With a glance at Abbys portly sill

Of the upper rooms of the house, the

The grass was heavy with dew, and
she had forgotten that she had on satin
slippers, but she few on, conscious sud-
denly that the distance was greater
than she had bargained on, conscious
that mist had risen like a veil to
envelop her-a mist both clammy and
sitting. Possibly 1t was what they
called miasma from the rock bound
pool at the back of the house.

The girl stopped short. Her eyes
strained to catch a second glimpse of
that terrifying uncertain outline. But
whatever 1t was, the thing had passed
on. A bird, perhaps, its size exaggerated
by the mist, or great winged bat.
With laugh that sounded tremulous
even in her own ears, she pressed on
in the direction of the red barn, but
before she had taken half a dozen
steps her feet felt as though a weight
Of lead had been attached to them Not
until she had reached the barn and laid
a hand on the door did she admit to
herself that the thing was there again

NATIONAL BODY URGES AIR MAIL
 ROUTE FOR ALASKA

Air mail service between Alaska and the United States was endorsed by the National Aeronautical Association of the United States at it's recent annual convention, thus bring ing the weight of the strong est aviation influence in Amer jet behind the present efforts of Territorial and other inter ests to induce the government to extend its aerial mail-carry- ing operations to Alaska.
 The National Aeronautical Association has a chapter in virtually every important cen ter in the United States and includes about one million per sons in it's membership.
 Resolutions urging the post master general to extend air mail service to Alaska were adopted unanimously by the convention, at which the Terr- itory was represented by Val entine Gephart, delegate from Seattle, at the request of the Washington Alaska Airways.
 Following the convention, MT. Gephart also went to Washington, D. c. to urge act ion by the postal officials on the conventions resolution.

Casey Moran Still Alive

Casey Moran, noted Northern newspaper man whose death in Venezuela was reported re- gently in the Alaska press, is apparently still alive, accord ing to a recent issue of the Jun eau Empire.
 The Empire story of Casey's revival states that the wife of B. H. Moran, Casey's son, had received a message from the supposed defunct Moran dis closing that he was still very much alive subsequent to his reported demise.
 The erroneous story of Mor- ans death is said to have ema- ated from a man who claimed to have been an intimate friend of the former Alaska journal ist and who informed the younger Moran that Casey, who has been publishing a newspaper in Maracibo, Vene- zuela, that his father had died there some months ago. The man also asserted that he had himself brought the body of Casey back to Louisiana for in- torment. The younger Moran did not question the word of his informant, but wrote for de- tails of his fathers alleged passing, only to receive an an swer showing Casey to be still | on deck. The man who told so glibly of Casey's finish was later picked up at Wrangell and held for observation and was also charged with obtain ing money under false preten- ses.

B. C. Silver Reports Progress

The following official report of August operations on the B. c. Silver property was released by the Selukwe Company head quarters in London September 26th and was received this week by mail.
 "All work was confined to No. 6 level. Drift GA, the north easterly drive on the zone from the main 627 crosscut, was ad- vanced 46 feet, thus bringing the face to 161 feet from the main crosscut. This was partly in sificified and partly in green porphyry. No commercial val ues were found.
 Drift 645, the southwesterly extension of GA drift, was ad- vanded IT it. in highly silici- fled mineralised porphyry, showing low values. This put the face at 32 feet from the main crosscut.
 Drift 647, the southwesterly drive on the zone from 676 crosscut, twas advanced "A ft., thus putting the face at 40 fit. from the edge of 676 crosscut. This was all in we'll silicified and heavily mineralised DOT phyry. Low values persisted throughout.
 Crosscut 689, southeasterly off 637 drift at hub, plus 25 fl. (roughly 415 fit. from the
 haft) was advanced 57 fit. from the edge of the drift. This was all in we'll silicified heavily metallised zone, show ing low values. Some further ,rosscutting was done without showing anything of import ance. A total of 231 it of drifting, crosscutting and side 3wiping was done during the period"

Plane Brings Visitors

The Pioneer Airways sea- plane Sea Pigeon, piloted by Jerry Smith, dropped over the lofty peaks west of -Hyder at 6:30 p. m. Tuesday evening and landed so quietly that few were aware of its coming un- til after it was tied to the Fly der dock. The plane came from Ketchikan via Dall Is- land directly over the mount aims and flying at an altitude of 10000 feet. Arriving over the camp, Pilot Smith shut off his motor and gave pretty exhibition of side-slipping into the deep and comparatively narrow channel of Portland Canal. This accounts for the noiseless landing.
 The plane brought two pass engers, Paul H. Abbott, Alaska representative of the Dupont Powder Company, and J. A. Talbot, Ketchikan business man. MT. Abbott came over on business of his company and MT. Talbot, who formerly re- sided here and managed the old Salmon River Dock Comp any, combined both business and pleasure in his visit.
 The plane returned to Ketch- ikan Wednesday morning, car rying Messrs. Abbott and Tal- bot and two local passengers, George Mooney and Oscar Per son, both of whom have been engaged on the Texas Creek road work during the summer.

