BASEBALL EXCURSION TO
 KETCHIKAN PLANNED

A base ball contest between the Hyder and Ketchikan ball clubs is scheduled to take place in Ketchikan next week, in the event that arrangements now being made by the local ball club officials are successfully completed. Under the propos- ed schedule the team will leave for Ketchikhan next Friday by special boat, and will remain in the First City over Sunday, returning to Hyder Monday. As there are a considerable number of local fans who wish to see how the local team stacks up against the Ketchi- kan twirlers, a large crowd, in- cluding a number of lady ball enthusiasts, is expected to accompany the team.
 Club officials expect to se- cure a low excursion rate for those desiring to make the trip and if the crowd is large enough, an effort will be made to secure a larger boat, with better accommodations. For this reason, those who wish to accompany the team should advise w. c. Blanton, mana ger, by Tuesday, so that ade- quate arrangements may be made.

WoODBINE VEIN SHOWS
 INCREASED WIDTH

Further evidence that the huge vein opened up by the lower crosscut tunnel on the Woodbine property, in the up- per Salmon basin is one of the largest found in this district, was demonstrated a few days ago when a cross cut running from the last drift off the main tunnel was extended in good ore to a point 25 feet beyond the face of the main tunnel, thereby disclosing that the big ore body is at least 125 feet wide at that point.
 A sample from the cross cut sent south recently gave assay returns of $48.09 in gold, sil- yer, lead, copper and zinc.
 Work is continuing in the up- per tunnel but, owing to the extreme hardness of the form ation, fast progress is out of the question until the new power plant is placed in oper- ation. The plant is now being installed and will be in oper- ation within a short period. Construction work on the new assay office and blacksmith shop was completed a few days ago.
 MT. Walter Tuck, of Victoria, vice president of the Wood bine Gold Mining Go. arrived from the south today to look over the property.

The spectacle of a large, house of modern type moving sedate- ly along the placid surface of Portland Canal Sunday fore noon caused quite a commotion along the water front. Some of the old timers rubbed their eyes and fell to wondering if there was something wrong with the "jolt" hoisted on the farther side of the boundary line that morning. Several are said to have been so far con- vinced they were seeing things" that they started to forswear further allegiance to bootleg ,even when dispensed, as in some instances, by gay houri's in fetching kimonas.
 One old stager was heard to mutter:
 "B'gosh! No dame in a red shimmy is goin' to get any more of that dope inter me: No sir! not by a darned sight" " Apprehension abated, however when some one discerned that the house was moving up the canal in exact pace with a puffing tug boat and a big sigh of relief emanated from thirsty throats as it was real ized that the two were attach ed by lengthy towline. Later it developed that the house, a snappy six-room affair, had been lowed up from Maple Bay to become the family domicile of John Campbell, Stewart dairyman.

FINE GOLD SAMPLES
 FROM MOUNTAINVIEW

A fine display of free gold ore from the Mountainview Gold Mining Go. properties on Fish Creek were on exhibition in the Provinse store show windows for several days this week. Gold in varying quanti- ties was discernible to the nak- ed eye, in the specimens, and presented a decidedly spectac- uiar appearance when viewed through a glass.
 Arthus Moa, manager of the company, stated that the ore was taken from a vein situated about 60 feet from the face of the Skookum Creek tunnel and 1852 feet from the portal, at a depth of 300 feet below the surface.
 A number of gold bearing veins are known to exist OH property. One of large dimen- sions known as the Gold Vein, and situated some distance be- yond the present workings, has yielded samples of free milling gold ore of the "jew- elry store" variety, in one in- stance 40 pounds of rock from this vein yielded two ounces of gold.
 The Skookum Creek tunnel is being driven in the general di- rection of this vein and should ultimately cut the lead at vertical depth of about 45O feet.

A. H. Jarman, of the Wash ington Mining Go. and R. E. Lundvall, manager, returned Friday from a visit to the Washington properties in the Marmot section and reported that Bill Ryan and members of the mine crew are making good progress at installing the new camp building. The struct- ure, which is designed to pro- vide additional bunk house space and quarters for an as- say office, will be 20 x 40 feet and two stories high.

PORTER IDAHO
 ORE LEAVING

The first shipment of high grade ore from the Porter Idaho mine to go south this summer is scheduled to leave for the Trail smelter next Tuesday.
 Company officials state that a second carload of ore is now on the beach at the mouth of the Marmot but cannot be sent forward until later, owing to limited time.
 Ore is coming down from the mine by pack train at the rate of three tons a daily at present. As the company ex- poets to maintain about the same volume of production as last year, shipments will prob ably be made at the rate of a carload or more a week during the present season.
 Shipments last summer az gregated slightly under 175 ton net smeIter weight but present expectations are that this output will be exceeded this year.

