[Three Mining Properties Bonded at Alice Arm The, David Copperfield mining property, which joins the Dolly I Varden* on the south, lias been I bonded to eastern oapital, for the sum of $75,000. Payments are to run over four years, The first ''. payment to be made one year from [date of bonding. Considerable ; stripping of the leads has . been I done on the property and a tunnel has been driven about 25 feet above the Kitsault river. The property consists of the David Copperfield; No. 1 and the Silver Bell fraction, and is owned by Wm. McLean, of Alice Arm, A. E. Wright, of Prince Rupert, and R. F. McGinnis, of Alice Arm. i It was staked in 1914, by Geo. Young and Wm. McLean. When Mr. Young went overseas with the 0. E. P. in,1916, he sold his interest to the late Mr. Chas. Swanson. Mr. A. E. Wright of Prince Rupert acquired Mr. Swanson's interest in 11919. Mr. R. F. McGinnis holds [ one-tenth interest in the property. According to the agreement, work is to commence within three months and will consist this coming winter of driving a tunnel Con- siderable.development work will be done next summer in order to prove up the property. The same company has also bonded the Silver Bar group situated oh the north-east fork of the Kitsault River and owned by Mr. A. McGuire, for the sum of $75,000 The Silver Bar consists of 8 claims. The Waverly group, consisting of three claims, also situated on the north-east fork of the Kitsault River has been bonded by Mr; McGuire for the sum of $30,000.1 Payments on these two properties are spread over three years. First pasmient to be made one year from signing the agreement. No work, except assessment work has been done on these two properties. The name of the company bonding these three properties can not be ascertained. It is known that eastern capital is interested, and it is reported that Cobalt mining companies are in the deal. Eight Persons are Thrown into the Kitsault River Hand Car Jumps the Track on Dolly Varden Railway A accident that might have ended in serious results, took place last Sunday on the Dolly Varden Railway, when a hand car carrying eight persons left the track and plunged into the Kitsault River, carrying all the passengers with it. The accident took place about five miles above the town of Alice Arm, and was due to the river undermining the track. The car was proceeding towards town and struck the bad spot when rounding a curve, before the car could be stopped it left the track and precipitated everyone into the icy waters of the Kitsault River. Luckily they were thrown into a backwater of the driver or there probably would have been airbus loss of life, as the river was in flood at the time. As it was, everyone managed to scramble out, except Major Creighton, of the Homestake mine, who was hanging to a snag calling for help. It was impossible to get him from where he was, so he let go and caught a sweeper log farther down and was pulled out by Jack Anderson and Jim Donald. Mrs. R. F. McGinnis, who was married a few weeks ago was among the number. She displayed great presence of mind, and did not seem to mind the water at all. She was one of the first to get ashore, being an expert swimmer and wanted to assist in rescuing those still in the water. As it was impossible to rescue the car, everyone had to walk home and no time was wasted in covering the five miles to Alice Arm. Those on the hand car were: Mrs. R. F. McGinnis; J. Fiva; J. Anderson; Major Creighton; J. Donald; H. Bbwkett; Dr. Bancroft, of Anyox 'and an eleotrician of Anyox;' First Class Copper Showings at Anyox Mr. W. Hanna has uncovered some fine copper showings on his claims joining the Hidden Creek mine. The ledge can be traced on the surface for a distance of 3000 feet, with an average width of 60 feet. It is pronounced by those who have examined it as one of the finest showings in the country. The property consists of 14 claims. Bush fires which burnt considerable of the muskeg has made the prospecting of the ground much easier. Anyox Community League Meeting The newly elected council of the Anyox Community League, held their first weekly meeting at the Recreation Hall, on Friday, October 7th, when all the councillors Were present with the exception of Mr. E. Wall, who was otherwise engaged on the important business of getting ore out of the Hidden Creek mine. Secretary Brown opened the proceedings with the announce,- ment that the first order of business was the selection of president of the League. Mr. R. Armour, the only member of the retiring council to hold office, was unanimously eleoted President. Mr. F. Hatt, one of the mine representatives was elected Vice-president, thereby dividing the senior offices between the two sections of the camp. Mr. H. Lowry being selected, for secretary-treasurer. Numerous members of the League were present, but there was room for many more andjt is the desire of the council that the members of the League should attend these meetings in full force so that the council may know the opinion of the people on any matter which may be brought up. The council are there to serve the community and the co-operation of all members is necessary and essential to obtain the best results. The .most important matter brought up was that of the launching of a drive for new members. The membership at present' is in the neighbourhood of 450, and there are something like 900 or 1000 names on the company payrolls. It was pointed out that the membership fee was 50 cents per month, that small amount surely could not be the reason for people not becoming members, for any person imbued with the, real community spirit would not consider that point whatever. The object of the League is the greatest amount of good for the greatest number of the community and by having every person in the community a member of the League may that object be realized. Work Proceeding at the Dolly Varden Mine Work on the raise that is being driven to strike the new ore body at the Dolly Varden mine, is still going ahead, and ore is expected to be struck now at any time. The present working staff will be considerably increased as soon as ore is encountered. The damage caused by the recent storms on the railroad will be repaired and the work will probably be done by contract. More Ore is Located at the Moose Mine And Work is Being Rapidly Pushed .