IMPORTAN FIND
 ON UNICORN GROUP

Discovery of free gold at two different points in the No. 3 tunnel on the Unicorn prop erty of the Unicorn Mines, Ltd, was reported this week by John Hovland, president and managing director of the comp any.
 The tunnel, on which work has been in progress since last winter, is now in a little over 300 feet and the gold discover ies were made at a vertica. depth of about 100 feet, MT. Hovland said.
 Although conceding that the finding of free gold is import ant as indicating a possibility that the rich gold veins found in spots on the adjoining Big Missouri property may extend into the Unicorn, MT. Hovland was inclined to minimize the discovery owing to the fact that no defined gold bearing veins or deposits have been To- cated so far. Ill his view the most important feature of the find is that it was the first time that visible free gold has been found on the property.
 Free gold has been found in a number of places in the district" MT. Hovland said, "so the mere discovery of a little on the Unicorn may mean noth- ing. However, where there is some there may be more and as the tunnel face is now in a highly mineralized and silici- fled formation it is hoped that we are now approaching an important ore body"
 MT. Hovland also reported that a recently installed water blast ventilating system is giv- ing splendid service in keeping the tunnel free of gas and bad air. The system, which employs a fast-moving stream of water to create an air draft, requires less than an hour to entirely clear the tunnel of smoke and powder fumes after shooting.

ALASKA HIGHWAY
 SURVEYOR VISITS

The Pacific Yukon-Alaska highway reconnaissance survey now in progress north of Haz- elton under the direction of the British Columbia government, was extended to this district last week with the arrival here Saturday afternoon of a big Western Canada A ir ways plane bearing It. Colonel J. M. Rolston, leader of the govern ment survey party in the field, and MT. w. K. Gwyer, road superintendent for the north westernadistrict of British Col. umbia. MT. Gwyer's visit, how ever, was not connected with the highway survey.
 The two officials made the trip from Hazelton direct by way of Mass River and Mezi- adin Lake and remained here untilSunday morning. The re- turn trip was made by way of the headwaters of the Mass and Klappan Rivers and Dease Lake. The Klappan is a tribu- tary of the Stikine River, and, like the Mass, heads into the Klappan Mountains, situated near the southern border of the Stikine district, and flows northwestard to it's confluence with the Stikine about 30 miles south of Dease Lake. From the latter point the survey will lat CT be extended farther north and eventually to the border of the Yukon Territory.
 The purpose of the air recon naisances is to pick out the most feasible route for the pro- posed highway north of Haz- elton, according to recent of ficial announcements, but the visit of Col. Ralston to this sec ton, considerably to the west of the probable route of the highway, indicates that the To- cal proposal to build a branch highway to Stewart and Hyder is also receiving consideration.

BIG POWER PROJECT
 FOR DAVIS RIVER

nyufO-electflc power prOlec. on Davis River, IA miles be- low Hyder on the Alaska side of Portland Canal, is presaged in the arrival here this week of a party of four engineers Of the Portland Canal Power Company headed by a MT. Wright to make surveys for a power plant at or near the mouth of that stream.
 As is customary in such cas- es, the engineers had little to say regarding the project but from other sources it is learned that the company, which is said to have the backing of Chicago capital, has expressed the in tention of developing eventual ly 10000 horsepower at the Davis River site, which former ly was controlled by the Com monwealth Mining and Explor- ation Go. The rights of the lat, ter concern have been acquired by the Portland Canal Power Go. In addition to the power plant construction, the comp any plans construction of pow CT lines to supply the distric; with reliable power for light heating and power purposes.
 The leading figure in tho new project is MT. Willis T Batcheller, head of Willis T Batcheller, Incorporated, of Sc attle, widely known consulting engineers, who specialize il water power development.
 MT. Batcheller has beer working quietly on the Davi. River project since making visit to the district severa years ago and becoming con vinced by a personal examin ation of the possibilities O. Davis River as a power re source. During the past yeal or two he has further con firmed his estimate by secur ing through representatives careful measurements of the water flow in summer and win ter and under a wide variety of climatic conditions. 1 t.. i { learned from a reliable source that the data obtained indi cates that there is at all time. an ample supply of water te meet the requirements of large power plant, as we'll as adequate water storage possi- bilities.
 The value of such a develop ment to the district would be immeasurable. It has long been recognized here that cheap and easily available power is one of the primary needs in the development of mines and in commercial mining. The sue cessful completion of the pro- ject will undoubtedly result in a marked acceleration of min ing activities in all parts of the district, particularly in the case 0 undeveloped prospects, which could be opened up in less time and at far lower cost than at present. The company should also find a lucrative field in supplying power to the established mines W h i c h now maintain costly mechan- ical power plants and prob. ably would avail themselves of the opportunity to secure stable power at lower cost I, is the general view in mining and business circles that the completion of the new project

