ABANDONMENT 0F WOODBINE SAID ID
 BE IMPENDING

The Woodbine property, cent. CT of what is generally regard ed as the outstanding mining fiasco in the history of the dis trict, will probably be aband- oned by the present manage ment of the Woodbine Gold Mining Company, according to reports from Vancouver.
 Discussing the Woodbine sit uation, a prominent Vancouver mining publication says that while the directors have not definitely announced the a. bandonment of the property, the recent diamond drilling activities failed to locate com mercial ore in a single instance, according to the engineering reports, and in view of the fact that another payment is due this month it is deemed inad- visable to go ahead further. Crosscutting started after the suspension of the diamond drill york was not considered by
 he engineer as likel y to yield favorable results, according to
 he same authority.
 The company is understood to have ample funds in it's treas Try to meet the February pay ment but, owing to the unfav- orable outlook, will probably 'elinquish the property and devote its energies elsewhere. Whether such action will con- stitute the final chapter in the history of the Woodbine re- mains to be seen, as many we'll informed mining men profess confidence that the property will yet become productive.

BIG GAME HUNTERS
 BENEFIT TO ALASKA

That big game hunters are a mighty asset to Alaska was the substance of a statement made recently by H. w. Ter hume, head of the Biological Survey in Alaska.
 MT. Terhune said that records of his office show that 119 nonresident hunters of big game visited Alaska in 1928 and that they spent an average of from 1000 to $1,5OO each in the Territory for license, guides, outfits and miscellan- eous supplies, a total of some thing like $15O,0OO which is over $500 for every head talk en He stated that in some To- calities and with some people big game hunters are unpopu- lar, the argument frequently being heard that the game of the Territory should be con- served for the residents, but he asserted that the supply of game can be kept up to its present standard by proper policing and care after a DOT tion of it has gone to the share of the nonresident hunters, the majority of whom are as anxious to conserve the game as are the residents and who seldom kill for the mere love of killing.

COMMISSIONER MULCTS
 PRO. LAW VIIOLATORs

Fines for liquor law violations totaling more than $500 were collected by Judge w. c. Arn- old in the U. s. Commissioners court Monday.
 Felix Seppi, we'll known trans fer man, enriched Uncle Sam's treasury to the extent of $500 while Nels Fogerly, miner, contributed $10 and the costs of prosecution, amounting to an almost equal sum. In ad- dition to paying substantially in cash for his infringement of the law, Seppi will also be compelled to spend 4 months in the federal bastile in expiat- ion.
 Fogerly was picked up by Marshal Don E. Martin while packing a skin-full of red-eye and charged with being drunk and disorderly. Seppi was ar rested in connection with an alleged attempt to ship out on the Norco a large packing case marked "household goods, " but which is said by the offici- als to have contained a large assortment of choice brands of Scotch and other varieties of wet goods. The arrest is said to have been made as Seppi was preparing to sail for the south on the same vessel. He was charged with possession of intoxicants, and entered a plea of guilty on arraignment.
 Fogerly was released after paying the fine, while Seppi was taken to Ketchikan by Marshal Martin Wednesday.

The past year witnessed more marriages than occurred in any previous year in the camps history, a total of IA couples being united in the matrimoni- al bond during that period, ac- cording to the vital statistics records in the Commissioners office.
 As is usually the case here, a majority of the nuptial knots were tied by U s. Commission CT w. c. Arnold, while most of the contracting parties were residents of Stewart, who de- sired to escape the formalities attending weddings on the Canadian side of the boundary line.
 The records also disclose that 4 births and one death oc- cured in the camp during the same period.

BORDER
 RESUMES UNDER
 GROUND ACTIVITIES

Underground development work has been resumed on the Premier Border company hold ings at 13-Mile, according to late reports from the property.
 With the location and trend of the ore bodies on the Vir- ginia group definitely fixed, as a result of the recent dia- mond drilling activities, it is understood that the company plans to rush development to the utmost to fully deter. mine the extent and probable commercial value of the ore deposits. Word came from the south Thursday that a com plete new power plant has been ordered to replace the engine and compressor outfit destroyed by fire last week.
 Work is now proceeding in both the upper and lower tun- nels, with two shifts driving on the latter level. One shift is employed in the upper tun, nel.
 Activities are under the di rection of F. J. Crossland, com. pany engineer, with Alberi Johnson, we'll known miner, ir charge of the work in the ab. sence of mine superintendent Wm. Bunting.

