The Prince of Wales arrived
from Ketchikan Thursday with
the mail and a full cargo of
general merchandise.
Merl Thomas has been ap
! pointed administrator of the
estate of the late Frank John
on, former employee of the
Premier Gold Minig Company,
who was found dead on a wag
on load of oil drums at the Fish
Creek road house on the even
ing of November 2, while he
was enroute to town from the
, Premier.
A coal boat with a shipment
of one hundred tons of blacK
diamonds for the Hyder Fuel
Company is due to arrive some
time during the present week,
according to advices received
by the company.
A large attendance and an
atmosphere of good fellowship
such as characterizes a major
ty of the social functions of
die Pioneers were the features
of the annual ball of the Hyder
igloo, Pioneers of Alaska, at
Pioneer Hall on the evening ot
New Year Day. A majority ot
the dance lovers of Hyder and
a fair number from Stewart
-hared the fine hospitality ot
the old timers and passed as
oleasant an evening as could
be devised by the committee
in charge, all of whom are past
masters at arranging a good
time. Music was provided by
| fhe Ridley orchestra and a
i tasty luncheon was served dur
ing the evening. Dancing con
jtinued until the small hours ot
Wednesday morning.
1 Messrs McDonnell and Seppi,
of the Salmon River Stage Line,
are engaged in constructing a
narrow gauge bus for use on
the winter trail that is a decid
ed novelty in the stage line.
The machine will be drive
both by a wheel drive and an
airplane propellor. An ordin
ary Ford motor will provide
power to the wheels in the us
ual manner and a high powei
ad automobile racing motor
will drive the propellor, which
:s attached to the rear of the
machine. The constructors ex
pect to use the propellor only
at such times as extra power
:s required to help the stage
chrough loose snow or on sur
faces where the wheels are
not able to gain sufficient grip
jand when extra speed is de
sired. It is believed that with
the combined push of the
wheels and propellor the ma
chine will be able to operate
even in moderately deep snow
without difficulty. The contri
vance is admittedly an exper
iment but the idea is a prac
tical one and in the event of
it? success will open the way
for a new era of quick trans
portation between Hyder and
the mines during the winter
period.
Mrs. Katherine Carter, wite

couple were married in Se
attle January 25, 1923.

key, offered as a prize by man
ager Lyons.
The members of the Pioneers

social dance given by the wives

Those attending report an ex
cellent time. Miss Hunt contrib
uted in no small degree to the
enjoyment by varying the
music provided by the big
phonograph with piano select
ions. A tasty lunch comprising
sandwiches, cake and coffee
was served during the even
ing and the fun lasted until a
late hour.

1 • d co-owner of i.ho Indepen
dence group in Bear river val
ley, left Thur -day on the steam
. hip Print ■ George on a trip to
the outside, after a strenuous
season at the hard-rock game.
Mr. Fitzgerald expects to be
gone for some weeks and will
visit Seattle; Victoria and.Van
couver. The trip is being made
primarily for the purpose of
completing the incorporation
of the Independence property,
on which development work
is in progress at present.
Before departing Mr. Fitz
gerald said that the contract
ors are making good time on
the new program of develop
ment on the Independence.
The work is at present confined
to No. 1 tunnel, which is now
in 180 feet and will be extend
ed an addtional hundred feet
under the present contract. The
tunnel follows the ore through
out its length. At the conclus
ion of the present contract Mr.
Fitzgerald says an additional
hundred feet will be run, after
which a drift will be run to
cross-cut No. 2 ledge, which
hows some exceptional values
on the surface. The Fitzgerald
brothers do not claim this to
be a high grade proposition
but assert that it contains a
wonderful display of medium
grade ore.
If it isn’t to be .found elsewhere
try the Midget Emporium.
