AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Tnis newspaper is not connected in any manner with any
stock brokerage firm or other establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
xormation relative to local mining development that is not be- j
lleved to be in full accord with fact.
Freedom’s Anniversary
On July 4 the American peo
ple will celebrate the 156th an
niversary of the Declaration of
Independence, that immortal
document which was made ef
fective through the blood of
our illustrious forefathers and
which was intended to vouch
safe to the citizens of this nat-;
ion the right to life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness.
It is highly fitting that this
historic date should be cele-j
brated. It is also fitting that
the principles enunciated in the I
Declaration should be l eaf- j
firmed, as they will be, by orat-1
ors throughout the land.
It might also be well to recall
on this occasion the important |
privileges set forth in the first 1
ten amendments to the Consti- j
tution, popularly known as the
Bill of Rights.
But, without disparaging the
accomplishments and progress
which have been made in these
156 years, it is pertinent to in
quire just what measures of
liberty, freedom and independ
ence is accorded to the aver
age American citizen in this
year of 1932.
Is he not encompassed with a
multitude of laws, regulations
and restrictions exceeding
those imposed upon any other
supposedly free man? Is he
not subjected to the whims of
an army of investigators, spies
and snoopers which he must
support out of his slender earn
ings under present adverse
conditions? Are the people
“secure in their persons, hous
es, papers and effects, against
unreasonable searches and
seizures,” as contemplated by
the Fourth Amendment?
Honest answers to these vital
questions will indicate just!
how enthusiastically we may,
indulge in celebrating the
coming Fourth of July.
—————o
The Paramount Issue
In the midst of all the politic
al jockeying which is inseper
able from a presidential cam
paign, the paramount issue
which interests the American
people as a whole is that of un- j
employment. When millions j
who are begging for a chance
to work are denied an honor
able means of earning a liveli- [
hood, all other problems seem
insignificant.
The efforts of politicians to
place the blame for present
conditions on this party or
.hat, are manifestly insincere
and futile. No political party,
no official or group of officials
of the government, can be held
responsible for the unhappy ec- j
omomic plight of this nation
and of the world.
The best brains of America !
and other nations have long :
oeen devoted to an earnest ef-1
fort to find a solution to the j
world’s economic problems, j
but without success. Here and :
"here a remedial has given a
small measure of relief. But
broadly speaking, the prob
lem is still far from a solution.
It might be well, therefore,
for the mass of our citizens to
liscount the claims and count
er claims of politicians during
he forthcoming campaign and
demand a facing of these prob
lems on the basis of reality
rather than theory.
Whenever either of our pol
itical parties can give any con
vincing evidence of real ac
complishment in the direction
of restoring prosperity, that
party should have the support1
and applause of the general:
public. But until such a show-;
ing of concrete results can be
made, the average citizen is
justified in considering all the
partizan ballyhoo as just so
much political bunk.
If prosperity is to be restored,
it must be through cooperation
of all parties and all the peop
le. This is not a partisan
question.
Just for Fun
-•-o-—
Some long-range prophets
predict the end of the world,
while others predict that some
thing will be done about Mus
cle Shoals.
Some ladies may find it rath
er monotonous in Heaven if
they don’t get a new style pair
of wings occasionally.
A physician declares more
people have fits than formerly.
Due, perhaps, to the survival
of the fittest.
We read that more than 100
natives of Kentucky became
governors of other states. The
test doubtless became colonels
at home.
Safety hint: Don't try to turn
a corner that isn't there.
Some who write a lot about
international peace are unable
to keep on speaking terms with
their wives.
Many farmers have found
that the cow, sow and hen af
ford more effective relief than
all the politicians.
Investigations of campaign
expenses this year will probab
ly be devoted chiefly to finding
out why the boys didn’t come
across.
Economy has little appeal for
a Congressman with a nice slice
of government pork within his
grasp.
The campaign wil supplant a
lot of jazz music with jazz
talk.
Let the peace talk go on ; it’s
better than war talk, anyway.

A farmer in Denmark has dis
covered a way to preserve milk
in sheet form, which is thin as
tissue paper.
A London, England, man has
invented a special preparation
for cigarettes which lights
them immediately when they
are rubbed on the package.

TEN YEARS OR 30 AGO
From the Hyder, Alaska, Miner
June 28, 1922.
Joe Green this week sold five
lots in Hyder, B. C., all to resi
dents of Hyder, Alaska.
P. R. Backus of Hyder has re
ceived an appointment as U. S.
mineral surveyor.
Grant Mahood has started his
program for developing the
Daly and Sullivan group of the
American Mining and Milling
Company, on which some very
rich ore was uncovered last
fall, according to Mr. Mahood.
Although the determination
to do so came at the 11th hour,
Hyder will celebrate the 4th of
July in fitting manner, it was
decided at a citizens’ meeting
called by the Hyder Athletic
Association Tuesday night.
J. J. Coughlan, Capt. Jas.
Anderson, W. G. Tanner, Har
ry How,son, Grant Mahood, F.
C. Winkler and C. A. Macken
zie are among the prominent
mining men visiting the camp
at present.
Dan Andei’son come down
from the Star group near Nine
Mile bringing some fine samp
les of galena and sulphide ore.
The group consists of three
claims and Seattle parties are
interested with Dan in the own
ership.
Deputy Marshal T. W. Mc
Donald and Customs collector
Stivers apprehended Jack Me-!
Gormack as he was coming in
to town with a sack over his
shoulder which proved to con
tain ten bottles of hard liquor.
He plead guilty before Com
missioner Frame and was sent
enced to three months in jail
and fined §500.
A committee consisting of
Walter Blanton and Noel Trav- j
ersy, president and secretary of
the Athletic Association, W. S.
Orr, Holger Johnson and
Blondy Charlton has been se
lected to make all the arrange
ments for the Fourth celebrat
ion and to take full charge of
the program.
The piledriver for driving the
Hyder dock was placed in po
sition Tuesday and at noon,
while the crew were ashore,
the framework collapsed, caus
ing an expected delay of sever
al days in the operations. The !
accident was due to the tide i
swinging the first pile, which j
had been raised into the lead- ;
ers and left there.
Developments at the Daly- j
Alaska are producing most ;
gratifying results, according to j
managing director Pat Daly.;
I his spring he has proved the I
existence of three more ore j
zones, any one of which is
aqual to the original discovery,
rhe four zones lie parallel,
from 250 to 500 feet a,part, and
ire from 75 to 200 feet in
width. Assays taken across the
zones give values from $7 to
515, while samples from var
ous sections from 6 to 7 feet in
width give $100 or better.
