CANADIAN AIRPLANE
 TO AID PROSPECTING

A Western Canada Airways seaplane arrived at Stewart this Saturday. afternoon to convey a number of prospect ing and survey outfits and SUD- plies to various points in the region back of Stewart. The plane is scheduled to carry a surveying crew and several prospectors into the Bowser Lake country where they will work on properties acquired recently by the Consolidated Mining and Smelling Co.,, and another into the Iskut section for the recently organized Northern Prospector Syndicate of Stewart. Other outfits are also said to be figuring on em- ploying the plane to transport men and supplies to various other remote points.

ure of the locals to do better was a distinct shock to the Fly der ball fans. The Stewart team has now won four games in the annual series for the Universal cup and needs but one more game to win the series.
 The closing event of the cele- bration, the Pioneer dance, was one of the most enjoyable entertainments of the year and attracted unusually large pat ronage. Excellent music was provided, while the luncheon prepared by the skillful hands of the pioneer ladies was all that could be desired. The dance continued until 3 a. m. Friday morning, all present being decidedly loath to leave until the last possible moment.

A third plane, the Sitka is operat- ing around Seattle and a fourth ship of the air-express type, with capacity for six passen- gers, was recently completed and will probably be em- plOyed in the Alaska service.

NEXT BALL GAME

The next game of the base ball series will be held in Stew art next Saturday evening, according to an announcement by officials of the local base ball club. The change from Sunday afternoon is said to be due to the desire of members of the Stewart and Hyder teams to devote their Sundays to other forms of amusement, now that the balmy days of summer are at hand.
 MT. and Mrs. w. c. Blanton have taken up their residence in Stewart, where MT. Blanton is now engaged in the broker age business.

The installation of the new power plant on the Northern Light property was completed last week, according to arriv- als from that section. The new equipment is said to be working in the best manner possible and will provide am- pie power for wide increase in the volume of underground activities. It is also reported that full crew will be put to work within brief period.
 Reports from the south indi- cate that the Northern Light company has decided, as a re- suit of the recent merger with the Premier Border, to wind up its affairs, shareholders in the company to receive share for share in Premier Border stock.

FOURTH CELEBRATION

The Independence Day cele-
 bration Thursday, although somewhat dampened by the in- element weather, was success ful in every particular and was greatly enjoyed by the resi- dents of the district on both
 sides of the boundary line; which appears to become prac- tically non-existent for a time
 on the occasion of public holi- days in this neck of the North. No parade was held this year, the festivities being confined to an extensive program of field sports for young and old; a baseball game between the Hy-
 der and Stewart ball teams,
 and a dance under the auspices of the Pioneers of Alaska in the evening.
 Lack of sufficient space pre- cludes publication of the long
 list of winners in the various field contests, which included
 pole vaulting for the first time
 ill the camps history.
 The baseball game proved a
 walk-over for Stewart, who al- lowed the Hyder team but one
 solitary run, meanwhile piling
 up so many runs for their own
 side that the score-keeper wore
 out all his pencils chalking
 them up. Coming almost on
 top of the very excellent show

CONSOLIDATED CO. BUYS CONTROL OF
 RA|LAOAD PROJECT

The Consolidated Mining and Smelling Company has purch- ased the entire railroad and other local interests of the Vancouver Holdings, Limited, and is now in full control of the Canadian Nrtheastern Rail- way Company, according to advices received in Stewart this week from Hon. H. H. Stevens, chief sponsor of the much discussed Stewart Peace River railroad project.
 Although an expected event. uality of the railroad situation, the announcement has been the source of great satisfaction to the citizens of the district, as it means not only adequate finances for that important project but also indicates the probable early rehabilitation of the old railroad and extens- ion at least as far as the head of Bear valley, where the Con- solidated company is develop ing the George Copper proper ty, estimated to contain many millions of dollars worth of gold-copper ore.
 The announcement confirms recent reports from the south to the effect that Canadian Pa cific Railway interests would take over the Stewart line as part of their scheme for de- veloping the local mines of the Consolidated company.
 In view of the close affiliat- of the c. P. R. and Consolidat- ed companies, the eventual absorbtion of the line by the former company as a new west ern outlet appears practically assured.

AIRPLANES WILL
 CALL AT RYDER

That the Washington-Alaska Airways will include Hyder in the list of southeastern Alaska towns at which it's airplanes will call when local traffic of- fers, was indicated by Anscel Eckmann, pilot of the seaplane Ketchikan, which arrived here Monday afternoon.
 It is understood that no reg ular service is contemplated, as there is not sufficient traf- fife to warrant the company making Hyder a regular call ing point at present. but planes will call here at intervals and local traffic demands will be cared for as far as possible under present conditions.
 The company is increasing the number of planes in it's fleet and will soon be in a po- sition to meet all air transpor- tation demands of the south eastern Alaska district. The Ketchikan is the latest addit- ion to the company's seaplane

