ANNOUNCING
The Completion and Opening
Of The New
TEXAS CREEK
HIGHWAY
Built by the U. S. Government at a cost
of nearly a half million dollars, with the
express object of opening this new and
■
remarkably mineralized portion of the
Hyder, Alaska section of the Portland
Canal Mining District to development
and exploitation.
Gold, Silver, Copper and Lead Ores
abound in this wonderful mineral region and
offer excellent oppotunities for profitable mining
investment under the economical transportation
conditions provided by the splendid, new 12
mile highway traversing the Texas creek valley
from end to end.
In addition to opening this rich mineral region
to mining endeavor, the Texas Creek Highway
offers a scenic excursion of matchless mountain
scenery, and the most remarkable glacier vistas
in the world.
For information relative to the mineral resources ot the
Hyder District and other data, address the
