LOOKING UP
hi the opinion of experienced
and conservative mining men,
the Indian, B. C. Silver, Dun
w°ll and Riverside groups
will shortly develop into ship
ping properties. In addition
there are at least a half doz
en other properties at various
roints in the Portland Canal
district that have all the ear
marks of mines that will devel
op into paying properties, with
more extensive exploration.
Oninions do not make mines,
of course, for only time and
labor can demonstrate what is
concealed in the depths of old
Mother Earth. But, coming
f^om those whom experience
has taught to observe the signs
and to judge therefrom with
reason and logic, there is much
reason to believe that the day
is close at hand when the out
pot of the Premier mine will be
doubled or trebled by the pro
duction of some or all of the
properties undei* discussion.
As remarked before, time and
J«bor alone can tell the tale;
b’»t with a dozen or more well
developed prospects to draw
to we may feel reasonably cer
tain.fhat better days and better
conditions are awaiting those
who have placed their faith in
Fyder’s future. Vast bodies of
mineral are to be seen in al
most everv square mile of the
district and it is unthinkable
that other paying mines will
pot develop from this marvel
ous array of visible deposits.
We are undoubtedly on the
threshold of a big change and
facing a future of vastly - in
ceased prosperity. With poss
ibly one or two exceptions,
the work done during the past |
summer has reveaied enough
to justify the operators in re
sumin'* development next sum
mer. What better augury can
there he for the future than.,
is provided by the fact that
those who have put their time
and money into the ground
are fully satisfied to go ahead
on the strength of the past sea
son’s showing
POOR CITIZENS.
• illL :
The man who does not poss
es enough interest in the-town
in which he resides to give his
best efforts to prompting its
prQsoerit and development
cnn hardly be classed as a*good
fifteen, eyen though he goes to
church every Sundey and pays
h’* taxes when they are due.
It is a mighty ungrateful be
ing, to say the least, who will,
M others shoulder all the burr
dens of building up the town
from which he derives a living.
If a man is getting along well
in a community he is morally
obligated to show some appre
ciation for what he receives.
The best and easiest way to do
it is to give some time and at
tention to helping it to grow
and become a larger and more
prosperous town.
Dogs sometimes bite the hand
that feeds them. The dog, how
ever, knows no betterand may
be excused; but there is no ex
cuse for the person who will
“knock” the town in which he
makes a living or. refuse to do
do his bit in boosting it along.
It is a mighty poor citizen
that gives to the community
that feeds him nothing more
than the doubtful honor of his
presence.
RETRIBUTION ?
Although emerging from the
Great War in a far more pros
perous condition than any of
her antagonists, with the one
exception of the United States,
Germany is today in a far
worse economical and indust
rial plight than any nation on
the globe. A large percentage
of her population is on the
verge of starvation; her indust
ries are diminished to the point
where they are employing only
a small percentage of the num
ber formerly employed; her
money has depreciated almost
to the vanishing point in the
scale of monetary values; her
government is beset with en
emies; her credit with the
world is practically nil and the
land is filled with discord and
dissension.
Industrially, economically and
socially, Germany is just about
as bad off as she can be. Amer
ica is prosperous, Britain has
all but regained her normal
balance, Italy has. practically
resumed her pre-war status
and even France, theatre of
the most gigantic struggle in
history and most hard hit of all
the belligerent nations, is well
off in an industrial sense, al
though laboring under a most
grievous burden of debt. Of all
the nations concerned in the
war Germany alone is. unable
to support her people and is
compelled to ask the world’s
charity fpr help in .her present
crisis.
To those who reck of nothing
divine, in the affairs of men it'
may seem merely the effect of
circumstances that the nation |
which precipitated the war
should herself suffer from the
same effects forced upon those
she so wantonly and ruthlessly
attacked, but there are many,
who will see ‘ in Germany’s
present distress an outstanding !
examplification of that great
law of compensation, whose
manifestations are so frequent
ly displayed in human affairs. ■
BREAKS LEG IN FALL
FROM WAGON
John Peterson, employed as a
teamster by the. Crawford
Transfer Company, sustained
a fracture of his left leg by
falling from a wagon Monday
afternoon.
The accident occurred in the
mijl yard of the Hyder Lumber
Company, where Peterson was
engaged in,getting a - load of
lumber. According to eye wit
nesses Peterson had finished
loading the wagon and was
in the act of climbing down to
pick up the r.eins, when his
foot, which he had placed on
the rim of a wheel, suddenly
slipped on the iron tire,precip
itating him to the ground and
breaking his limb close to
the ankle.'
The injured man was given
such figet aid as was possible
by members of the mill force
and was hurried by the Dory
Transfer Company, to the
Stewart Hospital, where the
broken bone was set. At last ac
counts he was resting as easily
as could be expected.
Peterson’s wife and daughter
are in the States on a visit at
present, but are expected to
return.to Hyder within a short
time.
