RICH ORE FROM
 MARMOT RIVER GOLD

Some of the most spectacular samples of free gold ore so far found in the Portland Canal district were brought down this week from the Marmot River Gold company holdings in Magee Pass by c. R. Ban- croft, eminent mining engineer, who is directing activities on the company properties.
 Free gold in flakes and specks was visible in all the large number of samples, while in some instances the rock was fairly covered with the aureate particles.
 MT. Bancroft brought down a considerable quantity of the rich ore for shipment south, where it will undoubtedly cre- ate something of a sensation in mining circles.
 The property comprises IA claims and was formerly known as the Ficklin-Harner group. It is located at the head of Magee Pass immediately above the Marlund Mines hold ings and 8 miles from tidewat- CT. The property is traversed by two wide quartz veins in the shattered and decomposed out crops of which free gold values have been known to exist for several years. The upper vein has been exposed over a con- siderable distance by open cuts and stripping and about 12O feet of tunnel has been run to cut the ore at depth. A tunnel has also been driv- en to tap the loweFsor east vein,, on which a half dozen open cuts have exposed ore similar to that found in the upper vein.
 Miners of the Marmot section are of the opinion that the property is one of the most promising in the Magee Pass district and should develop in- to a valuable producer.

PREMIER PREPARING FOR
 MARMOT ACTIVITIES

The Premier Gold Mining Company launched it's sum- .mer development program in the Marmot River district last week by dispatching large quantities of lumber and other supplies to that section, in ad- dition to a crew of 15 men.
 The lumber is to be used mainly in the construction of camp quarters near the mouth of the river, for housing the crew of the projected Porter-Idaho-P Prosperity tram way, on which work is sched- uled to start immediately.
 The new camp is situated on a tract of 20 acres or so taken up by the Premier on the wide flat on the north side of the river entrance. The tract will also be occupied by the tram terminal and dockage facili- ties. Some of the new camp buildings are of considerable size and easily discernible from Hyder.

GEORGIA RIVER co.
 TO START SOON

John F. Coates, mining engi- neer of the Georgia River Gold Mines, Ltd, arrived recently from Vancouver to make prep arations for the starting of the seasons activities on the com pany holdings on Georgia Riv- CT. MT. Coates visited the prop critics last week with a view to making certain improvements on the g mile trail between the ground and tidewater but found snow conditions still un- favorable.
 The company plans to place the trail in condition for the transportation of mine machin- cry and equipment, and will also commence construction of camp accommodations for a good sized crew as soon as conditions are favorable.

SNOW DELAYING R. R.
 RECONDTTIONING

Slow progress is being made on the proposed reconditioning If the Canadian Northeastern Railway line, extending up the Bear River valley from Stew art, owing to the heavy snow till lingering along the right If way.
 Work is continuing on the Bear River bridge, which is nearing completion, and ten ders have been called for the construction of. a new bridge over Bitter Creek, some miles farther up the Bear valley. Tenders have also been author ized for renewal of the old cul- verts and clearing of the right of way but little can be done on the latter projects until the snow is gone from the grade.

DEATH CALLS
 JUDGE REED

Hon. Thomas M. Reed, judge of the U. s. district court for the First Judicial district of Alaska, passed away Monday in Juneau after a brief illness, according to a radio message broadcasted from the capital city. Although the message contained no details death was apparently due to gastric trouble.It is also probable that overwork was an important factor. Judge Reed had been o n the bench almost contiHp- ally for many months, with hardly a rest. Recently he ap- pealed to the Department of Justice for assistance in hand ling the great volume of busi- ness conducted by his court but no action was taken by the department. The Juneau En- pire reported that he had sus- pended court on April 18th and entered the hospital. A few days afterward he was re- ported to have improved suf- ficiently to conclude a partially completed criminal case, after which he returned to the hos pital.
 The deceased juriSt was 68 years of age and had occupied the federal bench in this divis- ion over five years. He is sur vived by his wife, who resides in Juneau; a daughter, Mrs. Constance Reed Haller, of Se- attle; son, Irving Mckay Reed, of Fairbanks, in addition to other relatives residing in Washington state.

NORTHERN LIGHT
 TO START SOON

Development activities on the Northern Light Mines, Ltd, are Scheduled to start at the earli- est possible moment under the direction of G. R. Bancroft, E M.
 The first work to be under taken will include a geological. survey and mapping of the surface in addition to the open ing up of the old workings or the porphyry zones which trav, erse the property and are be iieved to be extensions of the ore bodies of the Premier mine which borders the Northern Light on the south. The proper ty is also said to hold exten- sions of the huge ore bodies opened up on the Woodbine property, situated immediately west of the Northern Light.

ENGINEER MINE SYNDICATE MAKING
 FINE SUCCESS

Excellent progress in financ- ing the Engineer property on Marmot River is being achiev- ed by George Bum and associ- ates in the Marmot Engineer Mine Syndicate, newest of To- cal mining organizations. Or ganized on the identical unit plan which proved so success full in the initial financing of the noted Porter Idaho mine, in the same locality, units of the new syndicate are finding ready favor among the local public and a substantial sum has been raised to initiate large scale development at the earli- est opportunity. The demand for units up to the present in- dicates an excellent prospect that all funds necessary for initial development will be sub- scribed locally, without re- course to outside sources.
 The Syndicate has establish ed an office on First Avenue, opposite the wireless station and is rushing supplies and equipment to the Engineer as fast as conditions permit. An ore car, 500 feet of rails, lum- Der and other supplies and equipment were started up the Marmot last week in charge of Jack Rennie, energetic Marmot packer. A compressor has also been ordered and is scheduled to arrive on the next trip of the Catala.
 ! It is the intention of the Trustees, Mir. Bum, Clay Port CT and R. L. Stewart, to fully equip the property prior to in- augurating development work.

