RYDER, ALASKA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, le3l
Alaska Seen as Vital
 Military Spot in Pacific

Aviation squadrons at Fair banks and Seward; a coaling station at Seward, supplied by the Alaska Railway, and the connection of Seattle with Fairbanks through British Col umbia by an automibile high way are the hopes and rec concentrations of E. w. Saw yer, member of the Alaska Yukon-Pacific Highway Com mission, made at Washington yesterday when he explained a special map published by the commission.
 This map, which is Great Circle projection, centers around Fairbanks and picture: Alaska as the dominan, strategic point of the Pacific Ocean for military purposes.
 MT. Sawyer pointed out that steamship travel from San Francisco to Manila would be shorter by 400 miles if routed via Alaska instead of Hawaii, the distance being 7,300 miles Oil the northern route as com pared with 7,70O on the south eIn.
 The map shows the tentative route of the proposed 2,O00- mile highway also recom- mended, and also gives the distances between Fairbanks and many of the worlds great cities.

This marks a noteworthy ifT- crease, not only over the pre- ceeding year but over any of the proceeding ten years. By far the largest amount appears 70 have come from the placer mines, which yielded about 57 per cent of the total, as against 43 per cent from the lpde mines. During the entire period that gold mining has been in progress in Alaska about $390- 000,000 has been won, of which almost exactly two thirds has come from placer deposits and one-third from lodes.
 It appears that about 80 per cent of the placer gold that was recovered in 1880 was mined by dredges; in 1929 the ratio was about Fl per cent So far as reported, 26 dredges were in operation during 1880, as against 30 in 1929.
 No new finds of placer ground that yielded any con- siderable amount of gold were made during the year. Prospecting for new deposits, however, appears to have been somewhat more active than il has been in the recent past.
 The bulk of the lode gold continued to come from the properties of the Alaska Jrn- eau Gold Mining Go. The operations were extremely sat isfactory, and during the year the bonded indebtedness on the property was paid up from the profits. Small amounts of lode gold were also recovered by two of the lode mines on Chicagof Island Reported finds of promising sulphide leads in the -Taku region were explored rather fully by both underground and surface work, but the results were not sufficiently encouraging to lead the larger mines to con tinue extensive work. There is no reason to believe that the search has yet been thorough ,enough to warrant a conclusion that the possibilities of find ing ore there are exhausted.

General industrial conditions similar to those of the United States and of practically all other countries of the world prevailed in Alaska in 1880 and are reflected in the de- creased value of it's mineral output. The prices paid for the mineral commodities other
 han gold were so abnormally !ow as compared with 1929 hat more than two million lollars of the decrease was due
 0 this cause alone. The low prices, however, had perhaps an even greater effect in de- 5erring development of mines whose ores cary principally the 5ase metals, so that their out put was either curtailed or al
 ogether stopped. Obviously his is a temporary condition hat will disappear in time, and there is nothing in the general condition of the Alaska mining industry to in Iicate a permanent decline. n fact, the statement says,
 he increased production of gold from the Territory ir 1880 in the face of the serious depression in so many of the nations industries is an en- couraging feature that gives assurance of still further growth as general conditions improve and capital and effort once more seek productive em- poyment. The growing educa- ton of peope to the really fov- orable conditions that prevail in Alaska constant improve ment in transportation facili- ties, the experience gained in past mining ventures, and the success of mining enterprises 1 throughout the Territory, al though diminishing the glam- our of Alaska, are all aiding 1 in removing handicaps that hampered development of several of it's basic industries, of which mining will long con- i tinue to be one of the most productive.
 The total production of gold from Alaska mines in 1880 Is
 estimated at S8,394,000, ui
 about two-thirds of a million
 dollars more than in 1929

DANIEL L|NDEBORG
 PASSES BEYOND

Daniel Lindeborg, pioneer
 settler of the Hyder district
 and the man who, more than
 any other, was responsible for
 the foundation of the town of
 Hyder, passed away in Van
 couver Tuesday, according to
 telegraphic advices received
 by local business associates.
 MT. Lindeborg was about 65
 years of age and is survived by
 one or more relatives, who re-
 side in Sweden, the land of
 his nativity.
 Mir. Lindeborg came to this country about the year 1885 at the age of 19 years and made his home in America continuous ly during the remaining years of his life. During the greater part of his career he was en- gagged in mining and it was this predilection which ult- mately resulted in his becoming settler in this district in 1903 or 1904. Aside from the know ledge that extensive minerali- zation existed here, little was known of the Hyder district at that time. After looking over the country, MT. Linde- borg and his brother, the late Andrew Lindeborg, decided to settle here. Later he took up as a homestead the 79 acre tract of land which comprises the present Lindeborg addition to the Hyder townsite. This was subsequently, taken over by the Hyder Townsite and Improvement Company, of which MT. Lindeborg and MT. J. A. Hall were the founders. He was also interested in the foundation of the Hyder Radio and Telephone Company and the Bank of Hyder, two of the towns most important insti- tutions. He also acquired by location some of the districts most important mineral prop critics, including the famous Big Missouri, the Riverside mine, the Forty-Nine, and others of lesser note. These he later disposed of at figures which yielded him a substan- tial fortune.
 MT. Lindeborg resided here until 1922, when he moved to Vancouver, where he made his home up to the time of his death.
 No information regarding the cause of MT. Lindeborg's demise had been received up to Friday afternoon. Death to have overtaken him suddenly, as he was known to be in good health up to a short time ago. Also nothing is known here regarding the fun eral arrangements.
 Deceased was a member of Hyder Igloo No. 20, Pioneers of Alaska and that organization has ordered floral wreath for the burial services and also has maintained the flag on Pioneer hall at half mast since receiving the news of his death.

