Work on the Daly- Alaska is
making good progress under
the direction of William Sloan,
who arrived from the south re
cently to take charge of the
new development program pro
jected by the Daly-Alaska
Company. Thej work for the
present is confined to driving
a 500 foot tunnel to cross-cut
the main ore zones.
The tunnel will also be used
as the main working tunnel,
through "which all of the vai
iou3 paralleling veins can be
worked. Several additional
men have been put to work on
the property during the past
wek or ten da^s and others
will be added to the force as
the work progresses.
. Recent arrivals from the hills
f report that the snow fall up to
the present is almost unprece
dented in the matter of quan
tity. Although the valley has
enjoyed some splendid weath
er of late, it is said that snow
has fallen practically every day
in the vicinity of the Premier,
keeping the road in an almost
impassable state most of the
time. Estimates of the total pre
cipitation so far this winter
range from 30 to 40 feet.

R. W. Keith left last week for
Prince Rupert and Vancouver.
The Wales arrived from
Ketchikan Thursday morning
with a full cargo and the weak
ly mail.
The freight steamer Nabesna
of the Alaska Steamship Com
pany arrived from Seattle Fri
day morning with a good siz
ed cargo of freight and mach
inery for Hyder and Stewart.
The local consignment con
sisted principally of merchan
dise while the Stewart ship
ment was made up largely oi
machinery for the Premier
mine. The latter cargo com
prised approximately forty
tons, while the Hyder portion
amounted to about twenty five
tons and included a shipment
of powder for the Salmon Riv
er Dock Company. The big
freighter landed at the Hyder
Dock Company’s dock.
Reports from the Dunwell
continue to be of a character
to warrant the view that the
property has finally justified
the faith of its present backers
and will soon become a ship
ping property of great value.
A considerable amount ot
trading in the company’s stocn
has occurred since the strike
of high-grade ore in the lower
tunnel. From the original fifty
cents a share the stock has now
advanced in value to over$2.
It is said that the price offered
in several local transactions
was $2,50 per share.
Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Laughlin,
of Hanna, Alberta, were visit
ors in Hyder during the stay of
the Prince Rupert Thursday.
The couple are on a sight-seing
tour which, although made at
a most unfavorable time of the
year, is nevertheless decidedly
interesting, according to Mr.
Laughlin, who said that they
have keenly enjoyed the trip
in spite of the wintry conditions
along the route through West
ern Canada. Mr. Laughln is a
dealer in farm implements,
tractors and automobiles and
says business is too brisk in his
district, located in the heart
of the Canadian grain country,
to permit taking vacations in
the, summer, which accounts
for his taking a pleasure trip
to the North in mid-winter.
The couple intend to return to
their home via Vancouver.
Arrangements for the big St.
Valentine’s day masquerade,
to be held in Pioneer Hall un
der the auspices of the Pion
eers of Alaska, are going for
ward in excellent manner. The
committee in charge has work
out practically every detail of
the program and little remains
to be done before opening the
doors to what promises to be
one of the most interesting
dance entertainment^ of t|ie'
winter. Five prizes are offer
ed to maskers, two for the best
dressed lady and gentlemen,
two for the best sustained char
acter, male and female, and
a special prize fdr the best
tramp character. The last is
expected to produce consider
ate amusement in the shape of
numerous “Weary Willie’s”.
The committee wishes it un
derstood that to draw prize*
costumes must be “home
made,” as in all cases the pref
erence' will be given to cos
tumes of that character. The
music will be furnished by the
Ridley orchestra. The price of
admission will be $2, which
will include supper.
A grand ball, in celebration
of the 192nd. anniversary oi
the birth of George Washing
ton, will be given at the Ocean
View Hotel on the evening of
February 22, it was announced
late last week by Manager C.
M. Ridley.
