PREMIER MAKING
 GOOD PROGRESS
 ON MARMOT TRAM

Reports from the Marmot section late this week disclose that the Premier Gold Mining Co. is making excellent prog ress on the installation of the 4-mile aerial tramway between the Porter-Idaho and Prosperi. ty properties and the mouth of Marmot River.
 Over thirty of the big towers have been installed and only a small number, including five tension towers, are still to be placed in position. With the upper tram terminal at an el- ovation of over 5000 feet, the tramway will have a decided gradient, descending one mile in the three miles of distance between the Porter-Idaho and the floor of the Marmot val ley.
 To meet the tremendous stresses to which it will be sub- jected in traversing the wind and snow swept mountainside, the tram towers are of the most rugged and durable type that can be devised. Fashioned entirely of steel, they are fix ed on a concrete base as solid as the living rock which forms their foundation. To expedite erection, the company is en- ploying a novel method. Pre- viously prepared blocks or pill lars of concrete, in which a heavy bolt is affixed are placed on the prepared rock foundat- ion and are attached directly to the legs of the steel towers. When these are in proper po- sition, concrete is poured aorund them, thereby virtually welding them together in a solid block and fixing them permanently on the rock foundation.

SPECTACULAR STRIKE
 IN PREMIER MINE

Ore riyaling in richness that contained i'll II le spectacular ore bodies mlned in earlier years has been located in the south workings On the third level of the Premier mine, ac- cording to reliable reports reaching town during recent days.
 The ore is said to be of the ruby silver type and shows profuse quantities of the ruddy metal. Unofficial reports indi- cate that the deposit, which is of large extent, carries very high average values. Assays running we'll over $200O per ton are said to have been ob- tained.
 Coming on the heels of re- ports that the mine is on the decline, with only three years or so of activity in prospect, the phenominal discovery dis closes most convincingly that the true potentialities of the famous property are still far from being fully determined.

GOOD PROGRESS ON
 MARMOT GOLD

Tunneling activities on the Marmot Gold property on Mar mot River are reported mak- ing good progress with two shifts employed. The tunnel driven on the lower vein has entered the ore zone at an ap- proximate depth of 80 feet be- low the outcrops. which have been traced over a distance of 1700 feet on the surface. The upper tunnel is still some dis tance from the vein, which it is expected to cut at approxi- mately $50 feet from the port al.
 The two veins are roughly parallel a few hundred feet apart and strike east-southeast with a dip of about 50 de- grees. The surface outcrops of both veins contain considerable free gold, which may be pam ned from the oxidized expos ures, in addition to pyrite, ar seno-pyrite, sphalerite and galena. The upper vein ranges from 4 to 10 feet in width on the surface, while the lower average about 5 feet, with oc- casional increases to 12 feet or more. Assays from the two veins show commercial values turnout their known length.
 Substantial camp buildings have been constructed, and power drills are employed.
 Large quantities of mine and camp supplies have been taken to the property during recent days, and a large supply of oil is also enroute.

PARKER PLEASED WITH VIRGINIA-CREST OUTLOOK

Ernest s. Parker, head of the Premier Border and Crest Con. solidated mining companies spent the past week in the dis trict looking over the results of recent deveopment on the Crest, Virginia, Hobo and oth- CT large groups controlled by his companies, in addition to visiting the great Premier mine and other prominent properties in the upper Sal mon basin.
 MT. Parker expressed himself to the Herald as highly grati- fled with the outlook for the Premier Border and Crest groups.
 As reported in the Herald last week, development activ- ities of the two companies have reached a highly interest ing stage with the extension of the main tunnels to the mineralized areas in which the more important veins are situ- ated.
 MT. Parker said the results so far achieved are distinctly encouraging, and he is entirely confident that valuable mines will be developed.

