Battles Not Shown
In War Story Film

Though True Heaven" at
the Dittmann Sunday is episo-
ideally, a story OF the late conflict
OF nations, there Is no scene IN
the picture which brings the char
acter Of the play nor the evolution

On that basis True Heaven"
cannot be called a war story III the
accepted sense. There are no big
guns, no marching regiments. no
battles-True Heaven" is more OF
the period Of the war than Of the
war itself.
Again, True Heaven" proves,
more than all else. that teeming

HOSPITAL TAG DAY
 GENEROUSLY SUPPORTED

Labor Day, last Monday, passed in Stewart more quietly than a church picnic. There was no par ade, no sports of any kind, and the only excitement consisted of hunt ing through depleted pockets for more loose change, at the insist ence of the bevy of girls who sold tags in support of the Stewart hospital. It is understood that the collection was satisfactory, but on account of all the returns not be- ing in yet the results cannot be published until next week.
 In the evening a dance was held in Pioneer Hall, Hyder, which was well patronized by citizens from both sides of the line, and was most enjoyable. Not the least att tractive feature was the supper, which was in keeping with those of the past which have established for Hyder a reputation of provid- ing repasts par excellence as accessories to their dances.

Mayou Crew
 Back At Work
Was Closed Down as Result of Con-
 fiict Between Engineers

Instructions have been received from Vancouver by the Mayou local management to resume work on the property, which was suspended about week ago, and the crew will go up tomorrow.
 Why the shutdown was ordered is hard for the average man to understand, but it appears to be another case of conflict between examining engineers, coupled with long distance management. Prac- tical people familiar with the property claim that it is looking good, and an engineer has reported that there are 500 tons of shipping ore now in sight. This will be sack ed and packed down to the road as soon as the crew get back to work
 This years work on the property amounts to 250 feet of tunneling, nearly all of which was done in developing the galena vein.
 Manager Has Faith
 It is said that one engineer re- ported unfavorably with regard to developing the copper vein, while another strongly recommends that it be opened up. This conflict of authority is confusing to the local management and what the out- come will be cannot yet be foretold. Wm. Tompkins, superintendent. is practical hard rock miner of many years experience in various camps from Colorado to Stewart, and he has great faith in the property. There are many who would rather pin their faith to him in the matter of opening up a prospect than to rely on any tech nical engineer.

GOOD SALMON PACK IN
 ALASKA FOR YEAR 1929

The 1929 Alaska salmon pack probably will aggregate between 4,75O,O0O and 5,00O,0OO cases of all the several grades of fish, accord ing to the estimate of the U. s. bureau of fisheries office in Juneau. It is estimated that Southern Alaska will produce at least 2,0O0,- : 900 cases. While 5,O00,000 cases cannot be said to be bumper pack for Alaska, it win loom up big when compared with the light pack of 1927, and will be nearly as big as the pack of 1928. Most of the fishing areas in Southeastern Alaska were closed to commercial fishing on Angus 10th. The north district of Prince of Wales Island closed on August 20th. The south district of Prince of Wales Island closed Saturday, August 24th.
 Tn view of the fact that this is the off-year and in the so-called two-year cycle of 1927, which was a complete failure, there is general optimism over the fish crop of this season, indicating that the regula- tionS instituted in 1927, while costly to the operators, are bring ing about better conditions and are serving the purpose for which they were instituted, a conserva- tion of the fisheries of Alaska, to the end that it shall endure for all time.

Local Man
 Lost On Unuk
Jess Setteringt0n Was We'll Known
 in Stewart and HazeltOn

That Jess Setterington has joined the long list of victims claimed by the turbulent waters of the Unuk river, is the word brought back by Harry Reid, who has just returned from that section by way of Kct- chikan.
 Reid and Setterington both spent the winter in the Unuk country. the latter having trapping con- cession on the Canadian side, issued to him last fall by magiS- trate J. P. Scarlett. They did not camp together, but Harry had promised to join Jess on the 18th of April. Arriving at the latter'S camp about the 18th, he did not find Jess, and after waiting for two weeks he made a careful search with no results, then went to Ketchikan and reported the mat ter.
 Saw Tracks on Gravel Bar
 The authorities there sent in a polling boat and a party, and searched both banks of the river from its mouth to the Canadian boundary line. Tracks, believed to be Setterington's, led down to the river on a gravel bar, but did not appear on the bar on the opposite side of the river, and 1t Is believed that Setterington tried to ford there, was swept of his feet, and drowned. Aside from these tracks, the most careful search afforded no trace whatever of the man.
 Little is known here as to Set terington's antecedentS He was an inveterate prospector and explorer, and spent most of his time in the hills, keeping very much to him. self when in town. He had been in the Portland Canal district since 1921 and prior to that date had put in considerable time around Hazel ton.

