.SILVERADO OUTLOOK
 REPORTED ID BE
 VERY PROMISING

Although little can be learned regarding the actual results of the development work done
 by the Premier company on the Silverado property during the past season, the meager in- formation available indicates that it has been successful and that there is a gratifying prospect that the property will soon be in production.
 From what can be learned of the present situation it appears that the 1900 foot tunnel run during the past winter has en- countered at an approximate depth of 500 feet three highly mineralized veins which are re- liably reported to present indi- cations of being the downward extensions of the sensational silver bearing leads found on the surface something over a year ago. The company is said to have drifted on one of the veins for an approximate dist ance of 75 feet or so. What val ues are contained in the ore is not known but samples seen are apparently of commercial grade. Activities are reported being directed at present to driving an upraise. It is under stood that this will be put up approximately 200 feet to en- able exploration of the ore de- posits at higher elevation.

value of that artery of travel has since been fully justified by the subsequent develop ment in the Texas Creek area of one of the most promising mineral districts in Alaska.
 For the development of this project, which has since result ed in the alteration of the orig inal pack trail into the splendid government highway now un- der construction, the people of the Hyder district owe no small debt of gratitude to MT. Wy ckoff, whose discernment of the latent possibilities of that area paved the way for both improvements.

ENGINEER
 EXAMINES RECENT
 COPPER DISCOVERY

The rich copper ore discovery made by Sam. Robertson on Portland Canal a short dist ance below Hyder has been a leading subject of discussion in, mining circles throughout the week.
 Of chief interest is the quest ion of whether the strike indi- cates the existence of a new mineral field or denotes an unexpected eastern extension of the Chickamin zone. Owing to the dense timber and snow covering the locality at present little can be seen of the sur rounding terrain and the true geology will probably not be determined for some time.
 A small amount of work done on the lead by Sidney Ander- son and Robertson has dis closed that the visible portions of the vein range from 3 to 8 feet in width and carry the same heavy naturalization as far as penetrated.
 Dr, R. L. Mandy, inspected the discovery this week on be- half of the Granby company but vouchsafed no statement except that the value of the strike cannot be determined until more work is done.
 B. B. Smith, well known min- ing man, who spent several days on the ground this week in the interest of the owners, returned to town Thursday and reported that several pros pectors have visited the strike and quite a number of claims have been staked in the neigh borhood of the discovery.

DEATH BATTLE
 BETWEEN "PILE RATS" AND "ARISTOCRATS"

In what is declared to have been the most terrific base ball battle ever waged in Fly der, two aggregations of ball tossers known as the "Aristo- crats" and the "Pile Rats" bat tied to the death on the local ball ground Tuesday evening before an impromptu gather ing of fans, whose "rooting" capacities led many to believe that a riot was in progress on the ball lot. The Herald rep resentative did not witness the contest but the story of the fray was obtained from an eyewitness, as follows:
 However, before proceeding, we wish to state that we do not know whether said eye witness was an disinterested observer and do not vouch for the yer ity of his account. Indeed we have a slight suspicion that he may have been a wee bit bi- ased in his summary.
 Anyway, this is what he repor- ed: ''In a ball game Tuesday night on the local grounds, the "Aristocrats" took the "Pile Rats" into camp to the tune of 34 to 6. And that was not all, as the official scorekeeper, Brick Lindegaard, had no ad- ding machine. The "Aristo- crats showed how hitting should be done, while the "Pile Rats" showed how to hit only the ambient air. { What ever kind that is.) About all the "Pile Rats appeared to needed to even hope to keep the score close was a battery, four infielders and a bunch of sluggers.
 It was also observable that had "24O" and Jack Burns been equipped with gates be- tween their legs things might have been somewhat different, with the gates closed, of course.
 The only hope the ''Pile Rats" had was in the 5th inning, with the score 6 to 3 against them, At that time they had

the bases full, with two out and weak hitter coming up. They switched hitters and put in pinch hitter ''Holger John son." who had the chance of a life time. After hitting the air twice and with three balls called, he took a mighty swing at the next ball, which was right over the plate. Everyone held their breath expecting a home run at least; but when the dust cleared off the ball was discovered in the catch CTS mitt and there was a man dead on each sack.

The long anticipated report of Professor A. F.. Buddington on the geology of the Hyder district is expected to be avail able for distribution in a few weeks, according to a commun- ication received by the Herald from MT. w. c. Mendenhall, acting director of the U. s. Geological Survey.
 MT. Mendenhall also announ- ces the forthcoming appear ance of another report by Prof. Buddington covering the geol- ogy and mineral resources of a large part of southeastern Alaska. The latter publication will be issued as Bulletin 800 and will be issued during the coming fall. MT. Mendenhall states that he will glad to furn- ish copies of either volume up- on request to anyone to whom they would be of value. Those who desire copies of the report on Hyder and vicinity should apply for Bulletin 8O7.

