Second Installment Vegetation

All the valley bottoms, except those occupied by glaciers or the immediate flood plains of the rivers, are well wooded. In general, the slopes, up to an all titude of 5000. feet and in favorable places $500 feet, are clothed with a dense growth of forest, except where it has been swept away by snowslides. Above the timber line to height of about 4,000 or 4,500 feet there is belt which is covered by heather, with here and there struggling patches of stunted and scraw- ny trees. Above the heather is a zone of alternating bare rock, rock flakes, and angular glacial debris, with patches of snow, which extends to to the lower limit of the glaciers and the snow or ice caps. On comb ridges too narrow to support a snow field this zone may ex- tend as high as 6,400 feet.
 The forests consist chiefly of hemlock and spruce, common ly with hemlock predominant ing. Yellow cedar is found b. cally. There is sufficient tim Der along Salmon river, Texas creek, West Fork, and at the mouth of Thumb creek to sup ply all mining needs.
 The slopes at the ends of the ridges between Through and Greenpoint Glaciers, between Greenpoint and Ferguson glac- iers, and between Texas and Chickamin glaciers are covered with timber as high as 5000 to $500 feet; but near the head
Hyder weekly herald., 1929-06-29

of Skookum creek, east of Sal mon river, the forest extends only to a height of 2,800 feet.
 Water Fewer
 There are water-poWer sites on Thumb creek, the West Fork of Texas creek, Salmon river, and many of the smaller mountain streams. Develop ment of water power oil the three major streams, however, would necessitate consider ation of the fact that in the spring and sunmer.they carry considerable glacial flour, which would tend to sit up the reservoirs. Adequate power for prospecting can usually be de- veloped from the mountain streams on most of the proper ties.
 Topography
 General Features of the Relief.
 The Salmon river district lies within the eastern part of the Coast Range. The topography of the district is one of great relief, with the highest peaks 1000 to 5000 feet above the valley bottoms.
 The scenery is bold and strik- ing and is particularly grand in the vicinity of the internation- al boundary just west of Mount Bayard, where the highest disappointed peaks reach al- titudes of over 1000 feet above sea level, and though they rise above great uniform fields of snow and ice that cover many of the lower mountain tops and partly fill all the valleys, yet they themselves bear, carved in their sides, large ampithe- aters occupied by glaciers.
Hyder weekly herald., 1929-06-29

The mountains in general
 have been glacially rounded to a height of about 5000 feet or more, and sharp-pointed, ser rate peaks are found only above this altitude. Snow or ice caps cover all large areas above 5000 feet that are not too steep, and on protected di- vldes they occur locally as low as 4,600 feet. Glaciers are found in protected basins at still lower levels. The valley walls have been glaciated and usually have very steep slopes CT, i'll some parts of the region, sheer cliffs. Except where broken by these cliffs or by the narrow gorges and gulches cut in postglacial time, the slopes, though steep, are generally smooth. At the base of the sleeper slopes in the valleys that are now free from glaciers there are large accumulations of talus which, with the alluv- ial fans built up at the mouths of gulches, have flattened the lower slopes and have tended to give a V-shape to what were previously glaciated U-shaped valleys.
 The major tributaries of Sal mon river are Cascade Creek, Texas Creek, Thumb Creek, Fish Creek, and the creek that enters from the southwest on the west side of the river about 3 F miles northwest of Hyder. The divide between the drain age basins of Chickamin River and Salmon River trends, in general, almost true south par al!el to Salmon River and Sal mon Glacier. The West Fork of Texas Creek has, however, pushed it's headwaters far back into this divide and has pro- duced in it a big bend to the west. Indeed, the West Fork would not have to cut it's bed much lower and advance head ward much farther to capture the drainage of the upper part
Hyder weekly herald., 1929-06-29

of Chickamin valley, now occu-
 pied by Chickamin Glacier.
 The dominant elements of the relief are the Bear River Ridge between Salmon and Bear Riv- CTS, the unexplored group of mountains south of Thumb creek, the ridge between Thumb Creek and the West Fork of Texas Creek, the ridge between the West Fork of Tex as Creek and Texas Glacier, and the ridge between Texas Glacier and Boundary Glac- fer. The Bear River Ridge trends north, the other ridges trend west.
 The part of the Bear River Ridge that is within the district is rounded and flat-topped. It has a general altitude of about 5000 feet and eliminates on the south in the snow-capped peak of Mount Dolly, at an al- titude of 5,475 feet. This ridge rises with steep slopes from the  valley floor of Salmon River. The divide between the drain age to Thumb Creek and Green point Glacier and the drainage to the West Fork is 11a times as far from the West Fork as as from Thumb Creek. It has a length of about 5 miles, and for third Of this distance it is 5000 feet or more in altitude. The lowest pass across it is Ferguson Glacier, at an alti- tude of about 4,6O0 feet. Sever al peaks rise to heights of G. 300 feet. Snow fields and ice- caps cover most of the divide, and from it flow five major glaciers-Hidden, Casey, and Ferguson to the West Fork, and Grayan Thumb to Thumb Creek. The divide between the West Fork and Texas Glacier is three times as far from the West Fork as from Texas Glac- fer. It is about 41a miles long, and nearly half of it is above 5000 feet in altitude. There are two ice caps with their crests at about $500 feet, sep- arated by a pass at the head of Ibex Gulch at an altitude of about 4,800 feet. The ridge be- tween Texas and Boundary Glaciers in general slopes from a maximum of 6,1OO feet at the head of Boundary Glacier to 4,700 feet just west of the in- ternational boundary. Prac- tically the whole ridge is capped with snow throughout the year.
