TITAN DEVELOPMENT
PROCEEDING NICELY
MINERS ENTHUSED
Jack Fitzgerald was dawn this
week from the Titan group, of
which he is in charge of develop
ment, and said that everything is
go ng smoothly on the hill. The
permanent working tunnel starting
in irom the creek is faced up, and
by the time the snow hits the
camp the crew will be well under
ground. A comfortable camp has
been built, and also a mile of trail
to connect with the new govern
ment trail. 7 he latter greatly fac
ilitates the transportation of sup
plies. j
A feature of the development!
that is particularly gratifying to the |
management is the fact that the i
men working there are going “fifty-;
fifty," taking half their wages in
interests in the recently organized j
unit syndicate. This shows that;
those who have the best chance!
to judge the merits of the proper
ty, the men who are doing the ac-1
tuai work, have confidence in its j
developing into a paying mine.
Telephone line going
UP SALMON VALLEY!
A crew of men in charge of L.
R. Doggelt started Monday on
the construction of a telephone line
up the Salmon valley as far as the
International roadhouse, which ad
joins the international boundary
and will be the upper terminus for
the present, the Hyder terminus
be*ng the radio sration. The line
is being buih by the Hyder Town
s e and Improvement Co., and
Aviil eventually connect up w'ith all
the operating mines of the Salmon
basin.
CAItD OF THANKS
To the many hind friends who have
assisted us in so many thoughtful ways,
during our recent misfortune, we wish to
express our heartfelt th .nxs.

STEAMSHIP MANAGER
LIKES THIS DISTRICT
The Coastwise Steamship and
Barge Company’s ship Anyox,
Captain Canterbury, arrived in port
Saturday morning on her regular
trip for Premier ore, and having
aboard General Manager Wuth
enow, his wife and daughter. Mr.
Wuthenow is combining business
with pleasure, and since his inspec
tion trip of a year ago with Capt.
Snoddy, views with wonder the
production and advancement of
the district. The Hyder district
now constitutes one of the principal
ports of call for this steamship line
and gives every promise of improve
ment. Mr. Wuthenow is a stu
dent of conditions, and under his
management the Coastwise Steain
ship and Barge Co.’s business has
made a phenomenal increase dur
ing the past live years. As an
indication of this movement may
be cited the recent closed contract
whereby this company handles the
ore from the Brittania mine, one of
the largest producers of copper in
British Columbia, to the Tacoma
smelter. The Anyox left here
with 900 tons of Premier high
grade ore and about 150 tons of
concentrates.
WILL DEVELOP THE STAR
Dan Anderson returned Sunday
from a business trip to Seattle,
where his partners in the owner
ship of the Star group at Nine
mile, reside. He intends building
a cabin and doing a considerable
amount of development, extending
the work done this summer, which
showed up a promising lead carry
ing a considerable amount of ship
ping ore. Dan says there is more
money Outside now for mine de
velopment than has been apparent
for a number of years.

TRIAL SHIPMENT
OF AVERAGE ORE
FROMJJJCKY BOV'
Five tons of ore representing the
average for the east drift from the
new tunnel on the Lucky Boy
group on Fish creek were shipped
out on the Prince of Wales this
week, going to the Tacoma smel
ter via Ketchikan. The ore was
not sorted for a high-grade pro
duct, but is in the nature of a mine
run and is shipped for a practical
smelter test. In common with
other operators on the Alaskan
side, Superintendent Benson is
impatiently awaiting the completion
of the Hyder wharf in order that
shipments may be made direct
from here to Taeoma on American
steamers, thus eliminating a large
part of the transportation costs.
SUMMIT LAKE CLAIMS
GIVE GREAT PROMISE
Pat Benson recently came down
from the Summit lake district,
where he has a number of claims,
bringing samples of exceptionally
fine galena and grey copper ore
from a new discovery on the Bus
ter claim. The ore is from a small
but persistent lead that he has
traced for a distance of 900 feet
high-grade showing throughout the
entire distance except for a break
of 50 feet. The Good Luck
group of three claims in the vicinity
of the Buster also gives exceptional
promise, Pat says, eight parallel
leads having already been located
on the property, which are con-,
nected by a network of cross frac
tures of various widths, all carrying
ore. An average of 12 assays
from the various leads gives better
than $ 150 per ton.
