■'KEEP YOUR SHIRT ON”
A Seattle politician, one of the
nervy breed who live in the Puget
Sound metropolis and Imagine they
owh Alaska because the wealth
pouring out from this Territory has
transformed Seattle from a bank
rupt bluff to a populous city, has
I sent a message to the editor of this
! paper telling him: “Keep your shirt
on, because everything is coming:
out alright under the new adminis
tration." ,
Well, so far as the editor of this j
paper is concerned he has neveF,
since landing in Hyder, had any
intention of taking his shirt off.
(Of course, that is only figuratively
speaking.)
All the politicians and adminis-1
trations in the world oannot alter ,
the value ®f this district's mineral:
zone. The mountains of the Port
lano Canal section are veritable
store houses of treasuse. Those of
us who have watched the develop
ment of the camp from its inception
know this; that is why we came
here, and why we are staying here.
No, Mr. Politician, you may be'
low and bomb;st, foam at the
mouth, and make a general nuis
ance of yourself in the eyes of sane
citizens; you may predict Paradise
or Purgatory according as to wheth
er you» petty candidates win or
lo e in their mud-slinglng cam
paigns, but you cannot get us ex
cited with your nonsense* The hills
around us are commencing to pour
forth their hordes of gold and sil
ver, of oopper and lead, and as the
rents in their mighty wails are
widened, the stream of treasure is
becoming greater,
We are not Interested in your
mouthy nothings—we have oleaner j
j occupations. We are opening Up j
■ the richest mining district of the!
Northwest, and will soon be living i
in the mining metropolis of Alaska, j
the wonderland.

handed knocks against this camp
published by that paper only little
more than a year ago.
Before the pall of prohibition
spread its blight over the country,
fishermen used to think they would
have no luck unless they fished
with baited breath.
It i« claimed by some authotf ties
that children of parents advanced
in age are likely to possess more
intelligence and greater stamina
than those whose parents have
themselves just passed fro.o child
hood. Jf this is the oase, Psesident

W« thought we had discovered a
road to quick wealth when we plan-;
ned to cross a hen with a turtle I
and raise a hybrid that would lay '
100 eggs at a clatter, but we have '
found a simpler way. In a down-;
east paper we note the following
ad: "For sale--a cow, giving milk,
a lot of chickens, three tons of hay
and two stoves.” Now if enough ‘
of our subscriber* will | ay up so
that we can buy that cow, we will
never have to dun anyone again.
The annual report of the B. C.
Minister of Mines gives the impres
sion that the Premier mine, the
largest producer of gold and silver
in Canada, is nothing more than a
comparatively unimportant pros- ■
pect. Wonder if someone toAd the '
Hon. Billy Sloan to put on the soft j
pedal. j
In its issue of July JO Mining
and Scientific Press of San Francis
co prints a large illustration show
ing a portion of Hyder’s piled area.
Hyder is designated as the “Port
for the Premier Mine of British
Columbia."
While the miners arfe digging
high grade ore in the hills, we are
here to state that Hyder household
ers are digging high grade garden
truck at home. .
The reason the postoffice is like
an abandoned quartz mill is be*
