At the close of the meeting, preparations wore made for'.an evening's entertainment, in which the
ladies of the' Elks took part. It
commenced with the old-fashioned
game of Musical Chairs. The
game commenced with over 80
contestants, .and amidst great
excitement and hilarity Mrs. Mc-
I Kenna, and Mr. MoKinnon were
declared the winners, a feat which
needed considerable agility. Parlor
football, which was played with
toy balloons with the players
seated,- was a game, brimfull. of
merriment, pretty to watch and
exciting tOjplay.
The supper call found everyone
1 on their way to the dugout, where
the seats were quickly filled and
the dishes emptied of "their delicious
contents. Before the onslaught on
the eatables was made, Mr. Kenneth Ferguson, past exalted ruler
i of Victoria Lodge No. 2, gave a
short and concise address, in which
he explained the high' aims and
| ambitions of the B: P. 0. Elks, and
j gave everyone present some sound
advice.
Dancing was now, the order of
| the evening, and the gay   party
■ were soon skimming. the floor to
the tune of the A. 1 prchestra,
whioh was composed of Messrs.
Haesler, piano; Prevost, banjo-mandolin; Tynmouth, drums. A speoial
feature of the evening was the
dancing of the "Highland Fling"
by Misses Kathleen and Irene
Bruggy of Alice Arm, the olever
dancing of the little tots drawing
rounds of applause.
From start to finish it was a
night   of  merriment, and amply
proved that the Elks as entertainers are a live aggregation; * Those
responsible for the evening's success
were:   Roll   Call   Committee,  S.
Down, B. Buck, Rev. 3. B. Gibson,
J R.   Armour.    Sooial Committee:

Smelter Baseball
,   Team Give Dance
On Friday. April 27th, the new
gymnasium was the scene of a
dance given by the Smelter Baseball Club, the first of its kind to be
held in the Gym. ,and a most successful affair it was, both from the
point of view of numbers present
and the enjoyment derived. Players and supporters of other teams
were present to' help make the
Smelter dance a success.
The CI lib annonnced that they
wanted 300 people to attend, and
judging by the appearance of the
assemblage there must have beeu
at least that number present.
An augmented orchestra, under
the direction of Mr. Liddel, six
pieces in all, dispensed music whioh
seemed to have just the proper
flavor, which created a desire for
more. Several numbers having to
be repeated six or seven times.
A dainty supper was served, to
which everyone did justice. Dancing continued until 2 a.m.
The management and members
of the Smelter Baseballers wish to
extend their sincere thanks to' the
ladies who kindly prepared the
supper for the dance. The Committee of ladies were: Mrs. D. Roy
(convener,) Mrs. F. Bardwell, Mrs.
A.. Crone, Mrs. 0. K. Dwyer, and
Mrs. J. W. Esplin.

Monthly Meeting of
Alice Arm Citizens'
Association
The regular monthly meeting of
the Alice'Arm Citizens' Association
was held in the Anglican Church,
[on Saturday evening. President
C. P. Riel presided.
The minutes of the preceding
meeting'were read, by the secretary,
T. W. Falconer and on a motion
of H. Fowler seconded by G.
Matheson they were adopted as
read..
A letter was read from A MacKay, inspector of .fisheries, Prince
Rupert, regarding stocking various
lakes with fish, Considerable
correspondence was read regarding
the Kitsault River bridge, which
included a letter from H. F. Kergin
M. L. A. stating that the bridge
would be built this year.
A motion was made by H. Fowler that a vote of thanks be given
A. D- Yorke, for his services in
drawing up plans, and supplying
data of lakes to be stocked with
fish. These plans had been forwarded to the fisheries department.
The motion also included a vote of
thanks ,: to M. Merson," ' T.''W.:
Falconer, and others, who undertook the work of packing and
shipping the ore samples destined
for the British Columbia House,
London.  ' :')
. A suggestion was made by H.
Fowler that the Association place
an advertisement in an outside
newspaper stating that there was
a good opportunity^ here for. a
woman to suscessfully operate a
laundry.
The Chairman stated that it
was his opinion that.the time was
ripe for the installation pf a water
system to supplythe needs of the
town. He favored a community
system, whereby all, the people of
the town supplied the labor volunr
tary, The water could be taken
from.Falls Creek, and; if a flume
was built through the woods to a
convenient dam site, and pipes used
from the end of the flume, the
total cost of flume and pipe would
be only $375.00 Considerable discussion ensued as to the feasibility
of the i/project, several members
were of the opinion that if everyone
in the town pledged; their support
that the scheme could be carried
through, while others thought that
the present time was a little too
early. No decision was arrived at,
and the matter will undoubtedly
be brought up at a later date.

