HECKMAN HITE;
IS HUE ON WON
Senator J. R. Heckman, one of
Alaska’s foremost citizens, is a pass
enger on the steamer Yukon, due to
arrive at Nenana tomorrow night or
Monday. Mr. Heckman is making a
tour of the Interior country, accom
panied by Mrs. Heckman. They
came in my way of the upper \u
kon river and have been in the
Nome country during the past sev
eral weeks, looking ever that dis
trict.
Whether or not Mr. Heckman will
3top off at Nenana for a visit here,
is not known to The News, but it
is probable that he will spend a few
days looking over the railroad be
fore he leaves for the coast.
Mr. Heckman is a pioneer busi
nessman of Ketchikan, where he
owns a large mercantile establish
ment. He also is interested in fish
ing and canning, having devoted
much of his time to that industry
■ and having been most successful in
his undertakings, during the many
i years he has resided in the North.
Mr. Heckman attended the last
session of the territorial legislature
as a senator from the First divi
sion. He was also a member of
!the third territorial senate and at
tended the second session as a mom
ber of the house. Mr. Heckman is
! a Republican—in fact, he is one of
the leaders of the party in Alaska.
A live advertisement brines busi
ness. A newspaper needs adverfis

business—I adv-e'-tise.

“Hyder promises to become the
, center of one of the most important
mining districts in all the North,”
said Governor Thomas Riggs, Jr.,
recently, upon his return to Juneau
from the Portland Canal district,
where he examined the prospects on
both sides of the international boun
dary. He was accompanied by his
brother-in-law, Frederic R. Coudert,
the New York lawyer.
“The whole country down there
seems to be mineralized,” declared
Governor Riggs, in an interview giv
en to a representative of the Ju
neau Empire, “both on the Ameri
can and the Canadian sides of tha
line. While most of the develop
ment and prospecting thus far has
been on the Canadian side of the
line, and particularly on the Pre
mium mine, owned by Spokane cap
italists, I believe there is as much
good property on the American side
as on the other, and perhaps more.”
The Premium mine is shipping ore
and putting everything on the dump
that runs under $100 a ton. It is
estimated by the engineers of the
property that $15,000,000 worth of
ore has been uncovered and blocked
out for mining.
Work is progressing on the Big
Missouri, Joker, and Forty-Nine
groups, and all are making good
showings. •»
The principal values in the dis
trict are in silver.
Territorial Senator John Ronan is
in the Portland Canal district, and
is optimistic over the outlook.
Coudert Pleased With Trip.
Mr. Coudert is highly pleased with
the outlook in the Hyder district,
says the Empire, and more enthu
siastic than ever with the scenic
beauties and grandeur of the Alas
ka country.
Governor Riggs joined Assistant
Secretary of the Interior Hallowell
and Colonel Frederick Mears when
they reached Juneau and left for
the Westward with them, accompa
nied by Mrs. Riggs and Mr. and
Mrs. Frederic R. Coudert.
WAR INSURANCE CHANGES
ARE BEING WORKED OUT
WASHINGTON, D. C.—More lib
eral provisions are being worked
out by the bureau of war risk in
surance for inclusion in term poli
cies taken out by men in the mili-,
tary service as an inducement to
them to retain their insurance after
returning to civil life.
The term policies may be con-1
tinued for five years after discharge
from the service, and at any time
during that period may be converted
. into ordinary life, endowment, or
20-vear policies, premium; on which
w-ill be considerably higher. Privi
lege of paying premiums at post
offices probably will be one feature.
Opportunities to make the poli
cies payable in a lump sum to the
beneficiaries, instead of extending i
the payment over a term of years, |
may not be granted. The annuity j
system of payments was written into
the war policies as a substitute- for
pensions.
