HYDER ALASKA, SATURDAY, MAY 3l, l93O
NEW EMBARGO ON
 SILVER PROPOSED

An embargo on silver, except that imported for process and minting purposes would be au- thorized under a bill intro- duced in the House this month by Representative Arnett,, of Nevada, according to Wash ington, D. c. reports.
 Representative Arnett said in the House that the rejection of a duty of 30 cents an ounce on silver in the tariff bill placed the responsibility of giving domestic silver producers pro- lection on congress.

B. SILVER REPORTS
 MARCH PROGRESS

The March development re- port of the B. c. Silver, re- leased in London early this month, discloses a total of 372 feet of drifting, crosscutting and sideswiping during the month, in addition to 561 feet of diamond drilling. All work was done on the sixth level.
 Crosscut 676, running north west from near the end of the main drift, was advanced 155 feet, exposing the ore zone for 39 feet. One 5 foot side sample in this zone assayed $25, chief ly gold. No commercial values were exposed in other parts of the property, although several siicified and we'll mineralized areas were located in various drifts and crosscuts.
 An important development was the location by diamond drilling of the downward con- tinuation of the ore zone ex- posed in Premier 4 H stope and in B. c. Silver drift 636, at the elevation of the B. c. Silver No. ' level, roughly 100 feet below No. 6 level. The zone at this elevation was we'll silici- fled and heavily mineralized but did not show commercial values at the point of contact.

PROSPERITY OUTPUT
 INCREASES : APRIL

Increasing tonnage and also increasing values from ore are shown in the monthly report of the Premier Gold Mining 'Co. relative to operations on the Prosperity group during April.
 Ore shipped during the month aggregated 1870 tons, made up of two shipments of 5S5 and 785 tons respectively.
 The assay value of the ore, as shown by smelter reports was $54,002.21. Mining, trans portation and smelting costs amounted to $24,899.66, leav- ing a net return of $29, ,102.55 for the month.
 The report discloses that the silver content of the ore was greater than in earlier ship ments, ranging from 80 to 125 ounces to the ton.

NEWSY JOTT|NGS BEARING ON LOCAL
 MINING ACTIVITIES
Sebakwe Ore Body Is
 Worth About $500, 900

Reporting the recent annual meeting of the Selukwe comp any, the Mining World and En- gineering Record (London) points out that although no ore has actually been blocked out on the local properties of the Sebakwe and District Mines, the tonnage indicated on No. 4 level showed a length of zone of 200 feet, with an av- craze width of 15 feet, worth SIP. No. 5 level showed a length of zone 200 feet, having an average width of 15 feet worth $11.50. Assuming the pay shoot to extend 50 feet above the No. 4 level to 50 feet below No. 5 level. with the same width and length, there is a stoping length of of 325 feet on the dip and a gross tonnage of 750,000- tons, and assuming also 13 cubic feet to the ton, there is a gross value for this shoot alone of-$881,- = 250.

GEORGIA RIVER GOLD DEVELOPMENT
 IS SATISFACTORY

Work is steadily going ahead on the Georgia River property of the Georgia River Gold Mines company with satisfact- ory results, according to re- cent announcements in Vancou- yer.
 The tunnel has now been driv- en through the last of the ore occurrences and drifting is in progress on the southern pro- jection of the Bullion vein, with 300 feet to go to come un- der the winze sunk from the level of the Bullion tunnel. This will bring the workings into the most productive area of the property, namely the high grade shoot at the winze. Even now the work is said to show the vein we'll defined, and indications are favorable for the development of an ore body at any time.
 When the present objective is reached, drifting will then continue on the Bullion vein to intersect the main vein, then along the main vein to a point under the ore shoot opened up in the No. l tunnel on the southwest vein.

Wernecke Mines, Mayo
 Are Not Shut Dowr.

That the Treadwell Yukon company's Wernecke mines at Mayo, Yukon territory, have not been closed down owing to the present silver depreciation was definitely determined this week. Not only have the mines not closed,as reported lately, but the company anticipates a larger production this year than ever before.
 The ore from the Mayo dist rict is transferred six times and moved by four different meth ods of transortation before reaching the Bunker Hill smelt- CT at Kellogg, Idaho. The ore is first hauled from the mines to the Yukon river by caterpill- ar engine while the ground is frozen. This trip is followed by a voyage by river steamboat, a rail haul, an ocean steamship voyage to Seattle and another railroad trip from there to Kel- logg. Questions as to whether the ore is rich enough to war rant such transportation are answered in the engineers re- port to P. R. Bradley which shows that 1718 tons shipped from the Lucky Queen con- tained 479 ounces of silver to the ton, 48 per cent lead and 7 per cent zinc. From the Sadie mine, 42,493 tons of ore aver aged more than 58 ounces of silver, 9 per cent lead and nearly 5 per cent zinc before it was passed through the con centrating plant.

Airplane Due Monday

A telegram from the Gorst Airways received Monday by h is publication announced the expected visit to Hyder on Wednesday of one of the company's airplanes with pass engers. The message also an nounced that the ship would take a return passenger to .Ketchikan for the nominal sum of $20. A later message from the company, however, said the trip had been post poned until next Monday, on which day the plane would bring three passengers. The messages gave no indication of the identity of the passengers.

Hyder Flcod Protection
 Plans Are Received

The Herald received this week from the U. s. War De- pertinent engineering board full details relative to the plans submitted to the War Depart ment for the construction of permanent works on Salmon River for the protection of Fly der against floods, together with maps showing their pro- posed location and general character.
 The plans were prepared by the army engineering board for submission to the department with recommendations for the construction o f protect i V e works costing approximately $8O,00O.
 Their utilization, however, is primarily dependant upon the results of an extensive investi- gation by army engineers, for which an appropriation of $500 was recently authorized by congress.
 Owing to their extensive char acter, full details of the pro- posals embraced cannot be presented until next week.

