CANADIAN POWER {. CORPORATION WILL BUILD BIG PLANT

The Northern B. c. Power I Corporation, subsidiary of the Power Corporation of Canada has accepted the reports of its engineers respecting the feas- ibility of the American Creek power project and will inaug- urate construction work on a big hydro-electric power plant at that point in the very near future, according to announce ments by J. J. Little, of Prince Rupert, district manager of the big power corporation, who spent several days in the dist rict this week.
 Aside from the statement that the corporation is preparing to build a plant capable of devel- oping around 4,000 horse pow
  of electrical energy, no details of the company's contemplat- ions were made public.
 The construction of the new power plant, which is expect ed to meet all local power de- mands, mining, business and domestic, for a considerable time to come, will be under the direction of J. H. Kohl, locat- ion engineer for the big corpor- ation, who is in charge of all it's construction activities in the B. c. district. MT. Kohl arrived from Prince Rupert Wednesday, accompanied by J. I. Boullien, who holds the position of superintendent of construction and will be in di- rect charge of construction ac- tivities. Messrs Kohl and Boull- fen left for American Creek shortly after arrival to inspect the site of the projected plant. It is understood that active preparations for construction will be launched shortly after their inspection is concluded and that the work will con- tinue during the winter season, according to present contem- plations.

NEWSY JOTT|NGS BEARING ON LOCAL
 MINING ACTIVITIES

The new crosscut tunnel on the Fish Creek properties of the Adanac Mines Company of Alaska is now in 200 feet and in a well mineralized area. ac- cording to Thomas Robertson mine superintendent of the company.
 The tunnel is being driven to explore at greater depth the high grade vein encountered in a winze sunk from the upper tunnel in the fall of 1927 and from which a small shipment yielded excellent smelter re- turns.
 MT. Robertson informed the Herald that there is five feet ot vein matter now exposed in the tunnel and carries a num- Der of stringers of well miner alized galena ore ranging up to a foot or so in width. There has also been a steady increase in the volume of mineralizat- ion since work was resumed this spring and is looked upon by MT. Robertson as indicating a prospect for the develop ment of substantial ore body as greater depth is gained.

The beneficial effects of the recent merger of the Northern Light company with the Pre- mier Border Gold Mining Go. are clearly reflected in a marked speeding up of devel- opment activities on the North ern Light group, according to recent visitors to that property.
 Preparations for the resump- tion of underground work are now practically concluded. The camp and mine equipment are now as complete as any in the district, with a splendid power plant consisting of a 60 horsepower diesel engine and 320 cubic foot compressor sup plying air and power. Present development plans include the extension of the present 320 foot tunnel in the direction of the Premier and Sebakwe properties, with a view to in- tercepting possible northerly extensions of the Premier ore zone. This will necessitate extending the tunnel about 1900 feet. A crew of IA or Is men is employed under the di- rection of Angus Mckenzie, mine superintendent.
 In addition to having the property and equipment fully paid for, the company is said to have enough cash in the treasury to carry on work for two years.

NEW STRIKES ON PREM|ER-B.C. SILVER
 VERY IMPORTANT

UnOfflclaI but reliable reports of important ore discoveries on both the Premier anr B. c. Sill yer properties have resulted in a general divergence of attent- ion to those properties during the past week. Although no official announcements have been forthcoming there is no reason to doubt that strikes of considerable magnitude and importance have been made on the two noted properties.
 From the information so far obtainable it appears that the Premier discovery was made on or near the border of the re- gently acquired Cascade Falls No. 5 claim and has revealed an ore body of large dimen- sions which apparently ex- tends considerably below the Premier 5th level, hitherto con- sidered as marking the "bot- tom" or lowermost limits of the Premier ore deposits.
 In the event that this is true, the discovery unqestionably possesses a great importance, aside from its possibilities as a future ore resource, as it tends to disprove the general belief that the Premier ore deposits of commercial grade d0 not go below the fifth level.
 The new found deposit Is said to extend into the Cascade Falls No. 5, and provided the incentive for the recent sud- den purchase of that property by the Premier company. So far as can be learned the ore is of good commercial grade and of the type common to oth- ar parts of the Premier group. Information regarding the di- mensiOns of the deposit is somewhat indefinite but it is said on reliable authority to be of such size that it will in all probability prolong greatly the productive life of the famous property.
 The B. c. Silver discovery is said to have been made on the No. 2 level at approximate ly 600 feet below the main or No. 3 tunnel, and near the southwesterly border of the Cakville Fraction and at no considerable distance from the point where the new Premier deposit referred to above is To- cated. The deposit is said to be of such dimensions that mine officials estimate a probable million dollars worth of ore but nothing could be learned regarding values, which are presumably similar to those found on the adjacent Premier ground.
 Bishop Titus Lowe, who is now in charge of the Metho- dist churches in Alaska, was a visitor in Hyder between the arrival of the Prince Charles Tuesday morning and the de- parture of the Fairbanks We'd nesday.
 Bishop Lowe was accompan- jed by Dr. Torbet, also an M. E. Church official, and Mrs. Torbet.
 Bishop Lowe is on his first trip of inspection since taking over the Alaska jurisdiction and will visit a large part of the Territory before returning to the States.