(Ahead Further evidence of the richness of the mineral deposits of the Kitsault Valley was shown last week when high grade ore was struck on the Moose property, by Don Cameron. The find was made in the lower tunnel, in driving a crosscut, at a distance of 140 feet from the portal. The depth obtained is also 140 feet. The cross-cut at present shows the lead to be 18 feet in width, with low grade on the foot-wall, and the values increasing towards the hanging wall. The last five, feet of the crosscut driven averages 34.2 ozs. silver per ton and character samples have.assayed 240 ozs. silver per ton. The width of the lead has not yet been determined as ore is still in sight, but work is proceeding as rapidly as possible to cut through the lead. Considerable work has also been done on the upper tunnel this summer, which is at an elevation of 2310 feet. Work was commenced on driving a tunnel and the lead was encountered at a distance of 30 feet. The lead was'then- drifted on for 50 feet. Samples of ore that was taken on the whole of the 50 feet shows an average of 21 ozs. silver per ton. Cross-cuts will be driven on this lead to determine the exact width of the ore. body, which is estimated to be from ten to twenty feet. The depth obtained on this ore body is 60 feet. The lead has been traced on the surface for a distance of 650, feet. The Moose property has always been regarded as one of the most promising properties on the upper Kitsault River. The work done this summer proves conclusively that it contains immense bodies of ore and there is no doubt that the work being now done will still further prove the richness of the property. The owners of the property are to be congratulated on, the energetic manner in which they have carried on development work this summer; and it again proves that systematic development work brings'fesults. Owing to the difficulty of getting full details, we were unable to publish the above in our last issue.—Editor. Meeting of Ex- Service Men held at Anyox The returned sailors and soldiers held a well attended meeting in the Recreation Hall, on Wednesday, October 12th. The Rev. J. Herd- man was in the chair.

The papers for petitioning the government for highway connections between Alice Arm and the Naas Valley are now in circulation and when they are completed will be forwarded to Victoria. It is the duty of every citizen in this district to sign their names and help the good work along. We started out with the intention of persuading the government to give us connections with the Naas Valley and the great interior of northern B. C. and it is up to everyone to do their utmost to bring it to a successful issue. Sign your name and get others to sign and let us send a petition to Victoria that will carry some weight. Nearly all the newspapers and pediodicals of the north have published news items regarding the proposed road and some have commented on it editorially, and it is conceded by all that it is worthy of support. This portion of the province has always been neglected when appropriations were made for roads and trails and it is time we brought the fact to the notice of the government. If we don't bring these things to their notice and point out to them the advantages to be derived from opening up this part of the province they will naturally think we are satisfied and that the district is sufficiently supplied with roads and trails. A certain amount of money is spent every year on road and trail work and if we have not got enough energy to claim a fair share of it, some other part of the province that has a more progressive spirit will get it. Anyox Community League. The new councillors of the immunity League have been elected and have held their first meeting. They have elected their president and vice-president and have apparently settled down to business. We wish the present council every success during their term of office and trust that they will use good sound judgement in dealing with the different problems that "arise. We also hope that they will profit by the mistakes of their predecessors and avoid unpleasantness at all times. Anyox Liquor Store. The one outstanding feature in regard to the liquor store at Anyox is that it has not been opened yet. The trouble seems to be, who shall be the vendor. If the people of Anyox are going to squabble about who is to hand out the booze they, don't deserve a store at all. It is evident the people of Anyox are not very anxious to have a liquor store, if they were they would'nt quibble over who is to stand behind the counter and dish up the booze. Alice Arm is the logical place for the liquor store, it is an open town, a • prosperous and growing town and a town with a wonderful future, and Alice Arm will guarantee to have the store running within a week after it is located there. Good Times. Don't walk around with a sour look and a mournful expression. Cheer up. Copper is rising in price and so is silver. The present depression has taught us one lesson; economy. Profit by it when times are good. Recent Storms Does Damage at Alice Arm The two rain storms that visited this district recently did considerable damage to the Dolly Varden Railroad and the Government