FIRE DESTROYS
 MILLER RESIDENCE

Fire of undetermined origin but be- lieved due to defective wiring, de- stroyed the 4-room residence of Mir and Mrs. Joe. Miller on Premier Ave. last night. The blaze occurred be- tween 9 and 9:30 D. m. and involved not only the complete destruction of the building but practically the entire contents, only few articles of minor value being saved
 MT. Miller. who is employed by the American Creek Mining Company, and Mrs. Miller. were not at home when the blaze was first discovered by pass ers-by, who gave the alarm Those who arrived first on the scene were without means to quench the flames, which at that time appeared to be con fined to the front end of the build ing, and could do but little. Owing to distance, the chemical cart was long in arriving and by the time it reached the scene the fire had gained too much headway to- combat effect lively, although a valiant effort was made by crowd of volunteer fire fighters.
 The burned structure was located between the McGrew and Crawford barns and formerly was owned by Wm. McGrew.
 The loss is. estimated at approxi- mately $3,000.

Moose Dance Is
 Fine Success

The dance given last Satur- day evening in Pioneer Hall by he Moose lodge for the pur- pose of raising funds for purch- asing additional ground for the Hyder school, was a most en- ioyable event as well as a pleasing financial success.
 Ticket sales and door admiss- ions totaled $152.00. Expenses amounted to only $12.50, as a result of the donation of the hall by the Pioneers of Alaska, music by the Stewart orches- Ira, and printing and advertis- ,ng by the Hyder Herald.
 The proceeds will be devoted to purchasing the Fernald lot adjoining the school grounds for $100.00 and the remainder will, be turned into the Moose Christmas Tree fund for the kiddies of Hyder and Stewart.

GLOVER FAVORS
 ALASKA AIR MAIL

Irving w. Glover, second assistant postmaster general, is personally favorable to the es- tablishment of regular air mail service between Seattle and Alaska, according to inter- views attributed to him in Out side newspapers.
 MT. Glover visited Seattle re- gently expressly to investigate the air mail question and was quoted in one of the big dailies as saying with reference to the proposal: "It is a good route and would do Alaska banks and canneries a lot of good"
 Continuing, MT. Glover said he was going to put it up to the postmaster general when he returned to Washington and Eff it looks good to him, the House will be asked to increase the postal departments appro- priation for the fiscal year 19- 31, to permit initiating this service about six months from this time"
 MT. Glover said the postmas- ter generals office had been deluged with requests from Alaska and the Northwest for establishment of the service.

HYDER ALASKA, SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER B, l93O
More Free Gold
 Found On Unicorn

Additional discoveries of free milling gold ore on the Unicorn property, adjoining the Big Missouri, were reported this week by John Hovland, presi- dent and managing director of the Unicorn Mines company.
 AS reported earlier, free gold was found at several points in the No. 3 tunnel during recent weeks, indicating the presence in the Unicorn of extensions of the rich gold veins located in the Big Missouri.
 MT. Hovland informed the Herald that the latest gold finds were made late last week n the face of the No. 3 tunnel and some distance from the lo. cality where the earlier gold discoveries were made.
 A 2R foot lead in the face of the drift has now been found to shows free gold, Mr. Hovland said. In addition it has also been found that there s free gold in the porphyry formation adjacent to the vein and through which the tunnel IS being driven.
 A sample of the ore seen by the Herald representative was of approximately two ounces weight and showed spots of the yellow m t a l considerably larger than pin head at sev- eral points, with liberal spattering of finer particles 5howing over a large portion of
  the rock.
 Despite apparent pleasure over the gold discoveries, MT. Hovland continues to maintain an attitude of marked conserv- atism. He insists that the dis covery of the metal shows only hat there is some free gold in he property but is far from in dicating a bonanza mine.
 ''So far there has not been enough of it found to get excit- ed about" he said, although It's discovery is distinctly en- couraging."

 Relative to the Salmon River road improvement between Eight-mile and Eleven-mile, MT. Turoff expressed the view that work will be started on the project around October 1 and continue as long as wealth CT permits. The contract, for which the Gardner company recently submitted the lowest bid, must be signed by the sec : retary of agriculture but is ex pected to be completed in ann pie time for operations to com mence as indicated above.
 The bid of the Gardner comp any designated a price of $66,- 900, in round figures, for the work, while those of the Wright Construction Co.,, of Aberdeen, Wn., and the Seims Spokane Go. were respectively $67, 300 and $76,000

Fewer Company Busy
 On Davis Rives

Late reports from Davis Riv- CT indicate that the Portland Canal Power Go. is erecting a number of camp structures. apparently with the intention of doing considerable work on the big power development project this fall.
 The engineering investigat- ions made so far are said to in dicate ample water resources to meet the requirements of the project as planned, and also re- vealed an additional source of water supply in good sized lake a short distance from Dav- is River which can be tapped by a tunnel.
 Mir. Christie, surveyor, who has been assisting MT. Edwin R. Wright, resident engineer of the company, left for Seattle Thursday owing to the illness of his wife.
 MT. Willis T. Batcheller, pres ident of the company, is ex- pected to arrive from Seattle shortly.

