The Minister of Mines Donates First Aid Cup For North With the idea of encouraging still further the work of First Aid in mines, Hon. G. S. Pearson, Minister of Mines, has donated a handsome trophy oup for annual competition among First Aid teams in the mines throughout the northern district. This year the competition for this cup was held and concluded in Anyox and next year arrangements will probably be made to hold the competition throughout the whole northern distriot. The competition was held in the Mine Hall on Wednesday last between five-men teams in charge of T. M. Waterland, S. Reid and L. Samaan. These three teams did excellent work and the judges had no easy task in deciding the winning quintette. This proved to be team No. 2 under manager S. Reid. This team tied with that of T. Waterland's both having 26 points out of a possible 30, and on au oral examination Reid's team won. The judges were Dr. Learoyd and Dr. James, with Ed. Ashton aud F. Graham assisting. Mr. Charles Booking was present and gave an interesting talk. The oup was presented to the winning team by Mr. Chas. Graham, Distriot Inspector of Min9s. There was a good attendance of mine officials and others interested in the work. Wolf Pays Penalty For Killing Goats Wm. Steven, who operates a vegetable and small fruits ranch on the Kitsault Flats east of the river firmly believes in keeping the"wolf from the door" in both good or bad times itat all possible. Mr. Steven emphatically answered the question of "Who's afraid of the big bad wolf," with a decided "Not Me," on Tuesday morning at 5 a.m. when he shot aud killed a big timber wolf, who had, in company with his mate, been molesting his herd of goats. These wolves had previously been seen in the district by several people, and on Monday morning they raided Mr. Steven's herd of goats, killing two small ones aud injuring the mother. They returned to their scene of slaughter ou Tuesday morning when the dawn was breaking. One shot was sufficient to dispose of the male, but his mate escaped. It was in good condition, showing that game was plentiful Many Visitors At Alice Arm On Victoria Day The Victoria Day oelebration at Alioe Arm, while not conducted on such an elaborate scale as on some former occasions was patriotically observed by both townsfolk and the large number of Anyox visitors who spent the day here. Ideal weather prevailed, hot sunshine prevailing during the early part of the day and cooling off toward evening. The festivities commenced on Wednesday evening with a dance at the Alice Arm Hotel. It was attended by a large number of Anyox visitors, and the splendid rendering of the up-to-date dance numbers by Harry Ward's orohestra was greatly enjoyed. During Thursday several additional launch parties arrived from Anyox. They spent the day sightseeing arouud town, and car riding or hiking in various parts of the district, in search of wild flowers, and enjoying the scenery. Sports for the' children were held during the afternoon. The results of whioh are as follows: Small Children's Race. 1 Jimmy Graham, 2 Dorothy. Steven. Boys and Girls 6 years and under. 1 Neil and Douglas Steven. Tie, 2 Mary Graham. Boys 8 years and under. 1 Billy Steven, 2 Arthur Moss and Jack Graham, Tie.

Eight Candidates Confirmed At Anglican Church There was a large attendance at the Anglican Church at Anyox on Sunday evening last, when the Right Rev. Bishop Rix. of the Diocese of Caledonia, held a Confirmation Service for eight adult candidates who entered the Church. The Bishop's address, spoken in simple language and quiet manner, was most impressive. The service, whioh was fully choral, was heartily entered into by all the congregation. The choir gave the anthem "Lord we Pray Thee." and tipped the scales at 95 pounds. There is a bounty of $5.00 ou timber wolves and if the survivor is wise she will leave for more unfrequented parts Excellent Entertainment Given by Boy Scout Group A Variety Show whioh was all that the title implies, was presented by the Anyox Boy Scout Group in the Reoreation Hall ou Friday, May the 18th. before a full house. The effort was made with the object of raising funds to assist in taking the Scouts to summer oamp at Tlell. on Queen Charlotte Island, and proved a successful venture. All the items on the lengthy program were entertaining, from the doings of the Wolf Cubs to the ''Jokes and Pokes" of two members of the Chrysanthemum Coons. Musical numbers were given by Scouts Hubert Warden (Guitar) and Wm. MoDouald (Mouth Organ) Patrol Leader Cyril Watson sang "Darkness on the Delta" and res' ponded with a comic rendering which extolled the virtues of a paint called "Woedn" as the sole covering of man.. As a triok expert Rover Dick Summers excelled, mystifying the aritlience with-some uncanny doings and performing just sufficient of these to whet the appetite for more. A tableaux display by the Sea Rovers was splendidly presented, each number being performed in a skilled manner. This was one of the most popular items on the pro gram. Messrs. Bam forth and Blundell, of the Mine Minstrel Troop, kept the audience in a con tiuual state of laughter during their well-presented number. Their