"GENE" BARTHOLF ON
 RICH PAYSTREAK

E. H. ("Gene") Bartholf, former local mining man, has developed a strong vein of very high grade ore on his Gold Cord property in the Will low Creek district. The prop crty is now controlled by the Golden Bear Mining Co.,, in which MT. Bartholf is associ- ated with a group of influent- ial Los Angeles people.
 Although the property is not in permanent production as yet, shipments are being made to Tacoma. A recent shipment of 400 sacks sent to the sme,t- CT averaged $376 to the ton. Another shipment contained A sacEs having value of $40 per ton.
 The vein from which the ore was obtained has a width of S6 inches. Three additional shipments are to be made this season and development work will be continued during the winter period.

MCGUIRE PROPERTY
 PROVES BONANZA

Hugh B. McGuire, we'll known local mining man, is reported to be on the big paystreak as a result of the recent discov- cry of a huge body of rich gold ore on the Red Elephant property in the upper Duncan River section of British Col umbia, controlled by MT. Mo- Guire in association with a Spokane syndicate.
 News of the big find is re- ported by southern mining journals to have been brought to Nelson, B. C., by reliable parties few days ago.
 The group has been under development during the past two years under the direction of Joe Morris, of Spokane, who originally bonded the property on behalf of the Spo- kane syndicate. later turning it over to Mcclure, with Morris and his friends retaining 8 minority interest.

BUTTE OUTLOOK
 VERY PROMISING

Good progress is being made on the projected 600-foot drift tunnel on the Butte group of the Hyder-Butte Mining Co.,, according to late reports from the property, located on the Salmon River road a short dis tance north of the Riverside mine.
 Although the commencement of the tunnel was somewhat delayed it had been extended a distance of 80 up to the first part of the present week and is being showed ahead about five feet day.
 The drift is being extended along a strong vein of massive galena showing considerable chalcopyrite in a white quartz gangue. The vein in question is one of several important showings extending diagonally down the slope and has been traced approximately 1500 feet on the surface. The ore ranges from 10 to 12 inches to two feet in width along the tunnel and has steadily widen end as greater depth was at tained. Large samples brought to town Tuesday were practic- ally solid galena and of dis tinctly high grade character. One of these is now on display in the Herald office and has at tracted much interest by its spectacular appearance. No assays have been made recent ly and the values had not been determined up to the time o1 writing. although earlier sam- bling gave excellent returns in gold, silver and lead.
 With the recent departure o1 Rodney G. Sargent the man. agement of the property was taken over by J. c. Boulton whose brother, Henry C.. Boul- ton of Seattle, is head of the Hyder-Butte Company.
 MT. Boulton feels that results attained so far are distinctly encouraging and plans to build a permanent camp on the property and also to construct a tram approximately 600 feet long to facilitate the handling of supplies.

 INTERESTING SESSION

The monthly meeting of the Hyder Chamber of Commerce was held in Chamber of Com merce Hall Tuesday evening with an unusually large num- Der of members in attendance.
 The more important develop ments of the session included an interesting address by Robt. J. Sommers, highway engineer of the Territorial Board of Road Commissioners. MT.

 Frak nA. Metcalf, U. S. Min eral Surveyor, also contributed an address, following his ad- mission to membership in the Chamber.
 MT. Metcalf said as a resident of Juneau he is a member of the Juneau Chamber of Con- merce and realized the bene- ficial effects such organizat- ions exert in the upbuilding of the communities they repre- sent. For this reason and be- cause of a desire to assist in the advancement of this sect ion, he had decided to become ] member of the local organ ization and hoped to be of ser vice in promoting the districts advancement. As a govern ment land surveyor, MT. Met calf said he has had an oppor- tunity to acquire close famil- iarity with local mineral poss- Utilities and as a mining engin- ger has been able to further appraise their potentialities. As a result of his observations he is confident that the dist rict presents great possibilities as a mineral producing region.
 MT. Metcalf also expressed the view that he might be able to assist Chamber of Com merce projects by enlisting the help of the powerful Juneau organization and promised his best efforts in that direction when occasion develops.