A|RPLANE BRINGS PRIESTLY COMFORT
 ID STRICKEN MAN

The wide utility of the air plane in Alaska and the highly diversified benefits it brings to residents of remote places in the Northland was illustrated here in most effective manner Tuesday, when one of the fleet sky messengers brought spirit ual comfort and consolation from afar to the bedside of one who lay at deaths door.
 The plane in question was the new seaplane Ketchikan, of the Washington-Alaska Airways, which arrived from Ketchikan via Anyox late Monday af- ternoon, and the one to whom it's swift services brought prompt "benefit of clergy" was Angus Gillis, shattered victim of the tragic automobile acci- dent at Premier Monday after noon.
 Believing death near, the in- Jured man asked for a priest to administer the dissolution rites of the Catholic faith. Rev. Father Leray, being absent from the district, it was decid- ed to send the airplane to An yox for Fr. Champaign, resi- dent priest of that district, the costs being generously under taken by the Premier Gold Mining Company, by whom Gillis was employed.
 The plane, piloted by Anscel Eckmann, left here at II a. m. Tuesday morning, with Mrs. o. F. Hill and deputy United States Marshal Donald E. Mar tin as passengers. After pro- ceeding down Portland Canal for approximately 30 miles, the plane swung eastward over the mountain range which sep- arates PortlandCanal from Ob- servatory Inlet and arrived at Anyox at 11:35 a. m. Father Champaign was taken on board and the airplane hopped off on the return journey to Hyder at 12, noon. The back trip was negotiated in exactly 31 minutes, landing being made here at 12.31 p. m., one hour and thirty-one minutes after departing. Allowing for the 25 minute lay-over at An yox the actual flying time for the approximately 90 mile journey was one hour an six minutes.

NEW ORE FIND
 ON TEXAS CREEK
 IS PROMISING

A new ore discovery of unusual type and apparently of consid- erable promise was made last week in the upper Texas creek area on property owned by Frank Flasher, pioneer pros pector of that district.
 The ore is a crystalline white quartz heavily impregnated with chalcopyrite intermingled with zinc bands, sparse galena and small patches of an un- identified sulphide of dull, black hue. Along the fractures the ore is beautifully colored with irridescent patches hav- ing the appearance of peacock copper. Some of the specimens brought to town this week by MT. Blasher are fairly agleam with rainbow hues and present a decidedly attractive appear ance.
 The ore as a whole appears to be of a type not found here tofore in the Texas area, hav- ing little resemblance to the lead silver ores common to that region. No assays having been made up to this time, the value of the ore has not been determined.
 According to MT. Blasher, the vein has been traced for a distance of 700 or 800 feet, most of which is covered by heavy overburden. Wherever uncovered, the ore is said to show width of about four feet. MT. Blasher has been working on the property for Sc .eral years but was not aware of the presence of the vein, which in no way resem- bles the galena deposit on which he has been driving dur ing that period. Discovery ot the lead is attributed by him to Jack Davis, who is said to have located it by purely de- ductive processes, the first out crops being discovered under the overhanging roots of a big tree. The property on which the vein was located is situated on the north slope of Texas valley close to Emerald Lake and about 1 F miles above the government cabin.

INFESTED LAWS
 ID BE ENFORCED ON LOCAL ROADS

Several accidents resulting from careless driving on the local highways in recent days have drawn attention to the need for a closer observance of the Territorial speed laws. As a result, the Hyder Chamber 0 f Commerce has decided to issue a warning to car drivers to keep within legal speed linn it's under pain of prosecution if they fail to do so.
 It is said by officials of the Chamber that many local driv, CTS fail to observe the law in any degree. Some are said to drive at an exceedingly reck- less pace along the winding Salmon and Texas Creek high ways and even round the sharp turns at high speed without attempting to give warning of their approach by sounding their horns. This careless and highly dangerous practice is said to have result ed in a number of head-on col lissions of cars during the past two or three weeks, but for tunately without serious re- suits. It is pointed out that a continuance of such practices will eventually lead to serious if not fatal accidents and for this reason the local law off cers have been requested to see that the speed regulations are more closely observed in future.
 The Territorial traffic laws provide that no motor vehicle of any type may be lawfully driven at a greater speed than 25 miles per hour. Trucks of one ton or less may not ex- ceed 20 miles per hour, while those of more than one ton are limited to 15 miles per hour.
 The law also provides that any vehicle meeting C'nother vehicle going in another direct ion must slow down to speed of not more than 12 miles per hour, which is also the passing speed on all occasions. Ve- hicles approaching a curve are under the necessity of slowing down to not over 12 miles per hour and cars must give due warning of their ap- proach by sounding their horn before attempting to round a curve.
 The law also requires that brakes, lights and other saf- ety equipment shall be in good working order and within the customary legal standards for such equipment.

