Outsider Property to be Developed The Outsider property, which is situated on the Portland Canal will be developed during the year by the Granby Company, said Mr. H, S. Munroe, in an interview with the Herald during the week. Mr. Munroe said that the, property is looking good and that 50 or 60 men would be working there in "about another mouth, and that most of these would be working underground. At present about 25 men are' emplos'ed. The pile- driving crew is already on the job and preparations are being made for the building of the new wharf. The slashing of the right-of-way for the aerial tram from mine, to wharf has been completed, • and a contract has been let to the Riblet Co. of Spokane, to build the tram line. The Riblet Co. built the long tram at the Premier Mine at Stewart. The tramline at the Outsider^will be about 6000 feet in length, and work will be commenced as soon as equipment can be assembled on the ground. A .Rogers' compressor will he installed, and also a water driven 100 k. w. generator for the purpose -of generating electric powers for s the motors. Mr. Palmer J. Cook) formerly of the Midas Mine at Valdez, Alaska, a property operated by the Granby •Co, will be in charge of operations. The Outsider is the oldcs); shipping property on the north coast and was operated by the^ Brown- Alaska Company in 1906, who shipped several, thousand tons of ore to Hedley smelter, in ,Alaska. The ore is pyritized quartz winch runs high in silica and which is needed by the Granby Co. for mixing with the Hidden Creek ores for fluxing purposes at the smelter. Dance at Alice Arm Coliseum A dance was held on Friday May 11th; at the Alice Arm Coh\ seum, to celebrate the opening'of the Hall for the summer. A good number of people were present and a very enjoyable evening was spent. The proprietors, Messrs. W. McDonald and V. Johnson were the hosts A first olass supper was served, of which there were lots of good things to eat, and lots to spare. Dancing was carried on until the early hours of the morning, and everyone voted the opening dance of the Coliseum a great success. Ore Shipped Last Year by the Esperanza The Esperanza Mine shipped last year) 231 tons of ore, from which the following values were obtained. Gold 22 ozs; silver 12, 128 ozs; copper 404 pounds; lead 1285 pounds. It is expeoted, however that this year's shipments will exceed "last year both as regards tonnage and value ' of ore. Weekly Meeting of Anyox Community League Council The regular weekly meeting of the Community League Counoil was held in the Recreation Hall on Friday, May 10th. Present: President Lewis, Vice-President Callanan, Seoretary-Treasurer Townshend, Councillors Mrs. Dwyer Mrs. Cloke, Dr. Harper and Mr. Simpson. The minutes of the preceding meeting were read and approved on motion of Dr. Harper, seconded by Mr. Callanan.' The Secretary's report stated that Mr. Moss of Alice Arm, would print the sport schedule for'the privilege of advertising on the back of the schedule. Mr. Jack Smith had promised to make estimate of ventilator installation in the Recreation Hall, and Mr. Geary had been along the. same lines. An invitation had been received from Stewart requesting the League to send baseball and football teams to Stewart for the 24th, of May. New footbaff nets have been ordered from Vancouver. The mattervof supplying lemons, etc. to the football players was discussed, the final decision being, to leave the matter to the Finance Committee. In connection with the ventilation of the picture sho*f, Mr. Geary had given the Secretary an approximate estimate of the cost of installation of 24in. fan with the motor. Mr. Selfe also had some figures, and had made some investigations. The Council decided to wire the Canadian Westinghouse Company, Vancouver - for . prices on two fans, one twenty-six and three quarters inches, the other thirty-twoauches. In connection, with the dance advertised by the Elks in the Recrecreation Hall for the night of the 23rd. of May, Mr. Townshend stated that he had been requested to take the matter of changing the show..date from Tuesday to Moiv day, up with the Council, so that there would be a chance to put up the decorations. The Council did not see their way clear to do this, and thought that these decorations might be done on Monday night. Mr. Callanan mentioned the matter of fixing the footpath aoross the creek on the trestle carrying the pipe-line. A great many sport fans used this way to the ball grounds, and if this wasn't, in repair they wouldn't attend. The Council decided that as the Company ' had no objection to the/ people going this way, that the League should undergo the expense of repairing it. Mr. Simpson told of what excellent prospects there were for first class football during the present season, and asked that first aid outfit be always on ground. The Secretary replied that the groundsman had been instructed to have bandages, etc., always on the ground. A report.from Mr. Bardwell, who audited the books of the Community Continued on page 4. Prosperous Times for Alice Arm Camp All signs point to a busy season for Alice Arm this summer. The logging camps are commencing to open up, and considerable , more men will be required for this industry, as the scope of operations are. widened, whioh will now be only a matter of a few days. Whilevno big ruining operations have yet commenced it is highly probably that next month will see several. companies undertaking development work. While no word has yet beeti reoeived regarding the plans of |;he Dolly Varden Properties Ltd. it is expected that company which was recently formed, will operate, the property this year. Other mining companies are becoming interested in i the camp, and this year should witness a renewal of mining activity of considerable proportions. ( A new bridge across the Kitsault River will be built this year by the Provincial government, which will employ a big crew of men for some months. Anyox trippers will visit Alice Arm this year in increasing numbers, now that pur wonderful climate, scenery, fishing «tc.. are better known. .So that taking all these things into Consideration Alice Arm will be, this summer, a 'live and prosperous tpwn.

