WANTS CUT FROM
 BIG MISSOURI
 SALE PROCEEDS

Asking judgement under a claim of part ownership in the Big Missouri property, recent ly purchased by the Buena Vista Mining Company, Wm. F. Harris, of Port Angeles, has instituted a legal action against Daniel Lindeborg in the B. C.. courts for 5 100000, according 10 Victoria press reports.
 Harris, who is said locally to have been one of the first pros pectors to visit this district, claims a one-third interest in the property, which was locat- ed at a later period by Daniel Lindeborg and his brother the late Andrew Lindeborg.
 Not being included as a CO., owner with the Lindeborg's in the original location Harris suit is apparently based on some allegation of partnership agreement.
 Old-timers here say they have never before heard the slight est intimation that Harris or anyone else has held any claim against the Lindeborg's in con- nection with the property, which has been bonded by the locators on several occasions for large sums.

PREMIER ACTIVITIES
 MARMOT RIVER

Reports from the Marmot River section disclose numer- ous new developments in con- nection with the Premier Gold Mining Company activities looking to the operation of the Porter-Idaho and Prosperity properties on the east slope of Mt. Rainey.
 The program being worked out at present involves an inn mense scope of activities, all of which are merely prelimi- nary to the main object of placing the two properties on a productive basis. A small army of men, divided into sev- eral crews is employed on the various operations, which in- clude construction of a big bunkhouse and power house on the large tract of land al the mouth of Marmot River on which the tram terminal and ore bunkers will also be locat- ed. This has been cleared ot impeding timber for a consid, erable distance back from the new wharf, recently installed,
 The company is also building a new bunk house on the Port er-Idaho property to house the mine crew, in addition to { compressor house.
 To facilitate construction work on the big aerial tram way, a temporary aerial tram line has been installed be tween the lower camp ant Green Point, about halfway up the mountainside. This i; used principally for the con veyance of steel and other sup plies to the crew engaged ol the preliminary tram con struction activities.

 MENT NOW UNDER WAY

Development operations of the Premier Gold Mining Co. on the Silverado property are now well under way, accord ing to reports reaching Hyder during the past few days.
 Work is said to have started on a projected low-level tun- nel, planned to tap at consid- erable depth the spectacular ore deposits located on the surface last year, and from which a valuable shipment was made last fall shortly before the property was purchased by the Premier Go.
 The company has installed a compressor and power plant and has started the construct ion of a large bunk house, for which large quantities of lum- Der have been going up the hill for some days.

MUCH PROSPECTING
 NEAR HEAD OF
 TEXAS CREEK

A marked increase of pros pecting in the upper reaches of the Texas Creek valley and considerable stalking is report ed by arrivals from that sect ion.
 The bulk of the activities are said to be confined to the area along the north side of the valley above Disappearing lake and near the east front of Chickamin Glacier. A number of prospectors have also push ed over the glacier to the southerly slopes of Internal ional mountain, where a prom ising galena lead was located by Sam Swenning last year. Several others are reported to have penetrated into the north ern end of Chickamin valley, which is now attracting much interest owing to the prospect that the district will joon be made more accessible as a result of the government rail building activities insti- 5uted last year.
 The outlook for early open Ing of the Texas section thru he extension of the Texas Creek highway to the head of he valley is apparently the lnimating cause of much of he activity in that locality, al- .hough the recent discovery of :loat ore assaying up to $13,- poo per ton on the Lemmons & Thornton ground has also cre- lted much interest.
 No trace has been found of he source of the spectacular ,re, but a number of import mt silver-lead discoveries are said to have been made.

TO TIE ALASKA CANADIAN BOUNDARY
 TO THE STARS

The task of fixing beyond dis pute the exact location of the 1000 mile boundarly line be- tween Alaska and Canada, by literally tying it to the stars has been undertaken by the International Boundary Com mission, according to recent government announcements.
 Although the exact course of the boundary has been fixed by treaties between Great Britain and the United States and is marked at numerous points by bronze monuments, there are said to still exist possibilities for error and dis putes regarding it's location in the event of the destruction or removal of the monuments. For this reason the Commission is to prepare maps and reports showing the exact latitude and longitude of every marked point on the boundary line, in accordance with a system of precise triangulation known as the North American Datum, 1927, which employs celestial objects as the basis of Operat- ion. Thus the boundary line will be in every sense actually tied to the stars. It is said that the system is so precise that even though the boundary monuments were all obliterat- ed every course of the bound ary could be retraced and marked with exact certitude. While it is true that the stars move in their courses over vast distances every year, ow. ing to their remoteness from the earth the movement is scarcely perceptible and ages must pass away before the | shifting of their position will be altered sufficiently to pro. vide grounds for dispute re garding the boundary location

Stivers report ed a very favorable response to the recent call for assistant librarians to help keep the li- brary open.
 As the next meeting will be the annual meeting and will in- clude election of officers, pres ident Warren named the fol- lowing nominating committee: Mrs. E. D. Haddon, Mrs. E. L.