ANGUS G|LLIS IS SERIOUSLY HURT
 IN AUTO ACCIDENT

Angus Gillis, diamond drill employee of the Premier Gold Mining Company, became the unfortunate victim of a sad automobile accident Monday afternoon, when the Northern Light Mining Company truck, driven by Angus Mckenzie, overshot a sharp curve on the switch-backs below the Pre- mier mine and plunged over the brink of a rock-strewn embankment, breaking Gillis' back and inflicting other ser ious injuries which he is not expected to survive, although he is said to have still a bare chance for future existence.
 By some singular caprice of fate, Mckenzie escaped with no worse injuries than a few slight bruises.
 Details of the accident given by the two men disclose that they were coming down the hill from the upper Premier camp when Mckenzie, who is said to have had but little driv- ing experience, apparently lost control of the car on one of the sharp turns near the new Premier hospital, with the result that one of the front wheels ran over the the edge of the grade, permitting the truck to topple over the steep declivity extending some 40 or 50 feet below. Realizing the dangerous situation, Gillis managed to jump from the car before it went over the edge but unfortunately landed among the jagged rocks squarely in the path of the falling truck, which apparent ly struck him as it plunged down the embankment. After recovering consciousness in the hospital, Gillis said the last thing he could recall after jumping was of lying on his back on the rocks and seeing the truck fall on him, adding, however, that "it did not hurt. "
 After striking Gillis, the car, with Mckenzie still at the wheel, over is said to have turned over several times be- fore coming to rest a short dis tance below the point where Gillis lay. Mckenzie extricat- ed himself from the wreck without difficulty and assisted in the rescue of his less fortu- nate companion.
 Gillis was taken to the hospit- al, where it was found that his spinal column was fractured a short distance above the low est ribs and that the lobe of one lung had been punctured, apparently by broken ribs.
 Owing to the serious charac- ter of his injuries, the unfort- unate man was not expected to survive the day of the acci- dent but was still alive Friday evening, when this article was written. It was then believed that he had still bare chance to survive, provided he was able to pull through another day or two.
 Discussing his inability to stop the car in time to prevent the fatal plunge, MT. McKen- zie said it was due to the fail ure of the brakes to hold.

In the Stock Market
BY Thomson & McKinnon

NEW YORK, July 6.-Judging
from the willingness of the banks to
use the rediscounting privilege on
an elaborate scale, this apparently is
no longer the restraining influence at
work which prompted the federal
reserve authorities to exert pressure
against member banks in the matter
of their security loans This to me
is of far more Importance than the
further increase in brokers loans,
the size of which was just about as
anticipated in view Of the Stock Ex-
change report earlier in the week. 1t
is admitted, of course, that re-
financing of new issues again played
conspicuous part in the increase,
although it can not be disputed that
advancing stock prices were a con-
tributing factor. However, we be-
lieve the matter of loans and credits
can be put aside for the present IN
favor of the business situation which
appears to me to justify the in
creasing confidence on the part OF
investors. Allowing for the custo-
mary technical reactions from time
to time, we can see nothing immedi-
ately ahead to cause me to change
my ideas Of a further advance in
prices.

While Cops Fail to Dis
perSe Huge Crowd.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
NEW ORLEANS, La, July Ga
mob of 5000 striking car men SYM
pathizerS fired seven street cars in
the Canal barns today and then
repelled f1remen and police with
bricks and clubs, allowing the street
cars to be consumed.
While flremen and police we're at
tempting to approach the fire at the
canal barn, stick of dynamite was
hurled into the Poland car borns.
The dynamite blast did little dam
age, however.
Police attempted to disperse the
crowd with tear bombs, but we're
unsuccessful.
Burning of the cars followed a
night of rioting in which desperate
efforts were made to reach strike
breakers entrenched in the canal
barns.
Company Remains Firm
The Governor it was hinted in
official circles, would be asked to
declare martial law early today.
The Public Service Company
seemed determined not to give in to
the demands Of the strikers for more
pay and shorter working days. No
street cars or buses we're being
operated, an injunction having been
obtained to prevent the manning of
cars and busses with strike breakers.
The restraining order followed
clashes which resulted in the deaths
Of Joseph Molinario 68-year-old car
washer, and Silvain Thibodeaus.
Both the men we're strikers. Mo-
linario was shot through the throat
when he participated in mixed
battle with strike breakers, and
Thibodeaux was fatally wounded
during riot at the Canal street
barn early yesterday.
Patrolmen Quit Jobs
Three policemen have turned in
their badges, declaring they would
not use their guns against friends.
Hundreds of persons, many OF
them not in any way involved in the
dispute, have been injured by bricks,
clubs and revolvers useG in the not
ing.
Battered street cars, the debris of
cars destroyed by fire, and bricks,
timbers and stones littering the
vicinity of the car barns gave eYi-
dence of the prevalent mob spirit.
The strike started last Monday
when unicn motormen walked out
after a strike vote by acclamation.
The principal demands of the strik-
ers are for an eight-hour day in
stead of working nine hours; so
cents an hour instead Of AZ for the
first six months of service, proper
tionate increases for greater length
of service; promotion by ability and
seniority; elimination of the con-
tracts mo strike" clause, and non
interference with the affairs Of the
union association.
