MONARCH VEIN
 SHOWING STRONG
 IN NEW TUNNEL

From a few stringers at the surface to a heavily mineral ized ore body four feet in width within a distance of 19 feet from the portal of the new prospect tunnel is the interest result attained under the de- velopment program launched in recent days by the Hyder- Monarch Gold Mining Comp any on the Monarch group, To- cated between the Riverside mine and the Fish Creek prop critics of the American Mining and Milling Company.
 The vein is clearly defined, with both walls free, and is strongly mineralized across the entire four feet of width, al- though the heaviest concen- tration occurs along the foot wall, according to Arthur Moa, general manager of the comp any.
 Values at the new level have not been determined but ore appears of good commercial grade. Samples taken from the surface exposures a short dist ance beyond the present face of the tunnel have given assay returns running over 1000 ounces in silver per ton and high values are expected when this area is reached. The tun- nel is now in 27 feet and is ex- pected to reach the lower ex- tensions of the high grade zone within a short time. The ore is galena and carries con- siderable gold in addition to the silver and lead values, ac- cording to the surface assays.

Notice

As a result of conditions cre- ated Ey the death of Mrs. C. F. Sandford, the Herald finds itself compelled to appear for a short period in the present form and somewhat devoid of the usual news interest.
 The kind indulgence of pat rons is requested until such time as publication in the usual form can be resumed.

taking such an extensive inter- est in the camp, the develop ment of the great local min eral resources is a certain eventuality. As the terminus of a great transcontinental rail- road, Hyder and Stewart are assured of a great future. Ow- ing to their peculiar situation, both towns are certain to bene- fit by such a development. Whatever may benefit one is certain to help the other to some extent. And to my view it will not be a great while in coming"

MRS. SANDEORD
 OF HERALD STAFF
 PASSES BEYOND

Mrs. Charles F. Sandford, wife of the Herald editor and herself a member of the Her aid staff. passed away at the family home in the Herald building at 9.25 p. m. Thurs day evening, after an illness of two years duration resulting from cancer.
 Her untimely demise was peaceful and her long illness was marked by a most remark able display of fortitude, which enabled her to smile in the face of approaching dissolution. She was 46 years of age at the time of her passing and is sur- vived by her husband, four daughters, two of whom, Mrs. Charles E. Smith, of Ketchi- kan, and Miss Frances Sand ford, of Hyder, were at her bedside. The remaining daugh- ters reside in California and other relatives reside in the state of Illinois, where the de- ceased was born and raised.
 Mrs. Sandford possessed the distinction of being a real pion- ger of the North, having come to the territory in 1900 at the age of IT years. During the en- suing % years of her residence she was outside of Alaska but one and then only for a few months. She resided for many years in the Nome district but came to Hyder in 1922 and assisted her husband in the foundation and upbuilding of the Herald, filling the posit- ions of Linotype operator and reporter.
 The funeral services were held in Pioneer Hall Sunday afternoon under the auspices of the Pioneers of Alaska, of which the deceased was long a member; having affiliated with the women's auxiliary of the mother lodge at Nome shortly after its inception. During succeeding periods she held the office of secretary of the organization for several terms and also served one term as vice-president.
 The ceremonies included the beautiful ritualistic burial serv- ices of the order and were con- ducted by former territorial senator John Roman, acting in the capacity of President, and w. R. Mcdonnell, officiating as chaplain.
 The floral offerings were among the most beautiful and numerous seen here in many years, and the services were attended by the bulk of the towns population, in addi- ton to many from Stewart. The, remains were laid in their final resting place in Riverview ceme- tery, following impressive grave side ceremonies. At the request of Mrs. Sandford, the pall-bearers were made up of old-timers Of the Northland, a majority of whom were personally selected by the deceased lady before her demise, and included the following, T. J. Evans, Clyde Hager, w. R. McDon- nell, Thomas Kelly, L. R. Doggett and J. Kerrin.
 In the absence of licensed undertaken, mortician services were provided by K. A. Ives and the funeral was under the direction of E. E. Charleton.

to compensate for the loss of an aliens life.

to compensate for the loss of an aliens life.
 There is a trite saying of Pres. ident Wilson to the effect that Legislation is generally con- ceived for the benefit of the few and not in the interest of the many" and~it certainly ap- plies to some of the actions of the Alaska legislature. Why on earth a body of men select ed to represent the people of the Territory should incorpor- ate in their compensation act a feature so unjustly adverse to citizenship is beyond my com prehension.
 There were several men in the 1927 session who vigorously opposed this feature of the compensation law but there were also several slick fellows who were working for their masters-the large mine oper- ators- and they were able to secure a majority of votes for the measure.
 l, of course, would have you understand that I am in favor of a workmans compensation act for Alaska and I raise no question regarding amounts fixed in the present law for in- jury or death but believe the whole act a most unscientific hodge-podge and should be changed to conform with the cooperative methods thathave been adopted by many of the States. I believe the revenues of the Territory are ample to allow participation by the Ter ritory in the payment of com pensation to injured workmen. 
 It is possible that other busi- ness organizations in Alaska may take this matter up and make it an issue for the next election of legislative mem- bers. It seems to me that la boring men throughout Alaska should be informed regarding the strange compensation law they are now working under and they might make some ef- fort to have it changed.
 At least a citizen of the Unit ed States resident in Alaska ought to be informed that his legislative representatives have discriminated against him in securing employment, and have by law made aliens pre- ferred employees.
 Sincerely yours,
 Dan, Sutherland

DELEGATE ENDORSES
 LOCAL PROTEST OF
 COMPENSATION ACT

Efforts of the Hyder Cham Der of Commerce to direct at tention to the need for drastic alterations in the present Alas ka workmens compensation law is now attracting the at tention of other territorial com mercial organizations and the various officials and newspap- CTS to whom copies of the re- cent vigorous resolution of pro- test passed by the local body were sent some days ago.
 Judging from comments ap- bearing in the press and in let ters received from individuals and organizations it is very l probable that the local protest against the distinctly inhibitive and highly discriminatory pro- vision of the act will be strong ly supported during the next legislative session.
 Included among the answers so far received is the following communication from Dan. Sutherland, Alaska delegate to Congress, in which he sets forth in no uncertain terms his views regarding the law.
 The communication, dated July II, reads as follows: Your communication of July End transmitting a copy of the resolutions passed by the Hy- der Chamber of Commerce on June 4th with reference to the Alaska Workmens Compensat- ion Act is at hand.
 Although action to correct the most unusual and unsound features of the compensation act of the 1929 legislature does not lie within my province as Congressional Represent ative but is strictly a matter for the Alaska legislature to hand le, feel that I am warranted in saying to you that for sever al past sessions of the legislat- ure proposals have been made to adopt a workmans compen- sation for the Territory that would be based upon the mod ern ideas of some of the pro- gressive states but invariably the proposal has been rejected and we still cling to the anti quated form of the original Alaska Compensation Act. During the last political cam paign in the Territory I called public attention to the ridicu- lous feature that was enacted i in the session of 1927 whereby a premium was placed upon the employment of alien work men in Alaska industry. Sever al candidates for the legislat- ure announced that they would try to have that objectionable feature of the law repealed but it is evident that nothing was done to correct it at the recent session.
 Thus an alien has every advan- tage over a citizen when seek ing employment, particularly in the mines.
 This feature was placed in the law simply because a large number of young aliens are employed in some of the larger l quartz mines of the Territory. Certainly a mine operator is l going to employ an alien in preference to a citizen when under the, law it costs twice as much to compensate for the loss of a citizens life as it does

Alex was struggling, kick

and began picking his way
