FIVE DOLLARS A YEAR
Republican
Landslide
One of the most sweeping victor
ies in the history of the Republican
party was recorded tor Senator
Warren G. Harding for president
r d for a Republican congress.
Unofficial returns presage one of
the largest electoral college majori
ties since 1888 with the exception
of the vote of 435 foF President
Wilson in 1912. Twelve Republi
can victories have been extended
to governors and state lesislatures
and other state officers.
The Republican congressional
majority has been strongly increas
ed in both houses.
The first trial of women suffrage
contributed largely to Republican
success. The count of votes was
delayed in many states owing to
the millions of women’s ballots
which swelled the popular vote be
yond all records.
Norman R. Walker, Democrat,
was given the largest vote ever
polled for any candidate in Ketchi
kan, receiving 686 votes for repre
sentative. However, he was snow«
ed under by the landslide which
elected every Republican dandidate
in Alaska.

instances, Cash Cole, for instance,
receiving some Democratic votes,
while both George Grigsby and
Jtrry Murphy took toll from the
Republican sanke. Results were

B. C. Politics
Warming Up
The political pot is boiling on the
B. C. side of the line, an election
having been oiled for Dec. 1. Three
candidates v. ho call Stewart their
h >me have entered the race, 0. B.
Bush with the present Liberal gov
ernment behind him, W. C. Ross as
standard bearer for the Conserva
tives and Pat Daly on an Indepen
dent Labor ticket. It is probable
thtlt a convention will be held at
AnyoK, and as that camp has a
much larger number of voters than
Stewart, candidates from there may
be selected. In any event Pat
Daly will make the race.
Politics in Canada presents a con
undrum to residents of the States
until they get onto the ropes, thers
being no regular time for elections
but the party in power "going tc
the people" whenever they think
they have an extra good chance ol
being returned. In the legislature
if a bill introduced by the govern
ment is defeated, the government
ceases to exist and an election must
be held.

Lee Balch has dug up a barrel of
olqe-rock pidgeons and a trap, and
a tryout given the outfit shows that
it woras perfectly. He has also
sent for a bnnch of turkeys and
500 rounds of ammunition and has
laid plans for a turkey-shoot on the
21st wh.cn will be one of the lead
ing sporting events of the year and
will undoubtedly result in a gun
club being formed here and anotbea
in £ tewart, both towns having a
number of shotgun artists who may
be depended upon to take up the
sport with a keen zest.
Calling to memory the Hyder ex
perts who will probably shine at
the traps, the following names loom
large; Jack Adkins, Walter Blan
ton, Lee Balch, Fred Dorey, Bert
Edmunds, George Flawn, J. A.Hall,
Hank Hucke,, Norman McLeod,
Billy Orr, Scotty Patterson, Frank
Reichenbach, Jack Sutherland and
Noel and Charlie T»ave*sy. With
out doubt there are others, but this
aggregation alone is enough to make
other clubs look to their lauFeJs
when the first inter-club trap meet
is held.

j Power Co. Defendant. )
To Hyder Water, Light and Power Co,
the above named defendant,
Greeting:
Prospectors who have returned
recently from Georgia river have
brought splendid samples of gold
ore. Several men spent part of
the season in that section and all
think well of it. This part of the
district received some attention a
few years ago and several proper
ties were staked. But only on one
group was much development un
destaken, and only assessment wag
done this year.
They are owned by the Georgia River
Mining Company and are under the
management of C. H. Dickie, of Dun
can, B. C. They are situated about,
nine miles up the Georgia river, on
the west bank, along which a trail hat
been constructed for about four mile t
from the canal, on a grade of about 7
per cent. Georgia river flows into
Portland canal about seventeen mi.ef.
south of Stewart, at the head. Acce 4
to the property at present is from r,
point about eight miles from Stewart,
from which the summit of the first
raugq, 4,000 feet elevation, is reached
in three miles, thence dropping 1,000
feet in another mile to the camp.
There are several veins cropping . p
the surface, but a!i development ha t
been concentrated in the Bullion tun.
nel, which is at an elevation of 3,450
feet. It has been driven on the vein
for 390 feet, of which 132 feet is in ore
which varies in width from 4 to 1:]
inches. The ore-shoot has been fur
ther proven by p r-.'ise of 35 fee
through to the surface, from wu if
bonanza ore was taken, an<l a further
depth of 32 feet by winze from the
bottom of the tunnel, The more oi>
less sorted ore on the dump taken
from the tunnel averages $47 a top in
gold.
The "Big Showing” on the property
is a quartz vein outcropping at inter:
vals £or a length of 1,20Q to 1,500 feet.
It varies from 10 to 20 feet in width
and strikes about N .50 degrees \V.,
intersecting the vein on which the tun
nel has been driven at an angle of be
tween 20 and 25 degrees. Thq inter,
section of the veins is not apparent in
the tunnel, but should be found with
little difficulty, from which point the
big vein could be drifted on, securing
a depth of 300 feet under its surface
exposure, the government engineer
says. An average sample across IS
feet on the surface gave assay returns
of $22 a ton in gold ^private report)
A small milling plant is planned bv
the company, with the improvement of
transp'.rtatipn facilities. TJie numer
ous hi h-grade quartz-len >es occuring
in the argillites sln.ind ie tempting to
the lc.iser when milling is available
The region farther up the river has
had iitile or no prospecting,
In tfco name of the United States of
A merino you are hereby commanded to
be and appear in the above entitled court
held in said Precinct, and answer the
complaint filed against you in the above
entitled action, within thirty days fronj
the completion of the p.riod of the publi
