HYDER, ALASKA, Jan. 11 1922,
HYDER’S DEPUTY
It is reported in the Juneau Cap
ital that William Eddy has been
"promised” the deputy marshalship
in Hyder. Mr. Eddy is a member
of the "Fifth Division” and is now
on his way home fo Seattle to see
his wife, who recently sustained an
accident. Up to date we are sat
isfied with all of Marshal Beau
mont’s appointments, and irrespec
tive of the report in the Juneau
paper, we are confident that he
will stick to his pre-ey pressed de
termination to select none but gen
uine Alaskans as his deputies.
GENERAL REVIVAL PREDICTED
After a careful svrvey of the Al
aska situation, following reports
from confidential sources, A. F.
Haines, general manager of the
Admiral line, predicts a general re
vival of Alaska business, which
will probably tax the capacity of
Alaska transportation companies
during the coming season.
“We anticipate the doubling of
our Alaska business the coming
year as compared with 1921,” said
i Mr. Haines. “As a result of the
revival in Salmon prices, cannery
operations tins year, it ts < xpected,
will double those of the past year.
Last season tbee nmr> 'ants used
up all their fan plus of uii 'ate,
boxes, and other equipment and
supplies. They packed less than HO
per cent of their normal output.
For the earning season they mu t
purchase new r-upi 'ies in srreat
quantities. They v hi st ud tnortJ
men north. The national ad nicis*
tration has nwarde nail contracts
for the southeastern ad southwest
ern Alaska routes a-*- well as for
the westward route from Seward.
The awarding of th se contracts
shows that the administration is
not only interested in Alaska hut
is ready and willing to help in its
development in every way possible.
That is one of the most welcome
signs of the times. Early comple
tion of the government’s Alaska
railroad is anotherjactor. It will
stimulate business in the region
through which it runs. The de
cline. in prices and in wages means
that gold raining will begin to came
to the front again in the north in
1922.”
Completion of the government
railroad from SevVatd, Alaska, or
the ocean, to Fairbanks, in the in
terior, has effected such a markec
reduction in transportation costs tt
the interior that steamship compa
nies expect substantially increase*
freight movement* to louthwesteri
Alaska and the interior this sum-,
tner. Since the railroad began j
handling traffic the price of beef
at Fairbanks has decreased 251
cents a pound; oats that sold there
a month ago at $140 a ton are now
quoted at $75 a ton and wood that j
costs $13 a cord has been replaced
by lignite coal delivered at Fair-;
banks at $6 a ton. No boom is j
promised in Alaska in 1822, but'
as a result of the operation of the
government railroad and decreased
costs, placer gold mining and much
developmeut work will be under-;
taken on a large scale after years
of inactivity. The steamship com
panies are preparing to handle
many more tourists to Alaska in
1922 than in any previous year.
The Hyder section appears to be
forging to the front steadily and
surely. The discovery of two or
three other properties as rich in
mineral as the Premier will make
that district a leading mining cen
ter for many years to come. And
it is claimed that the other proper
ties are there and only require de
v lopment t* etnonsi rate their
worth, ll.e is11oiler's W eekly.

You can’t get along without the
Miner, But don’t he satisfied with
reading the Other Fellow’s. Come
in and slip the editor Five Bucks.
He will then slip you the paper
once a week for a Whole Year, and
besides give you one of his pleasant
smiles. Maybe Two.
Liigli&h scientists ciaim 10 have
discovered a process fur making
gas from manure. Hint's nothing
new. V. e could name a squad of
Alaska politicians who made that
[discovery years ago.