Crawford, Alice Arm. Howard Molnnis arrived from Anyox on Tuesday, and will operate the donkey engine at the logging camp of Mr. J. Wheatley this summer. See Al. Falconer for Freight and Pack Horses. Mr. J. Wheatley expects to be ready to pull logs at the camp next week. Falling'of timber has been going on for some time, this work being done by contract by J. Sexton and J. Gray. The new building to be used as living quart- ersfor the" men is now finished, and logging operations will soon be in full swing. Fred Miller is getting out a number of timbers about three miles down the inlet. These timbers will be used by the Granby Co. at Anyox for trestle work. Timber falling is steadily proceeding at the Quartz Quarry and the pulling of logs will shortly commence. Carney & Co. are making a good showing at the hand logging camp at Way Point. A six ton hand winch will shortly be installed for pulling logs. A. Davidson and 0. Gustaffson arrived down from the Wild Cat property during the week, where they have been driving a prospecting tunnel. Chas Gustaffson will remain down for a few weeks. Mr. Henderson who arrived last week from Vancouver, left during the week to work on Ins claims up the Kitsault Valley. Mr. Julius Wilson, -an old-timer of the oamp arrived in town on Thursday. Mr. A. McGuire is busy painting his new residence, which adds considerable'beauty to the building. See Al. Falconer for Wood or Coal Mrs. E. M. McCoy appeared before stipendary magistrate J. Conway on Tuesday evening on' a charge of selling liquor in contravention, of the Liquor Act, • Accused was remanded for eight days and granted bail of $3,000 which was forthcoming. She was requested to appear at Anyox 'on Thursday, and was remanded for a further eight days on bail of $3,000, Owen Loftus and Mr; Wallace arrived from Anyox on Tuesday, and work is again proceeding on the Esperanza high grade, The Lone Maid property is, according to -latest reports, -looking very good. The tunnel is being driven on a white quartz vein which oarries good silver values, and the owners are very optimistic regarding the future of the property. We were always under the impression that the. special men employed by the Liquor board, to enforce1 the law, were a swift bunch who blew into a town, and nabbed all the males aud females who were selling liquor and then blew out like a young cyclone before any harm came to them. But since we have had a close-up view of their work our opinion has somewhat changed. It took them ten days in Alice Arm in order to get enough evidence to convict one house, and this house, by the way, is the only hotel in the town. If the Alice Arm Hotel is closed for the next six months, and there is a possibility of this being done, a great hardship will be worked upon the town. We are now at the commencement of a busy summer and travellers arriving will have no place to stop. Anyox trippers will be barred from staying overnight in our town, and the negotiations now being made by the Anyox Community League for the use of the building for camping purposes will fall through. If this is the kind of work these special . law enforcers pull off, no wonder they are treated with contempt by their fellow men. Last week we published a statement that Mr. E. P. Matheson, formerly of the Anaconda Copper Co. had accepted an appointment as consulting engineer on the staff of the Granby Co.* Since our last issue we have learned that Mr. Matheson is not on the staff of the Granby Co.

