HYDER, Alaska, April 12. 19M
FIVE DOLLARS A YEAR
DALY ALASKA MINING CO.
STRONG NEW COMPANY
TO DEVELOP NEW ALASKA
Organized by a financially strong
tj>terie of Vancouver and Seattle
business men for the purpose of
taking over and developing the
New Alaska group, the Daly Alas
ka Mining Company will begin an
era of real mining op that proper
ty this season, and before the year
1922 passes into history there is
every reason to expect that another
great wealth producing mine will
be assured in the Salmon river
section,
Being right on the Salmon val
ley wagon road and only 11 miles
from Hyder, the property i$ so ac
cessible that no time need be lost
jn providing means for transport
ing in supplies and equipment, and
development can commence as
•ijjn as the managing director gives
the word, which will probably be
about the first of May.
Pat Daly, who transformed the |
Premier from an indifferent pros- j
;>ect into an assured mine, and
whose practical Knowledge of ore
occurrances and geologic structures
in the immediate vicinity of the
Premier, (where the New Alaska
is situated,) is probably more com
prehensive than that of any other
one man, bonded the New Alaska
last fall and did sufficient develop
ment with his own funds to satisfy
himself that his judgement as to
the value of the property was not
misplaced. The latter part of Jan
uary he entered into a new agree
ment with the owners, Dan Davis,
Wm vIcGrew a id Chas. Knipple,
w lereoy lie was to organize a stock
company, the owners receiving a
substantial cash consideration and
retaining a nominal control in the
stock issue. The Daly Alaska Min
ing Company is the result, organ
ized under the laws of the State of
Washington with a capitalization
of $2,000,000. Jesoe J. Kahn, a
Vancouver capitalist and ow<iei of
the Gastle Hotel in that city, is
president, and Maurice I), Leehey
of Seattle, formerly the most prom
inent attorney in Alaska, is secre
tary. Mr. Leehey holds a distin
guished place in mining circles and
his association with the new com
pany is a demonstration .of its
* rength. Lynch Bros, of Seattle,
1ne well known diamond drill firm,
are among the heavy shareholders.
Certain minor changes in the
agreement held by Daly were nec
essary for the operation of the prop
erty, and to make these ohanges
Daly and “Eddie” Hambleton ar
rived in camp Thursday night for
$ conference with Davis ..nd Knip
Hcfirew having affixed his sig
PAT DALY
Managing Director of the Daly Alaska
Mining Company,' who believes he can
develop another Premier on the Alaska
Side of the line, and who has secured
Strong financial backing for extensive
development of the New Alaska group
I
nature in Vancouver. Mr. Ham
bleton, it will be remembered, was
proprietor of the Stewart Hotel in
1920 when the whole northern
country was all set for a mining
development boom, just as Wall
Street corralled all the money in
the world and put a quietus on any
new undertaking, besides crippling
the further financing of such prop
erties as had not yet reached a self
supporting stage, including the
New Aalaska, which was then be
ing developed under bond by Chas.
F. Caldwell. Mr. Hainbleton is a
director in the Daly Alaska Mining
Company, and expects to spend the
summer on the property, his var
ious business interests being left in
| competent hands. He and Daly
[expect to return south on the next
I Grand Trunk boat, to be gone about
three weeks.
The New Alaska will he develop
ed under the personal supervision
of Pat Daly, who is managing di
rector of the new company. The
organizers of ihe company, while
having never operaUd in this dis
trict, are fully conversant with
conditions here and are financially
j able to carry through their under
| takings. They went into the pres
ent project with confidence that
j Pat Daly will be able, with proper
| financial backing, to repeat his
| achievement at the Premier.

“FRAZER DRIVE"
LATEST CIVIC
IMPROVEMENT
"Frazer Drive” is the name of
the new street entering Hyder
from the junction of Volunteer
Drive and International avenue.
The three publio-spirited men
who initiated this important civic
improvement, A. A. Frazer, H. H.
Howard and M. R. Jamieson, set
tled the question of a name by the
simple expedient of shaking dice,
and Frazer won.
The street will greatly facilitate
the movement of traffic in the
down-town section, and there _ will
be no more occasion for jams caus
ed by rigs having to turn around
to get out of town. They will just
need to drive around the block.
The driveway starts on the inter
national reserved strip near the
customs office and finishes at First
street between the Hotel Hyder and
the Midget Emporium. The latter
| building is to be moved seven feet
! to the west to make room for the
1 driveway, and while he is about it
Mr. Howard intends widening the
! building ten feet and lengthening
it by building a new front that will
extend to the surveyed sidewalk
, line. First street is to be planked
from the east side of the hotel to
First street.
Mr, Frazer donated 16 feet from
! the rear of his two Main street lots
to the psoject; Mr. Howard gives up
the strip between the Midget Em
porium and the Hotel Hyder, and
Theresa O’Donnell donates a wedge
| shaped piece from her lot fronting
the reserved strip. Her building
which is on the strip, is to be mov
ed back across the street onto her
lot.
The expense of the undertaking
is borne by Frazer, Jamieson and
Howard, though it is expected that
Wm. McGrew will want to chip in
on his return from Vancouver, as
the street is a very material im
provement to his Main street prop
erty.
COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION
INVITES GOVERNOR BONE
, Aside from ordering payment,
, amounting to $511, for the chemi
i cal engine received last fall, little
business was transacted at the
meeting of the Hyder Commercial
Association last Thursday night
though an interesting discussion on
the dock question, in which every
one took part, consumed an hour
or more of time, and resulted in
the selection of a committee, con
sisting of H. H. Howard, Walter
Blanton and Joe Green, to meet
Mr. Cheatham upon his arrival and
lay before him the wishes of the
Association in this matter.
The meeting decided that it would
j be to the mutual advantage of the
| town andjthe Territorial Adminis
! tratlon to become better acquaint
ed, aud to this end the following
IMPORTANT DHL
REPORTED HIDE
. RT FISHCREEK CO,
Semi-authoritative word comes
from the Outside that the Fish
Creek Mining Company have bond
ed their property to D. C. Jackiing,
Bart Thane and G. T. Jackson and
that they intend doing extensive
development this season.
All three are names to conjure
with in the mining world, and their'
entry into this camp, if the report
proves correct, is one of the most
important events in the camp’s his
tory. Their achievements at the Per
severence mine near Juneau while
that property was in operation
constituted one of the mining won
ders of the world.
In the Fish creek property they
will find several hundred feet of de
velopment done and some fine high
grade shoots opened up, as well as
a quantity of good milling ora
blocked out. If they proceed oa
Fish creek as they have done i:i
other camps, they will greatly stint -
ulate mining on other propertk s
in this promising section, which.1
lies practically at Hyder’s back
door.
JAMES L. GALEN VISITING
Jaine.i L. Galen, candidate for nomina

night and is circulating around today,
getting acquainted with Hyder and the
citizens of the town. Mr. Galea has made
a whirlwind campaign throughout the
Territory, covering every section except
Nome and the head of Lynn Canal. He
will go from here to Haines and Skagway
and finish his campaign in Juneau. Lack
of space precludes an account of the im
pressions gained by Mr. GaL n in his
travels, but perhaps these can he dwelt
upon in next week’s issue.
