Introduction

The drainage basin of Salmon River lies in part within south eastern Alaska in the Hyder mining district and in part within British Columbia. It has been known for 25 years that mineral deposits occur within the Alaskan part, but until the development of the Premier mine in adjoining British Col umbia the country, which was relatively inaccessible, attract ed but little capital for pros pecting. Within the last few years, however, the outstand- ing success of the Premier mine and the active prospecting and development work being pros ecuted in the Canadian part of the Salmon river and adjoining Bear River drainage basins have stimulated interest in prospecting and in the devel- opment of prospects within the American part of the Salmon River Basin. A number of new mineral deposits that warrant the expenditure of capital in prospecting have been discov- cred, several properties have undergone active development, and the Riverside mine has been brought to a stage of pro- duction within this period.
 In 1925 geological mapping of the Hyder district was un- dertaken by the writer to ob- tain a more complete picture of the geological setting and mode of occurrence of the min eral deposits as an aid to intell- igent prospecting of the area and development of the discov- cred deposits and to present for public information a sys-

Southeastern Alaska lies at the head of Portland Canal, a steep walled ford which cuts ob- liquely across the Coast Range for some 90 miles from Dixon Entrance, at the southern bor- der of Alaska. Its limits are defined on the east and north by the international boundary, and on the west by the drain age divide between the head Weters of the streams tributary to Salmon River and those trib- utary to Chickamin River. Ire area lies in the northeastern part of the Hyder mining dist rict, and the mine recording of- flee is at Hyder.
 The town of Hyder is situat- ed at the head of Portland Can al, at the mouth of Salmon Riv- CT and on the international boundary, at approximately latitude 55o, 55' longitude 13Oo T.. A spur of the Reverdy Mountains extends south to the coast, where the delta and tid- al flats built out into the canal by Salmon River extend around | the base of the steep mountain slope. It may be reached by means of the regu- lar steamship service to Stew art from Vancouver and Prince Rupert, B. C., by regular week. ly mail boats from Ketchikan, (155 miles), and by occasional steamships direct from Seattle. The town of Stewart lies about 2 miles to the northeast, on the British Columbia side of the boundary, and although older than Hyder it is about the same size. It is connected with Hy- der by a road suitable for auto mobiles.
 The district has been opened up by a road suitable for auto- mobiles from Hyder to the Pre- mier mine, on the Canadian side. This road runs along the east side of Salmon River most of the way, and about II miles of it's course is in American ter ritory. It affords the only prac-

tical mode of access to the min- eral deposits in the upper part of the drainage basin of Sal- mon River, a factor that has contributed to the growth of Hyder.
 A pack trail has been built by the United States Forest ser vice up the West Fork of Tex as Creek, one of the major trib- utaries of Salmon River, from the bridge across Salmon River above Nine-mile, at an altitude of 335 feet, to Chickamin Glac- fer, at the head of the West Fork Valley, at an altitude of 2,350 feet, a distance of about II miles. (This trail is now (1929) being converted into a highway suitable for automo- piles and will be completed in 1881. Editor) A branch trail goes over the low saddle, at an altitude of 870 feet, to the foot of Salmon Glacier, at an alti- tude of of 535 feet. Another pack trail has been built by the Forest Service up Fish Creek from the Salmon River road and a branch from it to the Tit an property.
 Climate
 The Salmon River district lies within the Pacific Coast climat- ic province, where there is abundant rainfall and relative ly moderate temperature. From November to March the precip- itation is chiefly in the form of snow. The rainfall is least in late spring and early summer. GA summary of meteorological observations at Stewart shown in the report and covering the years from 1911 to 1921, inclu- sive, places the average annu- al temperature at 400, the av- craze annual rainfall at 73.73 inches and the average snow fall during that period at 219.- 56 inches, with an average of 149 days of precipitation.)
 The snowfall is much heavier at most places inland than at Stewart, the report continues. At the Premier mine it is re- ported to have amounted to 40 feet in 1928 and 60 feet in 19- 24. On the other hand, it is much less at the foot of Chick amin Glacier, where it is re- ported to have been only 6 feet in 1923.

