OFFICIALS MUM
 REGARDING BIG
 MISSOURI OUTLOOK

The recent visit of s. G. Blaylock and w. M. Archi- bald, respectively manager and field superintendent of the Consolidated M. & s. Go. and Capt. Duncan McVichie, man. ager of the Big Missouri Min ing Company, has not, so far as can be learned, yielded the slightest intimation regarding the intentions of the Consoli- dated company respecting it's tenure of the Big Missouri property. As a result of the official reticence, the question of whether the final payment of $100,OOO will be made by Consolidated on July 21, is still the dominant theme of discussion in mining circles.
 Reports from the south indi- cate a prospect that definite information regarding the Consolidated attitude may be forthcoming before the pay ment is due, owing to a stipu- lation in the bonding agree ment requireing that notice of intention shall be given 10 days before the due date. If this is correct, it is probable that the answer to the puzz- ling question may develop within a day or two at this end, as the Consolidated is not likely to continue its local ac- tivities after giving notice of an intention to relinquish the property. On the other hand, if the company intends to pro- ceed, work will probably con- tinue.
 Southern mining journals al- so indicate that other interests are anxious to take over the bond if Consolidated retires and funds to meet the final payment are said to be on de- posit in Tacoma bank.

TEXAS FLOAT ASSAYS BIC

Assays of the rich float found recently on the Marietta group on the west fork of Tex as Creek have disclosed tha, the ore, although to all ap pearances containing only nat i've silver in large quantities actually carries gold values ia, exceeding the value of the sil yer content.
 A sample assayd shortly aft CT the discovery was announc ed in these columns last week is said to have disclosed val ues in excess of $110O per ton $500 being in gold. The silver content approximated 600 OF
 Although a number of pros pectors are said to have beer searching for the source of the rich ore since its discovery, the parent lode is still undiscover. ed, according to the latest re. ports.

Stewart is agog with excite ment over the recent discov, cry of a big vein of high-grade silver ore on the Mountain Boy group on American Creek. in the upper Bear River sect, ion controlled by the Pat Daly Mining and Development Co.,, of Montreal.
 The ore is said to give assay returns running into the thous, ands of ounces, while an av, craze sample made up of some of the poorest looking rock il the vein is reliably reported to have given returns of 27OC ounces in silver, in addition tc 6 per cent copper. The vein is said to range between 6 and { feet in width and has beer traced for 800 feet.
 The company plans to star shipping the ore at once.

NEW GEORGIA
 RIVER SYNDICATE

The Pedro Georgia River Syn dicate has been organized on the unit basis to exploit a group of promising mineral holdings in the Georgia River section.
 The organizers of the syndi- cate include Paul Meger, Gill bert Berg, Nick Nicholas and Mike Norris, all well known local people. The unit capital ization is 15,OOO units of a par value of 5000 each.
 The syndicate property, is known as the Pedro Group, and includes total of 16 claims located about 6 miles from the mouth of Georgia River. Work done in earlier years has revealed a number of highly promising showings carrying excellent values, &C., cording to assay returns. Samples have ranged up $151.S5, made up .76 OF. gold, 154.24 OF. silver, 16.4 per cent lead and 5.3O copper. The work so far done indicates that the deposits are of con- siderable extent. This fact, combined with the excellent values contained in the ore, make the property a decided ly promising one.

Convicted on a charge of ma 'icious destruction of property n the U. s. Commissioners :ourt Wednedsay, Mrs. Lena Hill was sentenced by Judge w. c. Arnold, to serve four months in the federal jail at Juneau.
 Mrs. Hill, who is an old-timer and known throughout a large part of the Northland as Mother" Hill, was arrested Tuesday afternoon on com plaint of Felix Seppi, propri- etor of the Salmon River Stage Line, after she had smashed the windshield and some of the windows in one of his automobiles and also broken a window in his residence.
 Mrs. Hills attack is said to have been due to a griev- ance over an alleged failure by Seppi to deliver some of her effects. The defendants animosity, however, was ap- parently not confined solely to Seppi, as she is said by the off, ficials to have also threatened to 'start at the piling and clean up the town"

ALASKA BUREAU
 PROFFERS LOCAL
 COOPERATION

Cooperation of the Alaska Department of the powerful Seattle Chamber of Commerce in the furtherance of local de velopment was rendered by Chas. D. Garfield, manager, of the Hyder Chamber of Com merce at a special meeting of that body held Saturday ev- ening in the Chamber of Com merce hall.
 The Alaska department was formed for the purpose of as- sisting the development and lpbuilding of Alaska, Mir. Gar field said, and is desirous of cooperating with the citizens and business organizations of he Territory in all matters affecting the territorial well  fare and progress.
 MT. Garfield also gave an in ,eresting resume of his recent visit to other sections of Alas "a during the past two months md asserted that evidences of increasing prosperity were vis- ble throughout the greater part of the area covered by his trip, which extended as ar north as Fairbanks.
 At the conclusion of MT. Gar ield's remarks Ernest Blue 'alled attention to difficult coalitions resulting from de- iciencies and burdensome in- libitions created by the Ter itorial WOrkmen's Compen- ation law and urged the sup port of the Alaska Bureau in ,fforts to be inaugurated by he local Chamber of Com nerce looking to it's amend nent. As an explanation of the aw would require a large mount of space, publication if details of Mir. Blues argu- nent against it, will be reserv- d for a later issue. Arthur Ioa and John Hovland also poke on the same subject, pointing out difficulties creat- d by the enactment.
 MT. A. w. Carlson, of the J. s. Internal Revenue service, llso addressed the meeting, md gave an interesting insight nto the work of his depart :nent.

Rev. s. V. Warren, whose horticultural efforts last year evoked much local interest, again demonstrated the po- tato-growing possibilities of this locality by harvesting a crop of fine new potatoes on July 4, the date on which he gathered the first tubers of the season last year. One of the larger specimens of the new crop measured IA inches in circumference.
 It is probable that much of Dr. Warren's success in raising early potatoes is due to his method of planting the seed with sprouts protruding from the ground. As a result, the vines develop very rapidly and potatoes of edible size appear in about six weeks.

become discouraged and clos ed up their plants for the seas on. Even at the large camps the shortage of water forced curtailment of work, so that some of them were operating at only half their normal rate. In many of the districts the season opened so late that seasonal frost lasted even un- til August. To round out the tale of difficulties, winter set in unusually early in many To- calities and further curtailed the amount of mining that could be done.
 About equal amounts of gold were derived from lodes and from placers. The bulk of the lode gold still continues to come from mines in southeast ern Alaska, and they are in- creasing rather than diminish ing their output. In addition, these mines are already yield ing large quantities of silver and lead, and plans are under way for recovering zinc from the ores of the largest mine. The placer gold was produced from a number of camps wide ly distributed throughout the Territory. About 58 per cent of the gold recovered from placer deposits was mined by means of dredges. Twenty eight dredges operated in diff ferent parts of Alaska, and though mining of this type is generally less affected by eli matic conditions, even the largest dredge operators were so hampeerd in 1927 that they reported a marked falling off in production. Only one new dredge-that of the American Creek Dredging Company in the Hot Springs district of the Yukon-was built and began mining during the year. The large dredging enterprise in the Fairbanks district reached such a stage that late in the year the material for the first two of the fleet of dredges that are to be built was deliv- cred, and the dredges were SC, up during the winter of 1927. 28.
