Independence
Now Looks to
Be a Winner
■Jack Fitzgerald aiui Bill Will
iams came down Sunday night
from the Independence group on
Goose creek, where they have run
ft surface cut aoross the hig lead,
showing up over 100 feet of ore
which appears to be of an exeep
toonal grade for concentrating.
About two weeks ago S. P. Fitzger
ald brought down an average sam
ple covering 25 feet of this cut
which assayed $32 with relatively
high gold values, and this ore did
not appeal1 to be so valuable as
the sack which Jack brought down
t".'presenting an average of the bal
ance of the cut.
The work is being done on a big
l *ad which has been traced from
near the foot of the mountain to
the summit, a distance of 8,000
i et, and is at an elevation of 2,000
fert. 1,50) feet above the railroad
and 2,500 feet from it. Last year
when the Algunican Development
Company had a bond on the prop
erty, this showing was pointed out
jo W.A.Meloche, the company en
gineer who, however, did no work
On it but went 1,300 feet higher and
put down two diamond drill holes
both of which proved up ore with
attractive values. Owing to finan
cial difficulties »he company aban
doned this and other properties
which they had under bond, a fact
On which the Fitzgeralds are now
Congratulating themselves.

Cj Wjjkoff and R.L. Cline of the Nat

Rich Ore On
The Marmot
George Mehlfeld of Seattle, who
last winter pHrchased P .E. Reese’s
interests on the Marmot river, and
who is helping his partners, Cl..y
Porter and Mr. Lee develop the
property, eante down Friday with
samples of ore to have assayed and
was very muGh elated when the re
turns showed 460 ounces in silver
and $4.00 in gold. He did not have
a determination made for lead and
the ore shows that this metal is
contained in large quantities, the
ore carrying a considerable amount
of oarbonates as well as cube gale
na. The claims are well up on the
north fork of the Marmot and slides
of loose snow have been sqmewhut
of a nuisance this spring, one slide
smashing their camp to smither
eens. These slides will be no hin
drance ta permanent work.
Mr. Mehlfeld intends making his
home in Hyder and his family will
probably arrive on the next boat.
He has three children of school age.
HYDER-STEWART MAIL
The mail service between
Hyder and Stewart is proving

ceiving date of June 9 and the
other of June 12, were not
sent to Hyder till June 20.

TRIED AG'IN, LOST SG'IN
The populace turned out again
Sunday afternoon to ste a baseball
game between Hyder and Stewart
and were handed a pitiful specta
cle, the most one-sided exhibition
staged in the district this season.
Stewast seems to have lost its pep
since the moderation act landed
with a sickening thud on its 6oler
plexus. The team came over three
men shy and filled the gaps with
Hyder benchers, but even this ton
ing up didn’t give them the ghost
of a show. After the first two in
nings the Hyder Huskies walloped
the pill all over the lot and only
quit sooting when they got scared
of being pinched for cruelty. And
at that they only grabbed 28 out of
the 31 runs, batteries were: for

bridge ac»oss Salmon river at the
mouth of Texas creek, filling the

ble for horses to cross to the west

R. IC Neill Is
In Camp On a
Surprise Visit
8. K. Neill, who converted the
Premier from a prospect into an
assured mine and who was general
manager until he resigned some
thing more than a year ago, arrived
unannounced Sunday and is spend
ing the week looking over the mine,
mill and tram, Mr. Neill is one of
the largest shareholders in the Pre
mier Gold Mining Company,
Since the property has proved to
be a sensational bonanza Mr. Neill
has been harassed with law-suits,
but still wears a smiling counte
nance and says he is not worrying
any. The ease of M.W.Baoon was
decided in Mr. Neill’s favor, the
judge handing down such a strong
decision against the plaintiff that
no one thought he would ever ap
peal. However, Bacon is making a
last desperate attempt to horn in
on the property in which he once
abandoned a chance to own an in
terest, and is preparing to appeal
the case.
Pat Daly’s suit for a one-fifth in
terest in the mine or approximately
two million dollars has not come
to trial as yet, and meanwhile Pat
has secured some valuable adevr
tising by having brought the ac
tion. Since the case is still pend
ing Mr. Neill is not talking about
it, beyond saying that he has no
fear as to the outcome.
At present he is developing a big
low grade free milling quartz prop
osition near Elk City Idaho, which
he thinks will perhaps make p
mine. He intends leaving here next
Sunday.
THE MIRTHFUL MOVIES
Here's a picture packed with pep;
A tale of youth and joy and living;
A film on which we’ll risk our rep
And boom it strong with no misgiving.
At lively "Honeysuckle Inn,"
Where complications, 'mid the pops
Of fizzy bottles, raised a din
That brought a raiding s.pjnd of cops,
A wealth of smile in every scene;
You’re S, 0. L.? Then stop you're rueing!