A few weeks ago two stool pigeons of the government liquor board arrived in Alice Arm, and registered at the leading hostelry. They stayed around for ten days, having a whale of a time, and gave it out that they were waiting for the new dam at Anyox to commence operations. After their departure they laid information against three members of the hotel staff, and convictions have followed. Any man who for a monetary consideration will endeavour to make his fellow men break the laws for the purpose .of informing on them is deserving of all the con- terriptable things one can say against him. The fact that these creatures are touring the province at the public expense, which must be considerable—if their visit to Alice Arm can be taken as a sample—is a public disgrace. If the law cannot be enforced without using such, despicable men and means to enforce it, we surely must be degenerating instead of advancing. Prevention is better than cure, and if the law had been strictly enforced when government control was first instituted, the inexcusable low-down methods of obtaining convictions would not exist. , Hon. E. D. Barrow, minister of agriculture, reports that the total number of cattle in British Columbia at December 31st. last was 105,070 but there were not sufficient cows to supply all the milk consumed in the province. Every encouragement is being given the industry by the minister and his officials and a marked increase in the number of cattle is looked for this year. The provincial forest branch reports the revenue from the sale of timber, timber licences, timber leases and scale and royality for April amounted to $225,776, as against $145,000 for the same month last year. Hon. T. D. Patullo reports the timber business in a flourishing condition and predicts a banner year for 1923. Victoria May Itth.—Hon. Dr. Sutherland, minister of public works, will leave Victoria in two weeks for an inspection of the highways of British Columbia, having in mind particularly the planning of $200,000 worth of settlers' roads. The minister favors the plan of encouraging settlement through the provision of adequate transportation facilities and many short roads to serve the hewer districts will be constructed. Matters of interest and representations from sportsmen and trappers from all over B. 0. are before the Game Board, which will, in due course, present a report and recommendations before the Attorney- General. Anyox Baseball Season Opens The Anyox Senior Baseball League opened on Monday evening in the presence of some 500 spectators. The contesting teams being the Mine and Smelter. The Smelter wej'o the first team to bat. The President of the Baseball League, Dr. D. R, Learoyd, being a medical man, performed the operation of opening the season. The Doctor did not consider a serious operation necessary as baseball had only been suffering from inerta since last season, which was quickly relieved by the administration of a pill. The first ball over the plate. Mathewson. the first man to bat knew that the Doctor would only ask him to take what was good for him, It was a strike, and Matheson met it on the nose, making first base. The Doctor then turned over the pitching to Jimmy Ferguson, D. Greenwell being behind the bat for the Mine. Curly McRowen was the Smelter second man to bat, and Brown followed with a bunt, bringing Matheson home. Cole hit next, McRowen home; Sinclair hits Brown home, the Smelter tallying three runs in the first innings, these being all they made during the game. The Mine went to bat, Curly McRowen pitching and his brother Charlie catching. Mealy led off for the Mine, making 1st. Greenwell with a two bagger assisted by wild throw to the catcher brought Mealy home, tallying the only run for the Mine during the game. The pitchers both seemed to be in good form, holding the batters down tha.t only ciphers appeared on the score board after the 1st. inning. The teams were:' Mine Smelter J; Ferguson P. McRowen D. Greenwell O. Chas. McRowen O. Olsen 1st. B. Sinclair C. Ferguson 2nd. B. S. McRowen Kornichunko 3rd. B. Matheson Mealy S. S. Browji Stewart . R. F. Cole Halverson 0. F. Sherman Anderson L. F.

Financial and Market News Financial and Market News gathered by private direct wires from the world's market centres by Burdick, Logan & Company, Limited 737, Granville Street, Vancouver, B. C. The whole question of the fisheries may be opened up between the United States and Canada. The matter is 6f great importance to Prince Rupert and elesewhore on the coast of B. 0. Dr. W. T. McDonald, provincial livestock commisioner, is inspecting dairy herds in the Fraser Valley. He says there is not enough milk to supply the needs of B. 0., and it is probable that steps will be taken to encourage dairying. B. C.'s mining production during the past year is estimated at more than thirty-five millions. Special to the Herald Copper Most producers ore holding at 16 7-8 cents a pound delivered but one important producer is quoting 16 3-4 cents and others would be willing to sell moderately at that price. Second hands have besn cutting price somewhat and have sold at prices equivalent to slightly under 16 5-8 cents delivered Connecticut valley point, Actual sales have been made at 16 3-8 cents refinery in last two days, while copper has been bought aside ship at 161-2 cents and slightly under. All this second-hand offering is of little importance and is due mainly to the small amount of copper that each month gets into the hands of speculative interests upon which they must either make payment by end of this month, or specify destination by tenth of next month. Total amount of under-market offering is probably not much more than 2,000,000 pounds as a liberal estimate. Largest individual second-hand sale this week has been 350,000 pounds, and most sales that are being talked about so much are in a carload lots of around 25 to 30 tons or 50,000 to 60,000 pounds. Boston—Lever'Bros. Co. earned in 1922 after charges £4,625,000 which at exchange rate of $4.65 means $21,500,- 000. Share capital being $235,000,000, earnings figures something more than 90 per cent, on stock, Inventory item dropped from $16,800,000 to $13,200,000 while notes and accounts payable were reduced from $22,000;000 to $4,000,000 largely made by sale of $4,000,000 of additional debentures.
