AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Tnis newspaper is not connect ed in any manner with anj
stock brokerage firm or other establishment associated in o
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no ir
rormation relative to local mining development that is not b(
neved to be in full accord with fact.
The International Celebration
With peace and international
amity the most widely discuss
ed subject in the world today,
the forthcoming Alaska-British
Columbia international cele
bration, in which Hyder, Stew
art and Premier will partici
pate, July 18th, 19th and 20th,
should result in a large amount
of valuable publicity for this
district.
The spectacle of two Can
adian and one American town
oining in a large-scale celebra
tion of the foremost national
holidays of their respective
countries is one of sufficient
novelty to attract front-page
attention from even the largest
ouside newspapers. Being also
an examplification of that
wide-spread inclination toward
international harmony and ac
cord, such a celebration will al
so tend to create considerable
comment and thus may even
win a place on the editorial
pages of the southern journals.
In either case the publicity
given the district will be of a
character impossible to attain
by any other means.
Front page publicity is the
most valuable advertising in
the world and if the local cele
bration can gain such a place
in the Outside news journals,
as seems quite probable, it will
do more to attract attention to
this district than any other
form of publicity possible to
achieve.
The committee in charge of
the celebration should not fail
to take advantage of this
matchless opportunity in con
nection with their advertising
campaign. By seeing that at
least the more prominent pa
pers in the United States and
Canada are provided with full
details regarding the celebra
tion and its principal features,
they may secure for the dis
trict a volume and character j
! of publicity that could not b
purchased at any price.

A Gold Famine Predicted
A world gold famine threaten
the financial structure of th
world after 1933 if the presen
production of gold—approxi
mately $400,000,000 annually
is not increased within the nex
two years. This is the conclu
sion of the Gold Delegation o
the League of Nations.
The Gold Delegation fount
that approximately nine-twen
tieths of the world’s annua
gold production has gone inti
the manufacture of jewelr
and industrial products, whih
the balance has been utilizer
for monetary purposes.
The estimated future of goh
production is not sufficient t<
keep pace with the work
trade, hence gold prices wil
soar higher, forcing up the cos
of products. The estimated pro
duction of $402,000,000 fo:
this year is $2,000,000 undei
1930, leaving only $220,000,
000 free for monetary purpose:
and $182,000,000 for industri
al purposes.
A factor that exists as ••
hamper to world trade is tin
fact that nearly two-thirds o
the world’s total monetary
gold supply is in the possessioi
of France and the Unitec
States. This is looked upon bj
many countries as largely re
sponsible for the present de
pression.
Three alternatives are pos
sible to prevent a serious golc
famine within a very few
years. Either new gold fields
must be found, gold standard;
abolished, or the use of golc
prohibited for any but mone
tary purposes. A better distri
bution of the world’s gold sup
ply would also be a great help
in restoring financial confi
denct and world trade.—Chi

TEN YEARS OR SO AGO
From the Hyder Alaska Miner
May 31, 1921
The Premier mine strikers
have returned to work on tin
manager’s terms with the
promise of D. L. Pitt that there
would be no discrimination
and that living conditions at
the mine would be bettered as
soon as possible. With this
action the tram workers who
were out in sympathy with the
mine crew automatically ceas
ed to be on strike.
The strike lasted three weeks
and while the time lost had no
particular effect on the mine
or mill it could hardly be
spared on the tram construct
ion, as it will be nip and tuck
to complete the contract before
the big snow next winter.
That there has been a new
deal made on the Big Missouri
is now a certainty, but details
will probably not be obtainable
until the return of Dan Linde
borg. Andy Lindeborg has re
ceived a telegram from Dar
that the deal has been pul
through in New York by Pal
Daly and the first paymenl
made.
That a new lead of extremely
rich ore has been uncovered or
his Fish Creek group is the
news brought to town by John
Hovland. The new lead, where
encountered, is 4 feet wide,
with 14 inches assaying 300
ounces per ton in silver.
Bernard M. Stone has been
appointed school tax collector
for the Hyder district.
Just before leaving New York
Pat Daly bonded the Wood
bine group of three claims ad
joining the Premier to New
York capitalists. It is said a
substantial cash payment is re
quired in 30 days.
Joe Grashio, manager of the
Hyder baseball team, and Jack
Critten, captain, have been
conducting an energetic cam
paign for funds to enable the
team to appear in a form be
fitting the reputation of ft he
busiest mining camp in the
north. A dance held in the old
lighthouse Saturday night re
■ulted in approximately $150
being added to the fund al
ready raised by subscription.
By a mutual arrangement be
ween Oren F. Hill, postmaster
it Hyder, and Will Cameron,
Stewart postmaster and eus
oms collector, Hyder mail
from the south is to come in
lereafter in bond on the Grand
rrunk boats until such time as
he seamen’s strike on the
\merican boats is settled.
Hyder is making prepara
ions to receive a large dele
gation from the Vancouver
loard of Trade which left that
■itv yesterday on an excursion
ip the coast and will arrive at
he Stewart wharf June 11th.
Bob Keith has built a new
iidewalk on the First Avenue
