.BUDD|NGTON REPORT
 ON HYDER DISTRICT
 IS NOT YET READY

The latest Geological Survey bulletin on the Alaska mineral industry discloses that the re- port of Prof. A. F. Buddington on the geology of the Hyder district and embodying the re- suits of his last visit to this section in 1925, has not been published and is still in course of preparation, despite the con- siderable time elapsing since Prof. Buddington's investigat- ion was completed.
 The announcement is con- tained in the U. s. Geological Survey Bulletin 81O-A, titled Mineral Industry of Alaska in 1927" and issued during the present year. According to this bulletin Prof. Buddington's forthcoming report will be titled Geology of Hyder and Vicinity" and will also con- tain the results of the Geologi- cal Survey reconnaissance of Chickamin River district. The latter appendage will prob ably contain the results of the investigations made along the Chickamin by Mir. W. B. Jew ell, who assisted Prof. Bud- dington in his local work. The bulletin will be Number 807 in the Geological Survey series on Alaska.
 The Buddington report is looked forward to with keen interest by many local miners and prospectors, most of whom have been greatly puzzled by it's failure to appear. Prof. Buddington stated in a com munication to the Herald in 1927 that he had fully com- pleted his work on the report, but added that the bulletin might not appear for some time, as the map making de- partment of the Survey bureau was then considerably behind in it's work.

 OVERSIZE EGG

An egg weighing four ounces even and measuring 618 inches in circumference around it's narrowest width was produced in Hyder a day or two ago by a hen of the Rock Island Red variety belonging Attor- ney Ernest Blue. In addition to it's unusually wide diameter, the egg also possessed a linear circumference of 7A inches and resembled a large duck egg rather than a product of the chicken tribe.
 MT. Blue, who is something of a poultry fancier and has de- veloped a number of unusually large and fine birds by select i've breeding methods, states that the egg was the first to be laid by the hen, which is it. self of unusually large size.

 Despite some opposition to the bill by parliamentary mem bers representing opposing railroad interests, the outlook for ultimate passage is looked upon as very favorable.

w. D.

This will be accomplished as speed ily as conditions will permit and an increasingly improved service is promised for the future.
 The company is also contem- plating construction of a large plant of approximately 4000 horsepower on American Ck., although the project is not as- sured at this time.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
 GIVES PROMINENCE
 ID HYDER DISTRICT

The Hyder mining district and it's mineral development possibilities is given a promi- nent place in last U. s. Geo. logical Survey bulletin No. 810-A, covering the annual re- port of the Survey on the min eral industry of Alaska in 1927.
 The bulletin, published dur ing the present year, refers to the district in one instance as ''The principal region that is now producing ore valuable largely for it's silver" in ad- dition to giving it prominent mention for gold, lead and copper production. Included among the several references to the district are the follow-l ing:
 Shipments of several hun dred tons of concentrates have been made to. the Selby smelt- CT in San Francisco and gold is also recovered in the com -pany's mill near the mine." The mine referred to is the Riverside, which was operating during the period covered by the bulletin.
 Many smaller companies and prospectors were active in scouting and development work in the district" the bulle-. tin continues, land several small test shipments of ore from the district have been sent to smelters in the States. Many of these have shown encouraging results, and there is every reason to believe that this district will continue to show an increasing production of minerals"
 At another point the bulletin states:
 "In many of the veins in the Hyder district silver minerals are found, and in some of the smaller veins in adjacent parts of British Columbia these min erals form important constitu- ents of the ore. No startling new developments in this reg ion have been reported during the year, but the general im- pression gained is that prog ress is being made in it's de- velopment and that sincere and earnest efforts are being made to prospect it adequate ly. This must necessarily take time, much effort, and consid- erable capital, but the geologic conditions are favorable, and the proved occurrences of ore on both sides of the internat- inal boundary support the be- lief that other profitable ore bodies exist in the region"

MARKED GAIN IN
 ALASKA COMMERCE
 DURING PAST YEAR

The records of the commerce of Alaska for 1928 show a marked improvement in most of the commodities produced and shipped from the district over like shipments in 1927, ac- cording to the annual com merce statement of Collector of Customs J. c. Mcbride.
 The total value of Alaskan exports for the year was $74,- 849,918, and represents an in- crease of $17.288,271 over 1927. Shipments to Alaska last year amounted to $32, 2,636,- 833. This represents a decrease of $3,739,537 from shipments made in 1927. The balance of trade remained in favor of the Territory and aggregated $24,- 213,O85.
 Following is the list of export ed commodities and their val ues: -

Development activities on the Porter-Idaho property were suspended last week by the Premier Gold Mining Co.,, the bulk of the crew coming down Saturday evening. Work is continuing on the adjoining Prosperity group, where it is said enough ore has been de- veloped to more than offset the cost of the big tram sys- tenn and considerable high grade has been sacked in readiness for shipment as soon as the tram is completed.
 Although various rumors are being circulated regarding the cause of the shutdown on Porter-Idaho, the company has not issued any statement throwing light on the situation. Members of the crew say the long tunnel was in around 1400 feet when work was stopped but had encountered no con- mercial ore as far as known.

A breakdown of the Ana cortes and other difficulties de- layed the arrival of the Ketch- ikan mail boat until early this morning.
Hyder weekly herald., 1929-03-16

Work on properties of the Premier Border Gold Mining Company were closed down Tuesday on telegraphic orders from Ernest s. Parker, presi- dent of the company. The message gave no hint of the reason of the suspension, al- though intimating possibility of operations being renewed in the statement that work was to be discontinued until further orders.,,
 In view of recent announce ments by company representa- ,tives that commercial ore had been located on the property by diamond drilling and the later resumption of under ground activities, the shutdown appears due to some unexpect- ed development in very recent days.
