HYDER, ALASKA, April 2, 1920
GRANBY MINE MOVED?
Seattle residents are warned to
w atch out for a raving lunatic who
calls himself a newspaperman and
who perpetrated the following:
Three Seattle made planes
will inaugurate an aerial trans
port atjon service from the Gran
by milte 12 miles in the interior
to Stewart City, on Portland
canal, according to negotiations
being completed between the
Boeing Aerial company andtbfe
Granby Mining oompany,
The planes will carry 1,000
pounds of silver ore on each
trip.. It is proposed to furnish
quick transportation for the ore
in this manner.
This will be the first case on
record where aircraft will be
employed to carry commercial
ore. If the plans prove suc
cessful it is expected that the
seavice will be extended The
company has bgap assured
that landing places can be se
cured at both ends.
This piece of utter nonsence
was sent out from the City of Hys
teria as telegraphic news, and we
are ashamed to say that a number
of Alaskan papers ‘‘played it up
strong.’’ It seems unbelievable that
anyone could be so ignorant as not
to know that the famoBs Granby
{nine and smelter aro both at Anyox
B.C., and that any northwestern
newspaper should be so gullible as
to give publicity to such rot.
There is some talk of a hydro
plane being brought up to make
trips between the head of Portland
capal and Long lake. How the
urometers of the scheme expect to
make money out of it, God alone
knows. They will certainly not
carry ore.
The government has given per
mission to all who wish, to chase in
to the so-called oil fields of Alaska
and make damphools of themselves.
Many are taking advantage of the
oppostunity.
The Alaska Daily Capital, pub
lished daily and Sunday at Juneau,
by the Alaska Publishing Company,
is Alaeka’s newest newspaper. It
contains eight pages of breezy read
ing matter and live ads. This is
Charles E.Herron s new venture and
certainly looks like a winner. J.W.
Ward is manager.
:
There is a large number of che
chacos who are eligible for mem
bership in the No Brains Club. 7 hey
some into a new mining camp ex
pecting to find a ready-made city
with silver bricks for paving. Seme
of these misfits are already here.
The soooer they quit their yapj ing
and settle down to become useful
members of the community, or dse
beat it back to the land of n »ise,
stinks, cents and lies, the bette for
fhemselvet and the camp,
