W. J. Crawford of Stewart
left Monday evening enroute to
the Cariboo country.
The Coastwise steamer Griff
co landed a consignment of
coal for the Hyder Dock Comp
any Monday evening.
Some subscribers want to
know why we do not use big
type heads in the Herald. They
think it would look “newsier.”
So do we; but the paper is
small and we believe in filling
all the available space with
newi rather than with big
headlines. The customers sure
ly get more for their money
that way.
Jack Fitzgerald, well known
mining man, returned Monday
from an extended visit in the
south.
Mr. Fitzgerald is understood
to be contemplating a 'trip into
the little explored country ly
ing to the north and northeast
of Stewart to examine some po
tential placer gold fields. He
will be accompanied by his
bi Jther, S. P. Fitzgerald, and
Gu?. Erickson.
Larry Thornton and Hans
Bunzel, who have been work
ing most of the winter on the
Marietta group on Texas creek,
in which Mr. Thornton is a
part owner, returned to town
this week after completing 290
additional feet of ice tunnel in
their search for the rich gold
lead believed to lie under the
great glacier overlapping the
ground.
Says New Pioneer Heme
Should Be Deferred
The Pioneers’ Home Build
ing Commission, composed of
Governor Parks, Wm. A. Hes
se, Territorial Highway Engin
err, and Theodore Kittelson,
superintendent of the present
Pioneers’ Home, in a report to
the Alaska Legislature, reeom
mended the retention of the
Sitka institution and favored
deferring construction of a new
home for aged pioneers for at
least two years. Funds avail
able at present are not suffic
t» build an adequate new
home, the report said. A new
institution should have accom
modations for 150 men and 50
women, it was said, and would
cost in the neighborhood of
$300,000.
Churck Holds Silver Tea
A silver tea, given Wednes
day in the Provinse store un
der the auspices of the Hyder
M. E. Church.proved an at
tractive offering and realized a
substantial return for the
church. A sale of bakery
and confectionary products
was an added attraction and
gave many of our local Mr.
Batch’s a chance to enjoy
home-baked pies, cake3 and
other confections prepared by
the camp’s ablest culinary ex
perts.

Commenting cn the local
church situation, “The New
Outlook,” a religious publicat
ion, of Toronto, Ont., says un
der the above caption:
“With a church in British Col
umbia and a church and par
sonage in Alaska, Rev. Frank
Bushfield can claim to be
working out church unity on an
international scale and soon
will be able to report on -his
first years’ experience of serv
ing two congregations in two
countries and two denominat
ions at the same time. Stewart,
British Columbia, and Hyder,
Alaska, are the centers of his
work among the mining popu
lation. One congregation wor
ships in the United Church of
Canada at Stewart. The church
and parsonage at Hyder are
the property of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, U. S. A.
“Mr.Bushfield himself belongs
to the Prince Rupert Presby
tery of the United Church of
Canada. He is a graduate of
Victoria College, Toronto, and
served formerly in Alberta and
as city missionary in Vancouv
er. The Premier mine, which \
ships its ore from the pit!
mouth in Canada, makes it nec
essary that Some of their work-;
men, who are mostly former
Canadian?, to live in Hyder.”
The United Church Record
and Missionary Review, of Tor
onto, in its March number, also
prints an interesting article by
Dr. Bushfield, in which he de
scribed local church condit
ions, in addition to presenting
a vivid description of the local
scenery and mines.
