IMPROVES LOCAL
 BOAT SEVICE

In fulfillment of the promise to improve his Hyder- Ketchi- kan boat service to the fullest extent the traffic would war rant, w. w. Moves, head of the Moves Boat Company, has placed the motorship M. V. Fairbanks on the local run.
 The vessel is said to be one of the most up to date boats of it's size on this coast and is a great improvement on any of the smaller type of vessels hereto fore engaged in local traffic, being 65 feet in length, 1872 foot beam, and powered with a 100 h.p. Fairbanks-Morse die sel engine. In addition to am- pie freight carrying capacity, the vessel is also provided with excellent passenger accomo- dations, six good sized state rooms fitted with good berths being included in the provis- ions for comfortable travelling.
 MT Moves states that present traffic hardly justifies the re- tention of a boat of this class on the run but it is his desire to provide the best possible ser vice that conditions will per init. It is the intention to keep the vessel on the run for a good, fair try, MT Moves says, but it depends on the people of Hyder whether it can be re- tained.
 "We are doing our part to give Hyder the best service that can be provided" he says, but we must have the best SUD- port and cooperation your ship pers and travellers can give to warrant keeping a vessel of this type on the run"

The monthly luncheon meet ing of the Hyder Chamber of Commerce was held Tuesday at the Ideal Cafe with a good sized attendance of members. Various local development sub- jects were the principal themes of discussion and developed a number of interesting feat ures. The luncheon provided by the cafe management fully sus- tained the high standard es- tablished at similar functions held in earlier periods and was keenly enjoyed by those par ticipating.
 It is the intention of the cham Der to hold a luncheon at regu- lar monthly intervals in the fu- ture as a means of stimulating that "get together" spirit, so essential to the advancement of community progress.

C. w. CHEATHAM CROSSES
 GREAT DIVIDE

Chester w. Cheatham former assistant district engineer of the Bureau of Public Roads in Alaska and well known To- cally, passed away recently in Seattle following an operation for appendicitis.
 MT. Cheatham was connected with the Bureau of Public Roads in Alaska for five years prior to being transferred to Portland, Ore, in the spring of 1925. During his residence in the Territory he was in charge of all road and trail work in Alaska for that organization and personally directed it's ac- tivities. As a result of this con- nection he became widely known throughout a large part of the territory.
 At the time of his demise MT. Cheatham was in the engineer ing department of the North ern Pacific Railway, having re- signed from the Bureau of Pub lie Roads shortly after being transferred to Portland. He was a member of the Hyder Igloo, Pioneers of Alaska and also a member of the Juneau Masonic and Elks lodges. MT. Cheatham was A years old at the time of his demise and is survived by his widow and two sons, who reside in Seattle.

loss sustained by MT Hall will approximate several thousand dollars and was but partially covered by insurance. The ves- sel also carried 45 ton con- signment of Dunwell concen- trates of considerable value.
 J. A. Hall, Mrs. Hall, Miss Helen Hall and MT. and Mrs M. R. Jamieson were included among the Hyder and Stewart residents on board the wrecked steamer.
 The stranding of the vessel is said to have been due to the pilot mistaking the proper course, owing to an unusually high tide covering portions of the reef which are normally exposed during high water periods.
 A curious feature of the dis aster is that the Catala appar- ently struck the only part of the long reef which could not be crossed by a vessel of it's size at that stage of the tide.
 A deviation of even fifty feet from the course taken would have permitted a safe crossing.

MOUNTAINVIEW CUTS
 GRAY COPPER VEIN
AT DEPTH

AT DEPTH
 Proving to a vertical depth of over 400 feet the downward continuity of one of the most important veins on the proper ty, the Mountianview Gold Mining Company's Skookum Creek tunnel tapped the Gray Copper Vein at the north end of the property on the night of October 29. The vein was en- countered 1922 feet from the portal at a vertical depth of 400 feet below the outcrops. Subsequent development has revealed that the vein ranges from two to five feet in width at the tunnel level, with ore characteristics identical with those found on the surface A drift is now being run on the ore both ways from the first point of contact to further de- termine the extent of the ore body.
 In a statement to the Herald following the strike, manager Arthur Moa said that the vein has been found to have a pitch of about 55 degrees and the walls are free and clearly de. fined. Liberalization and the presence of stringers of ore 1T the surrounding rock structure also suggest a possibility tha, there may be another parallel vein in close proximity to the first ore body. To definitely de termine the question Mir. Mos plans to drive the tunnel stil' farther ahead while drifting both ways on the Gray Copper lode. Mir. Moa says the ore ir the vein is of good milling grade, the vein is strong and displays the same general characteristics as the surface ore, even to the presence of small shoot of scheelite, whicl apparently follows the veil from the surface down. Tho naturalization is pyrite, pyrrh otite, gray copper and galena Assays of ore from the drift have given returns up to $3E in gold and silver. Owing tc having been cut at a point be- low the east end of the out crops, where there is consider, able overburden, the vein shows up much better at depth than at the surface; also ap- bearing more clearly defined. As the most important surface showings outcrop short dist ance west of the tunnel, MT. Moa anticipates that the veir will show up much stronger af the drift is extended in that di. rection..
 The cross cutting of the Gray Copper vein at such consider able depth is not only a long step toward bringing the prop erty into production but is also an excellent indication that the half dozen large veins found on other sections of the comp any holdings will also go to depth.
 Work will be continued thru out the winter season with one or two crews employed.

