineral devel- opment, Louis Hansen, propri- etor of the Bon Marche and one of Ketchikan's prominent business men, has purchased a one-fourth interest in the En- gineer group in the Texas Creek section from Dominick Bevacqua. The deal was com- pleted Friday, the entire pur- chase price being paid by MT. Hansen at the time the papers were signed. No announce ment has been made regard ing the price paid, although it is said to be a substantial sum.
 A unique feature of the deal is that MT Hansen has never seen the property, and pur- chased the interest purely on the strength of a report of J. G. Shepard u. s. Geological Survey representative, who made a survey of the group last year.
 The Engineer group comprises seven claims and is situated on he east side of Ferguson glac- fer, on the west fork of Texas Creek, and a short distance east of the Hyder Lead Mines properties. Tine group was To, cated by Bevacqua during the Texas Creek stampede days. Working alone most of tho
 ime, Bevacqua has performed 2 large amount of develop ment work, including d G0-foot cross cut tunnel which is ex- pected to tap the main vein between 65 and 75 feet below
 he outcrops. Work done dur nr recent days indicate; that Inc face of the tunne; is nov quite clos. to the vein. which tanges between two and four Eeet in width at the surface and has been traced by means of open cuts for several hum ired feet. Prior to the Hansen real, MT. Revacqua rwned a half interest in the property, he remaining half being held iointly by Harry Hill, Paul Meger and H J. Hicks.

A compressor and other equipment for the Woodbine arrived from the south this week and is now being install ed. Work is proceeding on the upper tunnel, which is now in 130 feet. A cross cut is being driven from the southwest drift in the lower tunnel ,and is in fine looking ore, which has not been assayed but is un. questionably of excellent mill ing grade. Large samples ap- pear practically solid galena and pyrite, with traces of copper.

ANOTHER MAN IS MISSING

Third in a series of mysteri- ouse disappearances occurring in Stewart and Hyder during the past few weeks, Gust Mikala, an employee of the Johnson-Gardner camp on the Salmon River road operations, has not been seen or heard of since July 5th, and it is feared that he has met with some mishap.
 Mikala, who is a stranger in this locality, left the road camp July 8 to visit town. Deputy U S. Marshal Donald B. Martin, who has been work ing on the case for some time, succeeded in tracing his move ments up to the afternoon of July 5, when he was seen com ing out of one of the resorts in Hyder B. c. Vigilant search has failed to develop further trace of his movements.
 Marshal Martin states there is a possibility that the miss man may have left on an ore boat, although this prospect is discounted by his failure to draw a substantial sum due him as wages for work on the road.

BODY OF MISSING
 MAN FOUND IN BAY

The mystery surrounding the disappearance of Mike Cassidy was lifted Thursday with the discovery of his body in the waters of Portland Canal near the old Steward dock.
 Owing to the remains being so badly mutilated that the features were unrecognizable there was considerable doubt as to whether the corpse was that of Cassidy or of George Anderson, who also disappear ed about the same time. The remains, however proved to be those Cassidy, Identification being established by testimony given by Dr. J. c. Kennedy, Hyder dentist, and Mrs, A. Perry, nurse, at a Coroner's in- quest held in Stewart Thurs day afternoon. Dr. Kennedy positively identified certain dental work done by him for the deceased, and Mrs. Perry identified a truss worn by Cassidy. The jury rendered a verdict of death by drowning.
 Cassidy, who was employed at the Sebakwe, had been missing since early on the morning of June 9th. The de- ceased was well known, hav- ing been engaged in mining in the district for some years. He is survived by relatives who reside in Eastern Canada.
 No trace has been found of Anderson, who was last seen June 5, despite extensive in- vestigations by officials on both sides of the boundary line. Anderson, who recently arriv- ed from Vancouver, left his room at the Miners Rest, stat ing he was going to the Pre- mier dock to look for work!
 Cassidy was a World War vet eran and had been decorated. The remains were laid at rest in Stewart cemetery Friday morning under the joint aus pices of the Canadian Legion and Moose Lodge of which he was a member.

 Wm. G. Strench, district di- rector of immigration for Alaska, paid Hyder a flying visit Wednesday during the Taku II.
 MT. Strench came over for the purpose of conveying to Ket- chikan one Ragnar Gustinus Bengtsson ,an alien, who was arrested here July 6, by D. J. Mulcare, local immigrant in- spector, and has since been held in detention in the fed eral jail pending action by the immigration authorities. Beng esson deserted from a Swedish tramp steamer at Portland in 1922 and had been carried on the books of the immigration bureau as wanted" until his apprehension here. He was ar rested by inspector Mulcare under a departmental warrant issued in Washington D. c. He will be deported to Sweden.
 The apprehension of Beng tsson in this remote section provides an outstanding ex- ample of the fact that Uncle Sam has a keen eye and long memory, as we'll as a far reach ing hand for those who violate his laws. It often happens that aliens evade the immigration

 morning, Leonard Klemola,
 miner, received injuries from
 which he expired Wednesday

 Stewart hospital recovering
 from severe injuries to his
 chest and throat. Details of
 the tragedy related to Coroner
 T. w. Mcdonald by Pat Calla-
 han, B. McDaid, miners, who
 were working at the portal of
 the tunnel, were as follows:
 Klemola and Perovich came
 out of the drift after setting
 off a round of 15 shots. One of the charges failed to ex-
 plode and after waiting only
 15 minutes, instead of the full
 half hour designated by the
 mine rules, Klemola and his partner went in to investigate About five minutes after the pair entered the drift, Calla- han and McDaid heard one shot go off and entered the tunnel immediately to investi- gate. They found Klemola and Perovich lying on the floor ot the tunnel, the former with his right leg torn almost to shred. by the blast. After receiv ing such first aid treatment a. could be given at the mine, the injured men were rushed tc Stewart hospital, where they were attended by Dr. Whil lans assisted by Dr. Carson oi Premier. Examination disclos. ed that Klemola was in fear ful shape. His leg was hanging by shreds his hip was partial ly blown away, and his right shoulder badly shattered. Sc. were wounds on his hands and other parts of his anatomy al. so gave ghastly evidence O. the terrific force of the delay ed blast. Perovich's breast wa found to have been severely crushed and lacerated but h: has good chance for recov- cry.
 Both men stated that they had reached a point in the tun. nel about 12 or 15 feet from the face when delayed charge Being somewhat closer than his companion, Klemola received the ful. force of the blast, which ac- counts for his more severe in juries.
 The remains of Klemola were returned to Hyder after his demise and prepared for bur ial, by Nurse Perry, assisted by R. c. Gregg. The funeral was held Friday afternoon, follow ing services in Pioneer Hall, which were attended by a large part of the camps pop ulation, and with many floral offerings attesting the sorrow of the community over the sad accident. Rev. s. V. Warren delivered a splendid funeral sermon, after which the re- mains were laid at rest in Riverview Cemetery.

 the Big Missouri.
 Hugh B. McGuire, pioneer mining man, has placed a crew of men at work on a number of properties located in the vicinity of the Porter Idaho, one of which is said to hold the northern extensions of the high-grade veins of the Porter Idaho and Prosperity properties. Activities will be directed principally to surface exploration this summer.
 Ore is coming down from the. Porter Idaho at the rate of three tons per day and the first shelter shipment of the season will soon leave for the south. The ore IS brought down the mountain as far as the Wire Gold camp by pack train and is then transported from that point to the beach by wagon.
 Dr. J. s .Schofield, widely known geologist, who was formerly connected with the Canadian Geological Survey, arrived from the south last week to make an examination of the we'll known Bayview property, a short distance north of Stewart.
