FIVE DOLLARS A YEAR
NEW ALASKA
TO BE PUT ON
STOCK MARKET
Satisfied with the results of the
development he has carried out on
tho New Alaska this fall, Pgt Daly
h is entered into a new agreement:
with the owners, Dan Davis, Wm.
McGrew and C-has. Knipple, and
will leave within the next few days
for New York City to secure the
capital necessary to place the prop*,
erty upon a permanent working ba-1
sis. a mission on which he antici* j
pates no difficulty.
The new deal involves the organ*
Ration of a stock company, with
provision made for the present own*
ers to retain a nominal control, be
side receiving substantial cash re
turns. The time given extends over
a period of two years, the limit be
ing set oy Mr. Daly, who is certain, j
considering the size and value of j
the ore exposures, that quick action
can be secured.
Though undoubtedly one of the
best properties of the Salmon val
ley, the New Alaska has had* var
, ;gated carreer, having been in var-1
ions h inds. In common with other |
properties that had not reached the
productive sta^e prior to the finan
ced panic, it has suffered from the
Tnabili y of those in control to . e
om - fu: ds for its development.
Now, h evet, all rep- rts from fi
nanced craters are to the effect
til u tile worst is over and chat the
country is rapidly returning to a
normal basis, with plenty of money
for legitimate mining.
The development on the New Al
aska this fall was done by Mr. Daly
Under the terms of a bond which
he took on the property ubon his
f ettirn from New York City. The
experience he gained as to ore oc
currances in this district during the
early stages of development on the
Premie . when he was in charge
there, .1 is satisfied him that the
New Alaska is destined to become
a great mine, rivalling, perhaps, the
Premier itself.

HOW 10 GET
HUE TO LOTS
OH RESERVE
Several enquiries have been re:
ceived from residents on the forest
reserve lots as to the steps ueces*
sary to qbtain title (a he property.
The following letter, received by
H. H, Howard from the Forest Ser
vice in Ketchikan, will be of gen
eral interest m this regpect
“No further Iransfers or assign
ments of lots will bt made by thp
Forest Service in Hyder in 1922
until notification of the approval
of the elimination uf the forest re
serve and its return to public do
main, is received.
“Parties holding bona fide per
mits from th» Fo'-est Service for
lots in Hyder, also of record in this
office, and for which the usual ren
tal fee is shown to be paid through
the year 192b can secure tide toj
same from the Land t’ffice. When!
the elimination is eff. ctive the res-|
idents of Hyder w 11 apply for town
site patent from the Interior De
partment, and at that tune title
may he secur .1 by individuals for
the lots, by the psyineut of a sma;
fee."

The difficulty between W. L. buh
and the Premier management has
been adjusted ;,and evergthing is
lovelj. Duff, it will be remembered,
was tried before Commissioner Reed
on a charge of malicious dtsauc
tion of property, for having inter
fered with the construction of a
tram tower situated on a claim of
which he is part owner. He was
bound over to the district couit
under bonds, which he furnished.
Right to cross the claim had tuen
given by his two partners, but Luff
did not sign the 'greement u> , in
view of ti act that owiars of
other claim;crossed by the tram
had been reimbursed, he also want
ed a cash sfcttlemr u This has now
been accorded and Dale L. Pitt, gen
eral manager of the Premier, who
went to Ketchikan to attend curt,
is said to have reco; mended a
withdrawal of the case.

When the Hyder number of the

price of 50 centg each was placed

meeting it was decided to ask 25
cents, (Canadian money) the As
sociation being- willing to stand the
slight loss on account of the benefit
the town will receive through these
papers being sent Outside, At this
j price there should be no difficulty

j ies. Every resident has friends Out

THE JPR9SPECTOR
(By Stampede John)j
Hope Springs eternal in his
breast. Jeered by the populace,
disparaged by the mighty, but
weakly supported even by his \
own brethren, he goes forth,
his boues are found by tha fever
laden streams of ihe Tropics;
they lie- bleaching upon the sands
of every <*sc: t, and buried deep
•neath everlasting polar snows.
Still unafraid, he goes forth,
and wit 1 him carries the destiny
of mankind. When comes the
time that his efforts fail, then ,
must our civilization, in <he'
brief span of a single generation, ’
become one with Nineyah and
Tyre,
He claims no compassion. He
makes no complaint. Enthralled,
he hath known the silent places.
‘‘Enraptured, he hath gathered
many a precious gem."

DOUBLE BILL AGAIN
AT MOVIE THEATRE
Another double bill is prewired
for the moving picture theatre neKt
Saturday night, with bo h shows
full of fun and human interest
“The Sins of St. Anthsny,” with
Bryant Washburn in the leading
role, depicts the trials and tribula
tions of a young scientist, who is
too slow to win the girl of his choice
but acquires speed and worldly
knowledge under the tuition of a
professional dancfer. The situations
in which he becomes involved are
excruciatingly funny—to everyone
except himself.
“Hen Peeks and Pecked Hens” is
a screaming farce founded upon
the vagaries of matrimonial biiss.
Be sure your buttons are sewed on
tight before you see .his picture.
Last Saturday night the theatre
was just about filled to the limit,
and this week’s program should
ring a repeater. The management
has been bending every effort to
secure the highest class productions
and to present them in a proper
manner. Evidently the public is
commencing to appreciate these
efforts.
