Trails For Fish and Texas
Warning on Reserve Lots
R. L. Gline, Forest Examiner for
Alaska, and Cy. Wycoff, Forest
Ranker, left for Ketchikan on the
R mger 1 esterday morning after
spending two weeks in the district.
Mr. Cline, who has charge of trail
building for the Forest Department,
thoroughly cruised the Fish and
Texas creek sections and laid out
tFuils, work upon which will com
mence upon his return about the
10th of next month.
He says he is satisfied that the
mineral showings of Fish crerk
warrant the expenditure of all the
mosiey that can be secure^ for
roads and trails and he will have
all the work done there this year
that the funds available will per
mit. A trunk tr iil will be built for
a nstance oi one and one-half to
two miles, on a grade which will
permit of its being widened later to
a wagon road. A base camp will
be establish d near the mouth of
the creek
A trail ’.vdl also be built from
the Salmon river bifdge at Texas
creek through the Texas pass to
the foot of Salmon glacier to con.,
nect with a proposed road up the
glaoier to mining properties of the
upper "'almoin basin. The road com
mission camp at the bridge will be
taken over for the crew employed
in this work.
Later in the season Mr. Cline ex
pects to make a trip across from
Texas creek to the head of Chick
snin river, with a view to deter
mining the best route into that new
district, over which u trail can be
built next year should condition*
itistify the project.
Forest Reserve Lots
Mr Wycoff, who i< now empow
erod to allot locations on the forest
reserve addition to the Hyder town
site, has made a number of people
happy by showing them where they
could build their domiciles and
raise their “garden sass." Some of
these bona fide settlers now occupy
lots which had been held for a year
or more by people who had done
nothing in the way of improve
ments. Mr. Wycoff says that on
his return to Ketchikan he will rec
ommend the immediate cancella
tion of all lots held for over a year
with nothing done on them, and
theiir allotment to other applicants,
a large list of whom is on file.
Those who have shown they in
tend utilizing their allottments will
be given until the first of August
to occupy their lots, according to
the recommendations he will make
in such cases.

the Fohrth fexpen§e fund. They
have succeeded In securing the
AnyoJi baseball team to cross bats
with the Hyder Huskies and the
latter will find the smelter bunch a
hard combination. It will be a treat
for home folks to see the Huskies
hhve to play on their tofes for once.
They know they ate tip against M
real team and have been practising
faithfully. The Gun Club of Any

Lucky Boy
Breaks Into
Limelight
From now on development of
the Lucky Boy on Fish creek will
be watched with unusual interest
because of the fact that the prop
erty now appears to be in the trans
formation stage of changing from
a prospect to a mine. Pat Benson
who oame down from the camp
Saturday, says that the surface
prospecting he has done during the
past two seasons has finally deter
mined his future course of devel
opment, that he now has the lead
in place and that it not only is of
good size, being ten feet or more
in width, but carries values which
will place the property on the ship
ping list as soon as transportation
facilities are provided, which is not
an expensive undertaking. He is
now negotiating for a diamond drill
to b? placed in operation on the
property, and meanwhile will con
tinue hand development.

ership of the Lucky Boy at e ;. num

are available for development nj.d

from now oh to do continuous
work.
Fish Creek
High Grade
Some of the finest appearing ore
ever seen in Hyder was brought
in Saturday evening by Harry Tan
ner from thfe fish Creek Mining
Company's claims on Fish creek,
on which he started new develop
ment about two weeks ago. The
ore is solid grey copper and galene
and assays around 680 ounces in
silver to the ton. The rich shoot
is in the face of an adit tunnel or
one of the many leads of the groin
which is in about 130 feet and lias
gained a depth from the surface o
180 feet: The high-grade is bein;
sacked as it is taken out, 18 sack:

confident that by fall substantia?

The town entertained a large party ot
tourists Sunday who had not figured o '
seeing Hyder when they left their home
in the cent belt for a peek ot Alaska, Th«
