Anyox Winners of Fine
Spectacular Hockey
Game
Breaking up and down the ice
at breakneck pace before the. largest
crowd of funs of the season at the
Alice Arm skating rink on Sunday'
Anyox emerged victorious with
seven counters against their opponents five.
The battle was as fine an exhib
ition of hockey as has been seen ou
tho rink for many a day. The
players were somewhat inclined
to "hog the puck," but brilliant
flashes of combination play were
also in evidence
Anyox brought over an almost
'entirely new team, and for the
majority it was their appearance
on the local rink. Alice Arm were
minus Al. Falconer, T. W. Falconer, and Bert Kergin, their places
being filled by T. Crompton, ,T.
Hutton and J. Wilson.
For almost the entire game both
teams battled on even terms. Alice
Arm were the first to get Iheir
shooting eyes, scoring within three
niiiuites of the commencement.
They repeated the trick within a
few minutes.
Anyox ■ players, who were #8
speedy a bunch a« ever came up the
inlet, commenced to get down to
business, and they captured three
goals in one, two, three order. The
close of the period saw Anyox 3,
Alice Arm 2.
The second period was 'brim full
of excitement. Both teams uncorked a rain of shots ou the goals, and
brilliant defensive tactics and quick
work of the goal keepers were
responsible for keeping down the
score.
Anyox bulged the twine twice
with hot shots. They had now
settled down to real hockey and
considering their lack of- practice
and unfamiliarity with each others
play they worked wonders. They
played good hockey and deserved
every goal they got.
Alice Arm players were tireless,
j they rallied to the attack, and shared
I equally in the honors, and before
the end of the period they flicked
[ the puck past McLellan.
The third period was the most
exciting of the game. Both teams
threw every ounce of energv into
the game. Brilliant dashes were
made, first one team shining and
then the other. Alice Arm were
the first to put the puck where it
belonged. Anyox bulged the
twine directly after, Alice Arm
again scoring aud Anyox following
suit. The end of the game saw
Anyox winners by the score of 7
to 5.    "
The game was full of thrills
J from start to finish. It was in
doubt until tlie. last goal was
scored. The teams were almost
evenly matched, with Anyox hav-
ng a slight advantage over their
opponents.
Among the Anyox team are
some apoedy, tricky players, who
understand the game. Beaulieu
was their star forward. He played a dashing game and packed a
wicked shot. McLellan in goal
ivas a tower of strength to his
learn.
For the home team, Gus Ander-
ion and Crompton were the bright
ights. They played a fast game
md cut loose on the puck for a
;oal at every opportunity.
It ia hoped that Anyox will visit
he camp many times before the
■eason closes.   They have a string
1)f players which any town may
veil be proud, and they are always
asured of a hearty welcome when

