WILL HOLD NENANA
 BREAKUP CONTEST

Recent reports from the Fair banks section indicating that the opposition of the postal officials might cause the abandonment of the annual Nenana sweepstakes ice pool contest have been rendered negative by definite informat- ion that the big contest will be held as usual, although the use of the mails in connection herewith has been prohibited.
 A telegram conveying this in- formation was received during the past few days by E. M. Reynolds, proprietor of the Nugget Shoppe. The message gives positive assurance that the sweepstakes will be pulled off under practically the same conditions as have prevailed in earlier years.

Frances Sandford, five-year old daughter of the Herald proprietors, became the victim of a pathetic accident Sunday evening as a result or having her right foot caught in the mechanism of a printing press in the Herald office. Although the press in question is pro- vided with all possible safe guards against accident, little Frances, in some unknown manner, thrust her foot into a small opening, where the toe of her shoe was caught and drawn into the moving mech anism. The resultant crushing and laceration necessitated the amputation of two middle toes and a portion of the great toe. The accident was rendered more ineXplicable by the fact that the little girl, who has been familiar with printing equipment since a baby, had always carefully avoided nov ing machinery up to that time.
 The amputation was per formed by Dr. H. A. Whillans in Stewart Hospital Monday morning with such success that there is every prospect that Frances will not be seriously l crippled.

NEW DEVELOPMENT
 FOR CANTU GROUP

The Cantu property in the up. per end of Salmon River val ley will become the scene of extensive development activi- ties during the coming season as a result of recent success full negotiations by the Hall in- terests with outside mining in- terests headed by Conrad Wolfe, widely known Spokane mining man.
 MT. Wolfle, whose activities in the Occur d'Alene and other districts have placed him in the forerank of western mining op- orators, was an arrival from the south Monday in connect ion with the new enterprise. Following a visit to the prop erty Tuesday, MT. Wolfe in- formed the Herald that he had inspected the Cantu property during an earlier visit and was much impressed by it's possi- bilities, as indicated by the surface aspects.
 Ut looks like a good chance, " he said, "and we are contem- plating a large amount of de- velopment work in an effort to determine its true value.
 The work to be undertaken first will be a thorough sur face prospecting, with later development operations de pending on the results of the earlier activities"
 MT. Wolfe added that he had seen some very rich ore on the property during his last visit and had found ho consider able difficulty in reaching the ground despite winter condit- ions.
 MT. Wolfe returned south again Thursday.

easy to do. Though the prop erty is north of the Chitina, Harrais also investigated the country south of that river and declared that in every gully they went up they found indications of an immense body of good grade ore. There are two distinct grades of ore on the property Harrais is de- veloping. Ore taken from Douglas Creek Margaret Or. and Fourth of July Creek av- erages up to 54 per cent min eral content. From one 24-foot vein the following values were obtained. Copper 13.3 per cent, lead 10.6 per cent, zinc 6 per cent, and silver 1.2 per cent. An eight foot vein carries 17.8 per cent copper, 12.5 per cent lead, 23.6 per cent zinc and 9.6 per cent silver. Harrais is making an effort to have the Chitina trail extended up the river to allow prospectors cas- fer access to the country, and will appear before the Alaska Legislature to petition for this trail.

In a letter to the Herald from Portland, dated Jan. IA, T. w. Mcdonald, who recently en- rolled at the Rankin Flying School, writes that he is get ting along wonderfully we'll in the flying game. Up to the time of writing he had had 22 hours in the air, 12 of which were of the type known as "solo hours," meaning alone and in full command of the ship.
 "Last week." he continues, "I made a trip to Medford, in Southern Oregon, plotting my own course and all. Got there and back just like a homing pigeon. I was quite proud of it for the reason that about 20 miles enroute was dense fog.' MT. Mcdonald stated that he had already mastered four types of planes and would not hesitate taking off" in any type of plane made.
 
 Flying" he ayers, 'is more safe nowadays than people generally think it to be. When one studies the theory of a plane in flight; the factors of safety in the construction and rigging of modern airplanes (which are required by the government) the more con- vinced they become as to the safety of travel by air. Person ally l feel a lot safer in the air than when driving my car on the highway. I have been hit twice during the last month while driving my car"
 Mac. also reports getting along fine in ground school, and has successfully passed a wide range of examinations. He also spends two hours daily on practical work in the shop.

