HYDER LUMBER CO.
CALDWELL SAYS
BIG MISSOURI
WORLD BEATER
(Continued from Page 1)
ablest and most competent practi
cal mining men of the great north
west. By his oourage and opti
mism he induced Mr. Trites, one of
the owners of the Premier, to fur
nish him the men and money until
he had disproved the reports made
by Bancroft, another mining engi
neer. The large rich ore shoots ex
posed on the surface of the Big
Missouri are the largest and rich
est in gold and silver ever seen and
known in the world. Bancroft said
they did not go down, but by How
son’s efforts a shaft has now been
sunk on one of the drill holes run
by Bancroft, showing ore bodies
of fabulous richness in both gold
and silver, and it is right and fair
to say the Big Missouri will proye
to be a greater mine than the Pre
mier, and can give work to five;
thousand men that yield a net
profit of $200 a day to the man.
I believe the time is at hand
when every citizen of Stewart and
Hyder should stand boldly forth in
declaring the truth, that this sec
tion of Alaska and British Colum
bia contains the greatest and rich
est gold and silver mines of the j
world, with water power and abun- j
dance of timber, and that Stewart j
will be one of the richest cities of
B. C., and Hyder-the most populous
and richest city of Alaska, an in- ■
ternational shipping port where all!
the American and British north- j
bound steamers will make regular
landings in carrying mining sup-'
plies and passengers and taking out j
ore tonnage.

discovery of pay on the benches of
the Chatinika river about sixteen

There has been some staking as a

not assumed the proportions of a
stampede. It is said the dirt runs
forty cents to the bucket.