betting stunts brought down the house. The tables were turned when Scout Leslie Murdooh put Scoutmaster Gale—a tenderfoot for the time being—through his pacings. Songs and Shanties by the Sea Rovers were given round the camp fire, and Taps was sung by the entire group. At this point Mr. T. J. Kirkwood, on behalf of the Anyox Branch of the Canadian Legion, presented the Scouts with a Memorial cheque, and Mrs. J.W. Lang, Regent of the looal ohapter of the I. O. D. E., handed to Mr. Gale, on behalf of that body, a cheque to assist in swelling the summer camp fund. Accompaniments for the singing and also a number of selections were played by an orohestra composed of Miss A. McLachlan, V. S. MoRae, J. Buntain, and J. Reid. Miss Esterbrook, who has been sp?nding a holiday here with 'her sister Mrs. Jackson, left on Wednesday for her home in Vancouver. Large Crowd Attend Opening Baseball Game Officials and players in the Anyox baseball League were greatly encouraged at the large number of spectators at the opening game on Tuesday last, between the Dynamiters and Oddfellows. In addition to seeing a fast, clean game, they had the satisfaction of noting some pleasing features. Thanks to the Community League, who have expended quite a large sum of money on behalf of the sport, the teams turned out smartly uniformed, the Dynamiters in grey and green and the Oddfellows in dark blue. The third team in the League, the Elks, will make their debut on Friday, when they lock horns with the powdermen. The A. C. L. have provided thej antlered herd with fawn and purple outfits. The score-board has been moved to a more prominent position and nicely painted and the grounds are in good shape. The excellent game as an opener and the keen interest shown by the fans, speaks well for a good baseball season. The Lodge teams should each have a large following of fans and the hillmen are assured of strong support. Let all unite to encourage this most popular game by consistent attendance at the league fixtures. Young Anyox Couple Married On May 17th. Mr. Henry McCartney Is Leaving Anyox After spending nineteen and a half years- in Anyox, Mr. Henry McCartney, old timer in the north, will seek retirement in the south. During his residence here Mr. McCartney has seen many developments, vicissitudes and changes in the mining and smelting town of Anyox. His first venture to the north was in 1898, when he went in the gold rush from California to the Yukon. After seventeen years in that country, spent chiefly around Dawson and Atlin, he came to Anyox, so that he has been in the north over thirty-six years, and like many old timers, can tell some stirring tales of the old pioneering days. Mr. McCartney' will leave Anyox on June 4th. and contemplates a visit to his old home in England before finally settling down in the Vancouver district. He is a member of the A. F. & A. M., and also a charter member of the Anyox Lodge, B. P. O. E., and will be missed by a host of friends here, who nevertheless are uniting in wishing him the best of everything for the future. , A very p'retty wedding was solemnized in Anyox on Thursday, May 17th. when Miss Ethel Peacock, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Aubrey Peacock, of Fort Fraser, and formerly of Wiltshire, England became the bride of Henry James Griffin, of Fort Fraser. The event took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Lee at 7 o'clock p.m. the ceremony being performed by the Rev. A. Abraham- Mrs. Lee was matron of honor, and Mr. Lee gave the bride away. The wedding marches were played by Miss Barbara Lee. The bride looked very charming in a pearl grey gown with lavender lined pleatings and gloves and shoes to match. She carried a bouquet of pale pink carnations. Miss ulenna Lee who as bridesmaid, carried the ring on a white satin cushion. The room in whioh the ceremony took plaoe was prettily decorated with flowers and ferns providing a colorful background for the picturesque wedding group. A wedding supper was afterwards served only friends and relatives being present. The bride's table was decorated in pink and white and carried a handsome three-tier cake. The usual toasts were honored. The bride and groom are both very popular in Anyox and were the recipients of many tangible expressions of wishes for long life and happiness. They will reside in Anyox. Dynamiters Win First League Game The ball proved mightier than the bat at the opening tilt of the Anyox Baseball League on Tuesday last, when the H. C. Dynamiters and Oddfellows tried iu vain to make runs. The former managed only two off Ferguson, while Musser for the Lodgemen managed to put a break iu the row of goose eggs. It was a gala night for both pitchers. Cieslikowski was dynamite for the hillmen, with a lightning ball and an otitcurve that confounded the opposition, and Ferguson gave few chances. Me- Closky got a lovely three-bagger in the second, and Calderoni got a two-base smack. The situation was tense in the seventh for the Lodgemen, who needed one run to tie, thoy had the bases loaded but could not make the grade, although Norm. Roberts made a great effort to get home from third. ALICE ARM AND ANYOX HERALD, Saturday.

