HYDER DISTRICT
i TO BE BIG CAMP,
AVERS VISITOR
_
s There is every reason to believe
;that the Portland Canal district, in
! which the towyns of Hyder, on the
! American side, and Stewart, on the
j Canadian side, are striving for* su
'premacy, will develop some very
Jrieh silver mines, in the opinion of
Senator Dan Sutherland, who was
in Nenana this week, direct from
the First division, where he talked
with a number of oldtimers who
had investigated the field.
The Premier mine, the senator
says, already has demonstrated its
■worth, several millions in silver ore
'now being in sight. There are
those, in fact, he says, who believe
the Premier will develop into the
greatest silver producing property
in the world. And there are a
number of other ledges in the dis
trict which show' good values, but
which have not yet been sufficiently
developed to prove their worth.
Senator Sutherland said that he
had heard that the Guggenheims had
acquired an interest in the Premiei
property, with options on the re
maining interests, and he believe
there is something to the story.
The district is somewhat quiei
this winter, but a big rush of people
is expected in the early >pring, a nr
the indications are that lively time:
will result in that corner of thi
Territory. Quite a number of old
timers from other Alaska camp:
have located at Hyder, and buildin;
operations at both Hyder and Stew
art were active throughout the fal
and early winter.
The manner in which the Premie
lead was discovered reads like a ro
mance. Senator Sutherland say
that a tunnel of considerable lengt
was put in by the original owner
of the nroperty. but they failed t
find tie ledge and finally aban
doned operations. An oldtimer, wh
had observed the manner in whie
the development work had bee
done, believed that the tunnel ha
been run parallel with the ledgf
and he so expressed himself a nurr
ber of years later to a man wh
visited the district. The visitor wa
so favorably impressed by the old
timer’s view of the situation tha
he hastened to New York and s«
_ cured easy options on the property
j after which he returned to Portlan
canal and put in a number of cross
cuts, in every one of which th
j
ledge was encountered at about 2
feet from the tunnel.
The ore is very rich and ther
appears to be a great quantity of ii

EW HOUSE
AT END OF TINE
Jack Singleton, who has estab
| lished one of the finest roadhouses
in Alaska on the Government right
| of-way near the mouth of Lignite
j creek, is planning the erection of a
new building at the end of steel,
^near the north end of Nenana can
yon, where the Alaskan Engineering |
i commission is establishing a large
camp. Mr. Singleton, who is in
(town today, already has the lumber
and other material pn the ground
■at Camp creek and will begin put
ting up the new roadhouse within
! the near future.
1 After the new house has been
completed. Mr. Singleton probably
will move some of his Lignite build
ings to the new location, for the
purpose of enlarging the establish
ment, should conditions warrant.
[That is a detail that will be deter
mined later, however, the present
< plans contemplating the one new
; building, which will be a one-story
, structure, but sufficiently large for
present needs.
Mr. Singleton operates a store in
j connection with his roadhouse and
has facilities for delivering outfits
; to prospectors and camping parties
.in that locality.
The roadhouse man came in yes
terday and plans to return to his
headquarters tomorrow.
