New Life For
New Alaska
Word comes from Spokane that
flip reorganization of the New Al
ps’ a control is completed and that
n«xt season this property will be
developed on a scale commensu
rate with its prospects of becoming
a big producing mine. Substantial
financial interests have taken hold
and the new company is offioered
as follows: President, Charles Fi
Caldwell, Kaslo, B, C.; first vice
president, Orlando H. Smith, Wash
ington, D. C.; second vice-president,
William C. Toomey, New York;
secretary-treasurer, Albert J. Pas
sage, New York; geotfai manager,
Oliver Tomlin, New York. The
company has established offices in
New York, Washington, Spokane
and Seattle. ^W.G. Harris, former
superintendent of the Premier, has
been retained as superintendent
and it is expected that he will be
here shortly after the new year to
start supplies and material up the
road so that work can begin on the
development of the property very
early in the spring.
The New Alaska has already
peached a stage of development
that makes it very attractive, bin
der the direction of Mr, Caldwell a
tunnel was driven last winter cut
ting the orebody at considerable
depth and penetrating more than
30 feet of good milling ore with
streaks of high-grade that will
stand shipping direct. Work done
last spring on the surface defined
the lead foi a considerable distance
beyond its former known limits,
The New Alaska was originally
owned by Dan Davis, Wm. McGrew
and Chas. Knipple, In ;818 they
Shipped, practically from the sur
face, 1900 pounds of ore that gave
net returns of around $300 per ton;
this with transportation facilities
not what they are today.
The New Alaska is situated on
the Alaska side of the line about
eleven miles from Hyder and the
Salmon valley wagon road passes
through part of the property. Fa
cilities foe continuous economical
operation are unexcelled.
The name of the new company
is the Alaska-British Columbia
Agency Corporation, incorporated
under the laws of New York.
British Columbia
Election Returns
Returns from all over British
Columbia not being: complete at
the time of going to press it is
impossible to publish them in de

Stffjii jthening their enviable re
■ ;rd for hospitality and goodfellow
> ap the Hyder Igloo of Pioneers
a. their first smoker showed their
friends what a really enjoyable
time can be had in a mining camp
and a country which, according to
eastern magazine sharps, is closed
to navigation most of the time but
which is really an admirable win
ter resort for anyone who cannot
st aid too much cold.
The evening p ssed with songs,
stories, impromptu addresses, reci
tatiups and two excellent wrestling
bouts between Felix Seppi, intro
duced by Referee J>e Gracio as the
"Dutch Kid,” and Jack O’Connor,
who beeps himself in shape by driv
ing nails into Bill Gray’s boards.
Dutch stripped at i4() and Jack at
170. The letter had all the best of
it in weight and for an amateur
showed unusual skill. Dutch was
on the defensive a good part of the
time, though he was always look
ing for the main chance and occas
ionally secured a hold which would
have spelled good-night to anyone
less burly than his opponent. Both
bouts went to a draw.
Among the singers who helped
the camouflaged rainwater to cheer
the expectant cesophegus were M.
Meisiggseth, pfesicent of the Igloo,
Guy Lawrence, the silver-throated
Stewart star. Joe Gracio, the Alas
kan Caruso and A1 Blackburn who
\
explained on the start that he was
there to lend color to the proceed
ings.