HUGE ORE TONNAGE
 ON WOODBINE


 With more than a half million tons of fine grade milling ore in eight, according to expert esti- mates, development work at the Woodbine property contin- ues to yield the same splendid results achieved during earlier periods of operation.
 The cross cut drift, extending east from the main drift, was in 112 feet last week, and in ore all the way. Values found in this cut, which parallels the main cross cut tunnel, 134 feet to the north, have maintained the same general average as those found all through the main drift. A recent sample of ore from this section of the workings gave returns of $23. 63 in gold, silver, lead and zinc
 A new drift, extending north from the main tunnel about 100 feet from the portal, prom jses to open another extensive ore deposit on the side of the tunnel opposite to the earlier workings. This drift was in 60 feet last week, 15 feet being in ore and the remainder running through dyke which traver- 3es the property at this point and is visible on the surface. Manager Malcolm Mckenzie expects to clear the dyke in an- other 35 or 40 feet and the drift is then expected to enter another big ore zone known to lie on the north side of the obstruction. Recent samples of ore from this zone are said to have gone as high as $125 per con in gold, silver lead and zinc.
 M. Celliere, a noted French mining engineer who visited the property recently in comp any with president J. B. Wat son of the Woodbine company, expressed the view that the Woodbine is a mine of the first magnitude and estimated that 558,000 tons of good grade milling ore has been proved, according to statements attrib- to him by Vancouver newspap- CTS on his return to that city. M. Celliere also paid we'll de- 1erved tribute to the ability dis played by mine manager Me Xenzie in opening an ore body of such unusual magnitude at such comparatively small cost in the short space of time since operations were started.
 M. Celliere visited the prop erty as the representatives of 2 group of Paris bankers who are negotiating for a large block of Woodbine shares. The deal is being handled by the firm of Bunch-Henderson < Co.,, of London, England.
 A series of motion pictures of she property were taken re- gently by J. Heron, repre- sentative of the Vancouver Motion Picture Co.,, who film ed the various mining activi- ties above and below ground for exhibition purposes. In ad- dition to giving observers an excellent idea of the operating methods employed, the pict- ures will also reveal the huge extent of the ore bodies found

s. s. CATALA MAY BE
 A TOTAL LOSS

~N~~N-~N may be saved from the jagged shoals of Sparrowhawk Reef, on which the vessel crashed in broad daylight while enroute south from Stewart last week is indicated by late reports.
 Not only is the weather out look problematical at this time of the year but estimates of the cost of salving and restoring the liner to service are also said to run into figures closely approximating cost of a new vessel. On the one hand a long period of good weather is nee essary if the vessel is to be res cued from the rocks and on the other is the prospect that the cost of the operation will be al most equal to the cost of anoth- CT ship. From statements made by company representatives ii appears not improbable that the ship may be abandoned af- ter the removal of such fittings as may be easily saved.
 Surveys of the wreck disclose that the steamer is impaled or the point of a sharp rock pin nacle which penetrates deeply into the midship section of the hold and cannot be freed with out considerable difficulty. Al. efforts to move the vessel arc said to have failed and salvage operations are being directed more to removing cargo than to floating the ship.
 The reef on which the steamer crashed is situated about three miles south of Port Simpson and facing the open sea. In the event of stormy weather devel. oping, it appears practically assured that the vessel will be torn from it's rocky perch and precipitated into the deep water lying on either side ot the reef.
 Photographs of the wreck re- ceived in Hyder disclose that the strcken ship is lying on it beam ends, with approximately half of it's structure submerged at high tide. During low tide periods the bottom of the hull is exposed over a large part ot it's length.
 Details of the disaster related by local passengers indicate that the steamer struck the rock while proceeding through a calm sea and clear weather in charge of a pilot. The crash came as luncheon was being served but the shock was not of sufficient severity to occas- ion much alarm among the A passengers on board. Few ap- peared to realize what had oc- cured until the ship listed and dishes commenced to slide on the table a few minutes after. the impact. The removal of the passengers and mail to the ships boats was accomplished without difficulty, owing to the smoothness of the sea, al- though the decks were tilted at a 45 degree angle before the last of the passengers were en- parked in the life boats. After landing at Port Simpson, the passengers were transported to Prince Rupert on a tug boat.
 Aside from the probable de- struction of a valuable con- signment of furniture belong ing to J. A. Hall, president of the Bank of Hyder, the losses of the passengers were con- fined almost entirely to bag