Stewart Founder Passes Away

Frank P. Stewart, founder of our neighbor town of Stewart, B. C., and an oldtimer of the North, passed away at his home in Benton, Washington. October 3 at the age of 76 years, according to press an- nouncements. Death was due. to cancer and came while he was undergoing an operation for the relief of that dread malady.
 Pap, Stewart, as he was known to his familiars, is cred ited with having made the first mineral locations in the Bear River district, where Stewart later came into existence. The noted Mountain Boy property on American Creek is one of properties located by him at that time and he continued in ownership until recently. His entry into this section is said to have been the outcome of a trip made by him to the head waters of the Mass River in 18- 99, from which he came to the head of Portland Canal via the Bear River pass.
 He was a native of Indiana and followed minig and pros pecting throughout his life time and at one time prospect ed and mined in Alaska. He is survived by a widow, six sons and two daughters, all of whom reside in the States.

[, ". SAWYER SAYS
 HIGHWAY PROGRAM
 PROGRESSING NICELY

The big Pacific -Yukon-Alas- ka Highway project is making good progress and is receiving splendid support in the Yukon Territory and also wide pub licity in the Outside press, is the substance of statement relative to the highway situ- ation made recently by Ernest Walker Sawyer, assistant to the secretary of the interior, to A. F. Halloway, representative of the Alaska Weekly, who vis- tied the Hyder district last week.
 Mr. Sawyer's statement was made to MT. Halloway on board the steamship Princess Louise at the conclusion of an extended visit to the Yukon district and other sections of the north during the past sum- mer.
 The Highway programis pro- gressing nicely, MT. Sawyer said. The Yukon-Pacific High way Association of Dawson, is a great booster for the project and MT. Furth, Gold Commiss- toner Mclean, and other prom inent Yukon residents are also great boosters for the highway. MT. George Black, Speaker of the House in Ottawa, is also enthusiastic over this far reaching development, Mr. Sawyer said.
 MT. Sawyer said he visited Dawson in July in connection with the project and Major Malcolm Elliott of the recent ly appointed American com mission to study the highway proposal and Governor George A. Parks also visited the Yuk- on metropolis in June.
 During the conversation Mir. Sawyer drew MT. Halloway's attention to a number of fine publicity articles on the high way in the Los Angeles Times and other publications, in- cluding an especially fine art icle in Touring Topics,. The latter journal goes to 250,000 people, each of whom is inter ested in travel. MT. Sawyer said it is expected that next simmer will see a material number of tourists visit British Columbia and the Cariboo highway as a result of this pub licity. Following his return to the States, MT. Sawyer was sched- uled to be the guest of Lieut.. Governor Bruce and Premier Tolmie in Victoria and later to go to Washington, D. C., for a conference on the highway with Major Elliott and Her bert H. Rice, the third member of the American highway com mission.

ANNOUNCES
 PROBABLE REDUCTION
 OF NEXT DIVIDEND

CTS at the next quarterly distri- button, as result of low sil- yer prices and resultant net earnings, combined with a de- sire on the part of the company to conserve sufficient cash to acquire other meritous mining properties, was announced by H. A. Guess, vice-president and managing director of the Pre- mier Gold Mining Company on October 4th. The announce ment was made in a note to company shareholders sent out in connection with the last quarterly dividend distribution and reads as follows:
 To the Stockholders:
 Due largely to the continued low price of silver which fol the past three months has av eraged about S5f per ounce ag compared with about 53f ir the year 1929 and 58f in 1928 the earnings of your Compan. 80 far this year have beer at the rate of slightly under $1,000,000. per annum where as the quarterly dividend of 6, per share Is equivalent to $1, 100000. U. s. currency per an. mum.
 Furthermore it is important that your company conserve sufficient cash to be enabled tt acquire other mining property of merit should an opportunit. upon an attractive basis occur
 Therefore it is probable that the dividend at the next quar- ter will be somewhat reduced
 H. A. Guess Vice-Presidept and Managing Director.
 As indicated in the statement the impending reduction is duo primarily to the prevailing low price of silver, ranging from IS to 23 cents per ounce less than in 1929 and 1928. Thi. represents to the company {; reduction of about 33 1-3 pc cent in the present average re turn from silver Iecoveries a. compared to the average re turn for the two previous years
 During the same period the earnings of the company have steadily declined as result ot lessening metal recoveries unti at the present time they are av- eraging less than the amount required to meet the 6 cent div idend rate. Under such cir, cumstances it is hardly to bt expected that the six cent rate paid since the first quarter ot 1928 could be maintained. l; fact the company has done re markedly we'll to maintain thG same rate of dividends as lona as it has in the face of botl lowering recoveries and declin ing silver values. That it ha been able to do so has been du' partially to the use of reserved funds combined with except ional operative and bushes management. With few eX captions, every large silve producing company on the con tinent has either reduced o entirely withheld dividend dis tributions during most of tn past year.
 Although the necessity whicl compels the company's decis ion is regrettable, it is clea that there is no other alterna

@. Is it true that "Cheerio' puts on
his programs without compensation?
Are his canaries musical instruments
or birds?-Frank Sterrett, Emporia, Va.
A. Right both times. The man who
is known only as "Cheerio" does not
receive a cent for all the time he
spends on these programs. While he
Is by no means a rich man, he has
enough money to live on comfortably.
He donates his time, but the singers
and musicians are paid. The canaries
are real birds, especially trained to sing
with music. Training them Is long
job, requiring great deal Of patience,
and the young woman to whom they
belong says that such training Is pos
sible with only a few birds.

Edith Rankin, Struthers, Ohio.
A. It probably would give O little