CH|CKAM|N GROUP
 LOOKS PROMISING

S. c. Hubbard, Seattle busi- ness man, who is backing de velopment of the Metcalf and Fendley group in the Chicka- min Glacier section, left for the south Monday evening after a short visit in the district. M. c. Butler, consulting mining en- gineer, of Seattle, who is in charge of operations on the Chickamin popetty, accompan- jed MT. Hubbard south.
 MT. Hubbard said before sail ing that the results of the sum mer's development activities have been most encouraging but considerable work mus be done to fully determine the possibilities of the ground.
 Work has been directed prin- cipally to surface prospecting huge mineralized quart zone which in places is over 90 feet wide and yields very high gold assays in spots. The ore i< of free milling type and easily amenable to treatment. Samp ling of large quantities of the ore taken from cuts of various depths also indicates a gooo commercial average in the rel, atively small area on which prospecting has been done ur to the present time.
 Absence of effective mean. of transportation from the Tex as Creek highway and acros. the high-fronted Chickamir Glacier is the principal obstac le to development in the Chick amin section, which is at pres ent devoid of either roads O trails. This necessitate. manual transportation of sup plies and makes it extremely difficult to maintain more thar a small crew of men. The coun- try is also very rugged, making prospecting slow and difficult The projected construction oi a government pack trail into the district next year is expect ed to help greatly in overcom- ing present difficulties. With view to eXpediting activities next summer, MT. Hubbard plans to send in supplies and equipment this fall, to be trans ported over the snow when conditions are favorable.

Big Salmon Catch This Year.

Southeast Alaska's salmon pack for the 1880 season az gregated 2,884,418 cases of al varieties. This was 860,89S cases in excess of the 1929 pack, which totaled 2.023,51e cases. A few more cases vii be packed during the fall but will not greatly alter the above figures.
 The pack would probably have been even larger had not abnormally low prices in the market kept it down.

TEXAS CR HIGHWAY
 OPEN ID IBEx CR,

The completion and opening Iof the second section of the
 new Texas Creek highway was
 announced this week by L. w.
 Turoff, supervising engineer of
 the Bureau of Public Roads.
 The completed project in-
 cludes that portion of the pro-
 lected l2-mile roadway to the
 head of Texas Creek lying be-
 tween the big bridge over the
 north fork of Texas Creek and
 lbex Creek. The new section.
 4.37 miles ill length. was grad
 ed last year by the Gardner company, of Portland. Surfac. ing operations carried on this year by the,Siems-Spokane Co. were concluded a few days ago. The latter company is al- so engaged on the construction of the final unit of the high way between Ibex Creek and Chickamin Glacier at the head of Texas Creek.
 The newly finished section was given final approval and accepted by the Bureau of Pub lie Roads Wednesday and is now open to travel.
 In announcing the opening of the road, MT. Turoff said the new section cost in round fig ares S30,000. The surfacing op- included the placing of 100 yards of crushed rock in two layers of sufficient thick ness to insure a hard and per manent road bed. An unusual feature of the construction is a splendid safeguard to traffic provided by 2,400 feet of log guard rail along the outer edge of all potentially dangerous curves. This is an innovotion in local road construction that | will be appreciated by car driv- l CTS, as it will insure greater saf- ety and tend to prevent acci- dents. ......
 Future surface maintenance | of the new section has also | been provided for by placing | 800 yards of surfacing material n storage bins at several con- venient points along the high 1 way.
 Several who visited the com 1 pleted project late this week l say 1t is one of the finest exam pies of mountain road con- struction they have ever seen and warmly praise the splen- did work of the contracting | firm.
 Owing to being new, the road | is still bit soft in places and | the public is warned by MT. | Turoff not to drive owe r it at l more than moderate speed for a time, until the surfacing has thoroughly settled.
 The last section of the high i way, from Ibex Creek to the Chickamin Glacier, should be fully completed not later than October 5 if the present rate of | is maintained, Mr. | Turoff said. The work is now entering the final stages and | future progress should be rap i'd. The big power shovel em- ployed with such excellent suc- cess during the earlier stages has completed all necessary ex- cavation work and the rock ] crushing plant has been dis and removed to Hyder l for storage.
