The Ladies Mite Society of the
Groom Memorial M. P. Church of
Lewes met at the home of Mrs. Mag
gle Wilson on McFee street on Mon
day night, February 4. A very good
attendance was present about 40
members of the society and the
church being there. Everyone re-
ported having spent a very enjoy
able evening. After the business ses-
sion adjourned a social hour was
held and later in the evening de-
licious home made cake was served

The funeral of the late George w.
Poynter, Is years of age, a former
resident of Lewes, was held here
on Saturday afternoon, at the funer-

on King street.
Due to an accident about two
years ago when a piece of grain
blew in his eye, Mr.. Poynter pract1-
cally retired from active service as
a pilot on the Delaware Bay and
River; although he piloted some YES
sells after this time during the sum-
mer months he actually was placed
on the volunteer retire list about 4
months ago. Since the accident his
general health condition had been
poor.
He started to serve his appren-
ticeship many years ago at a time
when sailing boats and all sorts OF
crafts were on the bay and river. He
was noted for his seamanship and
the extreme care with which he
handled ships. He piled his trade on
the sea for over so years. He was
born and raised in Delaware the son
of the late William Poynter and the
late Jane Gordon Poynter. His first
wife, Rebecca Poynter, died about z
years ago and three years ago he
his second wife who is from
Philadelphia. By his first wife he is
survived by four daughters, Mrs.
Lynford Outten, of Dover, Miss Jen-
ME Poynter, Miss Carrie Poynter and
Miss Reba Poynter, all of Philadel-
phia an dtwo sons, Frank and Harry
Poynter, both of Philadelphia. He is

liam E. Poynter, pilot, who resides
in Philadelphia, and one sister, Mrs.
Sally Tracy of Lewes.

 Mountain Boy
Reach Intersection of High Grade
 Vein and Mann Lead

After several attempts spread over . period of some weeks, the intersection of the high grade vein with the Mann vein on the Mount ain Boy property has been reached, and shows Q width of some thirty feet of exceptionally good milling grade ore, according to what would appear to be well founded rumor circulating in town this week. Exact information as to just what the situation Is at the Mountain Boy seems very difficult to obtain, the management stating that they have no information to give out. However, in following up the report through unof1icial channels, 1t appears that the intersection is located at such a steep place on the mountainSide that it was only reached by use of ropes from above, by which method 1t was opened up. It is further understood that the management are making the necessary arrangements to drift toward this intersection on No. 3 level.
 Development on Mountain Boy has been in progress ever since last fall, and since spring very aggressively. This has resulted in a great deal of work being done, and although the management re- fuses to give out any information at present, it is known that very satisfactory results have been ob- tained.

PRELIMINARY WORK { ON POWER PROJECT
 WELL UNDER WAY

Activities on the new Ameri- can Creek power development project of the Power Corporat- ion of Canada are now we'll un- der way. A crew of about 2O' men is engaged in clearing a road from the Bear River high way to the site of the proposed power plant and in clearing the timber from the site of the projected dam and power house. A large amount of pre- linlinary investigation work is necessary before actual con- struction work is started, ac- coTding to the Corporation rep- resentatives. This will include examination of the rock found- ations of both the power and dam sites.

GEORGIA RIVER MINE
 INSPECTED FROM AIR

N. T. Burdick, one of the prin- cipals in the Georgia River Mining O., Mrs. Burdick, Wellington Beat on, president and organizer of the company, an old-timer of the dis trict and acceded to be one of it's main stand-bys, and R. G. Mellin, mining engineer for the company, had the thrilling and unusual ex- perience yesterday of taking an air trip over the Georgia River section and looking from above upon the surface activities now being carried on there: They rode with Walter Gilbert, pilot for the Western Canada AirWayS, in the flying boat "Pintail," which now makes Stewart its base.

Pliers Wife
 Also A Pilot

Pilot w. E. Gilbert and Mrs. Gil- bert arrived from the south on Monday aboard the flying boat "Pintail," of the Western Canada Airways' fleet. The "Pintailn is a new ship specially equipped for vertical photography and was brought north from Vancouver to Swanson Bay by Major McLaren, where Pilot Gilbert met it and brought it north for the express purpose of taking a number of local pictures, as well as doing a lot of photography from Grease Harbor up the Naas to the Gran berry River for the Power Corpor- ation of Canada.
 Mrs. Gilbert, though a pilot her self of considerable flying experi- ence both in B. c. and Northern Manitoba, was a passenger from Vancouver to Stewart, and as such is the first woman to have flown this journey, making the SIS air miles in six and a half hours. In speaking of her trip. Mrs. Gilbert stated that from Campbell River to Swanson Bay they flew all the way in a storm, but from there north to Stewart they experienced good weather. She is much struck with the scenic beauties of Stew art, and is most anxious to do considerable flying here. Flying a Moth plane of her own in Vancou- yer as member of the Aero Club of B. C., and having flown num- Der of types of machines, Mrs Gilbert is one of the few women pilots in B. O., and of which it is believed that there are only nine- teen in Canada and the U. s. A.

REVENUE CUTTER UNALGA
 PAYS PORT SHORT VISIT

The American revenue cutter "Unalga" arrived Sunday at Hyder and was in port until Monday afternoon, giving the crew a chance for a holiday ashore. The "Unalga" has a varied and inter esting history and a book could be written about the little vessel which patrols the sealing grounds, visits desolate. and :, isolated spots along the Alaskan coast, brings succor to vessels in distress, and covers a field that extends from Hyder to the Arctic Ocean. From here the vessel will go to Halibut Bay, where some of the boys figure on going after bear.

