RYDER GOLD DEAL .. INVOLVES WELL
 KNOWN PROPERTIES

The Hyder Gold group, bond ed last week to a Vancouver syndicate by Messrs. Sidney Anderson and Wm. McGrew, although little known to the public under it's present title, is in reality one of the most familiar locations in the low CT Salmon River section.
 A major number of the 21 claims embraced in the group were formerly included in the Hyder-Jumbo group and con- trolled by the Hyder Jumbo Mining Go. Failure of the lat ter concern to maintain devel- opment caused the title to lapse, with the result that the ground was relocated during the past year by Messrs. An- derson and McGrew. The group also includes an exten- sive area of ground outside of the Hyder Jumbo boundaries, previously held under individ- ual locations.
 The tract is located along the international boundary line on the northwestern slopes of Mt. Welker and borders the Titan, Le Roy and Traversy groups. Fish Creek has it's source with in the confines of the group.
 The we'll known High Ore property is in close proximity, being separated from the Hy- der Gold only by the 120-foot boundary strip. The elevation ranges from 5000 to 5000 feet and the property is easily ac- cessible by way of the Titan trail, which extends to within a few hundred feet of the southern border. The property is traversed by a wide mineral ized belt of the type found on adjacent properties but com paratively little development has been done and its true po- tentialities are practically un- determined.

PLANS MAPS OF
 RYDER DISTRICT

A new and up to date map of the Hyder section of the Sal mon River mineral belt is in course of preparation by Frank A. Metcalf, we'll known Jun eau civil engineer and will be placed on the market when completed. K
 To facilitate the compilation, which involves an immense amount of labor, MT. Metcalf has forwarded to various local parties, a preliminary plat of the district, showing all sur veyed properties, in addition to most of the more prominent unsurveyed locations. The re- cipients are requested to pen cil thereon the location of oth- CT properties, not represented on the plat. In view of the large number of unsurveyed locat- ions in this area, this is about the only means that can be en- ployed to determine their sit uation, short of months of strenuous labor going over the ground and tracing out the various boundaries. It is MT. Metcalf's desire to have every property represented. Owners of mining ground can greatly facilitate the work of produc- ing an accurate map by trac- ing the location of their hold ings on one of the plats. Copies have been forwarded to Wm. McGrew, Arthur Moa, Ernest Blue, Ray Snyder, Wm. Bunt- ing and the Herald, in addition to others who are at present outside the district.
 On completing the map, MT. Metcalf will commence the compilation of a map of the Texas Creek area.

Messrs. Thornton and Lem- mons, owners of extensive holdings near the head of Tex as Creek, arrived from Ketch- ikan last week to resume de- velopment work on their prop critics. The partners are expect ing to carry on an extensive de- velopment program this sum- mer. Operations during the past two summers have been greatly handicapped by the ne- cessity of devoting a large part of the working season to pack ing in supplies. Last year, they brought in several pack ami mals and also built a good trail to their ground. As result they can now handle supplies with much greater dispatch.

ANGLE STATION WORKER
 HAS NARROW ESCAPE

1 Caught between the spokes of
 the bull wheel and heavy sup porting timbers in Angle stat
 ion 1 on the Premier ore tram,
 Isaac Finlayson, a station tend
 CT, sustained an almost miracu- {! lous escape from maiming or 1 possible death Tuesday even-
 ing.
 During a temporary shut down of the tram in response to signal from the ore bunk CTS Finlayson, who was alone in the station, attempted to tight en some set screws under the bull wheel and unthinkingly climbed on top of the wheel. While thus engaged he was jared from his precarious perch by sudden slackening of the heavy traction cable, which runs around the wheel. Although the movement was not over few inches, Finlay- sons right leg slipped thru the wheel and was caught between one of the spokes and a heavy wooden beam a few inches be- low.
 Being unabe to extricate him. self and expecting the tram to resume operation at any mo- ment, Finlayson screamed so loudly for help that his cries were heard in town by E. L. Dale, manager of the radio station. MT. Dale providential- ly realized that a mishap had occurred and immediately tel ephoned the alarm to Premier. Tram superintendent Frank Fisher, was notified and reach ed the station in time to check any attempt to start the tram.
 During the interval before Supt. Fishers arrival, the start ing signal was actually sound ed from the ore bunkers and was heard by Finlayson, who doubtless suffered an agony of dreadful anticipation during the few minutes before MT. Fisher appeared and extricat- ed him from the crushing grip of the wheel, with the assist ance of others who had hur- ried to the station, Owing to the great strain of the cable, the combined exertions of sev- eral men were required to pry the wheel back sufficiently to release Finlayson's leg, which would assuredly have been frightfully maimed had the wheel moved a few inches farther.
 Finlayson was hurried to Stewart hospital, where it was found that he had sustained no more severe physical in- jury than a badly bruised limb. At last accounts he was pro- gressing nicely and will be about again in a few days.

NINETY-SIX GROUP
 BONDED

Another important mining dea, involving properties on the Fly. der side of the boundary line, was successfully concluded in the south during the past week with the bonding of the well known and very promising Ninety-Six group on Mineral Hill in the upper Texas val ley, owned jointly by Ray Sny- der and Pete Wilson, we'll known local residents.
 Announcement of the deal was contained in a telegram receiv- ed this week from MT. Snyder, who has been in Tacoma and Vancouver for several weeks in connection with the trans action.
 The group has been taken ov- CT by a Tacoma group headed by H. A. Henton, who will be recalled locally as the presi- dent of the Standard Mines Corporation which bonded the Big Missouri property in 1925, and also as general manager ot it's successor in interest, the Big Missouri Mining Company.
 The bond holders will start a vigorous development cam paign during the coming seas on, work to start on or before May 1.
 The Ninety-Six property in cludes a group of six claims on the west slope of Mineral Hill, facing the Texas Creek valley and about 112 miles north ot the Salmon River bridge at g. Mile. The group is one of the most accessible in the district being situated on the new Texas Creek wagon road.
 Extensive underground devel opment work done by the own CTS in earlier years has opened up an extensive body of galena bearing ore carrying gooc working values. The group al so contains an important show. ing of quartz-porphyry of the the we'll known Premier type which is believed to be an ex- tension of the Premier orc zone.
 Aside from a few open cuts little work has been done or the porphyry zone, develop, ment having been devoted prin. cipally to opening up the gal ena, on which a fifty-foot cross cut tunnel has been run, in ad. dition to fifty feet of drifting on the vein. As a result of this development there are ten tons of shipping grade ore stored in ore bunkers on the property al the present time. The proper ty is equipped with excellent camp accommodations, including the ore bunkers, bunk and mess house and blacksmith shop.
 The deal is the second made in the Texas creek area within the past month and indicates an increasing interest on the part of outside investors in this section of the Portland Canal mineral belt.

WestbOund Excursion
During the past few years a num-
Der of excursions have been made
by groups of Danish-Americans to

American Club of Aalborg, Denmark,
is contemplating an excursion to
America in the summer of 1880. The
club will seek to interest persons in
all parts of Denmark who have rel
atives in the United States, and the
trip, as now planned, will include
visits to New York, Buffalo Detroit
and Racine, Wis, where elaborate
festivities are likely to mark the
visit of the excursionists. Many of the
