Family Bubbling With Thrills.

Nevertheless, he braced himself for
the ordeal, cognizant that he had duty
to perform and determined to perform
it as has been his lifelong habit to the
best of his ability.
Mrs. Hoover and the other members
of the family circle found themselves
bubbling over with thrills, however. The
future First Lady ate breakfast with
her uncle, w. II. Henry Of Wahpeton,
NJ Oak, and Mr.. Hoover's sister, Mrs.
Mable Leavitt. The others, including
the two sons, Herbert, jr., and Allan;
Mrs. Herbert Hoover, jr., and the two
lusty grandchildren, Peggy Ann and
Herbert Hoover, Sd. drifted to the table
at their convenience.
Outside the house was gathered a

There was only one caller at the home

there for some time, in conference with
the President-elect.

HOOVER IS CALMEST
in S STREET HOME
Slips Into Study After Early
Rising-FamiIy Full of
Excitement.

The calmest member Of the Hoover
household today was Americas Presi-
dent-about-to-be.
While members of his devoted fam
lily rushed about in suppressed excite
ment in preparation for the Hoover
day of days." the master of the big
brick house on s street slipped into his
study and skinned over his morning
mail.
He had more time for relaxation than
the others, for he was the first out of
bed this morning-arising so early that
he had no companions at the breakfast
table.
Up a few minutes after z, he gave
an eve to the weather, dressed with
little fuss and sat down to a simple
breakfast at 8 o'clock.
The mail man delivered two large
bags of mail at an early hour, and the
President-elect manifested interest in
its sorting. There were messages of
congratulation in the pile Of letters
from all parts of the United States and
a number Of foreign countries.
Delays Cabinet Nominations Day.
President Hoover will not send the
nominations Of his cabinet to the Sen
ate until tomorrow.
In this respect he will deviate from
the custom of his immediate predeces-
sors. Eight years ago today President
Hardings first act after delivering his
inaugural address was to appear before
an executive session of the Senate and
present his nominations In person.
They were confirmed the same day.
Mr.. Hoover's decision made 1t pos
sible for the new Senate to recess until
tomorrow Immediately after the vice
presidential Inauguration.
Always shy of the acclaim which has
been his lot since graduating from an
engineer to a world-renowned human
itarian and statesman, he seemed almost
loath to face the plaudits Of the throngs
which poured into the parade ground
of the Nation and onto the broad plaza
on Capitol Hill, to witness his induction
into office.

MIKE KEMICK
 FOUND INSANE

Mike Kemick, laborer, aged 31, was adjudged insane and committed to Morningside San- atarium, following a hearing in the Commissioners court Tues day morning.
 Kemick, who is an American citizen, formerly resided in Wyoming, where he has a brother, and came to the Fly der district about two years ago. During the greater part of his residence here the un- fortunate man was employed by the Premier company and was known as a capable and conscientious worker. He was arrested at the Premier Nine Mile camp by Deputy Marshal Don. E. Martin following com plaints that he was acting strangely.
 Evidence given at the hearing disclosed that Kemick was tot ally unable to recall recent events even to the extent of failing to remember questions asked him only a few moments before, although fully cogniz- ant of happenings up to the time when he came down from Premier a few days prior to his arrest. He was represented at the hearing by Attorney Ernest Blue, who was appoint ed by the court for that pur- pose in conformity to the stat ltes. The jury was composed of E. M Reynolds, J. c. Ken nedy, Edgar Provinse, A. H. Benkendorf, O. F. Hill and s. 1 V. Warren.

WDODBINE COMPANY PLANS CONTINUANCE
 OF DEVELOPMENT

The Woodbine Gold Mining Co.,, Ltd., following an ad- journed meeting of the newly elected directorate on March 4, announced it's intention to proceed with development on the Woodbine property, ac- cording to wire advices from Vancouver.
 The reports further announce that the company has acquired title to the property as a re- suit of the payment of $3O,0O0 in cash to the owning interests, in addition to a large block of stock in the Woodbine com pany.
 The new and somewhat un- expected development is said to be due principally to the be- lief of many shareholders that the perplexing situation sur rounding the Woodbine prop erty could be worked out, de- spite the adverse Stewart and Batten report. This resulted in the election of new director ate at the annual meeting a few days ago, after the old board had recommended that the company conserve its cash resources for other invest ments. The new directors ap- parently saw the situation in an entirely different light, with the above stated result.

Sale of a controlling interest in the Mountain Boy group on American Creek in the upper Bear section is currently re- ported in Vancouver on appar- ently reliable authority. The sale is said to involve a 60 per cent interest in the Mining Boy Mining Company, formerly controlling the property, for which the purchasing interests, said to be group of New York people, have agreed to pay a total of $80O,OOO.
 The group comprises some of the oldest locations in the dis trict, having been located in 1900. w. H. Tolin and ossoci- ates took over the property in 1927.