BENNETT GOVERNMENT
 FAVORS CHINA LOAN

Plans or the new Cana0laN government for granting bil- lion loan to China, designed to reinstate the value of silver all through the Orient and finally to place China "on her feet " so completely that she will be- come a huge and profitable market for British, Canadian and American goods, were re- vealed by Hon. H. H. Bennett, Canadian Premier, at an ad- dress at Regina, Tuesday.
 Press accounts state that Premier Bennett merely hinted at the great plan, which has as one of it's objects the sale of 100,000,000 bushels of Can adian wheat in China. Accord ing to the announcement, Hon. Herbert R. Marler, head of Canada's embassy to the Ori ent, has been sent to China on what is described as "a great diplomatic and commercial mission" from which "it is entirely possible Canada vii. sell a hundred million bushels of her grain"
 MT. Bonnet the reports say did not attempt to outline the Every interesting and stupen dous plan which is now being discussed in London, New York, Washington and Ottawa for the rehabilitation of silvel and the general reorganiza tion of Oriental trade and mar kets.' Generally, the plan is tc call together the leading wai lords of China, and to endeav or to induce them to realize that every one would be in finitely better off if the Chin csc Armies were turned into industrial units, carrying ou great public works. If a semb fence of peace can be thus at tained, then Great Britain anG the United States would joint ly arrange loan of thou sand million dollars, to be spent in opening China by railways and highways and to supporting other schemes tc bring about an era of orderly civilization throughout the ma ton. The plan is said to have been worked out by Hon. Ii H. Stevens, Canada's minister of trade and commerce, whc has been a close student ot the silver question for severa years.
 MT. Stevens, since his return from the Imperial conference in London, where he was un able to bring the silver ques ton before the conference, but discussed it with various in fluential banking groups, ha, been invited to New York t. outline his plans to United States financiers, who are said to think so we'll of Ii that they are arranging foI further conferences.

C OF C, MOVES FOR
 ACTION ON RIVER

to relieve the local unemploy-
 ment situation and incidental l ly secure additional flood pro-
 lection relief for the town, was
 made Thursday by the Hyder k Chamber of Commerce with the dispatch of telegrams to
 Alaska delegate Dan. Suther- land, Territorial Auditor Cash l Cole, Governor George A. Parks and Highway Engineer
 Robt. J. Sommers requesting l their assistance in securing a
 Congressional appropriation for immediate flood protection
 work on Salmon river as an unemployment relief measure.
 The message to the delegate
 recites that 90 per cent of our workers are unemployed and
 in need of assistance and urges him to use his efforts toward securing an amendment to the Unemployment Emerge II y Construction Bill, now before
 Congress, providing for an i'm mediate substantial appropri- ation for river protection work along the lines of the improve ments made by the Territorial Highway Board and also those recommended by the War De- partment Engineering Board last year. The message points out that work done on the river in this connection will not be lost but will be in the nature of continuation of the work done by the Territory, and will also supplement the work contem- plated under the plans pre- pared for the War Department engineering board by Major Gillette.
 The telegram also advises the delegate that the absence of snow this winter will permit such work to be proceeded with immediately. Attention is also called to the recent act ion of the British Columbia government in appropriating S35,000 for river improvement work in Stewart this winter as an unemployment relief meas ure.
 The message to the Territor- ial officials is of the same ten or and urges their cooperation in securing the desired relief.
 Herald readers will recall that the Unemployment Elmer gency Construction Bill, passed recently by the House of Rep Iresentatives, provides unem- ployment relief appropriations !
 totaling $272,000 for public improvements at Ketchikan, Seward and Port Alexander, in
 Alaska. This measure is now in the Senate and Chamber of Commerce officials are hope ful that the Alaska delegate
 can have a local relief amend
 ment added in the upper
 house. The fact that a flood
 control survey of Salmon river
 has been strongly recommend
 ed by the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors will, it
 is believed, have a strong ef- feet toward securing the de-
 sired appropriation.
 Whatever the outcome, the l Chamber of Commerce is to be warmly commended for its eff
 fort to relieve the local unem- ployment situation, which is in every respect the worst in the
 history of the camp and will lead inevitably to much dis tress unless relief is speedily forthcoming. Owing to the de- cline in metal values during
