WINS KENT MARBLE
TITLE SECOND TIME
Lloyd COVerdale Defeats Girl To
Win Marble Championship

A black-eyed girl from Hartly
tried hard to win the marble Shoot
ing championship of Kent county
held at Dover on Saturday, but lost
to the eagle eyed Lloyd Coverdale,
IA years, of Frederick, in straight
sets.
This athletic maiden is PHILIPPINE
Cirrigione, 13 years, and she proved
her superiority at marbles to such
an extent that she came from Fair
view School to play in the county
finals.
A high wind, biting in its cooIness
at times, bothered the shooters and
Philippines brown knuckles became
blue with cold. She gritted her teeth
though and never let up for a mo-
ment even when Coverdale's keen
playing had put the championship
on ice.
Coverdale won the first game of
the deciding set 8 to and went in
and put PHILIPPINE clear out of the
running by beating her 13 10 0. 1t
was Lloyd's second year victory ov-
er all other Kent county players and
he will go to Wilmington for his
second try at the State title early
next month.
Coverdale is a sharp-shoOter with
keen eye and playing with a Sirl
didn't fuss him up a bit. lie had set
out to win that county title again
and he went through with it. Merle
Shorts, 19 years, Of Oak Grove
School, near Dover, lost out in the
semi-finals.
PHILIPPINE was hoping 20 add an
other medal to her long list OF hon
ors and trophies won in D. 1. A. A.
track and field meets. She already is
possessor of a bronze, silver and
gold medal for her proficiency in
track and field sports.

CONDITIONS FAVORABLE. FOR EARLY WORK
 ON TEXAS CREEK

Snow conditions on the west fork of Texas Creek appear favorable for an early start of mining activity in that section, according to Malcolm Smith, we'll known miner, who re- turned Tuesday from a visit to the district in company with Angus Kennedy. The trip was made for the purpose of get ting out timbers for a foot bridge on tn e trail to MT. Ken nedy's properties, which are located a short distance from MT. Smiths extensive holdings below the Ibex and Homestake groups.
 There is about 8 feet of snow in the valley, MT. Smith says, but there have been no big slides and from the looks of things there may not be any. In his opinion conditions are fav- orable for starting work much earlier than last year.

The irrepressible Joe Jackson has again broken into the pub licity limelight; this time by To- eating and financing local mining property within a space of one month, according to Vancouver newspapers.
 The property in question con- sists of three claims located in the Georgia River section, in proximity to the promising Georgia River Mining Com pany holdings. Jackson who arrived here from the south some weeks ago, located the claims soon after his arrival and later departed for Van couver, where financing of the property was undertaken by the we'll known firm of David son and Davidson. The reports indicate that funds for the op- eration of the property are al- ready assured.
 All of which appears to SUD- port Joe's vociferous and oft repeated declaration that ''you can't keep a good man down" "

PARKER IMPRESSED BY POSSIBILITIES
 OF DISTRICT


 Ernest s. Parker, Winnipeg finacier and president of the Premier Border Gold Mining Go. and Crest Consolidated Gold Mining Co.,, was a visitor in Hyder Sunday and Monday. During the course of his stay MT. Parker, inspected the Vir- ginia group, controlled by the Premier Border Company, but, owing to snow conditions, was unable to visit the Crest and other properties on which his companies will undertake de- velopment work during the coming season.
 Before returning south Mon- day evening MT. Parker in formed the Herald that the large property holdings of the Premier Border and Crest com panies, approximating 200 acres, will be subjected to thorough exploration as fast as conditions permit.
 Owing to the snow, I have. not been able to see a great deal," MT. Parker said, but I am greatly impressed by the mineral production outlook of the district. Judging by what I have learned, this section pre- sents great possibilities and should develop into a highly productive region. Our proper ties are very we'll located and we are prepared to spend a large amount of money for de- velopment work.
 MT. r. J. Crossland, our min ing engineer, will arrive short ly to go over the ground and prepare operation plans," he continued.
 MT. Wm Bunting will be in charge of activities on all the  properties controlled by our companies.
 It is the intention to push de- velopment as rapidly as poss- ible in an effort to bring one or
 1cre of the properties into early production.
 "If we can bring in a mine," MT. Parker added, "I am con- fident that practically unlim- ited funds can be obtained for more extended development in this district"
 MT. Parker plans to return to the district within a brief season and is also looking for ward to spending several weeks during the summer.

WILL PLACE CANTU
 ON PRODUCING BASIS

A strong financial group com posed of Portland and Los An geles interests headed by M. J. Lee, of Portland, Ore, has taken over the we'll known Cantu group, in the upper Sal mon basin and will place the property on a productive basis during the coming summer, ac- cording to MT. Lee, who arriv- ed from Seattle Tuesday to in- augurate activities.
 Accompanying MT. Lee was a party of ten people, including several ladies, who will be en- ployed on the property in vari- ous capacities. MT. Lee also brought in 22 tons of supplies and equipment for use on the property. A compressor and other mine equipment is also scheduled to arrive later.
 MT. Lee informed the Herald that it is the intention to com- mence development of the ex tensive galena deposits known to exist on the property and to inaugurate shipments of the high grade as soon as condit- ions permit.
 That their proposal is emi- nently practicable is indicated by numerous assays in earlier years showing silver-lead val ues ranging from $75 to $150 per ton. The large extent of the galena deposits is shown by the mining of 15 tons by the former owners. Mrs. F. N Cronholm and T. w. McDon- aid, without the use of al ounce of powder. Owing to tho veins pitching steeply into the bluff-like mountainside, but little development will be re quired to prove them to a vert ical depth of several hundred feet.
 MT. Lee and his associates al SO plan to thoroughly explore the huge zone of Premier DOT phyry which traverses the up per end of the property. This zone ranges up to 200 feet il width and has given assay re turns averaging $16 per ton IT, gold. The development planE also include the construction of a road from the Salmon Riv- CT highway to the foot of Sal mon glacier. This will follow approximately the same course as the temporary road built by the Premier company in 1926 and will be of a character tc permit hauling of ore and sup plies by trucks. Permanent camps will also be constructed as soon as conditions permit.
 Associated with MT. Lee il the enterprise is H. M. Colby noted in Portland financial circles, in addition to other strong financial interests. The organization is fully financed to carry on the contemplated development program and has no stock for sale.
 MT. Lee, who visited Hydel last year and bonded the Can tu interests of T. w. McDon- ald, will personally direct the development activities.