CLAIM OWNERS ASK FOR
 FISH CREEK ROAD

The long standing need for a wagon road into the Fish Creek area to assist mining develop ment was emphasized at Tues day nights meeting of the Hy- der Chamber of Commerce, when property owners of that section appealed to the organi- sation to lend its assistance in securing the attention of gov ernmental road building agen- cies.
 The property owners petition was presented by Arthur Moa, manager of the Mountainview Gold Mining Co.,, the most ex- tensive operators in the Fish Creek section, and by s. P. Fitzgerald, president and man. aging director of the Titan Gold Mining Company, which has conducted it's operations near the head of Fish Creek for years under great difficult ties, because of the inadequate means of transportation. The present means of access to the richly mineralized Fish Creek basin is 8 pack trail which is totally inadequate to meet the transportation requirements of the district.
 The Chamber of Commerce was asked to present the vari- ous road building departments the urgent need of 8 road at least as far as the Mountain view property. Supporting the appeal, Mir. Fitzgerald an nounced that in the event o1 the. government building a road as far as the Mountain view, Fitzgerald Bros. would personally construct an addit. ional mile of highway beyond that point, provided that pro jected plans for the develop ment. of the Titan property are realized.
 Secretary s. V. Warren was instructed to present the ap- peal to the various govern menal departments with the endorsement of the organizat- ion.

FLOOD PREVENTION
 WORK UNDER WAY

Punctuated by heavy blasting which at intervals rocks the town to it's foundations, the flood protection program in- augurated by the Chamber of Commerce and financed by generous contributions from the bulk of Hyder's citizens, is now fully under way with g small crew of men employed.
 The work of turning the river into a new channel is being conducted under the direction of Messrs. Wm. Gray, T. H. Evans and Herman Nichols, with MT. Nichols in direct charge.
 Present activities are, directed to clearing out masses of tim Der and other debris along the old slough, which extends along the west side of the pres ent channel of Salmon River, and through which it is propos- ed to divert the unruly and ev- CT threatening stream into 8 new course. Following the clearing of the slough the riv- CT will be turned into it at 8 point opposite the lower of the two small jetties, installed . few years ago near the north end of town. This will be ac- complished by filling the pres ent river channel with the numerous stumps and logs lit tering the river bottom, a donkey engine and winch be- ing employed to drag the tim Der to the desired spot.
 Should the effort prove suc- cessful, the present serious danger of a large portion of the town being swept away will probably be relieved for another year or two. By that time it is hoped that Congress can be induced to grant suf- ficient appropriation to throw the river into it's long abandon ed course mile or so west of town.
 Subscriptions to the River Protection Fund have reached 8 tota! If $3,665. The Standard |Oil Company of California re- centl:. contributed the substan- tial sum of $2O0 and other sub scriptions amounting to $46 have been received since the publication of the list of sub scribers. Of the total amount subscribed $2,655 has been paid in and is available for the work.

NEW COMPANY TO.
 OPERATE GEORGIA RIVER

Bringing the first details of the new organization, backed by Davidson & Davidson, of Vancouver, which we'll operate in the Georgia River section this summer, Joe Jackson, dis coverer of the mineral wealth of Texas Creek, arrived from Vancouver Wednesday to in- augurate the proposed activi- ties.
 The new company, organizat- ion of which is now in progress will be known as the Portland Canal Gold Mines, Ltd, and will be capitalized at $1,OOO- 900, divided into 100000 shares of 25 cents par, accord ing to Jackson, who holds ere dentials as mine superintend- ent.
 The deal made by Jackson involves three groups of claims known as the Lucky Strike, J. J. J. and Rex, each of which contain six claims. The first named properties are located on tidewater about AZ miles from the Georgia River com pany holdings, while the Rex group is a short distance in- land. Associated with Jackson in the deal are Emil Davis, A. J. Jackson and Harry Boer, locators of the several proper ties, and Frank Reichenback, local business man.
 The Lucky Strike was located by A. J. Jackson in 1921 and has been the scene of consider able development. It contains 3 gold-copper-silver lead of large extent, in addition to three porphyry leads of considerable promise, one of which is said to be 200 feet in width. The Rex and J. J. J. groups cover relocations of older properties and were staked during the present year by Joe and A. J. Jackson, Emil Davis and Harry Boer.
 MT. Jackson states that the transaction with Davidson & Davidson involved no cash con- sideration, the owners receiv- a stock equity for their inter ests, although a substantial cash payment is to be made later.
 As a result the completion of organization will find the com- pany in possession of two thirds of it's entire treasury stock. Davidson & Davidson have already provided suffici- ent funds to start development and a ton or so of mining SUD- plies and equipment is now on the dock awaiting trans portation to the property. A speedy power boat has been purchased and will be used for transportation purposes.
 T-,'+;ol activities will be di- rected to building and equip, ping camp on the lower prop critics, after ,vll'ch a tun1 T will be started on an 8-foct lead of gold-silver-copper ore which has been stripped for several hundred feet. Copper is the predominant mineral el- ement with additional gold and silver values assaying from $4.65 to $21 per ton. The ore also carries a large percentage of silica, which is required by smelters for fluxing and will practically eliminate smelling