Fine looking ore has been en- countered in the No. 1 tunnel on Marmot Gold slightly over 430 feet from the portal and at depth of 300 feet on the vein. The ore is a heavy min- eralized sulphide and is said to appear of excellent commer- cia grade.
 Twenty tons of supplies and oil are enroute to the proper ty and machine operations, discontinued some time ago owing to lack of gas, will be resumed in the No. 3 tunnel, which is expected to strike thel ore in another vein within a distance of 75 feet.

BARRY" BLUE
 IN LIMELIGHT

Asbury Blue, nineteen year old son of Ernest Blue, local at torney, recently attained front page prominence in the Seattle Times as a result of establish ing radio communication with the Byrd Antarctic expedition. In addition to an extensive write-up of his wireless ex- ploits, the Times also published a large picture of the young operator and his chum, Robt. Kaufman.
 Barry, as he is known locally, has marked penchant : for wireless and has had remark able success in reaching re- mote corners of the earth, dur ing the three years or so in which he has been a wireless "bug."
 Barry has been a licensed op- orator for more than a year and a half and operates as station 7AAV. His present wireless set is largely of his own devising and the result of much experimentation, but that it is able to get unusual results is proved by the fact that he has been successful in reaching stations in Australia, New Zealand, Arabia, Eng land, South America and many points in Canada and the Unit ed States. During his visit to Hyder last summer Barry es- tablished contact with a Brit ish army station located in Irak, Mesopotamia, more than half way around the world from Hyder.
 The message from the Byrd expedition came from the ex- petition supply ship Eleanor Boiling, while the vessel was located in the Antarctic seas about three hundred miles south of Dunedin and con. tained many interesting de. tails regarding the famous Antarctic expedition.

ALASKA LEGISLATURE
 IS NOW IN SESSION

The ninth session of the Alas ka legislature convened at Juneau Tuesday of this week, with eight territorial senators, two from each of the four di- wilson's, and sixteen represent atives, four from each division, comprising the legislative body. No news regarding the initial activities of either branch of the assembly has been received here up to the present time.
 Owing to probability that there will be approximately $1,500,000 in the Territorial treasury by the close of the fiscal year, March 31, the new legislature will have far more funds at it's command than any of it's predecessors. As a result of this situation there is con- siderable agitation going on looking to a reduction in Ter ritorial taxes and it is expected that the legislature will take some action in that direction.
 Following is the full list of legislative members:
 First Division, Senators: w. A. Steele, Juneau; Charles Ben- jamin, Wrangell.
 Representatives: Grover Vim, Allan Shattuck, Juneau; P. c. MacCormack, Wrangell, A. H. Zeigler, Ketchikan.
 Second Division:.. Senators: Richard Sunquist, Candle; J. H. Anderson, Nome.
 Representatives: c. J. Wool ter, Alfred Lomen and An- drew Bergh, Nome; Andrew Nylen, Shovel Creek.
 Third Division:.. Senators: Arthur Frame, Anchorage; A. J. Diamond, Valdez.
 Representatives: J. H. Murray, Frank H. Foster, Cordova; E. R. Tarwater, B. R. McCutch- con, Anchorage.
 Fourth Division: Senators: John w. Dunn, Ruby, Luther c. Hess, Fairbanks.
 Representatives: Joseph Mo- Donald, R c. Rothenburg, Walter Fisher, Fairbanks; Harry Donnelley, Flat.

HIGH GOLD VALUES LOCATED IN GEORGIA
 RIVER TUNNEL

Ore carrying gold values ranging from $51 to $94 per ton, according to assays, has been encountered in the main tunnel on the Georgia River Gold Mines, Ltd., according to announcements made in Van couver by directors of the com pany.
 Rumors of a rich strike on the property have been in circu- lation locally since early last month but were given consist ent denial by company offici- als in Vancouver, apparently with the view of avoiding pre- mature imitation of stock val ues, which have advanced con siderably in spite of the pre- caution.
 
 The later reports state the gold vein was encountered in a cross vein in the tunnel at a depth of 100 feet and gives promise of developing to great CT depth. The company is said to be planning to drift on the new vein to determine it's ex- tent and also contemplate the installation of 8 permanent power plant in place of the portable unit originally decid- ed upon.

VANCOUVER MINES PLANS TUNNEL
 EXTENSION

Further extension of the main tunnel as soon as the rehabili- tation of the railway line north from Stewart is assured is contemplated by Vancouver Mines, Ltd, according to an- nouncements following the re- cent annual stockholders meet ing in. Vancouver.
 Shipping grade ore has been encountered on one of the 13 crown granted claims owned by the company in the upper Bear River district and can be handled profitably by a short tram when the rail line pro- vides transportation to tide water.
 Mathew J. Phillips, of New Westminster, was elected pres ident of the company and Sam Deschamps, of Stewart, was chosen as secretary. Other directors named were Col. w. T. Perkins, of Seattle; E. D. Haddon, of Hyder, and D. H. Palmer, of Seattle.
 The company possesses a cap italization of 100000 shares of $1 par, of which 389,874 shares are in the treasury.

