The Northland Transport ation Company motorship Nor co will leave Seattle on Decem- Der 8 with freight for Hyder but will not visit this port, as the freight will be transferred at Ketchika n to another yes sel sailing direct to Hyder, ac- cording to advices received by the Hyder Dock Company, To- cal agents of the line.

not aware of the accident, was on the float at the far end of the dock when Capt. Stickler arrived and enlisted his assist ance. By the time his rescuers arrived MT. Hill had been in the water fifteen minutes or more and was so far gone that they were virtually compelled t pry him from the stringer, to which he was clinging with the proverbial tenacity of the drowning. Fortunately howev- CT, he suffered no serious eff fects from the long immersion and was able to be about again Tuesday evening, although his bruised arm and hip were painful reminders of his misad- venture.
 The boat, which continued to circle about near the dock ow- ing t o the rudder being jammed hard-over, was picked up later by Capt. Stickler and found undamaged.

WOODB|NE PLANS
 MAY BE EXTENDED

That it is probable that fut- ure operations on the Wood bine property will take on a more extensive character as a result of recent findings in the shaft sunk from the main lev el, in which water inflow re- gently blocked operations, is the outstanding feature of re- cent statement to Western Canada Mining News, of Van- couver, by Hugh B. McGuire, managing director of h. e Woodbine company.
 MT. Mcclure, according to that reliable journal, indicated that the flooding did not occur until the shaft had been sunk to the promising gold lead pre- viously revealed by diamond drilling, and good showings found entirely across the bot tom of the shaft, while one cor ner had been sunk for several feet in a good grade of ore, some of which assayed as high as $200 a ton. This statement, however, was not intended to suggest that an extent of this kind of ore had been disclosed as yet, as values ranged from a little over $5 up to that figure. with much that ran around $20, with the higher percent age of values in gold.
 From this it would appaar that the good results secured in the shaft before the water came in and prevented further work more than offset the ef- fleets of the inopportune flood ing. When correlated with previous development, d a. mond drilling, etc, the work done in the shaft definitely in- dicates the presence of a body of ore that is from 80 to 1G0 feet wide that is becoming in creaSingly richer and is now known to exist for some dist ance and depth as a result of test drillings and other devel- opment work
 MT. Mcclure indicated that some revision of plans may be put into effect, but with these further assuring indications it is probable that future operat- ions will take on q more exten- sive character.

TWO TRAM WORKERS
 ARE BADLY INJURED

James Knight, Premier tram way lineman, and Dimitri Ros- laeff, another tram worker, re- ceived serious and possibly fat al injuries through being struck by a runaway ore buck ct while travelling on the tram way a short distance below the Premier mine early Tues day afternoon.
 Knight, who is widely known in the district, sustained a fracture of the skull as a result of the impact with the loaded ore conveyor, while Roslaeff, suffered fracture of the spin- al column, according to reports from the mine.
 The two men were enrOute from the mine to the Nine-Mile camp of the Premier company when the accident occurred. They were riding on a heavy plank suspended from the tram cables on rolling devices known as timber hooks, which are customarily use to transport lumber and timbers over the tramway. Shortly after leaving the mine and while near the foot of the steep declivity ex- tending from the tram-head to the lower valley, they were ov- ertaken by the heavy iron bucket, which in some un- known manner lost its grip on the running cable and dashed down the steep incline at ex- press train speed. Roslaeff said later they saw the bucket approaching but, as the cable at that point is 75 feet above the ground they could not jump to safety. Even had this been possible, it is doubt full if they could have jumped in time, as the bucket was upon them almost instantly, so ter rifle was it's speed. So far as known the bucket did not strike either of the men. h. stead t appears to have crashed into the end of the two-inch plank on which they were riding, breaking it in two and hurling them into the air.
 Knight is thought to have been injured by striking a stump in his 75-foot descent to the ground and Roslaeff is be- lieved to have landed first on a fallen tree trunk.
 The unfortunate men were taken to the mine hospital by fellow employees and and were sent south on the Prince George Thursday for treat ment at Prime Rupert. Despite the gravity of their injuries both men are believed to have a fair chance to live.
 Apparently no one was in any way to blame for the accident, although it is against the rules for employees to ride on the tram. Also it is difficult to ex- plain why the ore bucket should have broken loose just at that time, when thousands of buckets go over the tram every week without coming loose from their fastenings. In fact it is said by tram employ ees that runaway buckets are a distinct rarity in view of the great number passing over the tram during the day, hence it is extremely hard to guard against such accidents.

