ALASKA GOLD OUTPUT
 IS PRESAGED

Alaska is apparently going to have the biggest gold and sil- yer output this year than it has turned out in single year for a decade. It should top last years production by at least $750,000, and may exceed that amount.
 This was revealed by the re- cent announcement of Collect or of Customs J. c. Mcbride that the shipments of these metals for the first nine months of 1929 aggregated $4,261,- : 862. This is $606,857 in excess of similar shipments for the same period last year. If the rate of increase to date contin- ues to the end of the year, the total production may reach as high as $8,00O,O0O and should not fall below $7,500,00O.
 It is ten years since the do- nestle gold and silver product ion of the territory reached the former figure. Since 1917 it has ranged from about five million to as high as $7, ,500, ,00O but not since 1922 has it at- tained the latter figures. The increases this year are mainly in the first and second divis- ions, the former division pro- ducing more than fifty per cent of the total. The product ion for the first nine months Of 1928 and 1929, according to the Customs House figures, were $3,651,O05 for 1928 and S4,261,862 for this year. Sept ember shipments were the largest so far this year, aggre- gating $801,741, as compared to $414,097 for 1928.

Seattle Radio Responds
 To Local Requests

That Hyder is now on the air map is indicated by the broad casting of several musical num- bers by Station KOMO, Seat tie, at the request of a local radio fan.
 Some days ago the big Seattle station broadcasted a suggest ion that requests for selections by Miss Betty Shelton, of the Fox Fifth Avenue Theatre, would be received. The invi- tation was responded to by D. J. Mulcare, local immigration inspector, who asked for three favorite selections. As a result the station announced Wednes- day evening: "We have a re- quest from David J. Mulcare, of Hyder, Alaska, to play My Wild Irish Rose" This was fol- lowed by the rendition of that charming song. Thursday even- ing the station broadcasted Indian Love Song," and Rose Marie," the additional num- bers requested by MT. Mulcare.

WORK PROGRESSING ON
 NEW LIGHT SYSTEM

Good progress is being made by the Canadian Power Cor poratiOn on the extension of its power system to include the big electric power plant of the Dunwell mill and a marked inn provement in the quality of the light service is expected as soon as this work is completed, acording to w.. D. Smith, local manager of the corporation.
 Installation of the poles be- tween Stewart and the Dun- we'll was completed a few days ago and the work of installing the power lines and overhaul ing the mill plant is expected to be completed very soon. Present indications are that the new system will be ready for operation in about 10 days, when the new power will be available.
 The Dunwell plant includes a 32O h. p. diesel engine and generating apparatus capable of developing about 250 kilo- watts, sufficient to provide am- pie current for light require ments. The new plant will be operated in conjunction with the hydro plant at the foot of Silverado Gulch. The recent deficiencies of the light system are said to be due to the wash in g out of the dam at Barney's Gulch during the recent high water period and the breaking down of the transmission lines between the Granite Or. pow CT plant and Hyder. As a re- suit, the Silverado Gulch plant is the only power source avail. able at present.

PROGRESS ON NEW
 TELEPHONE SYSTEM

The Portland Canal Telephone and Telegraph Go. is making steady progress in improving and extending it's telephone service in Hyder and Stewart.
 The installation of the new telephone cable between the two towns has been in prog ress for some days under the direction of manager Ernest Love, and is now practically completed. The cable carries 100 pairs of lines and will not only do away with many of the difficulties of maintaining the ordinary lines but will also greatly improve transmission.
 In addition to the Stewart Hyder cable, the company will also install 50-pair cables thru out Hyder to meet the require ments of local service. It is ex- pected that the system will be completed and ready for ser vice by next Wednesday.
 Besides providing a greatly. improved and extended ser vice, the company also plans to inaugurate another change of even greater moment to the public; namely a reduction in charges which will benefit not only the business houses but al- so enable the householder to enjoy the advantages of home telephone service at very nom- inal rates. Under the new schedule business houses will be charged $6.00 per month, while rates for residences will be reduced to $4.OO per month.
 The system will be operated from one central exchange in Stewart and service will be continuous to every part of the district. Private lines and a tel ephone booth will also be in- stalled in the office for hand
 Ing telegraphic business be- tween Stewart and the comp any radio station in Hyder.
 With the new system in full operation the district will poss- ess a telephone service fully equal to any this far north and one of which our residents may feel justly proud.
 Company officials expect that the lower rates and improved service will result in a wide in- crease in the number of phone users. The system represents a considerable expenditure and is entitled to the fullest support and cooperation. In fact such cooperation is essential if the enterprise is to be a success and