ERMINE COMBAT
 RAT PEST

Another war against pests will be made under govern ment direction on Atka Island, Southwestern Alaska, where rats have become so numerous as to overrun the island. It is planned to stock the island with ermine, which are said to be deadly foes of the rodents.
 The first of the rats landed on the island years ago from a wrecked ship and have be- come exceedingly numerous. It is also planned to use the ermine in further experiments to check the spread of pests in the Territory.

SILVER LAKE
 GROUP BONDED

The Silver Lake group, ad- joining the south easterly bor- der of the Big Missouri proper ty, has been bonded by the O. B. Bush interests, it was an- nounced this week by Dan WoOdmore, pioneer mining man and owner of the proper ty.
 The deal involves total pay ments of $20,OO0, of which a small part has been paid. The bond also provides for the sur veying and crown granting of the group.
 The Silver Lake includes five claims and was formerly known as the Double o group. In addition to touching upon the noted Big Missouri proper ty, the Silver Lake also lies along the northerly boundary of the huge holdings of the Bush Consolidated Gold Mines, Ltd., and it's acquisition by the latter company will have She effect of bringing the borders of Bush Consolidated up to the Big Missouri boundaries in that area.
 Although no great amount of development work has been done on Silver Lake, it is be- lieved to hold southerly ex- tensions of the Big Missouri ore zone in which the recent spectacular gold strike was made. This view is sustained in some degree by the fact that the heavily mineralized ore zone on the E. Furious Unum claim of the Big Missouri group strikes in the direction of the Silver Lake.
 Nothing is known at present regarding the contemplations of the bondholders respecting development on the property, which will probably become the scene of extensive oper- ations during the coming sum- mer.

MINING NOTES

Heavily mineralized ore has been encountered in the main tunnel on the Independence, according to late reports from that property. The strike was made in a crosscut extending from the tunnel and at a yer tical depth of $50 feet. The ore is said to be heavily min- eralized with iron sulphides, and is a part of the No. 2 vein on which the tunnel is being driven. It is planned to extend the crosscut to the hanging wall and drift on the vein to get under a spectacular silver showing found on the surface, which may persist to depth.

Almost one million dollars, or to be exact, $945,00O, is the es- innate of Lester D. Henderson, commissioner of education, of the cost of maintaining the present Alaska school system for the next biennium. This is $95,000 more than the amount expended for that purpose dur ing the two-year period that is just ending.
Hyder weekly herald., 1929-03-09

The recent unexpected drop in Premier from around $2.2O as low as $1.85 continues to puzzle mining circles. So far there has been no explanation of a situation which appears in no way justified by develop ments on any of the company properties. Judged from the standpoint of probable divi- dends, Premier appears to possess better possibilities than ever before.

BIG DEAL IN UPPER SALMON
 RIVER GROUPS

Entrance into the district of another important eastern min- ing group is indicated in the announcement this week by Marius Pederson, we'll known mining man, that the St. Eu- gene and Sunrise groups, To- cated on August Mountain in the upper Salmon district have been bonded by Montreal in- terests represented by Jerry Calvin, widely known Alaska mining man.
 The two properties comprise 2 total of sixteen claims, ten of which are included in the St. Eugene group, owned joint ly by MT, Pederson and his mining partner, Albert John son. The remaining six claims make up the Sunrise group, and are owned by Alex. N. Mcdonald and J. E. Munro, pioneers miners and prospect ors.
 The option extends over a period of two years and in wolves total payments of $780, 900; of which $5,000 has been paid to the several owners, ac- cording to MT. Pederson. The two groups are situated on the northeast slope of August Mt, about two miles north of the Outland Silver Bar property and a short distance to the westward of the we'll known Trey group.
 Both properties are said to display a number of important mineral showings, including three large silver-lead veins ranging around five feet in width on the surface, which yield assays ranging up to $125 per ton. These veins are said to run through a large part Of the two groups and the work done on them so far indi- cates that they will develop into big commercial ore bodies.
 Development activities are scheduled to start as soon as climatic conditions permit and Messrs. Pederson and Johnson have taken a contract to take in supplies as soon as travelling conditions warrant.
 Nothing could be learned re- ssarding the identity of the parties behind MT Calvin in the deal, although it isl ndicat- ed that the bonding group are identified with prominent east ern Canada mining interests.

Circle City has experienced an unusually warm winter. There has been so much over flow on the Yukon and it's sloughs and a heavy snowfall on that has made it impossible to tell whether one is travelling in water or solid surface.
