ADANAc TUNNEL CUTS
 HIGH GRADE AT DEPTH

A strike of marked import ance to the Hyder district as a whole and particularly the Fish Creek section was made Saturday on the Fish Creek group of the Adanac Mines, Ltd, when the fine vein of high grade ore located last year on the Lucky Boy claim was encountered in the new tunnel, on which work has been in progress since last spring.
 According to Mine Superin- endent Thomas Robertson, he vein was encountered at a lepth of 275 feet below the point where it was located in
 he upper tunnel and about l75 feet from the portal of the new cross cut. The point of contact with the vein was with n five feet of where it was ex- oected to be. The tunnel was said by MT. Robertson to show l full face of ore, with a high yrade vein along the wall close Q two feet wide and identical with the high grade found last :all in a winze in the upper unnel, from which a test melter shipment gave returns lose to $1OO per ton.
 The remainder of the vein natter, the full width of which lad not been determined, jhows considerable mineral zation in the shape of string CTS and blebs of galena and s apparently of milling grade.

ELECTRICAL PROS
 PECTING RECOGNIZED
 BY MINES DEPT

The value of electrical pros pecting of mineral claims has been granted recognition by both the Department of Mines at Ottawa and the Department of Mines for Quebec, through rulings permitting the cost ot such surveys to be applied toward assessment work or mining properties, according to recent press announcements in the south.
 The electrical method of locat ing unknown ore deposits is said to be rapidly becoming one of the features of success full mining, as it materially lessens the cost of initial de- velopment, in addition to say ing much time.

METCALF GIVES RYDER
 DISTRICT FINE BOOST

The following splendid boost for the Hyder section was giv-
 en by Frank A. Metcalf, dep-
 lty U. s. Mineral surveyor in ] statement to the Juneau En- oire, following his return to Juneau after spending tD summer in the Hyder district.
 Mining development at Hy- der continued to progress throughout the past season, and while naturally slow as is the case in almost all lode min-
 ng districts of it's nature, it has been steady, said Frank A. Metcalf local engineer who returned yesterday after spending three and one-half months in the field. He and his assistant, Ray Mccormick, have b cen making field sur veys there all summer and re- turned home yesterday on the Admiral Watson.
 "The most important factors
 n this seasons progress was he bonding of the Porter Ida ho, Prosperity and Silverado properties by the Premier in- terests, and the acquisition of he Big Missouri property by The Canadian Consolidated in- 5erests. The Premier is doing development work on the first 2hree groups,in including the con- struction of a long aerial tram to the Porter Idaho, and the Consolidated has a large crew at work on the Big Missouri.
 Some fine ore has been un- covered on two properties on Texas Creek on the Ameri- can side of the line, MT. Met calf said. The construction of a road up that creek by the Forest Service, now in progress will greatly facilitate pros- pecting and developing and will be an important factor in speeding up work, he added.
 Unfavorable weather condit- ons prevailed most of the season and slowed up all kinds of W ork in the district. De- spite this, however, consider able progress was made. The spirit of the camp is fine, he said, and confidence in the eventual opening up of a num- Der of paying mines is unabat- ed.

The tin placers of the Hot Springs district, below Nenana, will be developed by English capital, according to reports from Fairbanks. George G. Lemons, who put over the first big development in the Fair banks district, succeeded in in- teresting English capital in the Hot Springs property and the ground has just received the approval of engineers sent north this year to check up on a report which was sent to London a year ago by the first engineers to visit the district. It is understood the company plans to spend upwards of 8 million and a half in the very near future in large scale de- velopment. The same interests are said to have taken over the quartz properties In the Ester belt, known as the Ryan lode, and will work that ground.

turbed by his predicament.
 AS Albrecht would give no clear account of his move ments but little could be learn ed of his antecedents. He ap- parently resided in British Columbia for some time and is said to have made admissions indicating a possible criminal record in the south before coming to this section. Follow ing his arrival in the district Albrecht was employed for some time at the Premier dock during the early summer and made an application to the To- cal immigration office to enter Alaska some time ago but had not qualified up to the time he decided to take French leave in crossing the boundary.
 Following a preliminary hear ing before Commissioner Arm old Monday morning, Albrecht was bound over to the grand jury and left for Juneau We'd nesday in custody of Thomas Kelley, who was appointed 8 special officer for the purpose on instructions of the Juneau officials. Commissioner Arnold also left for the capitol city, having been subpoenaed as a witness in the case. Mir. Powell was also summoned to Juneau for the same purpose. Mir. Kel- ley will also appear as a wit ness.