Oson F. Hill Has Close Call


 inflicted a most severe bruise on his right arm and hip and all but rendered him uncon- scious, Oren F. Hill, local post master and proprietor of the Hyder Drug Company, came perilously close to losing his life by drowning near the Hy- der dock early Tuesday after noon.
 Mir. Hill, at the time of the accident, was testing the boats engine, which had just been overhauled by Capt. R. E. Stickler, master of the fine power cruiser employed under charter by the Portland Canal Power Company in its Davis River operations. With Capt. Stickler watching from MT. Hills boat house on the north side of the dock, MT. Hill cir cled the southerly end of the dock structure and was return ing at high speed when he suddenly saw a mass of drift Wod across his path. Being too close to slow down in time, he attempted to avoid the mass by passing throug the bents of the dock approach after a sharp turn. There was ample room to pass, but owing either to the tide or the oscillations of the swift-moving craft, the boat swered suddenly between the bents, striking the piles a glancing but violent blow as it passed under the approach. The impact tossed Mir. Hill out of the boat like a chip and be- fore he could make a move he was in the chilly water. To further complicate his situation one of his feet had become en- tangled in coil of rope in the boat and he found himself be- ing dragged through the water by the unguided boat. w eighed down by his heavy clothing, he went under several times be- fore kicking himself free at what appared to him to be at a considerable depth below the surface. On reaching the sur face after what seemed long time, he found new danger in the shape of the flying speed boat, which w a S tearing around in circles and threaten ing to strike him as it passed. Frovidentially this did not hap pen and with fast waning strength he managed to swim to the dock, hoping to cling to a pile until help arrived. He managed to reach his destinat- ion, although so weighted down by his heavy clothing he could scarcely keep his head above water. On reaching the piling he attempted to cling to the slimy logs but was so chilled and exhausted that he ,could not hold on. After sink ing below the surface saverel times he managed to reach and 1 get his arm over one of the cross braces between the piles and clung there until Capt. Stickler and Red" Vile could bring a row boat from the low CT end of the dock. As no other boats were available, Capt. Sticklerwas compelled to un- lash and lower one of the boats 1 from his own vessel at the far end of the main dock before going to the rescue. Also he was compelled to pull the Hill boat house up to the dock, climb the ladder and traverse the entire length of the long dock structure before reaching ing his vessel. Vile, who was

THERE remains. just time
Il enough to make a few predic-
tions before the football season
envelopes us and our minds grow
befuddled with formations and
shifts, tumble rules and triple
lateral passes.
Several persons have asked me
IL 1 thought Able Booth, Yale
quarterback, would be better this
season than last. Certainly he will
be better, unless injuries lay him
low. Tad Jones, the former Yale
coach, recently said that Booth
would be better, but just how
much better depended entirely on
the Yale team. Tad and I will
have no argument on that score.
Booth may not have grown an
inch or gained a pound over last
year but he'll be better by the ex-
~perience he gained in one full
season of big-time campaigning. If
Yale has a strong team with a good
combination of blocking forwards
and halfbacks, Booth will run wild.
1 can't believe that Pittsburgh
will have as strong a team al last
year, because there will be no Joe
Donchess, Ray Montgomery, Pug
Parkinson nor Toby Uansa. Panther
hackers view the 1880 situation
through spectacles of a rosy tint.
I'm not so enthusiastic, but ] i'm
agine that Pitt will win six games
and lose probably to Notre Dame,
Nebraska and Carnegie Tech. And
