CANADA APPROVES
 SILVER AGREEMENT

The world silver agreement adopted at the London Confer ence last summer as a move to stabilize the price of that metal was approved Tuesday by the Canadian House of Commons without record vote, accord ing to Ottawa reports.
 The agreement provides that Canada, with the United States Mexico, Peru and Australia, shall withdraw from the world market 35 million fine ounces of silver and refrain from de- passing their currencies.
 Canada's share of the with drawal would be 1,671, ,820 ounces, but no steps were taken to purchase this from Canadian mines, the report said.
 Canada is the fifth nation to ratify the London agreement; India, Australia, Mexico and the United States having prev iously approved the pact.
 A resolution introduced in the House of Commons Monday by Thomas Reid, liberal, of New Westminster, asked the government to take immediate steps to adopt silver in addi- ton to gold for the issuance of currency, either in the form of paper certificates or as coin age, and that silver be recog- nized and accepted as legal tender by the Dominion of Can ada at a fixed ratio to that of gold. Action on the resolution has not been reported.

The second quarterly meeting of the Hyder Public Library board was held in the library building Friday evening. The session disclosed that the af- fairs of the corporation are ill good shape and patronage is we'll maintained in spite of un- favorable conditions. Chas. F.

Smith and resulted in a suspension of the rule retiring one member each quarter and the retention of the committee intact for the coming quarterly period.

C. w. A. To Employ 2,O0O

About 2,000 Alaska residents will be given relief employ ment under the new CWA work plans instituted under the recent $950,000,000 ap- propriation by Congress, ac- cording to information received at the governors office.
 As in the case of the former program, the new plans aim to give employment to those per- lons who are most in need and who are entitled to relief. The work is to be gradually dis continued as industry absorbs the surplus labor and the need for relief diminishes.
 The work will continue un- til May 1, but reductions will be in order after April 15. The decrease in working hours from 30 to 20 a week is one of the principal changes in the new plan; which also prohib- it's staggering of work and the employment of more than one person in a family.

Fisherman To Curtail
 Catch Of Halibut

Higher prices and a more extended fishing season are contemplated by an agreement entered into by Alaska halibut fisherman to voluntarily curtail their catch during the season commencing March 1.
 Each vessel on the westward banks is allowed to take 4,0O0 pounds for each man on the boat each trip. In the South western Alaska areas the catch is limited to $500 pounds per man and to 5000 pounds in the Seattle district. An opening figure of about 12 to 15 cents is anticipated.

GOOD PROGRESS AT
 THE UNITED EMPIRE

Tunnel driving at the United Empire property is making rapid progress, now that power is being supplied to the mine from the plant of the Northern B. c. Power Corporation in Stewart, according to reports from the latter center.
 The tunnel is being driven to cut six veins and will be ap- proXimately 1,600 feet in length by the time it reaches its last objective.
 Two veins about 12 feet in width and carrying a fine grade of ore have been en- countered in the workings. These veins apparently meet a short distance beyond the present workings and promise very large ore body, the re- ports say.
 All indications are said to point to the property becoming a valuable producer.

Commerce Dept. Opposing
 Fisheries Transfer Bill

Hearings on Delegate Di- mond's bill to transfer control of Alaska's fisheries from the federal to the Territorial gov ernment have been set for March 15 before the House committee on Merchant Marine Radio and Fisheries, according to a report from the Delegates office in Washington.
 The Department of Commerce is said to be oposing the bill and has already reported ad- versely to the committee on the measure.
 As a result, the Delegate is confronted with the task of convincing the committee that arguments in favor of his home rule legislation are more weighty than the opposing ones of the department.

Bill Would Halt Waste Of Fish

A. J. Dimond, Alaska's re- markedly energetic and re- sourceful delegate to Congress, has introduced a bill making unlawful the wasting or de- struction of salmon and other Alaska food-fish.
 The bill strikes at a long pre- valent evil which threatens great future damage if not eradicated, the increasing util- ization of fish for other than food purposes, and particular ly for fertilizer and oil.
 The measure would permit only fish Ioffal, waste material, to be used for producing those products.

Premier Widens Charter Scope

The Premier Gold Mining Company has enlarged the scope of the corporate activi- ties by the action of sharehold- CTS in approving at a recent meeting a motion to allow the company to hold shares in oth- CT companies, according to re- ports from Vancouver.
 Heretofore it has been simp- ly a mining company. The authorization was said to have become necessary owing to the company having recently ac- quired shares in companies in Ontario, Africa and Australia.

Repeal Bill Passes Senate

Three bills providing for re- peal of prohibition in Alaska, Hawaii and other U. s. posses sions have passed the Senate, Washington reports say.
 The measures were called up out of order to permit the ter ritories to gain revenue, where they were badly needed, ac- cording to their sponsors.

COMMITTEE FAVORS
 LABOR SUSPENSION

The Senate committee on mines has reported favorably the measure providing for sus- pension of annual assessment work on mining claims for the year ending July 1, 1884, ac- cording to Washington, D. C., reports.
 The bill as approved would require holders of mining claims to perform the usual $100 worth of work unless they are exempt from the payment Of income tax for the year 1883.
 Those who are not required to pay income tax will be ex- empted from assessment work provided they file in the office where their location notice is recorded a notice of their de- ire to hold the location.
 This notice must be filed prior to noon July 1, 1884.
 The measure provides further that in no case may a person obtain exemption on more than six claims, nor can a partner ship or corporation claim ex- emption on more than a dozen claims.

DANIEL MCDONALD
 DIES ON TRAIL

Daniel Mcdonald, diamond drill worker, an employee of the Connors Diamond Drill Company, was found dead on the Big Missouri trail late Tues day morning.
 The remains were discovered by Gabe Olson, who was en- gagged in fixing the telephone line to the Big Missouri mine, to which point Mcdonald was enroute when overcome by all attack of heart failure.
 Olson had climbed tree to fix the attached telephone wires and from that vantage point observed a peculiar look ing object lying on the snow some 50 yards or So off the trail at a point about three quarters of a mile from the Big Missouri camp. He inves- tigated and found it to be the body of the deceased. As the remains lay off the trail, but for Olson having climbed the tree it is probable that they would speedily have been cov- cred by snow and would not have been found until spring.
 An inquiry held by Constable Potterton and Coroner Ves- burgh developed that McDon- aid had arrived here about week ago from the south to as- sist in the recently instituted diamond drill work at the Big Missouri. He left the Premier mine at 10:40 p. m. Monday evening and apparently sue cumbed about 2 a. m. Tuesday morning. An autopsy dis closed that death was due to heart attack.
 MT. Mcdonald was no strang- CT to the district, having been here for some time several years ago on diamond drill work, and was known to many local residents.
 The deceased was a native of Nova Scotia and aged 45 years He is survived by a sister who resides at Munroe Point, Vic toria county, Nova Scotia, where the deceased was born.
 The remains were brought to Stewart Thursday evening and are awaiting word from the sister as to their disposal.
