Students At Reception Closing exercises at the High Sohool took the form of a reception in the Elks' Hall on Friday evening when awards won by the students during the year were presented by leading oitizens in the community. Guests of honor were the girls of the publio school basketball team to whom Mrs. R. 0. Cutler presented the vases offered by the P. T. A. for basketball competition between the schools. The young ladies were: Dora Grigg, (Capt.) Winnie Cameron, Mildred Dresser, Lillian Dresser, Dorothy Waterman, Patricia O'Neill, Marjorie Cloke, Amy MacDonald. Mr. 0. G.

Principal Hartley of the Public School paid tribute to the excellent work done by Harold Eld in winn ing the Canadian History Medal for this inspectorate. Reference was made to the pupils who had won awards offered by the I. 0. D. E. These names were previously published. A pleasing feature of the evening was the formality of the supper programme in which the students taking part in the speech es acquitted themselves very creditably. Acting as toastmaster was Archie MacDougall and toasts were offered and responded to by Miss Annie McLachlan, Miss Vera Eve and Miss Kathleen Eve. During a large part of the evening excellent dance musio was furnished by the Arcadians Orchestra. The success of the affair is to be largely credited to the committee of students which inoluded Kathleen Eve Florence Dodsworth, Jean MoDonald, Margaret Marriot, Faith Cameron, John Gillies, and Stuart Steele.

Kitsault-Eagle Operates Three Camps The Kitsault-Eagle Silver Mines Ltd. now have three camps operating in the vicinity of McGrath mountain and the north-east fork of the Kitsault river. In addition to the development work on the Silver Cord, which has been carried on uninterruptedly for two years, they have commenced development work on the Le Roy. This property has some tremendous surface showings of zinc ore and development is expected to prove up a large tonnage. Development has also been commenced on a portion of the twenty claims recently bonded by the com pany on McGrath mountain. A total of fifteen men are now being employed. The new tunnel recently commeu ced on the Silver Cord has eucoun tered an ore body about four feet wide. The ore is said to be high grade. Mrs. Cline/ (nee Swanson) was an arrival on the Prince Charles on Tuesday. Saddle Tramway Cut Transportation Costs P. E. Peterson, consulting engineer for Silver Crest, states that the aerial tramway which is being built to serve the Saddle claims at Hastings Arm will, together with the new compressor, cut operating costs on that property greatly. "It will be possible to mine at a cost of $15 a foot instead of $35 as at present and supplies may be taken to the property on the tram at a cost of 25 cents a ton instead of 10 cents a pound, the price that has been paid to packers," said Mr. Peterson. A wharf, 100 feet by 14 feet, has been completed, excavation has been made for the lower tramway terminal, the right of way cleared and oable is now being strung, the engineer reported. The B. C. Equipment Co. is handling the tramway oontraot. The tram is a double jig-back 8400 feet long, suspended on ten steel towers.) The interesting feature, and one very creditable to British Columbia industry, is that it was designed and built by British Columbia labor on Granville Island, Vancouver. The cable was made oif British steel wound on Granville Island. ANYOX PUBLIC MEETINGS auce arm T. F. Baxter of Vanoouver will address meetings next week, in support of T. W.

K. MOSS, Editor and Publisher. Cecil Rhodes was one of the financial geniuses of modern times. The following expresses his view on mining investment: "Mining has been the foundation of the world's wealth from the beginning of time. The govern' ments rich in mineral, have always been the richest and strongest gov- ernments on the earth. The man who produces gold, silver, lead and copper is creating the raw material of wealth; every stroke of his pick every echo from his drill, adds to the wealth of everyman's business in the world. Mining has always been the quick road to fortune. A country of great mines always becomes a country of great wealth, influence and power, and what you can say for nations you can say for men. "I believe investing money good mining stock is the most pro fitable of investments, and very much the safest. And why safest? Because your security is the ore itself—the raw material of money, The security for your money in a good mining company is the money itself, actual money." in The poets have done well by June. The subject supplies inspiration enough for any rhymester to do his best. If June is ordinarily well behaved it deserves all that the great and little poets have sung about it. Occasionally the month shows a rebellious spirit, but so rarely is this true that the exceptions may b taken to prove the poet's rule of blessedness and praise for June. Nature perfects herself in the sixth month of the year. Perhaps some people will hold that nature's perfection comes at the harvest season which falls well forward into the hazy days. There is, however, a harvest of flowers as well as of fruits and grains, and the abundance of blossoms comes in June along with brides, girl graduates and other things pleasant to look upon. WinsCommuni Prize Ben Sampson was awarded the Five dollar prize offered by the A.C. L. for the best suggestion for community welfare. Mr. Sampson's dea was that the league should construct playgrounds for the smaller children with especial attention to shallow paddling pools. The project is already receiving attention. The Membership committee, headed by Mr. Deeth, reports excellent progress. The chairman himself has added twenty members recently, and solicitors under his direction are out after those who have hitherto neglected the opportunity of cooperating in this beneficent movement. The High School children who are now released from the classroom are expected to corral many of those who have so far dodged the issue, Miners Should Avail Themselves of Rebate Free Miners are reminded that a rebate of 25 per cent, is available to the man the legitimate retail oost of powder used in the bona- fide prospecting of mining property in British Columbia, subject to the following regulations:- Applicants prove to the mining Recorder or Resident Mining Eng ineer chat they are bona-fide pros pectors. Rebates not allowed on more than ten cases of powder each year, except under exceptional circumstances and on written recom mendation of Resident Mining En- giueer.