Lucky Jim'
 Shapes Up We'll
Possibility That Big Mining Co.
 May be Interested

Systematic sampling and pros- pecting of the Lucky Jim property in the American Creek section is producing some interesting results.
 Harry Townsend, consulting en- gineer for the Mountain Boy, and also on the field engineering staff of the Anaconda Copper Co, has been giving considerable attention to the Lucky Jim. His latest sample taken across seven feet of the vein, gave 80 cents in gold and 77.8 OF. silver, and he estimates this ore to carry five per cent copper as well. A sample taken by Wm. Bos- ence across fourteen feet of the vein assayed 9.8 per cent copper, and small amount of gold and silver. It is pretty well established that this vein is continuation of the main Mountain Boy vein.
 Owners Still Prospecting
 The Lucky Jim consists of six claims, with which are combined the three claims of the Last Chance group. They adjoin the Mountain Boy group on the north west. They are owned by Plus 'Tolin, Wm. Bosence, Howard Cam eron and John Haati. The, vein strikes northwest and southwest, and dips into the hill at an angle of 45 degrees. Where first discov- cred, it is at the foot of an unScal- able cliff. It has been traced for 700 feet and the owners are still prospecting the ground, which be- cause of its ruggednes, is extremely difficult to explore.
 This summer the claims were surveyed by A. B. Root, P.L.S., and a trail brushed out to connect with the Mountain Boy trail.
 Because the original Mountain Boy claims have been crown grant, ed for many years, the ground near them has been until just recently overlooked by prospectors, they taking it for granted that it was useless to investigate ground close to crown-granted property.
 In spite of sensational assays and the known existence of a series of veins, some of which are of enorm- ous size, the Mountain Boy hill is not yet half prospected and it will be years before it's real value is known.

Suspend Work
 On "Red Top
BOndhOlders Wanted Extension but
 Were Refused

k. Considerable surprise was caused this week by the crew coming down from the Red Top property, which has been worked since last fall by Wm. McAdams and associ- ates, who had it bonded from McNeil and Connors. Reports as to results of the development have invariably been favorable, and the crew who came down say that the property is looking a whole lot better now than 1t was when they started work.
 There are two veins apparent on the Red Top, one carrying values principally in copper, while the other runs principally to silver and lead, the ore being galena.S The copper vein was cut by crosscut tunnel some time ago, and com preSsor was installed A consider able amount of drifting, cross cutting and other underground exploration has since been done and large bodies of ore opened up A croSscut tunnel was driven into the upper, or galena vein, and drifting was in progres when the work was suspended, with the face of the drift well mineralized. This drift was being run to get under g shoot of high grade that has been exposed on the surface.
 Wanted Another Year
 The property is now in a condi- tion to require a considerable amount of work to determine the proper course of development, and it is reported unofficially that the men holding the bond wanted an other year in which to prosecute this work and were refused, SC laid the crew off although the time of the bond does not expire fol another two months.
 l The Red Top is in a particularly rugged location and surface ex- ploration is extremely difficult ant hazardous. There are also said tC be numerous shears and fault planes to complicate the develop. ment scheme.

TONOPAH MINING co. TO TAKE INTEREST IN MARMOT
 RIVER GOLD, IS REPORT

That the Tonopah Mining Con- pany, a powerful United States mining organization, will take an interest in Marmot River Gold Mines Ltd. and proceed with de- velopment on a big scale, provided another promising property can be located to be linked up with Mar mot River Gold, is the statement made by G. R. Bancroft, a director and consulting engineer for the company.
 Mir. Bancroft states the con- clusion has been reached that Marmot River Gold requires a big development program entailing a larger expenditure than the pres ent company is prepared to make. It has been ascertained that lead and zinc values are not persistent and that the company must rely on gold and silver values.
 MT. Bancroft states that Marmot River Gold has not the funds for this big program, but that it is possible the Tonopah company will yet undertake the work.
 Shareholders of Marmot River Gold at a special general meeting following the recent annual meet ing approved consolidation of the shares of the company on ten to one basis in order to lessen the Dominion government transfer tax on shares.

ASSURED OF AMPLE POWER
 FOR THE WINTER

Through a deal just made be- tween the Power Corporation and the Dunwell Mining Co, the town of Stewart is assured of an abund- ance of electrical power for in- dustrial and lighting purposes throughout the coming winter.
 The Power Corporation has pur- chased the power plant of the Dunwell Company and at the same time contracted with the company to supply them with power at a cost that is just about one-half the cost of power as the company was producing it. This is possible on account of the big developments going on at American Creek, where storage dam will impound water sufficient to supply all require ments of this section. This will not be completed, however, until next year, and before that time there would be a. shortage of power in Stewart except for the utilization of the Dunwell plant.
 Good Deal for Both Parties
 It is a good deal for both parties. The Powr Corporation is placed in position to supply the trade, and the mining company is assured of all the power they will require at saving of fifty per cent.
 The plant consists of a 300 horse power Vickers-Petter Diesel engine, coupled with a 450 K.V.A. generator and all the usual accessories to such plant. The buildings hous- ing the plant are leased by the Dunwell Go. to the Power Corpora tion.
 To Erect Pole Line
 Meanwhile the latter are ad- vertising for the purchase of cedar poles, and the 21a miles of trans mission line from Stewart to the Dunwell plant will be completed before the cold weather sets in.
 A crew of men was sent up to the Dunwell this week to prepare for the arrival of a diamond drilling crew who should be here tomorrow, and who will inaugurate a diamond drilling program to follow up the results of the Radiore survey made last fall.

RYDER GETS NEW BRIDGE

Through the combined efforts of the Premier Gold Mining Company and the Hyder Chamber of Com merce, new bridge is being built across the creek on Inte national Avenue. The old bridge was about ready to fall down and it is a wonder that some truck didn't go through. The new bridge will be wide enough for two cars to pass.
