GOVERNOR RIGGS TELLS
OF IMPROVEMENTS AT
v NEW TOWN OF HYDER
The construction of a government
dock at Hyder under the forestry bu
reau is under consideration and is
being urged by Governor Thomas
Riggs, Jr. While at Ketchikan re
cently, Governor Riggs went into the
matter with the forestry officials
there and it is thought that money
can be secured for that purpose.
“The Canadian government is put
ting up a dock between Stewart, B. C.»
a mile or a mile and a half from Hy
der and Hyder, and Mr. Neil of the
Premier mine has a dock site lo
cated at Hyder and is willing to co
operate with the government,” Gov
ernor Riggs tolu the Juneau Empire.
“He has already spent $80,000 on
roads in Hyder.
“A townsite has been laid out by a
^ Mr. Lindeborg, who is selling lots in
the townsite. The forestry service
has divided the land outside of the
townsite into lots which it is leasing
^ to those who will improve the land
at $5 a year a lot.
“Hyder is about 140 miles from
Ketchikan, one and one-half miles
from Stewart, B. C., and about 100
miles from Prince Rupert.
“There are now about 200 people
in Hyder and about 200 more in the
hills around the town, in the mines
or prospecting, as well as many more
who are continually dropping in. I
think undoubtedly there will be a
rush into Hyder next spring.
“A number of mining engineers are
there looking over properties. A
■number of properties have been bond
ed to Eastern capitalists and pro
moters.
The greatest needs at Hyder at
present are a United States commis
sioner, a deputy United States mar
shal and a customs official.
“The Canadian government has
spent $50,000 on a wagon road from
Stewart to the boundary line and
also $25,000 on a road up the Cana
dian side of the line up the Salmon
** river.
“A co-operative agreement has been
entered into by the territorial bureau
of public roads and the Alaska road
*** commission to build a road from
Hyder to the boundary line to sup
plement the work done by Mr. Neil.”