EXPORTS WORTH $l,635,O51I
 COPPER LEADS

Alaska commidities shipped to the United States in April had an aggregate value of $1,- 552, ,425, as compared to $90O,- 935 for the same month last year, showing a gain of $651,- 5O2, according to the monthly statement of commerce issued by J. c. Mcbride, Collector of Customs for the Alaska dist rict. The report places the total commerce for the month at $1,635, ,051.
 The gain was due principally to an increase in the value of copper ore exports, shipments for the month having a total value of $975,831, an increase of $390,278 over April, 1928.
 Canned salmon also showed a marked gain, climbing from S4,46O a year ago to $176,935 last month. Fur shipments also increased about $65,OOO. The list of exports and their values

NINTH LEGISLATIVE SESSIONS IS ENDED
 l24 BILLS PISSED

The ninth Alaska Legislature concluded it's deliberations Kt Juneau last week, after being in continuous session more than "A hours and 12 hours beyond the allotted sixty day period. Reports of the last hours Of the session disclose that the expected. legislative jam in the Senate failed to material ize and the House of Repre- sentatives, by steady applicat- ion, managed to clear up it's docket some hours before ad- journment. The Senate also got down to business near the end and almost cleared the slate before the session ended.
 The session., according to the press accounts, was distidg- uished by a noticeable absense of what may be termed con structive legislation. The sol- ons did themselves proud in the matter of appropriations, how ever, a total of $2,275,0O0 be- ing set aside for various pur- poses during the course of the. session. This was but $75, ,0OO- less than the high water mark mark established by the 1927 legislature, which led all oth. CTS in the size of it's cash ap. environments.
 A summary published by the Juneau Empire discloses that g total of 124 measures were passed during the session, a majority being of the so-called relief type or carrying fund allotments for various purpos- es.
 Probably one of the most im- portant of the enactments was the act making elective the of- fices of Territorial Treasurer, Commissioner of Education, Territorial Auditor and Terri tOrial Commissioner of High ways, all of which are to be elected at the general election in November, 1880.
 With the exception of the Commissioner of Education, who will serve until July and be succeeded by a success or named recently by the Edu- cational Board, present hold CTS of the several offices will hold over until their success ors are selected by popular vote. The position of Auditor, being newly created, was filled. by the legislature in joint sess- ion, Cash Cole, of Juneau, be- ing chosen by lot from a list of three candidates.
 All measures passed, with the one exception of the so-called Poor Convict bill, have been signed by Governor George A Parks.
 Included among the more im- pOrtant legislation enacted, ex- elusive of purely appropriat4 ion measures, are the follow ing.
 House Bills:-
 No. 8 Re. compensation of in- jured employees; a reenact- ment with slight notifications of the old compensation law; No. 7-Re legal holidays in Alaska; 21-Requiring all Ter ritorial and municipal employ ess to be citizens of the U. S.;

LOCAL. HIGHWAY FUNDS NOW TOTAL
 OVER $l76,0OO

Funds for trail and highway improvements in this district totaling $176,500 have been appropriated by the Forest Service road and trail bureaus and will be expended in this locality during coming periods, according to recent announce ments by Forestry Service of ficials.
 Foremost among the several allotments made is an appro- priation of $147,000 for the construction of the final section of the Texas Creek highway to the upper end of the Texas Creek valley. An additional appropriation of $28,000 has also been made for surfacing the completed sections of the same highway.
 This total of $175,O0 will be expended under the direction of the Bureau of Public Roads of the department of agricult- ure.
 In addition to the above the Forest service also contem- plates three important trail construction and maintenance programs in the district this summer, ,and for which a total of $1, 500 has been made avail able.
 The latter projects, as out lined to the Herald by MT. J. M. Wyckoff, district forest ranger, include the expendit- ure of $500 on constructing a trail from the main highway to the Moose swimming pool and picnic park a short dist ance above town. This project, which is now under way under the direction of MT. T. H. Ev- ans, maintenance foreman of the Bureau of Public Roads, al- so includes the construction of a parking place for vehicles in connection with the trail.
 Mir. Wyckoff also announced that an additional $500 has been allotted for the mainte- nance, of the Daly-Alaska trail and also a similar amount for repairs to the trails in the Fish Creek area. These projects will also be carried on under the direction of MT. Evans.
 Prospectors in the Texas Creek section have also out lined 8 new travel route from the terminus of the Texas high way to the Chickamin glacier and have requested the Forest Service to appropriate funds for a new trail. It is said that the new route will obviate many of the transportation diff faculties of the present route, and will serve not less than a dozen individual claim owners in the Banded Mountain area, in addition to shortening the distance and eliminating the staked trail across the glacier.
 MT. Wyckoff said the Forest Service will investigate the proposal as soon as possible and if found warranted the work will be undertaken dur ing the present season. In such case, it is understood that the new route will be made a per manent one..
 Reference to the latter pro- ject recalls the fact that the construction of the present Texas Creek pack trail was due in a large degree to the Judgement and foresight of Mir. Wyckoff, who personally investigated and recommended the project in 1924. His opin- ion regarding the prospective