Canadian Authors and
Poets Theme  of
Address
Mr. Walter McRaye, the well
known Canadian orator, who has
lectured on Canadianism from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, addressed a
large audience at the Recreation
Hall, on Monday evening.
This is the second time Mr. McRaye has appeared on the Anyox
platform. His discourse was entirely different, and was greatly
enjoyed by all those present. He
is au eloquent speaker, and handled
his subject in a masterly manner.
He was introduced by the Rev. C.
D. Clarke,
Mr. G. Crow rendered several
piano selections during the evening
which were very much appreciated.
The subject chosen for his address
was "'An Evening with Canadian
Writers," and it was pointed out
there are over 300 authors on Canadian subjects.
Mr. McRaye in his opening remarks dwelt on the history of the
printing press in lower Canada,
which made its first appearance in
1606, and came into commercial
use in 1742 in the province of Nova
Scotia
Among the most noted-Canadian
authors which the speaker brought
before the attention of the audience
were Dr. Drummond, A. M. Steven
Bliss Cannon, Isabell Echestone
McKay. Marjorie L. C. Pickthall,
Jean Blewett, Lawren Harris,
|,Virna Sheard, Thomas O'Hagan,
Mary Josephine Bensen, Bernard
Freeman Trotter, Donald G.
French, E. Pauline Johnson (Teka-
hionwake) and Mabel Burkholder,
Robert Service, Wilson McDonald.
Mr. McRaye recited Dr. Drum-
mond's poems "Habitant", "Little
Bateese", "Habiteese came Home",
much to the amusement of those
present. These were delivered and
given in'full expression in the
broken jargon of the French Canadian. Another item which proved
of special interest to those who have
resided'iu British Columbia for a
number of years was the delivery
of the poem of E, Pauline Johnson
(Tekahionwake) "Yaada," who was
supposed to be the loveliest daughter of the Haida tribe and many of
theyoungbraves from all thelslauds
from the mainland and the Upper
Skeena country came hoping to
carry her to their far off lodges,
but they always returned alone,
but according to tradition, there
was one Indian brave named Ulka
who alone found favour iu Yaada's
eyes.
Mr. McRaye was very pointed in
his remarks iu the lack of interest
shown by the Canadian people in
the majority of cases of their tai-di-
ness in. purchasing any product
manufactured in Canada, if we
as practical pioneers of this glorious country of ours are to build
up this Canada, it becomes everybody to be first class boosters
and purchase those things which
was produced in the Dominion. In
the course of his remarks he dwelt
on the Canadian Clubs which are
to be found in the various cities of
Canada, which are practically institutions oarried on who bear the
name of the oountry, but have not
the spirit of enthusiasm of Canada
at heart.
The fans who accompanied the
Anyox Hockey team to Alice Arm
last Sunday spent a very enjoyable
time on the rink before and after
the game. The ice was in good
condition and everyone was skating, ALICE   ARM   AND   ANYOX   HERALD,   Friday,   January   15   1927

An article, written by P. A.
O'Farrell dealing with the developments and future prospects of
British Columbia, recently appeared in the Financial Times of
Montreal. In dealing with the
mining industry the writer stated
that the Premier Co. of Stewart
pays more income tax than all the
farmers of Alberta, Saskatchewan
and Manitoba combined. Were
it not, he says, for the exorbitant
income tax the Premier would be
milling 1200 tons of ore per day
instead of 400. He further states
that in Quebec where no income
tax is levied, gold mining development is being pushed with extraordinary rapidity. This article has
been copied extensively by British
Columbia newspapers and mining
journals; also by western U. S. A.
mining journals. We believe that
it was written to further the mining
interests of Quebec and Ontario,
to the discredit of British Columbia. Mr. O'Farrell did not also
state that although the Premier Co.
have not enlarged their milling capacity, the Granby Co. has almost
doubled theirs during the past year,
and also commenced the operation
of a new property at Copper
Mountain. He also did not stress
the enormous increased output of
the Consolidated Co. at Trail and
Kimberley, or the increased output
of the Britannia; neither did he
mention that the Premier Co. were
bonding new properties in British
Columbia. He did not mention
other big properties that were
being developed by the big companies, or the big expansion of the
industry during the past year.
His policy evidently was to place
British Columbia at a disadvantage
in comparison with Quebec and
Ontario and such tactics are to be
deplored. Is it any wonder this
rich Dominion does not show more
rapid development when one section of the country is boosted at
the expense of the other. We admit that mining taxes are high, too
high, especially for a mine in the
early stages, but it is not stilling
the industry to the extent that Mr.
O'Farrell would have us believe.
It must be remembered that the
government is under a  heavy ex-

been even prospected; 200,000 square miles of unexplored mineral bearing land are open for prospecting.
The Mining Laws of this Province are more liberal and the fees lower than those of any other Province
in the Dominion, or any Colony in the British Empire.      .
Minerallocations are granted to discoverers for nominal fees.   ,
Absolute Titles are obtained by developing such properties, security of which is guaranteed by
Crown Grants, .     .
Practically all British Columbia Mineral Properties upon which development work has been dono
are described in some one of the Annual Beports of the Minister of Mines. Those considering
mining investments should refer to such reports. They are available without charge on application