Details of Fendley Accident

tained a broken leg on the Met calf and Fendley property on Banded Mountain last week indicate that fortuitous circum- stance alone prevented the un- fortunate incident from be- coming possible fatality.
 According to MT. M. c. But Ter, mining engineer in charge of operations on the property, it may be considered almost a miracle that MT. Findley was not badly maimed or killed, as the rock which struck him was a huge boulder weighing ap- proximately POO pounds and fell or rolled a distance of 40 or 50 feet from the precipitous banks of rocky gulch before striking it's victim.
 MT. Butler said the accident occurred about 10 a. m. Friday morning. MT. Fendley had been assisting MT. Butler to ob- tain samples from an almost inaccessible vein of ore some distance up on the wall of the gulch and had remained be- hind after MT. Butler left to send the samples up to MT. Metcalf and others employed on the property who were wait. ing on the rim of the gulch No one knows how the rock be- came dislodged from it's rest ing place and its fall was not seen until it was almost upon the unsuspecting man at the bottom of the gulch. The i'm. pact of the boulder against his leg hurled MT. Fendley into the icy water of the stream which flows through the gulch wetting him to the skin and further increasing the precar- iousness of his situation. Owing to the rough character of the ground it was found imposs- ible to carry the injured man to the camp, situated a con- siderable distance away, and he was made as comfortable as possible in tent pitched at a favorable spot near the scene of the accident. MT. Butler then started over the glacier for help and arrived at the Seims-Spokane Co.,, road camp on Texas Creek late Friday evening, after notifying every one encountered enroute re- garding the accident. From the road camp MT. Butler was talk en by auto truck to the Premier mine, where he secured splints and medical supplies and hur- ried back to Banded Mountain. In the meantime several par ties had gone over the ice to help bring the injured man out and Deputy U. s. Marshal Don. E. Martin, who happened to be at the Blasher camp on Elmer, aid Lake, arranged with five men engaged on a road con- tract in that locality to go over the glacier early Saturday morning. Mir. Martin then pro- ceeded to tile main road camp near Ibex Creek, where Mir. Anderson, superintendent of the road construction operat- ions generously placed at his disposal 8 more members of the road crew and also sent a company truck carrying a spring bed and mattress as far up the road as was safe to await MT. Fendley's arrival.
 The first news of the accident l was brought to town Saturday morning by MT. Baker, who had left the Metcalf and Fend- ley camp Friday evening and

SNAPPY STORY
AMUSING AT
RIALTO

Despite its lurid advertising,
THE Lady Surrender" IS q fine
picture, one that carries out the
newly-avowed policy Of Universal,
the production Of better, instead
of more, pictures.
While it may not be exactly
the choicest bit for q child to
see, If the child has seen the gen
eral run of pictures. his m0deSty
win not be shocked by this one.
As for the story, it was Origi-
nally titled by John Erskine, "Sin-
cerity." It deals with the 'in-
fernal triangle" to which q diff
ferent touch is applied.
Conrad Nagle, as Winthrop
Beauvel, is placed in a precarious
position. He has flair for shoot
ing ducks when he Is not kept
busy at his bed factory.
His wife is Rose Hobart, for
merly behind the footlights, who
is entirely too sophisticated for
her husband. She has no time
for his love, or the sharing Of his
interests.
Beauvel's duck-shooting trip is
postponed because his wife has
a round Of social engagements
which she deems more important.
Her friend, Mary Alden, returns
from Europe, visits the Beauvel
home. and makes herself most
agreeable to Winthrop.
Genevieve Tobin, anot her
Broadway star, is Mary. She,
like her friend, has written
novels. Isabel Beauvel pens
"The Marriage Trap" which she
writes under the name of Mary
Smith. The article IS a scathing
denunciation Of marriage, as Tar
as the woman is concerned.
Among the answers she re-
ceived was one from her hus-
band, defending the mans side.
She recognizes his handwriting,
and sends Mary to find his views.
Mary falls in love with Beau
vel but tries not to show it..
Isabel, misunderstanding, leaves
for Europe, where she falls in
love with an adventurer and
cables home that she is getting
a divorce.
Winthrop and Mary, wed after
the decree was supposed to have
been issued Isabel'S lover, fear
ing that a divorce will cut off
the money, disappears. She then
decides that she doesn't want q
divorce and comes home with
the news just as the newlywedS
return from their vacation, leav-
ing poor Winthrop with two
wives.
A dramatic end, in which an
accident figures, turns out as
everyone had hoped. Conrad
Nagel, one Of the pioneers Of the
talkieS, is, as ever, most pleas
ing. AS to the two feminine
leads, both are good, with Miss
Tobin having, Of course, the
more sympathetic role.
A newSreel, and comedy, in
which Lynn OVerman draws
laughs in a story which is still
funny, complete the program