NEW BASE ID BE SELECTED BY
 MP. SYNDICATE

The Western Canada Airways' flying boat "Pintail," with w. E. Gilbert pilot and John Stewart as passenger, made trip to Tiegan lake Sunday, to take in supplies to the three Northern Prospecting Syndicate prospectors there.
 On arriving at the lake a notice on a tree at the campsite notified them that owing to the failure of the plane to arrive as expected on August 18th, they had pulled out for Bowser lake the day before, but as they had not got far the arrival of the plane was heard and they turned back.
 The plane had been delayed owing to foggy weather on the coast. At the lake the conditions were different, and the men could not understand it's non arrival, so decided to leave while they had sufficient grub to carry them through.
 Mineral Belt Further West
 No mineral of sufficient extent was discovered, and exploration showed that the mineral belt lay further to the westward than was supposed when Tiegan lake was selected as the base of operations for the rediscovery of the ore bodies found by placer miners in 1885.
 Gilbert and Stewart cruised for several hours with the plane, cov- ering four or five hundred miles and noting the physical character istics of the country below them. North of the range of high peaks that appears to mark the eastern border of the contact belt, is 8 great stretch of country that MT, Stewart says appears to be good grazing land.
 Mir Stewart got his feet wet in getting away from Tiegan Lake, and when the plane reached an elevation of 10000 feet the cold was uncomfortably noticeable.
 To Select New Base
 The prospectors are to be brought back to Stewart by plane and a new base will be selected nearer the mineral contact from which exploration can be made to better advantage, and when this is ob- tained the prospecting work will be continued.

Securing Data
 on Road Project

The committee from the Stewart Board of Trade and the Hyder Chamber of Commerce, appointed for the purpose of working on the Alaskan International Highway project, is busily engaged accurnu- lating data, with good results.
 The idea appears to be meeting with an exceptionally favorable re- ception in a number of quarters. even outside British Columbia. The Hon. George Parks, governor of Alaska, is intensely enthusiastic for it; so also is the head official of the Alaskan road system. It is learned from Alaskan sources that Cover nor Parks has expressed himself as favoring an appropriation by the Territorial Government of Alaska for assistance in fostering the project.
 Alaskan sources also state that every Chamber of Commerce in Alaska has joined the organization fostered by the Chamber in Fair banks, known as the International Highway Association, for the pur- pose of doing everything possible to bring the project to early fruition.

MELVIN MINE PRODUCES
 SPECTACULAR SILVER ORE

A 10O-pound sample of ore from the Melvin is pronounced by old timers to be the best specimen of silver ore of its size ever exhibited in Stewart. The piece of ore, which is eight or ten inches in thickness, is practically saturated with native silver, which is seen on all sides. intermingled with galena and other silver sulphides, with a small percentage of gang matter.
 Experiments are now being made in c. M. Bryant'S office in an effort to determine the best method of treating this ore. Fifty pounds of it were pounded up and yielded 27 ounces of native silver.

A cable report covering de- velopment progress on the B. c. Silver, issued by the London office of the Selukwe company July 13, provides an interest ing insight from official sour ces regarding the recent high ly promising ore discovery on that property in the announce ment that the ore body encoun- tered in drift 636 on the 9th level had been opened for a distance of 120 feet, with the ore continuing in the face. The average value for the whole 120 feet was given as $22 per ton across a width of z feet. As ore was still to be seen on both the hanging and foot walls, indications pointed to the ore body being of some- what greater width, the esti- mate being around ten feet. Some of the cut samples were said to have given assays rang ing between $60 and $100 per ton.
 The ore body is considered the downward continuation of the rich All Premier stope, ac- cording to the report.

GREEK
 MINING COMPANY
 SURVEY COMPLETE

The work of surveying the big mineral holdings of the Ameri- can Creek Mining Company, on American Creek in the upper Bear River section, has been completed by Dalby B. Morkill, B. c. Land Surveyor, according to Oren F. Hill, president and managing director of the com pany, who returned to town Tuesday, after spending most of the past week on the prop erty. MT. Morkill is now en- gagged in survey work in the Marmot River section.
 MT. Hill informed the Herald that work on the company property, comprising fifty-two claims and fractions, is prog ressing steadily under the di- rection of A. Pasco, local met allurgist and assayer. Between 10 and 12 miles of trail has been built leading to the many different known ore bodies and showings, from which hun dreds of assays have been made during the, past four or five years. The. work now in progress is confined entirely to systematic development of the surface showings. The com- pany is also constructing a good camp, so located that the various and widespread ore ex- posures can be reached by the shortest route possible to at- tain.
 No more convincing evidence of the confidence of local min ing men in the future of the American Creek Mining Go. property could be found than is presented in the authoritat- i've statement that William H. Tolin, manager of the Mount ain Boy Mining, has purchased a very large block of stock in the former company, the prop ties of which adjoin the Mount ain Boy.
 The Mountain Boy is already a proven mine and sensational developments on the property are expected to be announced in the very near future, accord ing to those in a position to know the inside facts regard ing recent operations.

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 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.
 I, of course, would have you understand that l 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 I 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,

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 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 2nd transmitting a copy of the resolutions passed by the Fly 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, I 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 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 quartz mines of the Territory. Certainly mine operator is going to employ an alien in preference to a citizen when under the law it costs twice as much to compensate for the