LONDON, Oct. 21.-Britain was eager to see Hell and Maria Dawes when he came here as Am bassador.
 And t-ien, waen he had hardly arrived, Britain found she had a "Hell-and- Maria" of her own Philip Snowden.
 Even on the day he told the United States Senate what he thought of it's rules, Charles C. Dawes did not startle the people of his country to the extent that Philip Snowden, Chancellor of the Exchequer, electrified all Britain with his blunt and bitter language at The Hague.
 When Dawes came to London as Ambassador there were Americans here who said:
 Hell have to tone down. The British are too conservative and quiet to put up with any of this Mell-and Maria business.
 No sooner had they said it when what should conservative and quiet Britain do but cheer with great unanimous shout of approval a British statesman who broke all British diplomatic precedent by speaking out his mind among di-

 Pantages is expected to be the last witness for the defense after which the State will bring on the stand a number of rebuttal wit nesses.
 It is expected that the case will reach the jury Thursday night or Friday
 Testimony of Pantages is said by his attorneys to be a most vital link in their claim of evidence in combating the attack story of Eunice Pringle.
 Pantages is expected to contra dict her testimony in every detail and build up defense in connec- ton with a "frame-up" conspiracy.

FOUND DEAD; RESULT
 OF ACCIDENT
Pan of Water Boils Over, distinguishes Gas Jet,
 But Gas Flows on

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-A pan of water which boiled over and ex- tinguished gas jet on kitchen stove, caused the deaths of father and six children, three daughters and three sons, as they slept in an apartment.
 Walter Cavanaugh, aged 42 years, private chauffeur, failed to report for work at a garage where his em- ployer's car was kept. The en- ployer called at the apartment house to see if Cavanaugh over slept. Neighbors investigated and found Cavanaugh and the children, the oldest aged IT years, all dead in the gas-filled apartment. The mother died seven years ago. The only surviving member of the fam fly is daughter named Mary, aged 20, who lived away from home.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 21.-The con- pletion of an inland waterway sys- tenn, a development to which he is heartily committed, calls President Hoover to his first journey beyond the Atlantic seaboard since his in- auguration
 Here, October 22, he will dedi- cate a marble shaft commemorate ing the completion of the Ohio river equalization The canal system, nearly 1000 miles long, extends from Pittsburgh to Cairo. III.
 It cost $115,OOO,OOO, and is in- tended to restore the river to it's pioneer importance in transporta- ton. The United States army en- gineering corps built 49 locks and dams in the river.
 The President will speak here from hallowed ground, tortured by the conquering feet of three na- tions. None but the Indians knew it before Sieur de La Sale discov- cred the Ohio in 1870 and claimed the territory for Louis XIV of France.
 Great Britain seized the territory during the French and Indian wars of 1755 to 1762. American colo nists pushing westward challenged the British, and the treaty of Paris after the revolution gave the land to the United States.
 MT. Hoover might recall that the first president, George Washington descended the Ohio in ITO; that in the fruitful days before the Civil War the old river teemed with commerce; that the bugles of war in '61 marked it as the line be- tween north and south.

 "In some of these cases, such as applications for loans on farm land, we have advised the applicants that we did not feel they were within the scope of our activities and have referred them to the federal farm loan board.
 Tn many cases the discussions developed the fact that the cooper ative had not had an audit of it's business for considerable period of time, or in the case of plant fa- cilities, that they had not been ap- praised in recent years"

 He is understood to have aban- doned the game after his brothers, who were millionaires, were killed.
 The Police are working on the theory that death is in reprisal for the staying of Tom Todaro, rival bootleg czar, who is credited with having plotted the death of the Lonardo brothers.

 It would be difficult to exagger- ate the popularity of Snowden's stand here in England. Leaders of all political parties unequivocally praised him; newspapers of all shades of political opinion backed him, and for days the popular topic of conversation on trans and buses and trains, in cafes and public houses on the street, was.
 Good boy, Snowden. He told em."
 Meanwhile the most intriguing feature of the whole situation, to Americans who thought the Charles G. Dawes way of speaking would not "get by among Englishmen. is the fact that while Snowden has been out-Dawesing Dawes, Dawes himself has become less and less given to utterance.
