SAYS DISTRICT IS
 MAKING PROGRESS

E. E. Hall, Winnepeg capital ist and head of the Riverside Mining and Milling Co.,, spent the past week in camp look ing after his local interests. Mir. Hall was accompanied by his son Carl I. Hall.
 In a statement to the Herald MT. Hall expressed his satis- faction over the results of the past years operations at the Riverside, characterizing the present situation as Every good" MT. Hall also voiced the opinion that the camp will shortly witness a marked in- crease in mining activity as result of the wider under standing of the district and it's possibilities. He was also glad to know that he had been able to do something for the district by taking over the Riv- erside and demonstrating by it's successful operation that the complicated ore can be mined on a profitable basis.

Dr. H. T. James, newly ap- pointed resident mining engi- neer for the Stewart district left this week for the Cascade Creek section to look over that district with a view to extend ing the wagon road from the Premier to the Big Missouri and Woodbine properties.
 It is understood that the con- struction of a wagon highway to the Big Missouri has been under discussion by the B. c. Board of Public Works offici- als for some time, but the project has been held in abeyance pending the outcome of the develoment work car ried on by the Big Missouri company during the past two years.
 The opening of a road to the Big Missouri will be of inesti- mable benefit to all the mining interests of that section, as we'll as to the Big Missouri, where development has reached a stage, where commercial oper- ation appear imminent.

PREMIERE. C. SILVER
 AMALGAMATION DEAL REPORTED CONTINUING

Reports from the south indi- cate that negotiations looking to an amalgamation of the Premier and B e Silver inter ests are in progress. One re- port, apparently based on in- formation emanating from London sources, asserts that tentative discussions of the proposal have reached a stage, where actual proposals have been made on both sides.
 Another version ,said to be circulating in Vancouver min ing circles, is to the effect that suggestions have been made that the Premier company re- turn to the Selukwe people the amount expended in devel- opment work, together with a certain amount of Premier Gold Go. stock. The latter re- port indicates that the Nation al Silver properties of the Se- bakwe company are included in the negotiations.

 The party, under the direct ion of Howard J. Benchoff, is on a tour of North America, which has already extended from Virginia southward to the Gulf of Mexico, along the southern border to Los An geles and up the Pacific coast to Hyder, the only Alaska point included in the itinerary. The party travelled as far as Seattle in it's own special train, the Shenandoah Valley Spec ial,' stopping at all leading centers and points of interest enroute. A special train has also been provided by the Can- adian National for their return journey across Canada via Prince Rupert and Jasper Park.
 In outlining the story of the tour MT. Benchoff, who is pres ident of the Shenandoah Nat ional Park Assn. and Shenan- doah Valley, Incorporated, said he had made every effort to obtain longer layoyer here in order to visit the mines, in which the party was much in- terested, but was unable to do so.

The Herald is indebted to Rev. s. V. Warren for a fine mess of new potatoes and. spin ach grown by him in the in the garden plot of the Metho- dist Episcopal parsonage. Needless to say, they were greatly enjoyed. The potatoes were planted by Dr. Warren May 16th, and grew so rapidly that some 5 inches in circum- ference were dug by him July 4th. They are of the "Six- Weeks" variety. Not only are they of particularly fine flav- or, but also appear to be ex- cellently adapted for local planting, owing to their rapid growth. In addition to straw berries and a wide range of other forms of "garden-sass, !" Dr. Warren is also experiment. ing with corn, of which he has a vigorous and very promising growth.

