ANOTHER HYDER PROPERTY
FINDS BODY OF GOOD ORE
The Mobile mine, situated on the
south fork of Glaeier creek, a few
miles from Stewart in the Hyder
district js about to take its place
among the shippers of the district.
Ore is being rawhided down the hill
and stored at the Portland Canal
concentrator and will be brought to
the wharf and sent to the smelter
when a sufficient tonnage has ac
cufulated.
The tunnel work on which was
December 15, has been driven over
100 feet, and has entered upon a
shoot of high-grade silver ore that
has been exposed for a consderable
distance pn the surface by open
cuts. The vein averages three feet
in width says the Hyder Miner and
the tunnel now shows from eight
to ten inches of ore that carries
from 300 to 1000 ounces of silver
to the ton By extending this tunnel
along the vein a distance of 300 ft.
a large cross-vein will be encounter
ed which shows on the surface a
good quality of milling ore and has
great possibilities from a producing
standpoint. At the intersection in
teresting developments may be ex
pected.

MORRIS BABY IS CALLED
END CAME UNEXPECTEDLY
The entire community was plung
ed in sorrow yesterday by the sud
- den and unexpected passing of Ri
i chard Berman, infant son of Mr.
' and Mrs. Richard C. Morris. Death
came without warning, during a
convulsion and so suddenly that
there was not time to summon med
ical aid.
The little fellow had been fret
i
ful for several days previously, but
this was attributed to teething, and
apparently was in perfect health
; yesterday morning while being
prepared for the morning bath. The
end came shortly after the bathing
had been concluded, taking the form
of convulsions. The child was a
little over five months old, and ap
peared unusually robust and of hap
py disposition.
The funeral will be held on Sun
day afternoon a: 1:30, at Union
hall, under the auspices of Nenana
Igloo, No. 17, Pioneers of Alaska,
of which body Mr. Morris is pres
ident. The lodge funeral service will
be used.
1 The parents have the heartfelt
sympathy of the entire community
I in their hour of bereavement.
, The little daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Thaggard Bueholz is critically
ill at the Government hospital and
will be removed to Anchorage pro
. bably tomorrow for an operation
1 in case it should develop that an
i operation will give relief
—
Roadmaster C. G. Jones is on an
inspection trip along the line south
of Nenana. He planned to go as far
as Curry.

CITY COUNCIL ARRANGES
TO KEEP HOSPITAL OPEN
As a result of action taken by the
city council, at the regular meeting
held Tuesday night, the Govern
ment hospital at Xenana will not
be closed immediately as had been
intended upon completion of the Ta
nana river bridge. The council has
been negotiating with the Alaskan
Engineering Commission for some
time >n an effort to prevent the
closing of the important institution
but has been unable thus far to
evolve a plan to meet the require
ments of the situation. Action ta
ken at the Tuesday meeting merely
will have the effect of prolonging
these negotiations until the return
of Col. Mears, when some decision
must be reached.
At the Tuesday meeting Mayor
Southworth was authorized to ap
prise Acting Chairm in William Ger
ig of the faet that tne council will
supply light, heat and water to
the hospital without charge during
the month of March or until such
time as a meeting can be had with
Col. Mears. As previously stated in
the columns of the News, the com
mission desi/es to withdraw from
the management of the hospital,
but will turn the hospital over to
j the town on very liberal terms.
Property To Be Sold
Acting upon the suggestion of
City Clerk Henshaw, the council
voted to proceed with the sale of
t-roperty upon which 'axes for last
ycai remain unpaid_ The property
must first be advertised for a per
iod cf weeks, after which the date
of sale will be fixed.
The superintendent of public ut
ilities reported a fuitner profit re
' suiting from the operation of the
city power plant during the month,
t but it was pointed out that a consid
| erable decrease in revenues might
be expected during March, owing to
the lengthened days and to the
closing of several Government build
ings in use by the bridge workers.
The finance committee, to which
was referred the matter of putting
the telephone plant on a paying
i basis, reported that the question
; would be given consideration at a
very early date.
The annual tax roll, which is
being prepared by City Assessor
C. D. Leckie. will be ready for
presentation to the council within
; a day or two, and the tax levy
probably will be fixed at the next
regular meeting. It is expected that
j the school board will have its bud
; get ready by that time.