A medicine or magic lamp, a relic of an early-day Indian custom, has been acquired by Lynn Smith, United States Marshal for the Fourth Divis- ion. The lamp, which probably was used by some medicine man in his weird ceremonies is carved from solid stone. It measures 1012 by 912 inches. The lamp was found in the Shugluk Slough district, by a squaw in 1920. The native woman, said to have been perturbed at finding it, and fearful of some dire result if it remained in her possession. disposed of it to a trader. One of the remarkable features of the. relic is the smooth uniform carving of it's surface. The bowl is beautifully concaved, with a wick post projecting from a point near its center. Wick grooves radiate out from the post and are cut in a slight re

MANY NEW FACES IN
 1929 LEGISLATURE

The 1929 legislature, which will convene at Juneau next month, will bring a number of new faces to the capital. Only seven of those who served dur ing the last session will return this year., including the three hold-over senators from the First, Third and Fourth Divis- ions, and of the remainder not many have had previous legis- lative experience, says the Anchorage Times.
 Charles Benjamin of Wrang- ell, who represented the First Division in the 1927 legislat- ure, will return to Juneau this year as senator, serving with Will A. Steel, hold-over sena- tor. The house delegation will be made up of Grover c. Vim of Juneau, A. H. Zeigler of Ketchikan, Allen Shattuck of Juneau and P. c. Mccormack of Wrangell.
 Two new senators will go to Juneau from the Second Divis- ion, Richard N. Sundquist of. Candle, having been elected for the long term and J. H. Anderson for the short term. Sundquist served as a member of the house two years ago. The following will compose the 1929 house delegation: Alfred J. Lomen, Andy Ny land, Clarence J. Woofter and Henry H. Burgh. All except Sundquist are residents of Nome. .4
 Arthur Frame, who defeated
 A. J. Dimond for the senate two years ago, will return to the 1929 session accompanied by E. R. Tarwater, Anchorage banker; Frank Foster, Cordova attorney; H.H. McCutcheon of Anchorage member of the Alaska Railroad maintenance force.
 Harry E. Pratt, Fairbanks at- torney, is the hold-over sena- tor of the Fourth Division, and his colleague will be Luther c. Hess, prominent mining man. The representatives will be: Walter Fisher, miner, who served in the 1927 legislature Joe Mcdonald, merchant and mine owner; Harry Donnelley, banker and mining operator of Flat; Richard c. Rotherburg, miner of Fairbanks.

LOCAL SYND|CATES
 NOW INCORPORATED

Units of the Marmot Engineer
 Mine Syndicate are now being exchanged for shares in the Marmot Engineer Mine, Ltd, a limited liability incorporation in which the original unit syn- dicate has been merged.
 The new organization has a share capitalization of $1,5OO,- 900; divided into 3 million shares with par value of 50 cents per share.
 The units are exchanged on the basis of 200 shares for each unit. The management of the company is identical with that of the syndicate, George Bunn, original locator of the Engineer, being president and managing director of the com pany. R. L. Stewart, secretary of the syndicate, is also secre- tary of the company. .
 Late reports from the com pany property on Marmot Riv- CT indicate that good progress. IS being made on the main tun- nel, although the loose char acter of the ground has neces- sitated considerable timbering. Supplies sufficient to last un- til spring were freighted to the Engineer during recent days and the property is other- wise splendidly equipped for operation.
 The present objective of the tunnel is a strong vein of chal- copyrite which prospecting has shown to contain foot or so of shipping grade ore, in ad- dition to eight to ten feet of ore said to be of good milling grade.
 The Melvin Syndicate will be converted into an incorporated company of limited liability with capitalization of $5OO,- 900 and shares of $1 par value, as a result of a decision made by the shareholders at meet ing held January 18th.
 The $5 units of the syndicate will be exchanged for shares in the new company on the basis of 20 shares per unit. The company management will re- main the same as under the syndicate and development on the Melvin property will be continued by Marmot Metals, which holds an option cover- ing a large portion of the synd- icate units.

RYDER DISTRICT STILL FINE FIELD
 FOR PROSPECTOR

New mineral land locations embracing POS claims were made in the Hyder section of the Portland Canal mining dis trict during 1928, according to the records of the United States Commissioners office. This number exceeds by 84 the new claim record of 1927, when a total of 119 new claims were ,staked and recorded.
 In addition to the strictly new locations recorded, a total of 17 amended locations of exist ing claims were also filed for record last year, bringing the grand total of all claim locat- ions to 22O, as against total of 172 new and amended To- cations in 1927.
 Assessment work returns cov- ering a total of 4O8 claims were also filed during the year. As the annual labor law re- quires the performance of not less than one hundred dollars worth of labor and improve ments on mining claims annu- ally before patent, the 4O8 proofs of labor filed represent expenditures of money and labor totaling $4O,8OO in value.
 The 1928 locations cover practically every section of the Hyder district, although a ma jority were made in the rich ly mineralized Texas Creek district, where the projected government wagon road, now paftlally constructed, promises vastly increased opportunities for mining and prospecting.
 The location of such a large number of claims discloses clearly that opportunities for acquiring valuable mineral lands by location are by no means exhausted, despite the fact that the Hyder district has been the scene of extensive prospecting and mining devel- opment for nearly a decade. It is also we'll known that most of the claim locations so far made are situated in the sect tions most easy of access. As a result there are still large areas of territory in the dis trict which are practically un- explored and offer a most in- viting field for the prospector.

Carrier pigeons, for carrying messages of distress in case of accident, have been trained to operate this winter in Alaska, with airplanes for their bases. All planes doing winter flying are now equipped with com partments in which the little messengers live while touring the North by air. The intro- duction of carrier pigeons was she result of several near-trag- edies when aviators were forced down in remote places.
