TEN YEARS OR so AGO
 From the Hyder Alaska Miner August 24, 1921.

centrates ever sent down Port land Canal went out on the Albert yesterday, consisting of 160 tons and currently re- ported to be worth between 1,500 and $2,000 a ton, which would make this cargo worth a quarter of a million dollars or more.
 The concentrates were the product from four Wilfley tables operating in the new Premier mill, which is now handling about 100 tons daily of the second grade ore. The tailings from the tables are being saved for future treat ment by eyaniding, the cyanide plant now practically complet- ed.
 Max Lepovatz has sold his interest in the Golden Gate Cigar Store to his partners, Nick Belyin and Marko Say ovich.
 About ten tons of ore from che Fish Creek Mining con- pany's property went out on he George Sunday. The trail up the mountain to the camp is now practically impossible for pack horses and no more heavy loads can be taken over it until it dries or freezes.

 E. B. Bartholf was down this week from the Outland Silver Bar and says that a trial shipment of 212 tons of $350 ore is sacked ready for pack ing across the Glacier to the trail at the Hercules property. An account of the present ex- cessive cost of transportation, it is not the intention, to ship any more ore until better fac ilities are valuable.
 George Mehlfield was down this week from the north fork of the Marmot, where he and his partner, Clay Porter, are working on their property. MT. Mehlfeld brought down some samples for assay, one showing almost solid steel galena, with a fine grain, and another con- taining steel galena and what appears to be iron oxide. The former went 9O2 ounces in as- says. They have taken 2 as says since starting their tun- nel and the average content per ton in silver has been 711O ounces. The average gold con- tent has been $2, with one sample running SIG.