Outcome Favorable Looks Questioned iu the House of Commons in regard to taking over tlie P. G. E. Railway by the C. N. R. the minister of railways said "no agreement regarding the P. G. E. could be consummated without the approval of Parliament." Mr. Dunning said the negotia tions were progressing satisfactorily but beyond this he could not go. It was always possible to have an operating agreement made and in such cases it would not be necessary to come to Parliament for permission. Rising Price of Silver Will Boom Industry A good dea! of attention is being paid to the silver market at present [>y mining circles in Canada. The price of this metal recently took a leap to around 63 cents an ounce, the highest it has been since August, 1926. It is now selling around 60 cents, and there is a feeling among mining men that, with world production supposedly past its peak and no immediate sources of supply in sight, and with the demand apparently increasing in Oriental countries, the silver situation may be expected to hold its recent improvement at least. The present price of silver is about the same as it was in 1914, when the average was 59.79 cents. In 1925 it took a sharp advance, mounting to 69 cents as an average. With labor and other mining costs where they are today, operators of silver mines say the price of this metal ought to be around 70 cents, to permit similar profits to those before the war.

Lower right—An Indian of today depleting us of a handrsd rears ago. 1«Jo section of Oanada can claim a monopoly of In- x^ dlan Summer, but, to Banff, Alta., belongs Indian Days. Indian Summer occurs in the fall and may last two Or three weeks; Indian Days occur in July and are only three in number; but, for those for whom they are named, there is more real pleasure crowded into that short tune than they experience during the other three hundred and sixty-two days of the year. For three days the Indian is "King of Banff". He pitches his tepees under the steep cliffs of Cascade Mountain, known to the Indians from ancestral days as "Stoney Chief", Close to "Stoney Chief" and still known by its original name stands "Stoney Squaw". The latter It a pretty mountain, much smaller than its neighbour, but with an appealing feminine dignity all its.own. The reason, then, for the Indians' original choice of names is obvious to all. For these three festival days the Indian ia lord of all he surveys, and all through the village of Banff and in and around the famous Banff Springs Hotel the scene resembles a veritable monater Indian camp. The event that probably led up to the adoption of Indian Days occurred In July 1889 when rail traffic, both east and west of Banff was tied up for a period of ten days, as heavy rains had washed out the tracks in both directions. The Banff Springs Hotel, then but a small structure, was crowded with tourists who found time hung heavily on their hands. The hotel manager at that time and Tom Wilson, the famous Rocky Mountain guide, then pot tlieir heads together and decided to invite op the whole Stoney Indian Tribe from the Morley Reserve to make friends with the visitors. What is today the main road to the hotel was on that occasion staked off as a race track, the winning post being placed at the hotel entrance. Every form of race and sport known to the Indians was held, in addition to many suggested by the white spectators. Altogether the visit of the Indians was a marvellous success, and it ultimately led to the establishment in 1907 of an annual Indian Day, which in time grew into the continent-wide advertised Indian Days. The Indians look forward to these days with the greatest enthusiasm and early on in the year start counting 'V>nly so many days now till we go to Banff". The Indian village of a hundred tepeee is, as said before, located at the foot of Cascade Mountain for this festival, and is semi-circular in form, each band of the tribe having a section to themselves. Rations art served directly the Indian village is in shape. The Government donates three buffalo annually to the Indians, and the first one of these is then shot by a game guardian and quickly cut up by the redskin butchers. So skilled and speedy are the few Indian! butchers employed, that within thirty minutes sited the shot Is fired, there Is not a vestige left of whaa was once a lordly animal weighing spprorlmavtsiyl one ton. j ALICE ARM AND ANYOX HERALD, Friday, June 29 1928 Britannia Mining Coy. Increasing Output Britannia Mines, the British Columbia unit of the Howe Sound Company, is now producing approximately 3,500,000 pounds of copper per month. Earnings of the company will be far in excess of what they were last year due to increased production and improved facilities for handling the ore. It is also benefitting materially from the increase in the price of oopper, silver, and other metals. Last year the record of production at Britannia was one of the best in the company's history, the total being 33,500,000 pounds of copper, 10,000 ounces of gold, 170,000 ounces of silver, and 40,000 tons of iron pyrites. Copper production in 1926 was 33,117,288 pounds so that the increase in the past year is very considerable. As an indication of the rapid growth of this famous company's production it is interesting to note that in 1917 the copper output was only 15,780,000 pounds or considerably less than half that of any of the past two years.