Expansion  of   Mining
Industry in B. C.
Remarkable
Province   Contains   Largest
Dividend Payer in Canada
Dividends declared by public
companies engaged in mining in
British Columbia show an increase
of nearly $3,000,000 for 1926 over
1925, the respective amounts being
$9,051,645 compared with $6,072,-
465. Dividends of private companies are not given but would add considerable to the figures. This is
one of the encouraging features of
British Columbia mining in the past
year, says E. A. Haggen, in the
Daily Province.
It is expected that the directors of
the Granby Consolidated Mining,
Smelting & Power Co. will declare
»a dividend of 3 per cent, for the past
year. If so, this will add another
$1,034,409 to the above. The
profits now being made by the mineral industry are remarkable. The
dividends represent an increase of
50 per cent, over the previous year,
and amount to about 15 per cent,
on the total value of the mineral
production. They prove the mineral industry to be the most profitable
field of capital investment in British

the copper 93 per cent of the  lead,
and a similiar proportion of the zinc
produced   by the entire  Dominion

Production of refined lead now
reaches 400 tons a day at Trail
smelter and the zinc refinery is being
increased to a capacity of 280 tons
per clay.
Trail smelter produced for this
year 10 per cent, of the world's output of lead and 7 per cent of the
world's output of zinc.
Thanks to the development of
the lead industry in British Columbia Canada now ranks fourth in
lead-producing countries, being
surpassed only by the United States,
Mexico and Spain. As a producer
of zinc, to which credit is due to
British Columbia, Canada also holds
fourth place in world rank, being
surpassed by Belgium, Germany,
and Australia.
The Sullivan Mine has been for
two years the largest producer of
silver in Canada. Prior to that the
Premier Mine was the leader.
Last year the increase in the
mineral production of British Columbia was 16 per cent., as compared with 7.1 percent., for the entire
Dominion.
Metallurgical developments were
exceptionally important during the
past year. Granby increased its
milling capacity at Anyox from
1200 to 3000 tons, and raised production of copper from that plant
to about 35,000,000 lbs. of copper
per annum. This company also
brought the Allenby mill at Princeton to full production of about
25,000,000 lbs. of copper per annum.

Tuesday. Following the business
part of the programme, Mr. Walter
McRaye provided an entertainment
in his own inimitable style 'Can

poignant remarks illuminated his
wake-up Canadian ideals. He
urged that Dominion Day in 1927
be something very special for the
children as this year's celebration
was the Diamond Jubilee of Confederation.
Mr. J. Kania contributed to the
programme with a violin solo,
accompanied by Mrs. Pynn, at the
piano. An encore number was
greatly appreciated.
Mr. Hartley, principal of the
Public Schools was elected to till
the vacancy of convenor of the
programme committee. A nursery
roll will be purchased for Miss
Andrews who will use this in primary department lessons. Mrs. ,W.
F. Eve, Mrs. Barclay, and Mrs. J.

BIRTH  AT ANYOX
Born to Mr. and Mrs. T. Gazzola
at the Anyox Hospital on Tuesday,
January 18th. a son.
The Alice Arm Skating Rink
was a scene of gaiety on Saturday
evening, when a programme of

number of such evening during the
winter.
Hockey League Games
Commenced This Week
The Alice Arm Hookey League
commenced their schedule on Monday evening, when the Timber
Wolves met the Tigers. Two periods were played, and in that time
the Wolves notched ten counters,
while the Tigers failed to find the
net.
The Tigers were forced to put a
weak team on the ice, being without the services of T. W. Falconer,
and H. Butler. They were overwhelmed from the commencement
and played a defensive game
throughout. Seven goals were
recorded against them in the first
period and three in the second.
The teams were: Timber Wolves,
goal, J. Hanna; Crompton, Hutton, Erickson, Vaughn.
Tigers: goal, Aubusson; Wilson,
Yorke, Strombeek, Moss, De-
Gronchy.
On Wednesday evening the
Wildcats and Tigers fought for two
periods. The score being 5-3 in
favor of the Wildcats. One lone
Tiger was on the ice at the face-off,
but the team was brought up to
full strength by playera from other
teams.
It was an interesting game, with
both teams working hard, and each
getting a equal share of the game.
The teams were: Wildoats. goal.
P. Williamson; Anderson, Wilson,
Yorke. Fowler.
Tigers: goal, J. Hanna; Crompton, Hutton, Moss, Foster.
It is hoped to bring the Tiger's
team up to full strength during
next week, and some interesting
games should result, when the
teams fill up, and settle down to
business. Alice Arm possesses
enough men eligible to play hockey
and it is hoped that everyone will
turn out and keep the league alive.
