BALL CLUB DANCE
 BIG SUCCESS

The Hyder Baseball Club dance, held in Pioneer Hall Saturday evening, proved a social as we'll as financial success and attracted a large gathering of dance enthusiasts. A considerable part of the crowd was made up of Stew art residents, about 80 of whom came over and gener- ously gave their assistance in financing and outfitting the local club for the coming base ball season.
 No financial statement had been compiled up to the time of going to press but members state that the net returns will be about $50.
 The club officials have re- quested the Herald to express to the public of Hyder and Stewart thanks of the or ganization for the interest and financial support extended at the dance and also expressed the hope that Hyder residents will display similar generosity by attending the dance to be given shortly by the Stewart ball club to finance that or ganization for the season.

H. B. Jamieson, of Sydney, Australia, who spent a week in camp recently visiting his brother M. R. Jamieson, left last week. MT. Jamieson, who is on his way to England, is not unacquainted with the camp, having visited the dis trict several years ago.. MT. Jamieson is a chartered ac- countant by profession and is also interested in a large num- Der of industrial and other activities, being a board mem Der of eleven corporations. A conversation with a Herald resentative also developed that he is widely acquainted with the mining industry both in Australia and abroad and pos sesses a marked familiarity with the characteristics of var ious ores and minerals of his own and other countries. As a result he is -keenly interested
 in this district and spent sev- eral days visiting various min ing properties in the upper Salmon section in company with his brother. Mr. Jamie son plans to visit Hyder on his return trip to Australia.
 MT. M. R. Jamieson accom- panied him on the trip south.

IMPORTANT AIR PLANE INVENTION PERFECTED
 BY LOCAL MAN

Edward Stark, we'll known
 local engineer and mechan- ician, has perfected and is ap- plying for patents covering
 what is believed to be an
 highly important invention for
 7se on aeroplanes. The device
 8 known as a gravity air. plane stabiliZer" and promis-
 es to work something of a rev.
 olution in future airplane op-
 aration.
 As the name implies, the de- vice is intended to give great
 ar stability to airplanes during flight by automatically bring ing into action those parts of
 he wings known as "ail- erons," the operation of which pervent the machines from oVerturning sideways, and also assist in steering. Mir. Stark's device employees the weight of 5he pilots body to maintain the 2ilerons in the proper position to keep the plane on an even keel, and is so designed that any deviation from a horizon tai position is immediately re- sisted by the gravitational pull thereby provided. The device was perfected by Mir. Stark after several years of experimentation and study of the problem of airplane sta bility. So far as known no de- rice employing similar factors and methods has ever been tried on planes.
 MT. Stark is being assisted in the patenting and marketing of the stabilizer by Clay Port CT and Wm. Bunting. Thru the generosity of these we'll known gentlemen, he will be in a position to have the device fully protected against in- Judgements. Patents are now pending in the United States, Canada, Great Britain and France.

GEORGE COPPER DEAL
 REPORT IS CONFIRMED

The announcement made by the Herald in February to the effect that the Consolidated Mining and Smelling Co.,, op- orators of the Trail shelter, had taken an option on a con- trolling interest in the stock of the George Gold-Copper Com pany and would expend a large sum in development work during the summer, has been fully confirmed by late reports from the south.- The original announcement, how ever, contained few details of the transaction, having been based upon telegrams received by local representatives of the George company which gave only the broader aspects of the deal.
 The more recent advices dis close that the option taken by the Consolidated company in cludes not only 51 per cent ot the George company but also embraces an option on a Az per cent interest of the ven- dor's stock. In consideration of the transfer of the company stock the Consolidated is said to have agreed to carry on de velopment work over a period of two years, commencing July 1. Commencement of activities, however, is made contingent upon the extension of the pres ent wagon road to a point near the property, with sufficient trail to make the group read fly accessible. The agreement provides that if this is not done during the present year the Consolidated company is to pay into George company treasury the amount that would otherwise be expended on development work. In the case of the vendors stock the Consolidated agrees to exer- else it's option not later than June1, 1929, paying an agreed price for the stock taken over under it's terms.

