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
Hyder Chamber of Commerce, Inc.

ALASKA NOTES
Culled From the Newspapers
Of the Territory.
Dr. Rex W. Schwartz, ol
Nome, has been appointed as
sistant territorial commissioner
of health for the Second Divis
ion by Governor George A.
Parks. Dr. Schwartz succeeds
Dr. F. J. O’Harra.
Gold quartz carrying values
that would start a stampede
in almost any other part of the
world, has been found in the
Hidden River district, where
Elmer and Roy Boedecker,
Gene Bartholf and Dick Tous
ley are prospecting this sum
mer. The Boedeckers have lo
cated what promises to de
velop into a real mine.
One of the returning en
thusiastic excursionists to Alas
ka wrote to a Washington
newspaper the other day in
quiring whether the Indians in
the States have totem poles.
He was informed that they
have none and that these ob
jects were created solely by
the Indians of the North Pa
cific coast.
Former Delegate Dan Suth
erland, accompanied by Mrs.
Sutherland and son Donald, re
turned on Sept. 11th from a
summer sojourn in the White
Mountains of New Hampshire-.
It is the aim of Mrs. Suther
land to remain in Washington
during the ensuing year while
the son is finishing his High
School course. Dan has not
yet formed his plans for the
winter.
The Interior Department is
about ready to circulate a new
booklet giving general infor
mation regarding the Territory
of Alaska. The first edition of
this work was prepared by
Ernest Walker Sawyer in Nov.
1929, and it has since had a
wide circulation. But the edit
ion was almost exhausted last
Spring when Mr. Sawyer pre
pared the copy for the new
booklet, which is now issued in
the same form but with a num
ber of changes and additions.
Robbers recently forced
their way into a Sitka store,
stole an office safe containing
$3000 in cash and an unknown
amount in signed checks, and
hauled it away, but they had
their work for their trouble;
nothing else. The safe was re
covered by Deputy U. S. Mar
shal William Schnable, after
several hours search, in the
brush near town. The robbers
had apparently been ill-equip
ped to open the safe.
The Department of Justice
has announced that effective
Oct. 1st the travel allowance
of its employees will be trim
med a dollar a day. The per
diem allowance in lieu of sub
sistence now fixed at $6 is re
duced to $5, and the limitation
on actual expenses of subsist
ence now fixed at $7 a day is
reduced to $6 a day. This or
der will affect all officers and
employees of the Department,
including Alaska, and will re
sult in the saving of about
$1000 a day in the expendit
ures.