 VOYAGE TO STIvERS

Residents of Portland Canal, both Alaskan and Canadian, paid a community tribute of of friendship and. good wishes to Col. E. R. Stivers, retiring local customs official, at the farewell dance in his honor in Pioneer Hall Tuesday evening.
 The entertainment was at tended by one of the largest gatherings of citizens ever seen in the district, more than 200 people filling the big hall all most to capacity. In addition to a large number from Stewart, many residents of Premier were also on hand to pay their respects to the departing offic- ial and wish him bon voyage.
 After a short period of danc- ing, MT. Dale L. Pitt, manager of the Premier Gold Mining Company, voiced the regard of the community for Col Stivers in an address, in which he ex- tolled in oft-times eloquent terms his splendid personal qualities and also his excellent administration of the affairs of the local customs office during the ten years of his incumbency as deputy collector.

In conclusion he ex- pressed his appreciation of the friendships gained during his decade of local residence and asserted that his memories of Hyder and the Portland Canal district and it's people will re- main among the most cher ished of his recollections.
 The big hall was tastefully and handsomely decorated with the white and purple of the Elks' order, of which Col. Stivers is a member, and pre- scented a charming aspect The music provided by a 7-piece or ehestra made up of accomp- lished Stewart musicians, was splendid and furnished a mus ical treat for the assemblage, in addition to delighting the lovers of terpsichore.
 The entertainment was fur ther enhanced by an excellent luncheon which amply attested ] the catering skill of the re- freshment committe. The com mitties in charge of other feat ures of the entertainment also won the unstinted praise of the gathering for faultless arrange ments displayed. A more inter- esting and successful public en- ] tertainment has never been held in the district and all con- nected with the arrangements are entitled to the highest praise for their splendid eff forts.

TURKEY WEIGHTS


The larger the turkey the. smaller
the loss when killed and plucked for
market. the United States Department
of Agriculture observes. Gobblers av-
eraging 1876 pounds lost about 10 per
cent; those averaging III pounds
lost SO per cent; those averaging 2O.o9
pounds lost 8.8 per cent; and those
averaging 2s.9 pounds LOST rs per
cent. Turkey hens averaging 10
pounds before killing lost 1913 per
cent; those averaging 90 pounds lost
o.8 per cent; those averaging IL pounds
lost 80 per cent; and those averaging
1874 pounds lost per cent.
The above statement taken from the
U. S. D. A. clip sheet should be of
interest to the many turkey growers
of this County. We would suggest that
turkey growers clip the item and post
it for further reference.

OF FERTlLlzING
SHOWN IN DISPLAY

A display of apples and alfalfa,
installed in the lobby of the post
office this week, is attracting the atten-
ton and interest of growers in the
district. The display was gathered and
installed by County Agent E. c.
Durdle and is intended to show the
results of various kinds of commercial
fertilizers in the alfalfa fields and
orchards. The proposition of a "bal-
anced commercial fertilizer ration"
for the soils in this county is still
in the experimental stage and these
samples of hay and fruit taken from
test plots where the various types Of
fertilizer were used are Therefore in
teresting. The display is being shown
at the different towns in the county.
Next week it will be taken to Han
ford, Mr.. Durdle said.

SAVE YOUR BEST TURKEYS
FOR NEXT YEAR

Those who attended the turkey meet
ing held last year and at which M.
L. p. Cline of Nevada was the prin-
cipal speaker, will probably rernem-
BET Mr.. Cline's instructions in regard
to selection of breeders. for those
hoping to stay in the turkey game.
For fear some may have forgotten
and for the benefit of new turkey pro-
ducers and also because many turkey
producers find it difficult to hold
back the best, We are going to again
caution producers in regard to this.
At the time one is selecting birds
for the market for the Thanksgiving
trade one should select the birds which
have reached the best condition of
flesh, best development of bone and
come as near the ideal type for the
breed as you can find, for the breed
ing flock. In other words the very
best birds of the flock at the time
the Thanksgiving birds are being Sc
lected should be the ones to be mark
ed and Set aside for the continuation
of the Flock for another year. These
birds are the ones which should pass
or to next years flock the same char
acteristics, and if this is done one
should have, in few years time,
flocks which will be producing quite
large percentage of birds which are
heavy enough to make the market re-
quirements at Thanksgiving time.

OLDTIMERS TO TRADE FARM
FOR COAST PROPERTY

c. A. Whitney is working on a
deal to trade his farm land at White
Bluffs to C. w. Arnquist of Tacoma
for property in Tacoma. The deal is
being handled by L. E. Paskill, also
OF Tacoma, who was here last Satur-
day with Mr.. Arnquist having the
transfer papers made out. If the deal
goes through, Mr.. and Mrs. Whitney
are planning to move to California
where Mr.. Whitney has a position
awaitig him in cold storage plant.
The Whitneys have been residents of
White Bluffs since the beginning Of
irrigation in the valley and have many
friends here who will regret to have
them leave.
Mr.. Paskill says he is the repre-
sentative in this state of John A.
Willis Company and Maurice Lowe,
fruit exporters of Liverpool, London,
Rotterdam, Hamburg and Glasgow,
and hopes, if Mr.. Arnquist acquires
the Whitney property, to handle
some of the export apples from this
valley next year.