trails and bridges, and also menaced the town of Alice Arm. The first storm struck the district on Sunday, October 2nd. and was one of the heaviest rainfalls ever experienced in the district. It did considerable damage to the Dolly Varden Railroad, Paul Kladuc Creek bridge being washed out and the bridge across West Creek was severely damaged. It also washed out cribbing along the railroad and brought down several slides. The Kitsault river rose five feet in three hours on Sunday evening and at 11 p.m. two feet of water was running over the top of the wing dam, which is situated a short distance above the town. Several families fearing the dam would not hold, left their homes on the flats and slept at the hotel, which is situated on the hillside. No sooner had everyone settled down than another rainstorm hit the district. It started on Wednesday, October 12 and continued until Saturday morning. It was at its worst on Friday night and Saturday morning brought a break in the clouds. This storm added to the damage already done by the previous one. Numerous slides and washouts are reported along the Dolly Varden Railroad, the biggest slide being at Mud Creek Canyon. The cable and cage across the Kitsault River at Alice Arm, was swept away. Several slides are reported on the Illiance River trail and two or three bridges have been washed out. About 2000 feet of trail has also been washed out on the northeast fork of the Kitsault River. The water *on Friday afternoon again cominenoed to run over the top of the wing dam above the town, and, Friday night found several families vacating their homes to spend the night at the hotel. At daylight on Saturday morning a foot of water was flowing over the top of the dam, but the storm was breaking and the water commenced to subside. It was lucky for the residents of Alice Arm that the dam held firm and also the pile of driftwood at the end of the dain. If either of these had given way, it is certain a , big proportion of Alice Arm would have been washed out. The dam is first-class, what there is of it, and it proved that it can stand a big volume of water, but it is not long enough and had the pile of drift wood at the end given way nothing would have stopped the river from cutting through and flooding the town. The dam should certainly be extended as soon as possible and it should be done in the winter when the water is low in the river. If it is not done the river will eventually break through, and when it • does a lot of valuable property will be lost and possibly s»lso a number of lives.

Kergin, M.L.A., arriv- loine on Monday from his trip trough the northern portion of ;he Atlin constituency. He left 'Mice Arm on September 3rd, and .rrived home on October 10th. lie had a very enjoyable trip and l.he enormous recources of the lorth was a revalation to him. Following is an account of the Ifirip as he related it himself: I had a very enjoyable and inter- listing trip. Arriving in Atlin on (September 9th, via Skagway and parcross. , The scenery all the way is very [beautiful and in and about Atlin [it is wonderful Trips can be jiuade to many points of interest over tine motor roads in the latest I(models of touring cars. The coun- J try is especially adapted for good •jjroad making,' being mostly gravel and in many cases needs only brushing out. Placer mining was (; in progress and I was assured that the season was expected to be a i successful one. All kinds of game are very j plentiful, including, moose, cariboo, | sheep, goat, bear, all kinds of J grouse and rabbits, and the lakes I are teeming with fish, "I It is truly a country of plenty f and its scenery and glorious climate is drawing an ever increasing number of tourists oaoh year. There is not one moment of hardship or monotony in the making of the whole trip. The scenery is varied and ever-changing, the transportation is the best in the world and the hotels are the last word in comfort. Lleft Atlin on September 27th. and had intended to make a trip into the Telegraph Creek Country via Wrangell, but on account of, bad weather the boat was late in arriving at Wrangell and I lost connections there. The boat up the Stikine River left on the last trip of the season. I was therefore forced to abandoii my trip for this year. The main industry is placer mining and to date an enormous quantity of gold has been produced, but I believe that in that respect the country is in its infancy yet. Lode mining is making slow progress on account of lack of transportation, but it will only be a matter of time when this district will be one of the greatest mining districts in the' world. Another important industry is fox farming, in fact I believe one of the largest fox farms in Canada is situated within four miles of the town of Atlin. •-■ The more I see of this large and wealthy district which I have the honor of representing in the Provincial Legislature the prouder I feel. Phis electoral district will never have to take second place to any in the province. , I ♦+4>4--f+++44++>+>++>+^M^*444-4-f4>*>4-^44>^+++>-f-f • +mt Alice Arm Freighting Co.

The mine closed down earlier than the management expected and was due to the exceptional early fall of snow at the Kitsault Glacier. The work done on the property this summer has been highly satisfactory. Ore was encountered in the No. 1 tunnel at a distance of 115 feet and ore was in sight when operations ceased, so that it is impossible to estimate the size of the ore body. It is the intention of the Home- stake Mining Co. to commence operations next spring about the first week in May and considerable development work will be undertaken next summer. Building Brisk at Alice Arm Several new buildings are in course of construction and several more are being built larger. , Mr. 0.