Development Work
on the Lone Maid
Messrs; J. Murdoch and E.
Skoglund, who received a contract
during the winter to drive a 10,0-ft.
tunnel on the Lone Maid property,
have finished their contract. This
tunnel was driven with the object
of striking the Alice ledge, ""which
orosses the Lone Maid. The tunnel,
however, did not strike the ore body
and since high values have oeen
proven on the ore ledge already
drifted on, it has been decided to
follow that ledge with the hope of
encountering a larger body of high
grade ore. J. Murdoch has commenced drifting op this ledge, and
the development- work will be
watched with considerable interest
Samples recently taken from this
ledge have given 238 ozs. silver and
$12.0,0 gold per ton. The ledge
now being drifted on is the one
which gave the unusual high assay,
of 307 ozs. of gold per ton, so far,
no more of this ore has been
located.
New Strike on
Banker Hill Group
During the week, Jim Calvin
brought in some fine specimens of
silver ore from the Blinker Hill
Group. The samples were taken
on the surface from a new ledge
which he recently, discovered the
extent of whioh is not yet known.
Assays will be made as soon as
possible; The ore is identical to
that found on the LaRose which
gave oyer 1000 ozs. silver per ton.
The Bunker Hill joins the LaRose.

appointed by the Granby, Company
as one of its representatives, the
other being Mr. Wing. It had
been decided that this committee

the Council that he was perfectly
willing to continue this work until
such time as the League's finances
warranted the additional outlay.
Mr. Simpson, Mr. Callanan and
Mrs. Dwyer thought that this was
the best way, considering that the
books were to be audited every
three months.

Seoretary stated that Mr. J. Miller
had agreed to open and close the
gymnasium when required and

use of the fare boxes in connection
with the Pool Room. The chairman replied that these had proved
satisfactory. The councillors
present agreed that the installation
of these as well as the appointment
of a cashier to the picture show had
been good business. Mrs. Dwyer

in the notice board in front of the

Committee should investigate the
matter with a view to remedying

Jones moved that the band be
given a donation of $20.00 a month

with the .baud when the whole
matter could be discussed and an
understanding arrived at, and Mrs.

if a deputation from the band
waited on the Council. This was
agrbed to.   ,

of a concert sometime in June on
the lines of the one which had proved so successful a short time ago.

Consolidated  Mining  and

, Net profits of $1,477,528 were earned
(by the Consolidated Mining and
[j Smelting pompany of Canada in 1922,
whose smelter is at Trail, according to
[the report of the directors, James J.
'Warren, president. This is after
leaking care current development,
Idepreciation of plant 'and capital
[renewals, depletion of property and
[paying interests on bank loans. The
[sum is comparable with net profits of
[0,048 in 1021. Smelter products
I were sold for $9,578,201, Ores in transit and.on hand were $2,023,763, on
I; December 81st.
After providing for bond interest
|the remainder, $1,228,329, was trans-
E'ferred to profit and loss account." says
[President Warren. "The-year was
I the most favorable one for some time.
The domestic demaud was somewhat
I better and at higher prices. The surplus production was absorbed by for-
feign markets at fair prices..
The output ot lead', /.ine and silver
I was quite satisfactory, both as to
J quantity and cost. Conditions at the
| Sullivan mine continue to be favorable.
Virtually nothing was done in your
[• copper and copper-gold properties,
1 The improved copper position justified
1 the further development of these
■ properties and it is planned to do so.

The secret of
good beer lies
in purity—
That's why Cascade Beer has for 35 years
been British Columbia's favorite health
beverage. No expense has been spared to
ensure purity. It has cost a million doL
' lars to build a plant to accomplish this.
Bi^t after testing Cascade Beer, you" agree
that it has been worth it.
