WORK STARTS
 ON VIRGINIA

Preliminary activities on the Virginia group of the Premier Border Gold Mining Go. start ed last Friday under the direct ion of Wm. Bunting.
 Work at present is devoted to the construction of campbuild- ings, with a crew of four men employed. The crew will be in- creased to 15 or 20 men, as soon as snow conditions permit commencement of active devel- opment operations.
 The crew is housed under can vas at present, owing to the un- expected collapse of the old Virginia cabin a day before work started, as a result of rain increasing the weight of the snow on the roof.
 MT. Bunting is rushing out building material and supplies daily and expects to have the new camp in readiness for the start of mining activities with in few days.

PREMIER BORDER
 BONDS CASCADE


 The Premier Border Gold Mining Company has further increased it's large mineral holdings in the upper Salmon basin by bonding the Cascade group, according to an an- noucement this week by Chas. Lake, pioneer mining man, and one of the owners of the prop erty.
 The deal involves a cash pay ment, the amount of which has not been made public.
 The property comprises three claims, one of which, Cascade No. l, is one of the oldest and best known locations in the Hyder district, having been staked by MT. Lake in 1918. The group lies along the north boundary of the Virginia group now controlled by Premier Border company and in close proximity to the Border group, recently bonded by the same company.
 The Cascade is owned jointly by MT. Lake and Art. Noble, former Canadian Customs rep resentative at 13-Mile and now of Ocean Falls, B. c. The prop erty contains a number of strong mineral showings of marked promise on which con- siderable development work has been done by the owners in earlier years. One tunnel has been run about 75 feet but has not been extended suf- ficently to reach its objective. This should cut the ore within 25 or 30 feet beyond the pres ent face at a vertical depth of about 100 feet. A second and smaller tunnel has also been run to tap another vein.
 Tn acquisition of the Cascade places the Premier Border company in possession of a very large area, embracing all of the more important locat- ions immediately adjacent to the Alaska-C Canadian boundary line at 13-Mile, in addition to the large area included in the Crest, Hobo and Portland properties, situated in the vii cinity of 9-Mile. The combined holdings of the company are now among the largest in the American section of the Sal mon River district. The com pany also controls the Silver Bell group, one of the most inn portant and promising mineral locations in the highly mineral ized Texas Creek section.

UNIT SYNDICATE FOR
 ENGINEER GROUP

A unit syndicate, organized on the identical terms of the old Porter Idaho Unit Syndi- cate, has been organized to take over and operate the we'll known Engineer group on the south fork of Marmot River, owned by George Bum, widely known pioneer miner and pros pector.
 Under the terms of the unit agreement and declaration of trust filed in the Recorders of flee Wednesday, the unit capi- talization is placed at 15,OOO units, par value $1O per unit. Of the total authorized units, 84OO are to be. isued to the owner, as consideration for the transfer of the property to the syndicate, the balance being retained in the treasury for fi- nancing development. A block of 2100 units will be offered immediately to the public at par value, and should find ready takers, as the Engineer is one of the best known and highly regarded of the partial ly developed properties in the Marmot district.
 Trustees of the new syndicate are Clay Porter, president of the Porter Idaho Mining Co.,. Robert l.. Stewart, widely known pioneer resident, and MT. Bum, who is a miner and prospector of long experience.
 Work done by MT. Bum on the Engineer during the past several years justifies the be- lief of numerous local mining men that with systematic de- velopment the possibilities of it becoming productive are extremely good. The group is made up of four claims situat- ed at an elevation of $500 feet about 6 miles from tidewater and adjoins the properties of the Marmot Gold Company.
 The group is traversed by a mineralized belt about 20 feet wide which contains several important veins of silver-lead- copper ore.
 A tunnel driven on the largest vein disclosed an ore body about AZ feet wide. About 212feet of the ore is of sul- phide character, the remain der oxide, and gives average assays ranging around $25 per ton. One sample obtained re- gently gave 38 OF. silver,60 per cent lead. Ore taken from a shaft farther down the zone gave returns of 31 oz. silver, 25.8 per cent copper. A cross cut tunnel driven 12O feet be- low the upper tunnel is now in 50 feet but has not been ad- vanced sufficiently to reach it's objective.

