Occasionally the Observer pauses for moment in the hurly burly of the day to say a good word for . de- serving cause. This is not going to bea sob story. 70 read on. It is a simple plea for a group of men who. the writer believes, deserve a great deal at the hands of their employers, the public. Reference is to the mem- bers of the New Britain fire depart ment, who have applied for an in- crease in pay of fifty cents a day.
 The Observer has always liked firemen. Ever since the first fire chief he ever knew took him for a ride in rubber tired wagon in the days when horses were de riguer, he has had an affection for firemen. But he wouldn't care to be "on tho department" because there are many things connected with the work which are decidedly disagreeable.
 But there is more than sentiment in this appeal. It is q question of what the writer believes is ordinary justice. We are all apt to cheer for the firemen while he is sitting as- tride an icy ladder on a cold night directing a stream of water on a raging fire. But we are Tickle mind- cd and within a few hours, the picture of heroism fades and we wis ualize the fireman as a good fellow who sits around card table to while away tho bo,Irc ov> Spcpdc hi. +i,v, n polishing the apparatus. The fact that he way be called out at any moment while the rest of humanity sits fin comfortable homes to scale an icy ladder again and risk his lifn to save others does not appeal 90 strongly. That is something which every fireman has constantly in the

FORMER ALASKA MINER
 WINS MILLIONS

George Carson, miner, whose suits against the American Smelling and Refining Com pany and Anaconda Copper Copper Company for infringe ments of his patents covering certain smelling processes, at- tracted nationwide attention in mining circles in recent years, has been fully sustain ed in his claims by the refusal of the United States Supreme Court to review the decision in his favor given by the Circuit Court of Appelas, according to late announcements.
 Carson started litigation sev- eral years ago against the American Smelling and Refin- ing Go. claiming infringements of his patent in the Tacoma smelter. Carson's contentious were upheld by the Circuit Court of Appeals and he also secured a judgement in a suit against the Anaconda con- pany.
 As a result, Carson, who is we'll known in Alaska, will become a millionaire, accord ing to his attorneys.

BANK INSTALLING
 SAFETY DEPOSIT

The Bank of Hyder is again examplifying the spirit of progress which has made the institution one of the most im- portant factors in the develop ment of the town by construct ing a fire proof safety deposit and storage vault on the bank premises. Work on the struct- ure commenced last week and is now we'll on the way to com pletion.
 The vault, the first to be con- structed in Hyder, covers an area of 9 x 10 feet and will contain forty safety deposit boxes, in addition to ample room for the storage of the bank records and other valu- ables. The walls of the struct- ure are of heavily reinforced concrete and sufficiently thick to provide ample security against fire or theft. Although the vault is intended primarily for the safeguarding of the bank records and other valu- ables which cannot be stored in the safe, it is the intention to rent a portion of the safety deposit boxes to the public for the storage of valuables.
 The cement work on the structure is under the direction of Wm. Swenson, local cement and plaster contractor.
 Hyder has now reached 8 stage of development where a public safety deposit is most dsirable and the bank is per- forming an excellent service by it's installation.

GREWSOME TRAGEDY
 NEAR ANCHORAGE

Victim of an explosion which completely destroyed his cabin in the Chickaloon district, Jack Minnis, a we'll known pi- oneer miner and prospector, met his death on September 26, according to advices re- celved at Anchorage.
 The fatality was reported by a man named Schnelled, who has a camp several miles from the Minnis camp. Schnelled re- ported he heard the explosion on September 26 and started the next day to investigate. Upon arrival at the Minnis camp he found the ground cov- cred with wreckage of the cabin, among which was found a portion of a body presum- ably that of Minnis, and also part of his dog, both appar- ently having been in the cabin when the explosion occurred. It was known that Minnis had two boxes of dynamite in his cabin, for use in his prospect ing operations.

PROMISING VEIN
 ON TEXAS CREEK

Discovery of a new vein of fine ore on the Ketchikan group at the upper end of Texas Creek valley is reported by Frank Blasher, we'll known miner and prospector.
 The discovery was made by MT. Flasher while doing the annual assessment work on the property with Alex Hal stead just before the snow closed down mining activities in that section a few days ago. The ore is a very solid galena, showing large masses of gray copper, in addition to a wide dissemination of chalcopyrite, pyrite and traces of zinc. Samples brought to town are undoubtedly of high grade character and should run $1OO or more per ton, judged by comparison with similar ores. The vein runs east and west and was traced for a distance of approximately 300 feet be- fore the snow put an end to further investigations. The full width of the lead is also undetermined, but is definitely known to be at least eight feet over considerable dis tance. The work done, how ever, failed to locate either wall and indications point to the vein being much wider.
 MT. Blasher also discovered several large bodies of quartz porphyry near the lower end of the group and a consider able distance from the galena showing. Mi
 The property includes 2 claims and is situated close to the head of Texas Creek a short distance above the Dis  appearing Lake, on the north slope of the valley. The ground was formerly owned by the late Jerome Dugas, veteran prospector, who apparently, never located the new lead, as there were no indications of prospecting to be found. The property is owned by Louis Hansen, we'll known Ketchikan business man, who purchased a number of interests in prom ising Texas properties during the last year or so.
