HYDER ALASKA MINER

A newspaper whoa* purpose ip to tell
the world about the naweat and bua
ieat town in the northland, and the
native reaources which are responsible
for ita existence.
PUBLISHED WEEKLY
Entered aa second class matter Nov
ember 4, 1919, at the post office at

HYDER, ALASKA, Mar. IS. 1922
WHY THE SECRECY?
Why all the secreey about the
Premier mine? ,
The entrance to the tunnel is a
portal closed to visitors, a condition
that exists at very few mines en
the American continent but is en
forced here under orders from the
company office in New York. Infor
mation as to operation results or
company plans is almost impossible
to obtain, and direct harm results
to the development of the district
as a whole.
Generally the operators of a suc
cessful mine are proud of their
work and success, and glad to her
ald the tidings of their good for
tune abroad, but not so the Pre
mier company. They did not even
file with the B. C. Minister of Mines
the returns required by lav/ until
(he very last moment, holding back
the information as to their output
for the year as loug as the law
would allow, and causing the Min
ister to issue a supplemental pre
liminary report.
The most plausible answer is
that they desire to secure addition
al property in the district and are
afraid that full information as to
their mine would result in a rise
in valuations placed on adjacent
claims.
This is probably true, but why
should they want to hog every
th:.lg? Why not encourage other
companies and claim owners to d®
more development?
Do the Guggenheims care noth
in;', whatever about the welfare of
the district in which they are oper
ating? Or do they want to leave
it to their posterity to open up the
mines one at a time for the next
200 years?
Why not be fair now to the sec
tion from which they are now tak
ing millions of dollars?
' Andrew Jackson was born March
1 15 1767. Some of the Democrats
down south are still voting for him
for President.

We have wondered in the past
by what malign influence the un
pronounceable name of the island
upon which the city of Ketchikan
is situated was wished upon it.
Now we know. We asked Com
missioner Frame and he read the
answer out of a big book, Captain
Vancouver, the English explorer,
named it after Don Juan Vicente
tie Guemes Pacheco Fediala, Count
of Revillagigedo and Viceroy of
Mexico. This happened in 1793,
before Judge Frame started the
Snohomish Democrat,