Copper Code Functions In United States The Miner, Vancouver The code for the copper industry in the United States was approved on April 21st. and became effective on April 26th. General Johnson a statement to President Roosevelt said that the copper industry faces a situation in which if all the copper mines in the country were to be shut down for eighteen months the available stocks of the metal now above ground would be ample to supply all estimated needs for the period. "Though it is impossible under present conditions to provide for any but a slight increase in employment, the code conditions will undoubtedly prevent the closing of mines now in operation, avoid destructive price cutting, and at the same time provide adequate control of prices in the public interest. As of January 31, 1934, stocks of copper amounted to about 775,000 tons. Substracting from these stocks normal mill inventories and future sales commitments, there was approximately 450,000 tons of free stocks on hand. Add production from scrap to the free stocks on hand and there would be 575,000 tons of copper available at the end of the next twelve months." John D. Galloway Presented With Silver Plate The Silver Advocates Forced Roosevelt's Hand The Financial News In moving to remonetize silver, the Roosevelt administration is preparing to buy approximately 1,800,- 000,000 ounces of silver. The move is directly inflationary and is forced on the President by the fact that the senate silver bloc has been threatening to do serious things to some of his other intended legislative steps because he first rejected the silver proposal. Wall Street obviously interprets the action as further evidence of the President's inability to control the machinery which was started in action against the advice ' the financial community. Interesting and possibly far reaching results may be expected now that the silver advocates have carried the second line of Washington defences. Representative collection of ore samples is being sent by B. C. Chamber of Mines to University of Freiberg, Germany, from which a request was received. The Herald is $2.00 a year. The annual dinner of the British Columbia Division of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy was held on May 11th. at the Terminal City Club. A feature of the occasion was a presentation to Mr. J. D. Galloway, who recently resigned as Provincial Mineralogist, of a 200 ounce silver tray, the handiwork of Mr. Maurice Carmichael, Victoria, and son of the former Provincial Assayer. The presenta tion was made by Mr. W. R. Wilson, president of the Crows Nest Pass Coal Company, and he expressed the appreciation of Mr. Galloway's long and friendly association with the mining profession of the province, Mr. C. P. Browning, general manager of the Britannia Mining & Smelting Company, presided at the meeting, which was attended by over 50 members of the institute. Olof Hanson Expected To Receive Nomination The executive of the Prince Rupert Liberal Association, at a meeting on May 8th. decided to recom-| mend to the Skeena District Liberal Association that a federal nominating convention be called at an early date. Dr. J. H. Carson, president of the local association, was in the chair at the meeting. The general expectation is that Olof Hanson, M. P. for Skeena, will be renominated. Victoria Capital To Develop Stewart Property —*— L. L. and H. Group, on Bitter creek, Bear River section of Portland Canal district, has been bonded by Victoria, B. C. interests. Property, which was formerly owned by Bitter Creek Mines Ltd., has three short tunnels, lower one of which cut a 2; <t vein. Values ..re between $6 ai.d $8, gold at $20. Premier Gold recently became interested in the property, but option had bjen pledged. Prices of All Metals Increased Last Year Increase of the price of gold has been spectacular. In the past year silver has advanced from 27 cents to 46 cents per ounce; copper from 5 cents to 8 cents per pound, lead from 3 cents to 4^ cents per pound; zinc from less than 3 cents to 4^ cents per pound. The export of gold bullion from Canada in March, which amounted to $70,054,663 in value, was large, all going to the United States. This compared with an export of $3,024,308 in March last year. Canada's first successful mining venture was started in 1752 and it kept on until 1883. It was the mining of iron at Les Forges, near Three Rivers, Quebec. Col. W. T. Perkins, well known to coast mining men, was elected president of the Seattle Mining Exchange.

May 26, 1934 LfV WITH THE TRAIL RIDERS East ia but men ride wherever the Bun shines and the Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies, with a membership which girdles the globe, are creating widespread interest with their planB for their 1932 expedition from Banff to Mount Assiniboine, through some of the raoBt beautiful country in the great mountains from which they take their name. The famous peak, with its many adjoining lakes and valleys, was the focal point of the 1927 trail ride and this year's trip, starting on July 29, will follow generally the same lines, with nights spent in camp, according to the best traditions of the Order. Ample time will be given for exploring the territory traversed, the ride occupying Ave dayB and traversing Brewster and Allenby Creeks; Assiniboine Pass and the shores of Lake Magog to the great mountain, which is the objective of the riders. Saturn will be made through tbe Valley of the Rooks; the Golden Valley; Citadel Pass and so through Sunshine Camp to Banff once more. The pictures shown above are distinctly interesting and show Lt. Col. Phil Moore, president of the Trail Riders, and Mrs. Moore, on camel-hack at the Pyramids, during the world-cruise of the Canadian Pacific liner "Empress of Britain", in strong contrast to the cowboy viewing Mount Assiniboine, where this year's trail ride leads. Inset is H. M. King Prajadhipok of Siam, who proved an enthusiastic trail rider during his visit to Canada last summer. Below, two fair bathers are seen setting out from one of the cabins at AsBiniboine Camp. Championship Fish from Ontario Waters Mgg?

As the largest vessel ever to navigate the canal the Empress received unusual attention. In fact as far as canal officials were concerned, she was viewed with furrowed brows. The lock-keepers, if they wanted to, could have jumped aboard her, so tightly did she fit. Farrowed brows marked Chief Officer, W. G.-Busk-Wood, R.N.R., of the Empress of Britain. As the "Mate- he is responsible for her gleaming white painted sides and bets were freely offered that he would have to put men over the side when she reached Cristobal to re-paint. Scotchmen amongst the 481 passengers covered every bet—they had faith in the Scottish caution of Commodore S. G. Latta, her commander. It was a tight fit, but never a scratch of paint! The photograph shows the Empress of Britain entering the Pedro Miguel lock. Her passengers crowded the decks to watch the spectacle and so interesting was this feat of navigation that Chief Steward Frank Mobs complained that for the first time in four and a half months they forgot to eat!
