Developments at the Daly Afcis
k i are producing most gratifying
Jesuits according to Managing Di
re -tor Pat Daly who, with Director
E t iie Hambleton, caine down Sat
urday night to meet the company’s
president Jesse J Kahn, and the
secretary, Maurice D. Leehey.
In conversation with the Miner
Mr Daly said that when he bonded
the property there was apparently
only one ore zone in the group, but
that this spring he has proved the
existence of three more zones, any
one of which is the equal of the or
iginal discovery. The four zones
lie parallel, from 250 to 500 feet
apart, and are from 75 to 200 feet
in width. Work thus far has been
principally confined to surface cut
ting to define the ore zone system.
The company’s assay office on
the property is in continuous oper
ation, and a series of average sam
ples taken across the zones gives
values from $7 to $15, while sam
ples from various sections from
six to seven feet in width give val
ues of $100 and better.
On the original lode, open cuts
have determined its course for a
distance of 700 feet, and about 300
feet north of the old “Caldwell"
tunnel, a large uody of fine sulphide
ore has been opened up, and as
says as high as 560 ounces in silver
have been obtained.
It is Mr. Daly’s intention to
learn as much about the surface
as possible before he is forced to
prepare for the winter development
program Physical characteristics
of the property are such that max
imum results may be expected by
diamond drilling, and it is probable
th it a considerable amount of un
derground prospecting will be done
next fall and winter by this method.

Silver group adjoining the Premier j

to start work on the property. It;

DALY & SULLIVAN AND
DIVIDE WORK STARTS
Grant Mahood, president and
managing director of the American
Mining and Milling Company, has
i started his program for developing
the Daly & Sullivan and the Divide
groups in the Salmon basin, a crew
having gone up this week to fix
trails and pack in supplies. Last
fall Mr. Mahood showed up some
very rich ore on the Divide, and
intends to start development at
this point. A winter camp will be
built, and he hopes to be ready to
ship ore by the time snow flies.
The company was organized by
Vancouver business and profess
ional men. and has ample funds in
the treasury to complete the pro
gram mapped out.
STAR GROUP HAS
NICE ORE SHOWING
Dan Anderson, who returned re
cently from Seattle and Tacoma
where he spent the winter, came
down Saturday from the Star group
at Nine-mile, where he has been
doing some work, ana brought some
fine specimens of galena and sul
phide ore from the face of a tunnel
which was then under ground a dis
tance of eight feet. The lead is im
proving both in quantity and qual
ity of ore as depth is gained, and
now carries a foot of high-grade.
Dan intends to put in about an
other month on the property. The
Star group consists of three claims
and Seattle parties are interested
with Dan in its ownership.
WORKING ON THE VIRGINIA
Wm. Banting has started to fix
camp at the Virginia group and in
tends working there all summer.
His wife, Margaret Duff Bunting,
owns one-half of the property and
J. A. Hall one-third, the balance
being owned by Finzell, of Juneau.
The group lies between the Daly
Alaska and the International boun
dary and is said to have good sur
face showings. Mr. Hall paid the
l roperty a visit with Mr. Bunting
last Monday.

BULL LUCK
SCORES WINS
FOR KETCHIKAN
-—
There was once a young Scotch
1 man who was inclined to boast
about his fighting prowess. One
day he told a friend: “Me and my
brothers Dougall and Angus, and
j »uy cousins Rory and Jock, and the
twa MacPhearson boys whupped
ane wee Irishman, and he was only
05 years old and no so drunk what
ever.”
Last Sunday Ketchikan, claiming
a population of 5000, with a city
league that plays ball every day,
came over to Hyder, which points
with pride to a population of 300,
and, after a battle long and fierce,
nosed out a ball team made up of
boys who work hard all week and
never get any practice except the
seven-inning games on Sundays
with Stewart. Oh yes, and Ketchi
kan brought along Harris, the star
player of Juneau, who made nearly
one-third of the hits for the winning
team and went into the box in the
7th inning of the first game and
pulled them out of a hole after they
were completely snowed under.
The Juneau phenom went to bat
ten times and made nine hits, four
of them two-baggers. Without him
the fishermen would have had to
soak their watches to get home.
The tables below tell the sad
tale in figures, but it takes words
to describe the wild excitement at
times, such as, for instance, when
Ray Carrol stole home and Wylie
Graham cracked out a home run.

GUGGENHEK
BOND GROUP ON
KM SIDE
That theGuggenheims appreciate
the importance of the continuation
onto the Alaskan side of the min
eral belt on which the Premier is
located, is demonstrated by the
fact that this week they bonded
the Stoner group.
The property lies between the
Daly Alaska, Alaska Premier and
the international boundary line and
consists of 11 claims, four of which
are owned by H. B. Stoner, the
other seven being owned by Mr.
Stoner, J. V. Clegg and Paddy
O'Rourke. The bond covers a per
iod of three years and calls for
practically continuous development
work, with a survey and patent of
the claims. It is taken by the Fed
eral Mining and Smelting Compa
ny, a Guggenheim corporation.
GREAT SHOWSATTRDAY
One of the best shows ever seen
in Hyder is on the program at the
Green Theatre for next Saturday
night, the great D. W. Griffiths pro
duction, ‘The Idol Dancer,” being
staged. The entire picturfe was
taken in the South Sea Islands with
Caroline Seymour in the leading
role. It is a seven-reel production,
and the name of Griffiths should
pack the house. The show will
open with a comedy and commence
promptly at 8 o’clock.