L. Highet, represent ing the Mitchell Company, of San Francisco, arrived from the south Monday evening to make preparations for launching a large scale program of drilling activities on the Premier Bord- CT properties.
 In a statement to the Herald mine superintendent William Bunting said the contract calls for 5000 feet of drill work at various points on the entire holdings of the company, which include the Virginia, Border and Cascade groups.
 Drilling equipment and a crew of drillers will arrive on the motorship Norco and work will start as soon as the ap- paratus can be placed in act ion.

HoUSEBREAKER IN
 TOLLS OF LAW

l nOuSeDreaker ana peCty LnleI in this locality, Fred Albrecht, an itinerant laborer, who halls from Canada, was arrested Saturday on a charge of burg larizing growing out of the re- cent pillaging of the residence of G. A. Powell, details of which were reported in these columns last week.
 Albrecht was taken into cust- ody on the complaint of MT. Powell, after various articles belonging to the Powell's had been found in his possession, in addition to a large assort- ment of furniture, clothing, bric-a-brac and household ef- fects which apparently form ed the loot of a series of house. breakings committed by AL brecht since his arrival in this locality last spring.
 The capture of the mysterious burglar was effected by U. s. Immigration Inspector D.aJ. Mulcare, who had been on AL brecht's trail for some time, owing to the latter having en- tered American territory with out permission from the immi- grafton authorities. Learning that Albrecht was working at the Seims & Carlson road camp on Texas Creek, ,Mr. Null care visited the camp and de- tected a pair of white rubber boots lying under the bunk oc- cupied by Albrecht. As a pair of white boots were included among the articles stolen from the Powell residence, MT. Null care at once suspected that AL brecht might be the author of that burglary. The suspicion was fully confirmed when a search of Albrecht's effects disclosed other articles ab- stracted from the Powell home, which were at once identified by MT. Powell, who was sum- moned from the nearby John- son-Gardner camp.
 Confronted with the evidence against him Albrecht claimed he found the white boots on the porch of the Powell resi- but would give no explanation of his possession of the other articles.
 A search of Albrecht's cabin following his arrest revealed a veritable store house of articles of every description, a large part of which are definitely known to have been stolen. h. cluded in the loot found in the cabin, which is located near the Powell residence, were many effects taken from the Powell home, in addition to furniture, chinaware and curi- os said to have been purloined from the P. R. Backus resi- dence. According to the offic- ials Albrecht even had in his possession voluminous field notes of surveys made by MT. Backus during his residence here. Ladies wearing apparel is said by the officials to have formed a considerable part. of the loot found on the premises, in addition to a wide variety of other things. It is said that 8 complete list of the goods found in Albrecht's possession would resemble the inventory of flourishing secondhand store. AIbrecht claimed to have found some of the things but denied all knowledge of a majority of the articles found and appeared but little per-

THE wooDBINE REPORT

Eaten report on the Woodbine property is presented below in response to many requests by local readers:
 There is no commercial ore exposed in the underground workings on the property and there are no surface exposures that show more than a reas- onable possibility of further prospecting demonstrating the presence of commercial ore.
 "The sampling lately carried out by officials of the Premier Gold Mining Company Ltd. is completely reliable and truly represents conditions in the underground workings.
 This sampling has been care fully checked up by resam- bling, under the~ direction of the writer, all sections where values were reported by the Premier or where values have been obtained from samples taken by the Woodbine man. agement.
 "The occurrence of gold and silver values in the workings combined with the structural possibilities outlined in the body of our report, is justifi- cation for our recommendation that this property should be thoroughly prospected.
 "We recommend that the di- rectors provide a sum of ap- .proximately $50,OOO to be ex- pended at the rate of about $5O0O per month, to cover the cost of the prospecting pro- gramme described below. Eur ther development work will be decided on the results of this work and a further sum of $1OO,OOO should be avail able for development if the results of the preliminary work warrant this further ex- penditure.
 "The prospecting programme we recommend to be carried out by the company consists of the following work:
 Underground work, which is now being started, to prove or disprove the occurrence of eco- homie ore in the sections of the underground workings where sampling has shown the occurrence of values. That values will be cratic, in de- posits of this type, must be ex- pected, and when values are encountered, prospecting in that section should be perse- vered with until the presence of an ore body is proved or definitely disproved.
 "As soon as satisfactory ar engagements can be made to do so commence diamond drilling from the surface, in the north east quarter of the Vancouver No. mineral claim to test out crops exposed in this section of the property, and which, possibly, are part of the silici- fled mineraliZed zone running into the Woodbine ground from the Northern Light group. This drilling should be started as soon as possible, as drilling from the surface will be ex- pedient for only a short time this fall on account of climatic conditions. However, diamond drilling on this property must be very carefully done and a high saving of core made, or the results will be totally un- reliable. Therefore, in spite of the fact that it is desirable that as much of this work as
