ANOTHER MILESTONE
“How time flies!” as the snail ex
claimed when he rode the minute
hand of the clock for a merry-go
round.
Here we are with a bran-new
birth-day, Volume 4, No. 1, coming
into existence with this issue.
Looking back over the past three
years we cannot say that we are
satisfied. Hardly. Were we sat*
isfied, we would look for nothing
better, and if we expected nothing
better we would gladly call it quits
and go farther north.
It has been our aim to keep the
mineral resources of the district to
the fore in the news columns, as
well as to record the comings and
going6, the small and the great
achievements of our residents. Ac
counts of the first birth, the first
death, the first marriage in Hyder
may be found in the files of the
Miner. The appointment of the
first commissioner and deputy mar
shal, arrival of the customs officer,
organization of the school, installa
tion of the first lodge, erection of
the first church, even the arrival
of the first porcelain bath-tub, all
were recorded long after the Miner
had begun publishing to the world
the news of this district.
Great advances have been made
in the mining industry here during
the past thiee years. We are ego
tistical enough to think that we
have helped stimulate the interest
necessary to these accomplishments
And we know that in this we have
been aided by the loyal support of
a large majority of the residents,
for which we are very grateful.
We realize that it is impossible to
please everyone, but since we have
survived thus far without unani
mous support, we are not worrying
about the future.
Real prosperity has not yet struck
this camp. When the tide arrives
we expect to ride on the top wave
until we reach such affluence that I
V i
we can make a trip clear to Rupert
and stay a whole week.

THE CAPTAIN SPEAKS
"This is a little gift George has
sent me, hi^sild pal, Harry. It is
a souvenir that brings back the
good old days when we served to
gether overseas. George was a
private and I was his captain. A
' 1
better boy never lived. See, it is
f engraved: 'G to H.’ I know exactly
w^at he ^nsr—The Alaska Le
gionnaire.

They need redressing.