BUTTE DEAL BRINGS
 SEATTLE INTERESTS
 TO RYDER DISTRICT

bonUlng or the Butte group, announcement of which was made in last weeks issue, brings into the Hyder district a new and strong group of Se- attle interests headed by H. C.. Boulton and Rodney Sargent, according to local principals in the deal.
 Under the terms of the bond ing agreement, the bondhold- CTS agree to spend not less than $15,000 in development work, which will take the form of a 5 x 2 tunnel 500 feet in length driven on the main vein. The work is to start on or before June 5, under the direction of MT. Sargent, who is a practical mining man of wide experience, and is to be completed by December next. In the event that results are satisfactory, the bondholders are pledged to the incorporat- ion of an Alaska company cap- italized at $1,0O0,O00 to oper- ate the property. The company will be known as the Butte Fly der Mining Co.,, with head quarters in Hyder. In addition to a substantial cash payment, the owners, Messrs. c. W. Pet erson, Nils Olson, George Jamme and Cora Tollefson,, are to receive a block of shares in the company as the pur- chase price of the property. The agreement also provides that all parties thereto will pool and escrow 90 per cent of their stock for a period of one year, pending financing of the corporation.
 The property involved in- cludes 10 claims, situated in the lower Salmon River basin near 9-Mile and displays sev- eral strong ore showings.
 Development work has been confined to open cuts and pits, principally on the main vein, which ranges from 21s to 512 feet in width. Liberalization is in the form of lead and iron sulphides, each of which car ry gold and silver values, ac- cording to an analytical report by George Jamme, prominent Seattle mining engineer, who examined the property last fall. Mir. Jamme's investigation disclosed that about 1-1O of the vein shows massive mixed galena and iron pyrites, the remaining portion being more or less spotted. Values ranged from $13 per ton in the spotted parts up to $50 in the massive, unusually high gold values be- ing a feature of the associat- ion. The average value of the ore sampled by MT. Jamme ov- CT the exposed workings was $38 per ton.
 The group extends from the valley floor about 800 feet from the Premier road to ele- vations of 5000 feet along the upper end of the group. The group was discovered and To- cated by c. w. Peterson, who later transferred interests to Miss Tollefson, MT. Jamme and Olson.

ALASKA CORPORATION TO OPERATE THE
 RYDER LEAD

The Amalgamated Mines, In- corporated, operating under the laws of the Territory of Alaska, will develop and op- crate the Hyder Lead property, near the head of Texas Creek, according to authoritative in- formation received by the Her aid.
 Articles of incorporation of the new company were filed in the office of the Secretary of Alaska February IT. The di- rectors and incorporators are George T. Tull, of Calgary, AL berta, Wellington Beaton, of Vancouver, and Ernest Blue of Hyder. The authorized capital stock is 5,OOO,OOO shares of no par value.
 In addition to operating the Hyder Lead, the Incorporation will also engage in mining ac- tivities in other parts of the district.
 The company is subsidiary of a Canadian incorporation known as the Amalgamated Mines, Limited, capitalized at $5,O0O,O0O, divided into an equal number of shares of $1 par value. The latter organi- zation is essentially a holding company and not only possess es large capital, one quarter of the entire treasury having been underwritten within a few hours after organization, but is backed by some of the most influential business and financial interests in Western Canada. The directorate in- cludes A. c. Burdick, of Vic toria, president and general manager of Pacific Salvage Co.,; Henry B. Thompson, former Canadian Food Con- troller and director of the Ladysmith Tidewater Shelters, Ltd.; Geo. F. Tull, president of G. F. Tull 6 Arden, Ltd, of Calgary; N. T. Burdick, presi- dent of the Northshore Dry dock Go. Ltd, and vice presi- dent and general manager of the great Vancouver & Salvage Go. Ltd; Wellington Beaton, president of Hyder Lead Mines, Inc. and Georgia River Mining Go. and Andrew G. Larson, eminent mining engi- neer and geologist, of Van couver and Spokane.
 Mir. Beaton is president of the company and A. c. Burdick is vice president.
 A feature of the organization and one that will commend it as being on an unusually sound basis is that 80 per cent of the entire share capitalization was placed in the treasury, only 2O per cent going to tn vendors of the properties controlled.
 The announced policy of the company is to secure control of selected mining properties by supplying the capital neces- sary for their development and operation.
 Backed by an organization of such magnitude and strength, the American branch promises to develop into one of the most important and active concerns operating in the Hyder district.
