WATSON IN NEW
 MINING DEAL

J. B. Watson, president of the Woodbine Gold Mining Co. Ltd, in association with a group of Vancouver people, has purchased the Granite Poorman mine near Nelson, B. c. The property was formerly a rich producer but has been idle for some time owing to the influx of too much water to handle by the methods em- ployed.
 It is the intention of Mir. Wat son and his associates to drive a low-level tunnel which will drain the mine and give access to the lower extension of the rich ore bodies, estimated to contain several million dollars worth of ore.

STARK INVENTION
 CREATES FAVORABLE
 IMPRESSION OUTSIDE

That the gravity airplane stabilizer device of Edward Stark, local mechanic, is a meritorious and highly prom ising invention for airplane control in the view of outsid- CTS who are interested in aviat- ion matters is indicated by MT. Stark in letter received by last outside mail.
 MT. Stark states in the com munication that in Vancouver he met a number of men who are interested in aviation and new inventions and received much praise and encourage ment from them.
 Following an examination of the working model and blue prints, Major McLaren, of the Western Canada Airways com plimented MT. Stark for his efforts, in addition to inform ing the inventor that he would unhesitatingly recommend the stabilizing device for a tryout. Major Montague Moore, an- other prominent Vancouver man who is a personal friend of Henry Ford, also offered to give MT. Stark a letter of rec- ommendation to the famous auto and airplane magnate, upon Mapor McLaren's recom- mendation. Splendid encour- agement was also received in Seattle from people interest ed in airplane matters. MT. Stark states he was visited by the patent attorney of the Boehing Airplane Go. of Se- attle and after an examinat- ion of the device the attorney was so much impressed by it's possibilities he offered to boost it. MT. Stark had been unable to discuss the invention with the Boehing people up to the time of writing, owing to the head of the firm being ab- sent in the East. As a result of the encouragement received,
 MT. Stark says he feels more confident than ever that the invention has merit and value. Patent claims for the stabi- lizer have now been allowed in Canada, France and Great
 Britain and confirmation in the United States is expected
 at an early date.

est fire of wide dimensions and the almost inevitable de- struction of Hyder B. c. In such event it is not beyond the bonds of possibility that Stew art, B. C., two miles from Hy- der, might have been seriously endangered if not destroyed.
 Flames also appeared on the roof of the Rozenstain store during the height of the con- flagration but the building was saved by a volunteer, bucket brigade which labored, heroically in the fearful heat. to keep the walls wet until the falling of the drug store ruins and a slight change in the wind abated the dan- ger. In the meantime dense show CTS of sparks had ignited the roof of the Fisher dwelling, approximately 500 feet be- yond the fire area and blazing debris started dozens of brush
 fires along the adjacent hill- side. The big hall of the Pio- neers of Alaska, the Hovland
 residence and other structures in the neighborhoOd of the Fisher house were also del uged with sparks but were undamaged. The Fisher dwell ing was saved by prompt act ion and dozens of volunteers
 with shovels hastened to check
 the impending forest fire. The
 Forestry department also is-
 sued a call for 20 volunteer
 fire fighters and Premier
 Gold Mining Company crews,
 under the personal direction
 of general manager Dale L.
 Pitt performed heroic service
 in keeping the forest fires un- der control and preserving 1 the Premier ore tram. Salt
 water sent up the tram in orc I buckets from the dock proved
 a most effective aid in saving

 are said to have been on fire but no more than slight dam

 Owing to the almost unbe

FIRE DISASTER
 TO CURTAIL
 4TH CELEBRATION

The disastrous fire in the up- per business section Thursday will cause a marked curtail- ment of the Independence Day celebration next Wednesday, according to announcements made by the official celebrat- ion committee following a meeting in the Chamber of Commerce Hall Friday even- ing.
 The conflagration was not only a staggering blow to the business life of the town but has cast a pail of sadness over the entire community. Practically everyone in Hyder is of the view that a celebrat- ion of the proportions origin ally planned would be sadly out of place under present conditions, when many of our leading citizens are scarcely recovered from the shock of seeing the fruits of long years of endeavor swept away in a few minutes of ter rifying destruction. Further more, it has been found that the circumstances of certain of the fire sufferers are such as warrant the extension of com munity assistance in order that further suffering may be averted.
 In view of the situation the celebration committee decided to call off the parade and al- so to curtail part of the sports included in the celebration program as originally planned. The children's games will be held at the ball park, starting at 2 D. m. and will be follow ed by the base ball game be- tween Hyder and Stewart. This will constitute the sum total of the outdoor observ- ances and will be followed by the dance in Pioneer Hall, commencing at 9:30 p. m. After extended discussion the committee decided to devote $25O of the celebration fund to relieving distress occasion ed by the fire.
 As the contemplated diver sion of funds would consume a large portion of the prize money allotted for the chil- dren's sports, the deficiency has been made up by donat. ions by kindly citizens, who wished to see the children
 have the fullest possible meas
 ure of enjoyment on the Nat lions birthday. Yael Rozen
 stain led the list of contribut
 ors with $50, the Bank of Fly
 der and Frank Reichenbach
 proprietor of the Hyder Gro
 cery, contributed 25 each; U
 Is. Commissioner w. c. Arnolt
 added $1O and S. P. Fitzger
 aid $5, making a total of $115

