Church Social Interesting

Amusing contests galore feat ured the M. E. church benefit in Pioneer Hall last Saturday evening and proved decidedly diverting to a good sized gath ering.
 The entertainment fully sub- stantiated the claim of the sponsors that there would be ample amusement for even the most exacting and was also 8 success financially.
 The program of Advertisements ranged from the ancient but ever-popular fish pond to a bean-guessing contest and a "turkey-walk," in which the contestants enedavored to walk blindfolded to a designated mark. The latter contest, with a turkey as prize, was won by E. D. Haddon, while H. w. Thomas carried off the honors in the bean-guessing contest. Hot dog sandwiches, and a variety of confections were sold and proved popular offerings.

As indicated by the table, J. K. Green, local candidate for the legislature, has lead of 1,280 over his nearest republi- can opponent, Winn, and is an assured winner, as the tabulat- ion represents virtually com plete returns of this division.
 The same tale of overwhelm- ing democratic majorities is re- peated in the reports from the Second, Third and Fourth Di- visions and the present outlook is that every new member of the Territorial senate will be democrat. The house repre- sentatives of the First division will be democrats, as will also be those of the Third division. One democrat and three repub- licans will join the house from the Second division and the Fourth division has returned three democrats and one re- publican.

GOOD PROGRESS IN
 RED CROSS ENROLMENT

The local enrolment of Red Cross members in connection with the annual Roll Call is proceeding successfully under the leadership of Mrs. o. F. Hill, acting representative of the Ketchikan Red Cross chap ter, who is being assisted by U. s. Commissioner Chas. F. Sandford.
 Although conditions here are far from favorable for exten- SiVe enrolment, a considerable number of residents have eX- pressed their appreciation of the Red Cross efforts to relieve the local unemployment situa- ton by taking out annual memberships, the cost of which is S1, while several have con- tributed larger sums, thereby increasing substantially the fund which will be held to the credit of Hyder for future re- lief work in this district.
 A list of those contributing to the Roll Call will be made public at the conclusion of the enrolment period Thanks giving Day.

SEES SMALL HOPE FOR
 B. (. SILVER ACTIVITY

Commenting on a recent rise of Selukwe Gold Mining and Finance Company shares on the London market, The Min ing World and Engineering Record (London) says:
 Selukwe shares have recently been much more active. Sev- eral readers have thought the rise in price may have had ref erence to the B. c. Silver mines. Unfortunately, this is not so. That magnificent prop erty is still fallow, and seems likely to remain so until the crack of doom as no arrange ment can be made with the Premier.
 Selukwe shares are rising on gold prospects of Burma. The company has a large share holding in Kaufe, which enter prise has under control the promising Mwedaw gold area. On either side of this area are two promising gold proposit- ions which later on may be worked by the Shan States Sil- ver-Lead Corporation, which corporation has been financed by Selukwe. On these pros poets Selukwe shares have been in demand"

New Mail Hours Unsatisfactory

The early hour fixed for the departure of the weekly mail boat from Ketchikan is creat- ing considerable dissatisfact- ion in some quarters and may become the object of protest.
 Under the present schedule of the Moves Boat Company, the vessel arrives here some where around 5 a. m. and leaves on the return trip to Ketchikan shortly after 8 a. m. As the postoffice is legally closed until 9 a. m., outgoing mails are made up the night before and are dispatched as soon as the incoming mail is received at the postoffice. As a result it is impossible to ans wer a letter received on an in- coming mail until the follow ing week, as the vessel leaves before the incoming mail can be distributed.
 While such delays are not of particular importance to the general run of citizens it is very inconvenient to business firms and others having business cor respondence requiring immed- fate replies.

STEWART MAN HELD
 FOR DYNAMITING CABIN

Joe MesSaraba, Italian resi- dent of Stewart, was arrested there Monday as the alleged perpetrator of a dynamite eX- ploeion which severely dam aged the residence of an Ital- ian woman known as M oily MichaeliZZi shortly after mid night last Sunday.
 The explosion broke several windows in the rear of the two- room cabin, situated on Third avenue, and also partially de- stroyed the brick chimney, but inflicted no injuries on the inmates, who included at the time the Michaelizzi woman and several male and female guests, who were participating in a dinner in the front end of the building in celebration of her birthday.
 Messaraba's s alleged connect ion with the explosion was es- abolished through the discov- cry of footprints in the snow leading from his cabin to that of the Michaelizzi woman and back again. The footprints were discovered by the male guests, who reported their find ings to Constable C. Potterton.
 Following an investigation by the constable which disclosed that still-wet boots found i'll Messaraba's cabin, where he was in bed, fitted exactly the footprints in the snow, Mesa raba was taken into custody. Questioned by the constable, Messaraba vehemently denied all knowledge of the explosion.
 Taken before Stipendary Magistrate Ii. w. Dodd, the accused man maintained his in- nocence but the evidence was strongly against him and he was ordered held for trial be- fore the district court at Prince Rupert.
 Rupert and was taken there Thursday by Constable Potter ton.
 From all that could be learned of the matter it ap- pears that Messaraba has dis played indications of jealousy over the woman and this is be- lieved by the authorities to have been q motive for the al legged act.
 Since the hearing in Stewart if has been unofficially report ed that Messaraba before leav- ing for Rupert confessed to the police that he had thrown stick of dynamite under the cabin.

ORE CONCENTRATOR AT
 STEWART IS PROPOSED

Plans for the establishment of an ore concentrating plant in the Bear river district during the coming year are receiving serious attention in Stewart as result of the success attainto |rby small operating groups or partnerships working on leased mining ground during the present and past seasons. Local interests, which are said to have given the subject careful study and consider ation, have formulated definite plans for assembling a small customs concentrator at a cent ral point in the district, in the belief that such a plant, by re- ducing transportation 9 Il d smelling costs, will enable small operators to mine and market a lower grade product than is possible under present conditions, and at the same time open new possibilities for the development of ore bodies | which cannot be worked prof itably where the raw ores are shipped to the shelter with ut concentration.
 It is estimated that there are at least fifteen properties 'n the Bear river area which could make profitable ship ments of concentrates, even in the present depressed state f the metal markets.
 Early readers of the Herald will recall that an identical project for the Hyder district was advocated by this paper over a long period, but failed to receive support from local mining interests, most of which at that time were concerned on- ly with stock flotations and prospective large scale oper- ations or were merely desirouS of finding some one to hand them a small fortune for a few undeveloped claims.
 In various articles on the su5- ject it was pointed out that with an abundance of high grade and easily accessible ores which could be mined by surface or open cut operations, and with a customs mill to re- duce the product, there was every reason to believe that several hundred men could find profitable employment as independent small operators.
 These possibilities are sr,ll here, and that they are prac- tical is being proven in the Stewart section, now that hard times are forcing a deflatior of big ideas and an increase of initiative, and the Herald still holds to it's opinion that the | Hyder district should be one of , the best "poor-man's' camps in the North if the proposa
 were followed.
 As a representative of the Stewart project expresses it there is no question that the ore

SEARCH FOR ''LOVE
 MATE" 0F SUICIDE
 SHIFTS, SACRAMENTO

HOLLYWOOD, Sept, 13, The possibility that Dorothy Millette, the mysterious woman in the Paul Bern alleged love-life and recent suicide, is alive and in Sacramento was made public Monday when it was learned that an attractive wo- man made complete change of clothing in a seaside booth, leaving her other garments, all excellent quality, behind. Police are check ing details.
