AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Tnis newspaper is not connect ed in any manner with any
Block brokerage firm or other establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
lormation relative to local min ing development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
A New Pain Killer
What is declared to be one
of the three outstanding me
dical discoveries of the past
decade is a new antiseptic,
said to be 70 times as effective
as carbolic acid, yet so in
nocuous that “a baby could
drink all its stomach would
hold and be unharmed.”
The new product, which is
a pain reliever as well as an
antiseptic, was discovered by
Dr. Zeander Leonard of John
Hopkins University, and is de
scribed as a synthetic organic
chemical having its origin in
the glands of a goat.
The fact that announcement
of the new discovery comes
from such a trustworthy source
indicates that it may prove to
be a most valuable contribu
tion to the relief of suffering
humanity.
o
Silver Will Not Down
Vancouver Sun
A world conference to es
tablish and maintain silver
values. That is the request of
the international chambers :f
commerce in a resoultion p os
ed Saturday at their conference
in Washington.
China, one of the principal
silver-using nations, brought
it to a head at the conference.
The British delegation, after
first urging a limited meeting,
has now supported the full
size survey.
The weight of world opinion
has swung to silver. This res
olution of the Chambers is the
culminating act in a series of
developments that proves it.
Eminent authorities the world
over have urged action. The
United States held an inquiry
on silver. lion. II. II. Stevens'
support of a vast credit to the
Orient was inevitably connect-J
ed with silver values and has
made silver a public issue in
Canada, particularly in British
Columbia which, as a produc
er, is vitally interested in silver
value. Right Hon. Arthur
Meighen has come out pub
licly in warning that the world
must bring back the purchas
ing power ot' silver.
Silver is today worth 28 cents
on the market. It has been de
based and demonetized by the
gold countries of the world.
And by that debasing and de
monetizing they have crippled
the buying power of a billion
people in Asia and Latin Amer
ica.
That was all very well when
the gold countries were trad
ing. But today world trade ha*
slowed down to the dangei
point, where favorable bal
ances have become adverse
balances in trade, and the gold
countries’ attention has been
forced to silver.
Today it is as ridiculous and
dangerous to keep the “silvei
billion” without a world-recog
nized money as it would be to
take our own money away
from us.
“Silver will not down,’’says
the San Francisco Argonaut,
and that is the broad truth ot
it. You might say it in another
way: “Silver will up.”
To quote the Argonaut again:
“Meanwhile the Pacific Coast
sufteis in its every financial
nerve because of a trade (with
China and Latin America)
which is one of its chief assets
Silver will not right itself ot
itself. Nor will this trade right
itself of itself, the Bank ot
England to the contrary not
withstanding.”
Silver on a world basis car
and must be stabilized: first,
because it is the currency
(trade medium) of half the
world’s population; second be
cause the world will soon face
a gold shortage (many experts
predict this within a decade);
third and finally , because the
tide of world opinion demands
that every available world ]
trade route be opened and de
veloped, and to do that open
ing and developing, silver will |
play a vital part.
Just for Fun ;
i Customer: “Say, waiter, I,
ordered pumpkin pie and you
gave me apple.”
i Waiter: “That’s all right.;
All the pies are punk in here.” j
“Little boy, don’t you know |
what becomes of boys who use
1 such bad language when they
j play marbles?”
I “Yes’m they grow up and;:
. play golf.” |
_ i
i
Patient: “I’m suffering
dreadfully from insomnia.”
New physician: “Oh, just go
! to bed and sleep and you’ll be
all right.”
—
Old Party: “I am 80 young)
man, and 1 don’t recollect ever,
having told a lie.”
Young Man: “Well, you can’t
! expect your memory to be re-j
liable at that age.
Waiter: “The client com
plains that this sandwich is '
small.”
Head-waiter: “Put it on a
[smaller plate and take it.
I back.”
The lady in the row behind
was explaining the picture to
her little offspring. It was
very annoying to the people
| in the row before. At last a
gentleman turned around and
gave her a look.
“What are you looking for?”
asked the lady.
“The microphone,” was the
reply.
-.
She: “The man I marry must
be brave as a lion, but not for
ward, handsome as Apollo, but
not conceited ; wise as Solomon j
but meek as a lamb; a man)
who is kind to every women,1
but loves only one.”
He: “By Jove! How lucky we j
met!”

TEN YEARS OR SO AGO
'rom the Hyder Alaska Miner ,
May 31, 1921
R. E. Lundvall, who last
.rear spent practically the en
;ire summer doing preliminary
levelopment on his Washing- [
on group on the south fork of j
he Marmot, will put a crew of
nen to work and hopes before
rail to have the property prov-1
;d up to an assured stage.
John Haati caught a moun
ain goat kid on the cliffs
*bove the Silverado a few days
igo and started to camp with
it. The kid, which was about
two days old, seemed perfectly
•ontent in his arms, but when
le placed it on the ground to
Jiift the position of his rifle,
t hopped away with a burst
of speed that would make a
race horse ashamed of him
?el f.
Mrs. Helen Bell, probably
he best known business w mi
an of Alaska, has purchased
the Broadwell building on
Main Street and will install a
complete stock of ladies w *.r
and men’s haberdashery.
Assays running as high as
1,100 ounces of silver have
been obtained by John Ha .ti,
who, assisted by Albert Peter
son, is opening up the Silver
ado group. Specimens brought
down this week show a pre
ponderance of gray copper,
with a sprinkling of chalco
pyrite and steel galena. Some
of the surface ore is beautiful
ly colored with bromide of
silver.
From present indication it
appears that the cloud which
has been hanging over the
Spider mine since the Alguni
can Development Co. suspend
ed operations last winter will
soon be brushed away and
work resumed on the prop
erty.
Jimmy Carter has taken over
‘‘Bill’s Boarding House” on the
Forest reserve.
S. G. Benson has brought
down some fine samples of ore
from the Lucky Boy on Fish
creek, where he has a crew of
men running an adit tunnel
which shows a full face of
quartz and with over a foot
of solid mineral.
The Hyder Drug Co. was
advertising fishing rods, lines,
hooks, leaders, baskets and
salmon eggs—and mosquito
lotion.
Yesterday was Decoration
Day and a national holiday.
Nobody in Hyder even thought
to bury a dead soldier on the
ball grounds.
Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Pitcher
are both down with the flu.
Although having a popula
tion of over 300, Hyder needs
one more child of school age
in order to secure school here.
The minimum number is seven.
Bill McGrew, who was in
jured by the explosion of a
box of caps last week, is able
to be around again.