area 20 square feet or more n extent. Several hand fire ,xtinguishers were turned on he flames with no perceptible ,ffect and a stream of water rom q garden hose proved ,qually ineffective. Eyewit- ,esses believe that nothing hort of a powerful 3-inch .tream could have quenched he fire at this stage. as all he visible area under the loor was ablaze. Scarcely five minutes more elapsed before he flames were pouring from ,nder the floor on both sides # the big building and the york of destruction was fully lnder way.
 By this time the interior of tore was so hot that it was impossible to save more than few cases of the large mer- handise stock, the workers n most cases being unable to make three of four trips be- ore the store was filled with moke and flame. Beyond a mall quantity of oil and gaso- inc and a few cases of canned .oods, the cash register and a 'ew other articles, the entire ,ontents of the store were 'onsumed.
 In the meantime MT Pro- ,inse, Holger Johnson, E. l.. Dale and others had hastily :one through the hotel rooms ,n the upper floor, salvaging what appeaerd to be the most valuable articles, before he flames drove them out.
 By 1880 p. m. the buildings ,n the north side of the street were also wrapped in flame, nd the Bank of Hyder build ng, on the east side of Kan.

FIRE RAZES CAMPS
 MAIN BUSINESS SECTION

The most costly and widely destructive conflagration in the history of the Portland Canal mining district wiped out the greater part of Hy- der's main business district Thursday afternoon. Tn addit- ion to sweeping away a major portion of the towns most important business establish ments, with a direct property loss approximating $125,000, the flames also spread to the dense timber lining the mount ain slopes north of town, ere ating a forest fire that for time threatened destruction to the numerous residences in the forest townsite and en dangered the famous 13-mile aerial tram system of the Pre- mier Gold Mining Company But for prompt action or the part of numerous volun. teer fire fighters from HydeI and Stewart, combined witl the efforts of crews sent ou, by the Premier Company anC U. s. Forestry Department, i; is very probable that the con. flagration would have in volved practically the entire Hyder townsite, as we'll a: Hyder, B. c.
 Starting about 12:30 p. m from undetermined causes un der the rear end of the two story Provinse general mer- chandise store and hotel, the flames spread with terrific speed to the adjoining Sulli van residence, then swep with ever increasing fury tt the Lawrence building, occu pied by the Hyder Dye Work and located on the east sidt of the Provinse building. Fron this point the fire leaped to the Hill garage and warehouse in the rear of the Hyder Druf Go. store, also containing tho postoffice. Scarcely 20 min utes had elapsed from the time the blaze was first dis covered before the drug store and post office was ablazt from end to end. By this time the red wave of destruction had involved the entire block of buildings, including the Hyder Garage and service station on the west side of the Provinse building, and was Tapping at the two-story structures across the street occupied by the Ideal Cafe P. Burns Go. meat market anc U. S. Marshaps office.
 The absence of adequate water supply or fire fighting equipment was made painful ly apparent by the destruct ion of the last mentioned buildings. Despite the terrific heat, from the blazing infern' across the way, it is probabl that the structures on tn north side of the street coul' have been saved had even
 moderate water supply bee available.
 The fire had gained sue
 headway in the Provinse build ing when discovered by Ma Behrmann, proprietor of tn Ideal Cafe, that hand fir fighting equipment made n
 impression whatever. B. Smith, w. R. Mcdonnell, Wn
 Bunting and MT. Behrman
 rushed to the rear of tt

 stamps and other valuables contained in the postoffice, and a small portion of the drug store stock was also res cued. In attempting to salvage some clothing in the living quarters on the upper floor, MT. Hill found himself cut off from the stairway by flames and was compelled to jump to the street, the fall resulting in two fractured ribs. Aside from this unfortunate mishap there were few casualties. Marshal D. E. Martin suffered a painful burn on the side of his head and several others
 also received minor burns.
 Gus Erickson, E. l.. Dale and
 Joe Jackson narrowly escaped injury as a result of the ex- Iplosion of a stick of dynamite placed under the sidewalk by
 the Bank of Hyder in an ef-
 fort to keep the fire from spreading. Although the ex- plosion occurred almost under
 their feet and blew a large
 hole in the sidewalk, the three
 men providentially escaped
 with no worse damage than 8
 shaking up and bruises.
 The direct loss occasioned by
 the near calamitous fire will
 approximate $140,OOO, accord
 ing to conservative estimates.
 Edgar Provinse with a loss of
 close to $55,OOO leads the list,
 with scarcely a third covered
 by insurance. MT. and Mrs.
 Provinse and Mrs. Green,
 mother of Mrs. Provinse, also
 lost practically all personal
 effects, including jewelry.
 The loss of the Hyder Drug
 Co. will exceed $25,O0O in
 stock, fixtures and buildings.
 Both MT. and Mrs. Hill, the owners, also lost most of theil clothing. The loss is partially covered by insurance. Other losses were approximately aE , follows:
 ] Ideal Cafe and rooming' house, $15,0OO, no insurance , P. Burns 6 Go. meat market : and cold storage plant, $15,