HOSPITAL DANCE
 NEXT WEDNESDAY

The annual dance of the Stewart General Hospital As sociation, held usually on New Years Eve but postponed this season owing to the influenza outbreak, will take place next Wednesday, January 30th, ac- cording to announcements by representatives of the board.
 The entertainment is designed to assist in the maintenance of the Stewart General Hospital, the only public medical insti- tuition in the Portland Canal district, and should receive the patronage of every adult indi- vidual in this section. This ap- plies no less to the people of Hyder than those of Stewart, as Hyder residents are entitled to the fullest use of the hospi- tai and are to a certain extent dependent thereon in time of sickness. It matters not who applies for admittance, high or low, rich or poor, native or foreign, they will be received and given such assistance as the we'll equipped and excel lently conducted hospital af- lords. This is a condition im- posed by the government in connection with the authorizat- ion of such institutions.
 The hospital is supported in part by grants, from the Pro- vinieial government, but the main burden of it's support must rest with the community. Having full and free use of the hospital on an equal foot ing with the residents of Stew art, Hyder citizens are under no small obligation to help in it's support and should do so to the fullest possible extent.
 The forthcoming entertain ment provides a splendid op- portunity to give our commun- al help and everyone in the dis trict should purchase a ticket.
 Aside from the fulfillment of a bounden duty, those of us who patronize the entertain ment will receive their mon- ey's worth from the excellent program and may also partici- pate in the big raffle for a prize of $50 in gold, in addit- ion to numerous other prizes.

ID SEARCH FOR LOST
 ALASKA GOLD SHIP

Alaska gold believed to total approximately $3,O0O, 1000, will become shortly the object of an underseas search in the cold waters adjacent to the Alaska coast, if plans of Geo. Henderson and H. G. Roller, of Seattle, for its recovery are brought to fruition.
 According to an article ap- bearing recently in the Denver Mining World under a Seattle date line, Henderson and Kol- Ter have organized a salvage company to undertake the task of recovering the fortune in gold lost one cold September night twenty-six years ago in the sinking of the Alaska steamer Islander in the vicinity of Douglas Island.
 Early day Alaskans will re- call that tragic event, which swept away the lives of a ca pacity load of men and women returning from the Dawson gold fields with fortunes in nuggets and gold-dust won from the frozen soil. Accord ing to the few existing records, the small office of the purser of the fll-fated Islander held more than three million dol lars in gold when the vessel crashed upon a submerged reef near Douglas Island. The ships safe was filled to over flowing with pokes and pack ages of the precious metal and some of the vast wealth was. stacked in boxes and sacks upon the floor.
 After striking the rock the Islander was said to have part ly filled but later the rising tide carried the vessel off the reef and she drifted off thru the cold, foggy night, only to sink in BIO feet of water about three miles from the point where she was first overtaken by disaster, with a loss of 78 human lives.
 Owing to the depth of water being greater than could be negotiated by earlier diving apparatus, attempts to recover the golden treasure on board the steamer were considered futile. Henderson has now de- signed diving apparatus which he is positive can be used suc- cessfully in water 500 feet. At 5ached to the diving equip nent, which weighs 5000 pounds, is a powerful light which will enable the occupant ] to see a distance of 100 feet 1 at any depth. According to he designer, the apparatus has been tested in 450 feet of water.
 Although the records are
 somewhat indefinite, there ap- pears little doubt that the islander wreck contains fortune in gold, as Lloyd's paid claims of more than $2,O00,0O0 at the time of the disaster. Henderson & Roller plan to start the search for the long lost gold this year as soon as weather conditions are favor able.

ROWLAND GIVES PORTLAND CANAL
 FINE BOOST

Declaring his conviction that the Big Missouri property is destined to become the biggest mine in the Portland Canal district, and that it also posses ses the possibilities of making the biggest mine in America, John Rowland, pioneer mining man and one of the camps most prominent and reputable citizens, gives the Portland Canal district a splendid boost in an interview published in a recent issue of the Alaska Weekly, of Seattle.
 Things never looked bright CT in the Portland Canal camp than they do today" MT. Hov- land is quoted as saying in summarizing local activities and progress.
 In support of his view regard ing the Big Missouri, Mr. Hov- land called attention to his long association with the de- velopment of that noted prop erty; asserting that he had made a thorough study of the mine and it's possibilities and felt no hesitation in express ing the opinion that it is the biggest mine in the district and possibly the biggest on the continent.
 Referring to the Premier, Mr. Hovland asserted that the mine "has sufficient ore opened ur to keep the mill running fo1 the next eight years without further development"
 Premier's acquisition of the Prosperity, Porter Idaho and Silverado groups is also the subject of optimistic comment by MT. Hovland. Concerning the Prosperity, he is attributed with the statement that the company 'has enough high grade ore blocked out to pay
 or the mine and the develop. nent york;" while the Porter
 daho and Silverado are char !cterized as ''very fine pros. ,ects which will undoubtedly make good mines"
 In addition to expoundinp
 he mineral development possi- >ilities of the district MT. Hov. and also called attention tc he fact that Hyder needs 8 modern hotel and declared his belief that such an institution would pay handsomely. Ac. :ording to the Alaska Weekly Mir. Hovland was very insistent regarding the latter need.