NEW BOUNDARY REGULATIONS TO
 BE ENFORCED

l The enforcement of new reg
 ulations along this section of | the International boundary line was announced this week
 by E. R. Stivers, local Deputy Collector of Customs, and Day. i'd J. Mulcare, Immigration Inspector, in a circular letter addressed to a large number of automobile owners on both sides of the line.
 The regulations provide that all drivers of automobiles, wagons, sleds and other ve- hicles coming across the line from Canada, must report to both the Immigration and Customs offices on making their entry into the United States.
 Owners and drivers are also advised of the future enforce ment of a regulation similar to that now in effect on the Can adian side of the line; name ly that no auto, sled, wagon or other vehicle may legally cross the border into the United States after II p. m., unless special permission has been obtained. This regulat- ion applies to American driE- CTS equally with all other nat ionalities.
 Although the latter ruling is a marked deviation from the earlier practice of permitting vehicles to cross the boundary at night, it is in operation at all other points on the Amer ican-Canadian boundary, and also along the Mexican border, and should not interfere with or cause delay or hardship to anyone crossing the border on legitimate business.
 The official letter announc- ing the changes in border reg ulations also requires both American and Canadian driv- CTS to register for Customs Department use, the make and serial numbers and also the motor and license numbers of their car, and to advise the Customs office of the installat ion of a new motor in cars al- ready registered, together with it's number. A report is also required when car license numbers are changed.

ANNUAL. REPORT OF
 PREMIER GOLD MINING '' COMPANY

salient features of the annual report of the Premier Gold
 Mining Go. for the year 1926, which cannot be reproduced in full, owing to lack of suffici- ent space.
 Enlargement of the mill wa
 completed in March, 1926,
 bringing the mill up to 400 tons daily capacity. Under the present milling system, a very clean table concentrate is made and from the shines and reground table tailings 9 elo IT. ation concentrate is recovered thus producing final tailinr of such low value that cyanid- ing, with it's attendant expense has been rendered unneces- sary. Arrangements were also made to permit shipping to the shelter all concentrates in bulk, thus removing sackine expense.
 Explorations carried on dur ing the year along the main northeastern-southwestern ore zone to the southWestWard of the mine workings, and also on the vein of northwestern strike which intersects the main zone, and also the ore possibilities at depth of the surface showings on the Pictou and Cascade Falls No. 8 claims south of the main workings were not successful in devel- oping new ore bodies.
 A fair tonnage of moderate grade ore, in addition to the known ore reserves of 1925 was opened up during the year. The new tonnage wa@ developed partly in the course of stoping and partly by flat diamond drill holes, which ex- tended the ore limits to great CT widths than previously es- timated, and in some instances picked up small new ore bodies, chiefly in hanging wall sections of main ore zone. Further increase of tonnage resulted from the extension of the 5th level northeastward some 700 it. along main zone.
 The 5th level itself appears to be definitely below the horizon of profitable values, because such ore of conner cial grade as was encountered in driving the the 5th levei along the main zone, was oc- casional and in small, non- mineable punches. Raises put up from the 5th level have al SO shown that the bottom Ot the pay ore is about 100 feet above the 5th level, or 160 it, below the 4th level. The pres ent estimate of ore below the 4th level is approximately 100000 tons averaging 0.40 ozs.. gold and 3.2 ozs, silver. This tonnage may possibly be increased somewhat by devel- opment work in 1927, more particularly as it's width may prove greater than the 20 it. estimated.
 Estimated ore reserves as of Dec. 31, 1926, are as follows:
 Ore broken in stopes 337,087 tons, averaging O.54 ozs. gold and 1882 ozs. silver. With gold at $2O per OF. and silver at 50 cents this represents a gross value of STAG per ton.
 Assured and probable un- broken ore down to the 9th level of present workings, 461,182 tons, averaging 0.43

Porridge That Makes
for Domestic Felicity

When a husband begins staying
mt late at night and cultivating
bIs crop of wild oats, the women
N the native tribes in Central At
rIca provide him with bit of food
considered certain to bring him
back to the path Of domesticity and
proper conduct. The food must
be served without his knowledge,
but, once 1t has entered his sys-
TEN, the woman expects him to be
model husband for all the years
ahead, says the Adventure Maya
dne.
The food is a porridge thickened
With meal made from the flesh of
dried lizards. The wife, taking
the lizard, kills 1t, dries the body
b the sun, pounds it to fine pow
der with stones, then pours into
his porridge the dose the miscon-
duct Of her husband appears to re-
quire.
She is supposed to serve it to
him when he comes in from hard
labor, is tired and hungry, liable
to take the food and devour itwith-
out asking questions. The dried
lizard powder porridge is the anti
dote for divorce court troubles, and
Is said to work we'll among the
people there.

