DRY DOCK SCORES BASKETBALL WIN Travelers Show Lack of Defence and Combination—Men do Not Hold Positions. WANT MORE FREQUENT SERVICE FOR MAILS That the Premier mine is mak- ing regular shipments of ore from the mine to the salt water. and that the second cargo for the Tacoma Smelter is now ready for transportation is the word brought from Stewart by D. L. Pitt, assistant manager of the Premier Gold Mining Co., Ltd., who was in the city yesterday. The company, which is con- trolled by the American Smelting & Refining Co., better known as the Guggenheims, has eight four- horse teams on the road all the time hauling the sacked ore in sleighs to tidewater. Since the noad froze up they have never missed a day in making a ship- ment. The-tractor they imported was not a success, Mr. Pitt says that a short time ago they had a crew of sixty men working, but about half of them were let out. This has reduced the output somewhat, but ship- ments conlinue to be made regu- larly. It is necessary to keep the sleighs going over the road in order to prevent snowing up. High Values. The ore being shipped is very similar in values to that sent to the smelter last year, which brought from $300 te $400 a ton. The first cargo shipped this year was about 300 tons. It went south by the G, T. P. steamer. Mr. Pitt says that they are bad- ly in need of a more frequent boat service. People are already beginning to go into the country and by spring he expects a big influx, His mine will employ sev- eral hundred men. Just now they could put on a few. Dock for Hyder. A new company has been form- ed to build a dock at Hyder. A site has already been selected and something is likely to be done soon. A launch is running be- tween Hyder and Ketchikan. Mr. Pitt thinks that Canadians will not be well advised if they do not at once put on a good service and build a good dock.