' Few countries can so readily and fully demonstrate this formula as Canada demonstrates it today, with her ever-increasing family of new Canadians from every craft-hire of ancient Europe. They are here in their thousands to embellish the bareness of a new world with the transported skill and taste of old centres of master-craftsmanship. They are carding, and spinning;, and weaving the fleece and the flax of our prairies; they are hammering our metals, moulding our clay, carving our woods, plaiting our straws, to the tune of every peasant song that has echoed down the corridors of racial history through the rural homes of Europe's Here, they find a blue sky wide enough for all Miners; a sweep of pregnant prairie where men of any class and any race may sweat and eat nobly; revel at their ploughs; and revel in the sunshine. And simple hearths for winter days where Slav, and Magyar, Latin, Celt, and Scandinavian, Pole and Ukrainian, Hungarian and Roumanian, Finn and Russian, Doukhobor, Austrian, Czech, and the rest, may sit in peace, weaving their memories into lovely things which all will assemble to admire and enjoy together in the friendly arena of Canadian Folksong and Handicraft Festivals. Confidently, the old Canadian predicts that ths Canada of tomorrow will solve some racial problems which are the universal despair of today. And she will do it in great part by quietly saving and blending the missionary crafts of those beauty-loving missionary migrants who are merging themselves Into her family as New Canadians. The first Canadian Folksong and Handicraft Festival is to be held in Winnipeg, June 19-28 of this year, and will present a wealth of interest _.... ALICE ABM AND ANYOX HEKALD, Friday, June 29 1928 rt Know Your Province And Boost It The large advertisement on this page showing the progress of the mining industry, is one of a series of advertisements, commenced two weeks ago. The idea of these advertisements is to bring home to the people of the province the splendid progress made in every line of industry during tlie recent years, and to make everyone feel proud of the province in which we live. The broadcasting of our progress should bear fruit. "Seven years ago," writes tlie Secretary of the B. C. and Yukon Press Association, "the Press Association of the province took its initial step iu a campaign of publicity. At that time there was prepared in the office of the Vancouver Province and its mechanical department a full-page advertisement showing the development and resources of the province. This plate was prepared and forwarded to newspaper members of the Press Association free of cost by the Province newspaper, and by them published at no cost to anyone except the publisher;. This was done in the general interest of the province. It had no political significance. The newspapers recognize that the 'in', party always claims the credit for any progress made and the 'out' party always sees the country headed for the weiner factory. The Press members tried to show British Columbia's pheuomenal progress in spite of political parties not because of t'hem, and to inspire readers with tlie thought of rapidly developing industries, splendid opportunities offering, and wealth in untold quantity awaiting individual effort and systematic search. The original idea went over well but at that time the Association had only a 50 per cent, membership. Since then the idea has been further developed until this year it was adopted by the Provincial Government in a commendable spirit of co-operation looking to the publio weal. This week every daily and weekly newspaper in the province starts a 'British Columbia first' publicity. Not a week of it, not a month, but for all time. "Every citizen of the province; every sohool girl or boy; every citizen of any other country making a living here should be interested in learning the progress and develop ment the provinoe is making. All must enter into the spirit of Brit ish Columbia before there can be a united British Columbia marching forward in mighty array.

BOX 1604 PRINCE RUPERT MINERAL CLAIMS brlds treasure house/ TWENTY years' mining in British Columbia have yielded nearly 800-million dollars. The last ten years have increased production by 58.9 per cent. The value of all Canada's production is $25.70 per citizen, British Columbia's production today, if distributed, would mean $111.96 per person annually! Our mined and treated tonnage of metalliferous ores reached a record of more than 5-million tons for 1927. The value of the mining industry to the Province is in the distribution of money in wages, supplies, transportation services, etc. And in this respect, 1927 was a record year! The 14,000 employees of the mining industry were paid wages totalling 23 million dollars... or nearly $1,700 each... the highest average for any Canadian Province. During the year, distribution of eight million dollars was made in dividends! British Columbia mines approximately 40 million dollars worth of copper, zinc and lead, a year . . . more than the rest of Canada. In gold and silver, our production ranks second ... in coal, third; our total annual mining production today being exceeded only by Ontario. Sound legislation, good mining laws and low fees have encouraged this development and stimulated growth. Although the provincial mining area has only been superficially pros- Sected within the transportation belt, new elds are developing, new roads and trails constantly being built. Chattering drills sink deeper and deeper into the hills . . . heavy ores rumble through the concentrators ... fortunes come tumbling from the treasure chest of British Columbia! What was once only imagined about our mining Eotentialitles, is now proven knowledge. Mining as become our third largest industry... showing over 67 million dollars revenue a year . . . proof that prosperity flourishes in British Columbia. Capital from Eastern. Canada, the United States, Great Britain, France... seeks invest* ment. Our great wealth of production, developing so steadily during the past ten years, has established confidence and aroused keen interest in British Columbia's mining future the world over.
