WILL PREMIER MILL
 WOODBINE ORE?

The outcome of a recent ex- tensive sampling of the Wood bine property by the Premier Gold Mining Company is being awaited with considerable in- terest in local mining circles.
 Although it has been widely rumored here, and also in Van couver, that Premier was ne- gotiating for the purchase of the WoOdbine, it appears that the story had it's inception in an offer by Premier to under take treatment of Woodbine ore, of which an immense ton mage has been blocked out, as a result of operations during the past two years. This is stated in reliable quarters to be the full extent of the Pre- mier proposal.
 Although no official an- nouncement has been forth coming from either the Pre- mier or Woodbine companies, the suggestion appears to have been favorably received, as evidenced by exhaustive samp- ling of the Woodbine ore bodies by Premier representa- tives in recent days.
 It will be recalled the Pre- mier recently made some what similar offer to the B. C.. Company.
 As seen locally an arrange ment whereby the Woodbine ore could be treated at the Premier mill would, for the present at least, be decidedly advantageous to the Wood bine company, as it would en- able the company to go on a productive basis at once.

PROMISING FIND
 ON OUTLAND BAR

A new vein of ore 30-foot wide and carrying gold val ues ranging up to $20.8O per ton has been located on the Outland Silver Bar property on the west border of Salmon Glacier, according to MT. F. c. Outland. managing director o1 the Outland Silver Bar Min ing Go.
 The discovery was made in the bed of a creek from which water for the camp has been obtained. Owing to a heavy coating of silicious material in- termingled with iron precipl- tate, the presence of the vein was not suspected. MT. Out land informed the Herald that the deposit has been walked over for years but owing to the unpromising looking sur face aspects, no one thought of examining it until a few days ago.
 The ore is of unusual and de- cidedly striking appearance It is a greyish quartz thickly impregnated with bright sil, very colored particles which al first glance appear to be nat i've silver. The silver content is very low, however, the val ues being almost entirely ln gold. Intermingled with the bright-hued metal are blebs of grayish looking mineral bearing close resemblance tc gray-copper.
 The formation is totally diff ferent from any other on the property and MT. Outlanc states that so far he has no. been able to find anyone whc could identify the peculiar ore.
 In the hope that some one will be able to classify it, MT Outland left a sample at tht Herald office where it may bt inspected by anyone interest ed.
 Development activities on the various ore deposits found 1T earlier years are making gooC progress, according to MT Outland. Three tunnels art now being driven on the more prominent veins with satisfact- ory results and the outlook is encouraging in every way, Mir Outland says.

RYDER LEAD OUTLOOK
 VERY ENCOURAGING


 Development operations on the Hyder Lead properties of the Amalgamated Mines Com pany, Inc, near the head of Texas Creek, are reaching an interesting stage and are yield ing most encouraging results, according to company repre- sentatives.
 The upper tunnel, driven on the Jo-Jo lead at an elevation of 46O0 feet and 8 short dis tance below the famous Castle" outcrop, is now in something over 50 feet and has penetrated over 35 feet of quartz showing close grained galena and chalcopyrite thru out, with about 3 inches of solid galena along the hanging wall.
 The drift is to be extended under the Castle" outcrop which is expected to develop a great commercial ore body. The lower tunnel is being run on 8 parallel vein about 100 feet west of the Jo-Jo lead at an elevation of 37OO feet. The tunnel is in about 125 feet and is to be extended along the vein until the ore possibilities are determined and will then be turned to cross cut the Jo-Jo vein at all approximate depth of 900 feet below the upper tunnel. The lower tunnel also shows good mineralization in the form of yalena and pyrites and gives promise of extensive ore possi- oilities.
 Work done during the pres ant season also includes con. ,truction of a large ware house aear the bridge over the North ;ork of Texas Creek, from which point supplies are trans ferred from trucks to pack rains which convey them up he west fork to another ware house near the foot of the hill on which the company proper ;ies are located. The main amp, located about 1900 feet higher up the slope, is one of he most complete and up to late in the district and pro- yides excellent accommodate ons for a crew of IA and can comfortably house several nore if necessary. The struct- Ire is nearly all of metal, be- ng constructed largely of cor lgated iron and is large and .oomy. Conveniences for the rev include shower baths and other essentials of comfort.

NEW LIGHT SYSTEM
 PLANNED FOR RYDER

Preparations for the lnstallat- ion of a local light and power plant, deriving it's power from the waters of a Salmon River tributary, are being made by the International Electric Co.,, Inc, according to recent an nouncements by company of ficials.
 As is generally known, cur rent for local lighting and power purposes is derived at present from hydro-electrlc plants located on Silverado and Barney's gulches, which also supply light and power for Stewart, Hyder, B. C., Sil- verado mine and the Premier wharf and ore bunkers. The heavy consumption overtaxes the capacity of the two plants to such extent that the com pany has decided to place Hy-. der on a practically independ- ent basis through the proposed installation.
 The new plant will be located on Granite Creek, situated a short distance west of town and directly behind the lofty ridge along the eastern slope of Mt. Hinckley.
 Investigations of the possibiIi- ties of the stream during the, past year have disclosed a SUD- ply of water more than suf- ficient to meet local current requirements and the propos- ed system will be so arrang- ed that additional current may be derived from the old plants when required. In the same manner excess current from the Granite Creek plant may if necessary be diverted to meet the requirements of the Stewart section. Company of ficials also say the three plants will provide a stable supply of current to meet all local de- mands for an extended period.
 The company has purchased the water wheel, generator and other necessary equip ment and the approximately 300 feet of pipe line to be used for conveying the water to the plant under pressure have been ordered. Bids have also been invited for the in stallation of the 2l2 miles of transmission lines between Hy- der and Granite Creek. Ten ders received will be opened next Monday and construction is expected to start shortly thereafter. Work will be in- augurated on the new plant as soon as the transmission line is in shape to convey cur rent from the old plants for use in the extensive construct ion work planned. The plant is expected to.be in readiness for operation by the first of the year.

For we ourselves also were

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient deceived, serving divers lusts pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
 But after that the kindness and love of God our Savior to- ward us appeared. not by works of righteousness which we have done. but according to his taef- cy saved us. by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; which he shed on us abundantly through Je- sus our Savior; that being jus tified by His grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.- Titus 3: 3-s.