NEW COMPANY IS
 ORGANIZED FOR
 MONARCH GROUP

The rapidly increasing list of
 local mining companies has
 been further augmented by the
 organization in recent days of the Hyder-Monarch Gold Min
 ing Company, according to
 Arthur Moa, general manager of the Mountainview Gold Min ing Company and a director in the new company.
 The development of the we'll known Monarch group, lying between the Riverside proper ty and the Fish Creek holdings of the American Mining and
 Milling Co.,, is the primary aim of the new company, which is incorporated under the laws of Alaska, and possesses a share capitalization Of 3OO,OOO shares of $1 par value. The or- ganizers of the company are A. w. Fox, local United States Commissioner, John Hovland, prominent local mining man and president of the Unicorn Mines, Ltd., and MT. Moa, who is one of the foremost figures in the local mining world. The directorate includes Messrs. Moa and Hovland and Marshal D. Ickis a pioneer mining man of the district, all three of whom were the original locat- ors and owners of the Monarch group, The Monarch consists of ten claims, a portion of which have been surveyed preparatory to patenting.
 A limited amount of surface work done on the property in earlier years has revealed an extent of naturalization that warrants it's inclusion among the most promising mining locations in the Hyder section of the Portland Canal district.
 The location of the property, about 2 miles north of Hyder, is exceptionally favorable for transportation and operation, the lower end of the group be- ing only about 500 feet from the government highway up Salmon River valley. The ele- vation ranges from about 1000 feet to approximately 25OO feet. The group contains a ser ies of strongly mineralized veins striking northwest, the most important of which is shear zone paralleling the Riv- erside veins, from which assays running over 1000 ounces of silver and up to $54 in gold have been obtained. The ore is of the galena type and also carries additional values in lead, copper and zinc. Other veins on the property also show good values in the major min erals. The limited amount of work done on the group up to the present has given encour- aging results in every instance.
 The company is planning to devote it's first efforts to the development of the shear zone and is confident that it will de- velop important ore bodies.
 Possessing a decidedly prom ising property, and also a management composed of indi- viduals who are not only thor ough mining men but also men of the highest character and integrity, the future of the new company appears distinctly promising.

HYDER STEWART TELEPHONE & RADIO
 MERCER ANNOUNCED

AS result of a deal complet- ed here during the past week, the Hyder Radio and Tele- phone Company, of Hyder and the Portland Canal Telephone Company, of Stewart, B. C., have amalgamated their sev- eral interests into a new comp any, which plans important im- provements in local telephone and radio service, in addition to probable substantial reduet- ions in phone service charges that will tend to induce wider use of telephones throughout the district.
 The new company will oper- ate under the title of Portland Canal Telephone and Tele- graph Company and will have it's headquarters in Stewart.
 Ernest Love, present manager of the Stewart company, will be managing director and J. A. Hall, president of the Bank of Hyder, of Hyder, will be pres ident of the new organization. The board of directors will in- clude Messrs Hall and Love, in addition to W. R. Love, promi- nent resident of Prince Rupert, B. C., E. D. Haddon, mana ger of the Bank of Hyder, and
 ,. L. Dale of the Hyder Radio and Telephone Go.
 Under the terms of the con solidation both companies are taking stock in the new comp any to the value of their hold ings, while a small preferred stock issue will shortly be off cred for public subscription to carry out a wide range of new improvements planned for the present season.
 Work is scheduled to start at once on a construction program designed to link up the two sys- tems by means of a cable car rying 100 pairs of lines, which will extend from the new Stew art exchange on Sixth Street to Hyder, with a cable distribut- ion system at Hyder, Alaska, and Hyder, B. c. The ex- change for the three commun- ities, and also the Bear and Sal mon river telephone lines will be handled from the Stewart office, thus providing individ- ual telephone service for the different communities and the outlying sections. In addition the company also plans exten- sions of the system as condit- ions warrant.
 In addition to its telephone service, the amalgamated con- pany will carry on a commer- cial telegraph business to all outside points through the li- censed wireless station in Fly der and will also provide a pri- vate wire from Stewart to the wireless station here for local transmission of telegrams. A private booth will also be in- stalled in the central office in Stewart for the same purpose. A continuous 24-hour service will be maintained as in the past.
 The Portland Canal Telephone Company commenced operat- ion in Stewart two years ago and has built up a flourishing business carrying 85 telephone customers and has installed equipment capable of carrying three times that number of sub-