MOUNTAINVIEW IS
 LOOKING GOOD

NSAAAANN4
 Summer development operat- ions are now in full swing on the Fish Creek properties of the Mountainview Gold Min ing Go. Three shifts are em- ployed, two of which are en- gagged in extending the main tunnel, the other being em- ployed at surface work.
 This property is not only the most advantageously situated in the Salmon district, being located only a short distance from the districts main high way, to which it is connected by a 1000 foot tram, but is al- so yielding splendid results from the development work done both above and below ground. The main, or Skookum Creek tunnel has been driven over HOO feet. About 500 feet of the tunnel was driven on what is known as the Skook- um Creek vein, and has open ed up an ore shoot about $50 feet long and averaging about 3 feet in width. This ore body averages between SIP and $14 per ton in gold, silver, lead and zinc, and is estimated to contain ore valued at approxi- mately $50,OO0 above the level of the tunnel, which cuts the vein at maximum depth of 125 feet The tunnel has also exposed several other ore oc- ;urences of important size and value which promise large ad- ditions to the known ore re- serve. The property also con- tains number of additional ore deposits, including the Tom vein, the Gray Copper vein, the Gold vein, Marsh vein and Dave's vein, all of which have been partially explored by short tunnels and open cuts. All of these leads may be ex- plored at depths ranging from 150 to 500 feet by extensions Of the Skookum Creek tunnel. Probably the most important of these deposits is the Grey Copper vein which has been traced 500 feet on the surface, where it ranges from a few inches to eight feet or more in width, averaging between 3 and 4 feet. Although only partially explored, the work so far done indicates an ore shoot POO feet long and 212 feet in width carrying average values 0f $11 per ton mainly in gold and silver. The Skookum Creek tunnel will cut the vein at a depth of about $50 feet, giv- ing an estimated overhead tonnage for this part of the vein valued at approximately $15O,000. The Marsh vein, Gold vein and Tom and Dave veins also give evidence of be- ing highly important ore bod ies carrying excellent values. The Gold vein lies in highly mineralized area containing ore occurrences yielding both ruby silver and native gold. In one instance 40 pounds of rock from this vein yielded 2 ounces of native gold.

 Although a downpour of rain during the forenoon resulted in the abandonment of the parade, the remainder of the celebration was carried out under more favorable skies and was marred by no untow- ard incident. The festivities were started by an address by Col. B. R .Stivers, U. s. Gust oms Inspector, in Pioneer Hall. With the big hall crowded to capacity, Col. Stivers was in- troduced by Attorney Ernest Blue and delivered an interest ing talk on early American history and some of the more notable American accomplish ments o6 later days; touching briefly upon both the Civil and Spanish-American wars and pointing out that since the in- ception of the Republic the American flag had never known defeat. Col .Stivers next discussed the nations progress, drew attention to the fact that although the United States and Canada had started on the road to national greatness at practically the same time, the former now had population of over 110,000,000, while Canada possesses about 10,- 100000 at the present time. Various other phases of our national life and advancement were also touched upon. The address was decidedly inter- esting and informative and evoked we'll merited applause from the big gathering. Fol lowing the address the crowd repaired to the ball grounds, where field sports, ranging from races and contests for tiny tots to more strenuous ex- ercises for their elders, were held throughout the afternoon. Interest centered chiefly in the base ball game between Hyder and Stewart for a S100 purse. The contest speedily develop ed a decidedly one-sided as- pect in favor of Hyder and was won by the local team with a score of 14 to 6. In addition to the purse. the Hyder team was also presented with base ball autographed by Walter Johnson and H. Ruel, the fam ous Washington battery. The unique souvenir was the gift of A. H. Jarman of the Wash ington Mining Co.,, friend of the great pitcher.
 The celebration closed with a big dance given by the Pio- neers of Alaska in Pioneer Hall, which was attended by capacity crowd from both sides of the boundary. The not ed Premier orchestra assisted by Victor Durand, violinist pro- vided the music and rendered a delightful program.
 The committee in charge of the celebration is to be heartily commended for their able and painstaking labor. Thanks to their efforts, the celebration was one of the most enjoyable 4th celebrations held here, de spite the hindrances develop

TAKE MUMM|ES ARE
 SOLD TO TOURISTS
Police Informed of New Cheat. ing in Egypt

Cairo, Egypt, May 20 R-The American gold brick and Brooklyn Bridge selesmen have a match in the Egyptian Souvenir vendors, the local police report.
 According to complaints received by the police, the mummies of humble Egyptian slaves have been decked out in regal trappings and sold to gullible tourists as authen- tic mummies of Pharaohs and Tut ankhamens.
 The sums paid for faked num- mics, it is reported, have in some cases run into thousands of dollars.
 To the natives the jest is a merry one. For mummies in Egypt are as plentiful as potatoes in Ireland. In many districts the natives dig them up and use them for firewood.
 It is therefore simple and a profitable matter for a nimble swim dler to dig up the mummy of some forgotten slave, transport it to his workshop and deck it out with a few gilded scarabs. inscription and amulets It is then presented to the English or American traveller as rare old Rameses or Aminho- tep.
 Sometimes, to make the deception more convincing, the redecorated mummy is swathed in chemically stained linen. carefully buried again and exhumed in the presence of the prospective purchaser.
