INDEPENDENCE CO.
 TO BE REORGANIZED

Word comes from the south that the Independence Gold Mining Company, owner of the we'll known Independence group, a short distance north of Stewart, is to be reorgan- ized. At a recent directors meeting in Vancouver it was decided that a new company should be formed with a stock capitalization of 3,000,000 shares of common stock. Shareholders of the present Independence company will be given one share of the new stock for two shares of the old, which will absorb 100000 shares of the new company, leaving 1,800,000 shares in the treasury for future financing of development, which it is an- ticipated will be started in the near future.
 The new company will start free of all indebtedness, and with every liklihood of success full operation, owing to the e.1- tensive and highly promising development already complet- ed.
 In press statement, s. P. Fitzgerald, president of the h. dependence Gold Mining Con- pany, strongly advises share holders to hold their stock, rather than sacrifice it at pre- sent price levels.

WHEELER CLAIMS CAN
 WIN SILVER FIGHT

That a victorious end for the long battle for silver remoneti- zation can be won in the com ing session of Congress ifweSt- ern senators will stand up and fight was claimed by Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana in a recent statement.
 'I can win at the next session if senators from the west, the senators who should by all req sons be for my measure, will stand up and fight" Senator Wheeler said.
 Continuing, the Montana silver champion, who came within six votes of having his 16 to 1 silver remonetization measure adopted in the lass session, declared that the in- evitable result of the adoption of his silver remonetization plan would be to double the primary money of the world and this in turn would double the business of the world and also double the credits that can be issued
 Tt seems evident that the in- crease of currency by the re- monetization of silver would quadruple the purchasing pow wer of the silver using count ries, and that would put mil lions of people at work in the United States" the Senator said.

.Staich Remains Not Located.

Efforts to locate the body of Rede Staich, Stewart resi- dent, who was drowned in Bear River Nov. 16, were un- successful and hope of their early recovery has now been virtually abandoned.
 It is believed in Stewart that the high water in Bear River has carried the remains into Portland Canal, where the low temperature of the water and silt combine to prevent cadavers rising to the surface for at least lengthy periods and generally not at all.

William Ruble Hull, veteran northern newspaper man and editor of Hyder's first news paper publication, The Hyder Alaska Miner, passed away last week at the Marpole Home for Incurables near Vancouver, according to- word received in Stewart. MT. Hulls death eliminated more than three years of suffering from the effects of an apoplectic stroke sustained three years ago while he was news editor of the Stewart News, with which he had been associated since 1922. He was about 60 years of age and is survived by a widow who resides in Van couver.

School Children Give
 Fine Entertainment

One of the cleverest juvenile entertainments ever witnessed in Hyder was presented We'd nesday afternoon in the school house by the pupils of the Fly der public school under the direction of Mrs. Charlotte Whitford, teacher in charge.
 The program included a Pageant of Nations, several playlets, recitatons, songs and gymnastic exercises, in which the young actors and actresses acquitted themselves most ad- mirably, and in most instances with the aplomb of veteran thespians.
 The performance was keenly enjoyed by a considerable gathering of citizens who are unreserved in their praise of the youthful entertainers.

Silver Conference Did
 Not Favor Remonetization

Details of the silver confer ence, called by Senator Thom- as and others in Washington November IT, disclose that re- mcnetization of silver at a fixed parity with gold had no part in the discussion which was described as "a closed ses- sion" in which Senator Pittman who advocates only an in- creased price for silver for the benefit of the silver industry, and Senators Thomas of Okla homa, and Smith of South Car olina, both "greenback infla- tionists," were the principal figures.
 Owing possibly to the "star chamber" character of the meeting, the reports so far re- eived give few details of the proceedings. Senator Pittman apparently dominated the ses- sion and did most of the talk ing. Pittman who appears to have become a close advisor of President Roosevelt on silver matters, asserted that the pres ident has under consideration various plans to accomplish "price rehabilitation" of the metal. One plan he had sub- mitted to the president ''is the opening of the hints to the coinage of the silver produced in the United States" he said.
 The prediction was made that President Roosevelt will act for the restoration of silver," and there was also a call for imitation through the issuance Of paper currency backed by silver, the latter one of Pitt mans "pet" proposals, but apparently nothing was said relative to placing silver on a definite parity with gold.

WOULD GIVE FIRST
 DIVISION TO CANADA

If Congress will not give them what they consider "fair fisheries laws" the Indians of Southeastern Alaska stand for giving the Southeast Alaska district to Canada. This is the declaration of a resolution adopted at the annual conven- of the Alaska Native Brother hood, held in Juneau a few days ago, according to the Juneau Empire.
 The Empire states that the resolution was introduced by Louis F. Paul, one of the or ganization leaders, and re- cites that for the past 20 years the natives of Southeastern Alaska have employed "every lawful means" to induce the federal government to pass flair and reasonable fishing laws"; that during this time the natives have remained loyal citizens with a firm faith in the justice and fair ness of the government; that during all these times the officials of the United States have not made one single move either to give these natives a fair hearing nor has the gov ernment changed a single fish regulation to make the burden of these natives lighter;;" that "wishing to call stronger at tention to the virtual starvation with which these natives are faced. we, the representatives of these said natives. pray the Congress of the United States either to give these natives fair fishery laws so that they can earn their own living or else that the said government transfer the so-called Panhand- le of Alaska to the Canadian government with whose fish cry laws we are familiar and with which we are satisfied and which government seems to be conducted. at least on the question of fisheries, with a purpose to benefit its own citi- zens and residents, instead of the immense corporations which now rule and virtually own the Panhandle of Alaska. "
 ''In other words," the reso- lution continues, i've, the nat ives of Alaska, would rather be ruled by the Canadian govern ment than by the brutal and heartless corporations which now virtually exercise the power of life and death over us Our wives and children, and we maintain that Congress has no right to neglect means for our relief or this petition"