B. C. SILVER REDUCES
 OPERATIONS

A sudden reduction of the crew to one shift early this week and the shipment of a quantity of ore from the B. c. Silver is believed in local min ing circles to indicate a further development in connection with the much discussed Pre- mier-B. c. Silver-Sebakwe merger negotiations.
 The first dispatch of ore came down from the mine Thursday in two team loads of about five tons each. Two additional loads of similar di- mensions also arrived in town Friday.
 In the absence of definite in- formation, it is surmised that the ore was obtained during sampling activities conducted by Premier representatives on B. c. Silver during recent days, and is intended as a test shipment which may determine the ultimate outcome of the merger negotiations.

RECONNAISSANCE OF TEXAS AND SALMON
 AREAS UNDER WAY

J. c. Shepard, metal mining assistant of the U. s. Geologic al Survey, field staff arrived from Juneau this week and will be engaged for several weeks on a minerological rec onnaisance in the Salmon River and Texas Creek areas.
 Mir. Shepard spent some time in the district last fall in con- nection with a number of economic surveys of various local properties, designed to determine the economic value of the mineral exposures and aid the prospector and miner in obtaining a more compre- hensive knowledge of the character, extent and value of the mineral bodies found on their claims. The surveys also provide data for governmental compilations regarding the possible value of the mineral resources of the district in which they are made. His work here this summer will be of more extensive scope and cover a more extended area.
 Mrs. Shepard, who also visit ed the district last year, accom- panied MT. Shepard on the present trip.

The arrival of a large party of New York excursionists on the Grand Trunk steamer caused the main streets of our fair city to assume a decidedly lively aspect for an hour or so this morning; especially be- cause of the fact that a majori- ty of the arrivals were mem- bers of the fair sex. The party constituted the annual excur- sion of the New York Graphic and numbered slightly over 100 persons.

FRICTION CAUSE OF
 TRAM TOWER FIRES

Ignited by friction caused by ] runaway oil drum, three lowers of the Premier tramway situated along the hillside above Hyder broke into flames Thursday night and were sav- ed from possible destruction only by strenuous effort on the part of the employees, who at tackled the flames with hastily collected fire extinguishers.
 No one appears to know ex- actly how it all happened, al- though indications point to the oil soaked cable having caught fire from the heat engendered by the loose oil drum, with the result that the flames speedily attacked the wooden cable supports and later the tower structures; which were blaz- ing merrily when the fire was seen by employees at the angle station. Owing to early discovery the flames were cas- fly extinguished and none of the towers sustained material damage. Also the prompt ex- tinguishing of the three fires probably averted a forest fire which might have caused seri- ous damage to the town.

STEWART WINS
 CUP SERIES

By winning the eighth game of the series on the local ball ground, Thursday evening, the Stewart baseball club again carried off first honors in the annual race for the Universal Supply Company silver cup The score was II to 9, in fav- or of the Canadians.
 The game was marked by hard slugging on the part of the visitors, who appeared to have little difficulty in con- meeting with Besar's elusive curves and batted the ball all over the lot during a series of brisk rallies. Hyder's strength appeared much diminished by the substitution of novices for regular players who could not appear. The rest of the team, although battling heroically all the way, were unable to overcome the lead established by the Stewartites in the earl fer sessions. A home run by McNeill and two three baggers by each team, were also out standing features of the con- test Batteries McNeill and Nicholson for Stewart; Besar, Lloyd and Gregg for Hyder.

HYDERITES VISIT SUMMIT
 OF HOTTEST PEAK

A party of young people un- der the leadership of Attorney Ernest Blue visited the summit of Mount Dolly, loftiest peak in the Hyder district, last Sun day, and were rewarded for their exertions by witnessing as magnificent panorama of lofty mountain tops and vast ice fields as can be witnessed anywhere. One member of the party Miss Marjorie Gale, who has visited the Alps, stat ed that the view was unsur- passed by anything she had seen in that far famed land of mountain vistas. The mountain, starting practically at sea lev el, towers 7500 feet in the air and overtops all the surround ing peaks, permitting a view covering several hundred miles of territory. The ascent of the peak was not difficult, as is evidenced by the fact that Mis- Gale and Misses Lillian Stewart and ThelIna Burleigh, who composed the female members of the party, were not in the least fatigued by the lofty climb.

FOREST FIRE
 DUE TO TRAIL BUILDING

Brush fires started by a crew of trail builders employed by the B. c. Mines department on Bulldog Creek were respons- ible for the dense clouds of smoke hanging over Portland Canal during the past few days. The smoke, as seen from Hyder, suggested that a forest fire was raging in the densely timbered section below Mar mot River and a report to that effect gained wide currency during the latter days of the week.
 The new trail will extend from the beach at the mouth of Bulldog Creek to the vicinity of the Gloria group, situated about 8 miles up the the creek.
 The property is owned by A. Lincke, who, in association with E. B. Fugier, is carrying on development work on a number of very promising leads.
