FIDE ORE ffl THE
PH IE GROUP
Wm. Murphy tame down Thurs
day night from the Pay Ore group
where tie has been waiting for two
months, bringing seme fine speci
mens of one from two of the leads
he has been developing. The Pay
Ore is situated northwest from the
Indian group, and three leads have
been found upon it Two of these
are parallel, about 700 feet apart,
and strike roughly northwest and
southeast. The third is a cross
vein and strikes almost due north
and south. Work on all three con
sists chiefly of open cuts and sur
face stripping, though on one of
the parallel veins a tunnel n 28
feet under ground and shows, on
the face, three feet of solid steel
galena and iron pyrites, such as the
Specimens Mr. Mutphy brought to
camp, and which are now on dis
play in the Hotel Hyder mineral
exhibit It was in this tunnel that
he did the major portion of his de
velopment this season.
The cross vein differs in charac
ter from the other two in that it
carries a considerable amount of
chalcopyrite as well as galena. The
Vein has been exposed on the sur
face for a distance of 300 feet by a
series of open cuts and ranges from
live to twelve feet in width.
Giveh transportation and a work
ing fund, there is hardly room for
doubt that the Pay Ore could be
developed into a very productive
mine in a short time.

and mechanically. Editor Hail ts becom

last few years, "picked it ep,” Within
another year the editor-printer-devil
pressman of the Miner will make present
day ad artists on a few sloppy slope pa
pers look like nothing before it became
nothing. Last week's Issue Was certainly
a "typographical triumph.”—Portland

PRAISE MINERAL EXHIBIT
Several residents received on the
last mail letters from friends in the
east who attended the sessions of
the American Mining Congress in
Chicago, each speaking in the high'
est terms of the Alaska mineral
exhibit, and especially of Hyder’s
contribution, One of particular ih
terest here is from Charles F. Cald*
well, who was in taa limelight two
years ago through his connection
with the New Alaska and a pro*
posed railway up the Salmon river
valley. Writing from Zion City.
111., Mr. Caldwell says:
! must congratulate you on your
splendid ore exhibit from the mines.
The Alaska exhibit was the central
and best exhibit at the mining con*
gress, and the Hyder exhibit was
about the best. Senator Ronan
was attending closely to the exhibit.
1 also must commend your mining
Organization in selecting so able a
man to represent you. He was
abte to give all information about
everyone, and it was almost like
stepping dff in yaur camp for a day
to see him here.

LET THE OLD FUG FLY
t Somewhere in Hjrder or Stew
art, an American flag is cached
l away which ia needed to fly over
r the Hyder school beuse. The flag
belong* td Dan Lindeborg, and
waa offered to the school board,
but when he went to get it, it
Wasn't home. Then he remem
bered that he had leaned it to
some no, and Mrs. Backus, secre
tary of the school board, went
on its trail The chase led her
all over Hyder and Stewart, and
she eventually found that it had
passed through so many hands
that ah .race of it was lost. The
flag is about 5x9 feet in size
and can be distinguished from
other flags by its having a patch
in the corner containing the stars.
Look your flag collection over,
and if you find this one, let the
school have it.

gol peck pays a visit
CoL Cy. Peck, of Priocfe Rupert,
member of the dominion parlia
ment. who is running on an inde
pendent ticket for reelection, ar
rived Sunday night on the Pacheaa
accompanied by George Tire and
George Frizzell of Rupert, and Mon
day night held a meeting in Stew
art, which is pronounced the best
and most enthusiastic political
gathering ever witnessed in the
town. The meeting was followed
by a feed and dance, and all three
events were thoroughly enjoyed by
a number of Hyder residents.
Monday afternoon the three “big
fellows” visited Hyder, and renewed
acquaintances with a number of old
friends. Col, Peck said at that time
that he had wired Ottawa ia an eff
oit to secure a mail contract for
Captain Swanson of the Pachetia,
to alternate with the service of the
Grand Trunk boat, thus giving
Stewart mail once each week. He
also spoke frankly about the neces*
sity for harbor improvements and
control ®f Bear river to prevent
further damage from floods,
Stewart appears to be solidly be
hind the Col. ia his political aspira
tions, and that suits Hyder, as the
interests of the two towns, though
on opposite sides of the boundary
line, are Inseparable.

BIG BUG
MOVED HERE
SUCCESSFULLY
A moving stunt of more than or
dinary magnitude has been success
fully engtogered by W. L Balcfe
and his crew of able assistants, in
bringing the Ocean View Cabaret
building from Stewart to Hyder,
B.C
The building, which waa origin
ally built in 1910 for a warehouse,
was transformed into an attractive
semi-hotel in the spring of 1920 by
Tom Taylor of Vancouver, and op
erated for a time as a cabaret and
dance hall. This fall it was pur
chased by W. R. Tooth, proprietor
of Tooth’s Smoke Shop in Stewart,
who had prepared a fine founda
tion on a number of lots hi the new
HydtT, B. C. townsite jttst aorosn
the boundary line from Hyder,
Alaska.
The pudding, which is 30 x 4$
feet in size and one and one-half
stories in height, was jacked up
fsom its foundation, the piling cut
from underneath, a large scow ran
under oh the high tide, and the
building lowered onto it. Then,
with the extreme high tide of last
Sunday, and with perfectly calm
weather, (a streak of luck for this
time of year, and the only decent
day we have had for a month,)
Fred Dorey hooked his launches
onto the scow, and in SO minutes
the outfit was within a few yards
of its new location.
The tide was not sufficiently high
to permit the scow to take the
building exactly where wahted. so
it has been jaeked Up again above
the scow stanchions and will be
skidded across to its pfoper place,
There are eight rooms on the
second floor atid It is Mr, Tooth’l
intention to add another storey and
convert the building into a modern
hotel. He has widened the road
30 feet in front of his lots by build
ing a plank platform.
