NENANA TO HELP
CELEBRATE DAV
The Eagles’ Thanksgiving hall, ;
which each year marks the com-1
mencement of winter social activi
ties in Fairbanks, will be a par-!
ticularly important affair this year,
takintr the form of a celebration
dance in honor of the completion
of the Government railroad between
Nenana and Fairbanks. It prom
ises to be the biggest social event
in the history of Fairbanks.
The Eagles want Nenana to cele
brate with them, and to that end
have extended a formal invitation
to local dancers to journey to the
upper town next month to partici
pate in the big time. The invita
tion reached Nenana yesterday, with
a request that it be given publicity
through the columns of The Xe
nana Daily News. It is addressed 1
to the citizens of X'enana and read? (
as follows:

! ball to be given by the Fraternal
Order of Eagles on Thanksgiving
| eve, in honor of the completion of
'the Government railroad between
Xenana and Fairbanks,
j As the dance is in honor of the
completion of the road between the
'two Interior towns, it will be run
along the lines of a railroad affair.
I An elegant burnt moosehide will be
I given as a door prize. Each ticket
iwill cost SI.50, admitting one cou
ple, extra ladies being admitted
jfree. Each ticket will bear a num
ber and coupon with a duplicate
number, which will be detached at
the door; the numbers will be placed
>n a box and the drawing will take
place at midnight.
There will be coffee, cake, and
sandwiches served at the counters,
railroad style, at a cost of 25 cents
per plate. All refreshments wiil
be home-made, made by the wives
of the Eagles.
This will be no elaborate dress
affair—just a “get-together" infor
mal Thanksgiving railroad dance,
which we hope will have a tendency
to bring the good people of Xenana
and Fairbanks more closely together
in a social and business way. Re
member the date. Thanksgiving eve,
at the Eagle hall, Fairbanks.

! BRIGHT FUTURE
_
That the development work is go
ling ahead and that there is every
indication that the mining district
at the head of Portland canal, now
commonly known as the Hyder dis
trict, will be one of the greatest
mineral producing camps in the
world before many months, is the
opinion of Fred Cotter, engineer of
the Alaska Road commission, who
returned to Ketchikan recently from
the mines, after several weeks of
investigation.
Mr. Cotter went to Hyder, says
the Ketchikan Chronicle, to make
the preliminary surveys for roads
and for the new docks which are
expected to be built by the Govern
ment, but during his visit he had
ample opportunity to study the min
ing conditions.
Among the few properties that
he had time to visit were the Big
Missouri, the Forty-Xine, and the
Premier.
On the Big Missouri property a
diamond drill is being operated now.
Three holes are being driven pnd
are at a depth of 300 feet. All of
them are showing ore carrying good
values, according to Mr. Cotter.
The people who have taken op
tions on this ground are preparing
to go ahead with extensive develop
ment work, and every indication is
that it will be a big producer.
On the Forty-Nine group, Mr.
Cotter found them doing some pros
pecting, which has advanced to such
a state that there seems no doubt
it will be a good mine. This prop
erty is over the hill from the Pre
mier and there is iittle doubt in
the minds of mining men that the
same veins extend through both.
Lut her is now being hauled to
the property for the bunkhouse and
messheuses and other buildings. The
lumber was imported from Seattle
and is being carried to the property
at great expense, as the transporta
tion conditions are so bad.
That the Premier mine is the pre
mier mine of America in the making
is the opinion of Mr. Cotter. It
may not be better than other prop
erties of the Hyder district, he
points out. but it has reached a
more advanced stage of develop
ment. At the present time, the en
gineer reports, sufficient ore has
been blocked out to make the Pre
mier mine an enormously rich pro
ducer.
During his visit to the mine, Mr.
Cotter went through the tunnels.
In one of them he walked for a dis
tance of 600 feet. This was cross
cut in four places for a distance of
some 200 feet, and throughout, at
every point, one could pick rich ore
from the walls of the tunnels.
"Some of the ore being taken
out,” said Mr. Cotter; "in fact a
great deal of it, is so rich that the
silver can be scraped off in great
.layers, solid silver, to say nothing
of the gold and other values it
carries.”
■-T-: -'—-L..
Farther down the hillside the en
igineer was taken through another
j tunnel. And in this they struck
■the same veins of ore. This tunnel
j is expected to show richer ore as it
• is driven farther into the hill,
j During the winter, the Premier
mine plans on making some big
(shipments of ore to the States.
(Some new auto sleds are to be im
ported for an experiment, and if |
they prove satisfactory they will be j
used exclusively. The management, 1
however, is fortifying itself by hav-;
ing made arrangements for horses
in case the sleds are not practicable, j
At the present time, the Premier
company is building barns and sheds !
and cabins at the nine-mile post on :
the road. This is the half-way sta
tion in the haul from the mine to1
tidewater.
j The company also has about 30 !
men doing road work, preparing the
way for the ore shipments,
j Mr. Cotter found Hyder very ae- j
tive. New buildings are going up’
and lots are increasing in value. I
New business houses are appearing:
and others are contemplated,
i But with all the business activity,
Mr.' Cotter believes that persons ex
pecting to settle there should either
be well supplied with money to
.carry them through this winter or
wait until spring before settling, j
The reason for this is that he be-j
lieves the actual operations will not j
start on a -large scale until next
spring, and until that time everyone i
will find it necessary to be con- !
servative in his expenditures.

Marguerite Clark, one of the
screen’s fairest daughters, will make
her appearance at the Coliseum to
morrow night in a typical Para
mount-Clark feature, "The Ama
zons," combining a rapid-fire theme
with hundreds of laughs. In n)
other picture has the winsome little
star been given such an opportunity
to display her own inimitable hu
mor, and as ''Tommy,” the daugh
ter of a boyless English aristocrat,
she makes the most fascinating hoy
den ever caught by the eye of the
camera, and the tale of her adven
tures, amusing and romantic, form
a photoplay seldom equaled in the
history of filmdom.
Those who have seen Marguerite
Clark in some of her earlier roles
will not know her as Tommy, the
dainty, demure Marguerite in bloom
ers and sweater, valiantly using,
boxing gloves and knocking out a
girl about twice her size; in mas-'
culine evening attire, knocking down
a six-foot bully of a man; and i
standing on tiptoes on the crossbar
of a gymnasium.
The feature is in five reels, full 1
of snap and go from start to finish, j
The price of admission will be 50
cents, with a quarter extra for
reservations.