Desert Animals That
Scorpion Can't Harm,

One of the most fascinating
chapters in animal ;poisons is the
subject of natural Immunity, the
fact that some animals are immune
to the poisons of others and remain
unhurt if stung or bitten by the
poisonous animal, whereas all
other sorts of beasts suocumb.
A case in point is that of the
desert animals which are I'M
harmed by scorpions sting. The
desert fox, the kangaroo rat and
other inhabitants of deserts where
scorpions abound are in this happy
position. Their cousins, living far
away from the desert, would at
once be seriously injured by a
scorpions sting, whereas the ,des-
ert breeds remain unhurt. 1t is
to be supposed that in the far dis
tant past, before the desert ami
mails had this complete immunity
to scorpion venom, those which
were stung and could not resist
died, leaving no offspring. Their
luckier brothers. who happened to
have a harder constitution, sur
yived and left behind them a resist
ant race of descendants.-Prof ii.

People Of Mixed Blood

The Melungeons, q, race of peo-
PIE said to be living in the noun
,hins of east Tennessee, are sup
posed to be an offshoot OF the So
ulled "Croatian Indians" of North
Carolina. The name 'Melungeon"
b probably from the French
smelange," meaning mixed. They
are of mixed Indian, white and
negro blood, according to ethnolo-
dsts, although the original admix-
tare Of bleod occurred centuries
ago and the history of these peo-
pie is obscure. The Melungeons,
who In general resemble Indians
more than negroes or whites, re-
fuse to be classed as negroes and
refuse to attend negro schools and
churches. At the same time they
are socially ostracized by the
whites. Although they are as dark

Pittsburgh,s young women hav

Pittsburgh's young women have
various ways of dealing with
"mashers," asphalt arabs" or
whatever the species may be called.
They are not lacking in the art OF
refusing unsolicited ice cream so
das or buggy rides. But this little
tale is handed on for what it may
be worth In an emergency.
The two girls had been visiting
In q rather lonely neighborhood
and were walking to their homes.
The street was deserted except for
two men behind them. After q
time of doubts and apprehensive
shivers, the young women realized
that they were being followed.
They FASTENED their steps, but to
no avail. Gradually the .pursuers
gained, and at last were almost
within speaking distance. The
young women were at loss as to
what to do. Suddenly one raised
her hands towards the other and
began making strange gestures.
The other one did the same.
AT this unusual procedure the
men stopped in their tracks and
stared. Then they turned and re-
traced their steps. Neither, APP
parently, knew the sign language
of the deaf.
Neither did the young women,
who continued in giggiing triumph
to their homes.-Pittsburgh Post.

Comments on Britons'
Lack of individuality

Among the visitors to this cOun-
try Just arrived from the West is
man who left England 80 years
ago. He has prospered abroad and
now comes to take his ease in his
"ain countree.''
What are the differences he
notices chiefly in our national
makeup from the people he left a
generation ago? He tells you
frankly: you're all alike, as like
as two chips. There is a similarity
of faces and expression, of occupa-
ton and idling. / find less indt-
viduality among people here at
home now, less character. less
sharply defined natures. l think
the fact that so many Of you play
some sort of game is responsible
for general lack Of character.
Games. don't develop anything but
your muscles. They cramp the
character, I'm sure.
''In times gone by l can recall
nine out of ten Of my fathers
friends who were real characters,
individuals. They had zest In
life and blazed their own trail,
whether it was a footpath or high
road. 1t was their own way OF
living. They had a definite read
ing of life. Then every person you
met was a new experience. Today
everybody's cut and dried, an eco
nomical factor, eh? And his CHEEKY
laugh mitigated the sting.-London
Chronicle.
