Big Blast at Anyox Mine
Was Successful In
Every Way
Sixty-five  Tons  of Powder
Used, and 5600 Holes
Blasted
While careful hands were removing- grandmother's picture and other
treasures to places of safety., and
anxious minds were wondering if a
stray rock would find its way
through the roof of their dwelling,
official's of the mine were coolly
rc-checking their calculations on the
technical details of the big blast,

Vandals Defeat Elks In
Monday's Basketball
Game
Again the Elks felt the sting of
defeat, as the triumphant Vandals
ran up the score to a hopeless lead.
The early part of the game was
extremely slow and only the entrance of Fred Calderoni brought
brought the Vandals up to usual
efficiency.
Tho Elks are showing unmistakable signs of disintegration and we
hope that the boys can repair their
fences. They have the makings of
a veal squad.

allayed however, as no damage
whatever was done to lives or property as a result of the concussion.
Promptly at 10 o'clock, the button
connected with the miles of electric
wiringiivas pressed, and the largest
underground blast in the history of
mining was fired. The shot was
one hundred per cent, successful,
everything turned out just as had
been planned and hoped for. Later
in the day an overhang of ore at the
top of the glory hole caved in as
had been expected and desired.
The north-east wall of the glory
hole now has the appearance of
having had a huge wedge sliced out
with a giant knife.
Mine officials were gratified to
find that no damage had been done
inside the mine. Approximately
65 tons, or 2600 boxes of powder,
were used in the operation, no less
than 5600 holes being blasted.
Every Precaution Taken
For Safety
Every precaution was taken to
avoid the possibility of accidents,
as a result of the big blast. All the
residents on the hill near the. mine
itself were moved down to the
Beach, thus there was no one within a distance of nearly two miles
from the place of operation.
At the Beach, the patients from
the hospital were carefully removed
and the homes of three or four
families near by were vacated.
This was because of the possibility
of a slide from an adjacent hill.
Everything was carried out in most
orderly fashion, and those in charge
deserve commendation for the elaborate care taken to ensure safety.
Blast Created Vast Chasm
Two glory-holes have now been
joined as a result of the big- blast
which took place at the Hidden

Wedded on Saturday
A quiet wedding was solemnized

Elks May Hold "Beauty And
Popularity" Contest
Something along the lines of a
("Beauty and Popularity" contest
is being oonsideredlby the committee
of the B. P. O. E. in oharge of the
New Year Dance, to be culminated
at that popular annual function.
And why not? While the idea
might at first glance appear to be
fraught with possibilities of fireworks and brimstone, the Elks,
with their usual sang froid, are
just the ones to carry it through,
and make a big success of it. It
would but remain for everyone to
enter into the spirit of the event,
and help the Brother Bills in providing a real novelty feature for
their popular annual New Year
Dance.
I. O.D.E. Will Hold Monthly

Golf Club Card Party
And Dance Very
Successful
The annual Card Party and
dance of the Anyox Golf Club was
held in the Elks' Hall on Friday
evening, November 23rd. The
first part of the evening was devoted to the playing of whist and
bridge. Mrs. G. M. Lee, President
of the Ladies' Club, and Mr. R. H.
Taylor, President of the Gentlemen's Club, presented the several
golf trophies won during the past
season.
Mr. Taylor first made welcome
the guests of the evening. He also
commented on the successful season
the club had enjoyed during which
thirteen tournaments had been
played. He closed his remarks
with the hope that all present
would meet again next year in
honour of another successful golfing season. Mr. Taylor then pres
ented Mr. Sid Peters with the
Charles Bocking trophy and also
with the Open Championship Cup.
He presented himself with the
Open Challenge Tournament Cup.
Mrs. G. M. Lee then presented
Mrs. L. Wenerstrom with the Mrs.

first flight, and Mrs. S. Peters,
winner of second flight. The Handicap Championship Cup was presented to Mrs. T. Stretton and a
prize was presented to the runner
up, Mrs. W. Henderson. Mrs. Lee
made special mention of the lowest
ladies' score turned in during the
season, that of 63 made by Mrs. L.
Wenerstrom. Mrs. R. O. Cutler,
on behalf of the membars of the
Ladies' Club, presented Mrs. G. M.

music. A very enjoyable time
was had by the large number of
people present.
Copper Production In
Africa Has Been
Increased
Fight Seems To Be Started
For European Market
,; The, New York Tribune-Herald in
a recent issue published a lengthy
article regarding the demoralized
state of the world's copper market.
It says in part:
With London quoting an average
price of ^29.5 during October for
electrolytic copper, corresponding
to 6.3 cents a pound for metal exported from here, there is no doubt
that copper is cheap measured by
any index. These are prices in depreciated sterling and dollars; to
make a really valid comparison,
they should be reduced to a gold
basis, which would mean about 3.7
cents a pound, just about one-fifth
of what copper sold for in 1930.
Yet this low price has not succeeded
in cutting down the stocks of copper
metal that are held in Great Britain,
according to the London Metal Exchange, which have increased from
32,266 tons as reported on January
1 to 39,540 tons on October 1. By
way of contrast, stocks in this
country, where the copper tariff of
4 cents a pound serves as present
adequate protection from foreign
imports of the metal, have been decreased about 130,000 tons in the
same period.
While talk still persists that there
will be a conference of foreign producers to stabilize production, now
going ahead at an unpleasant rate
abroad, the fact is that certain important copper companies have
steadily iucreased their mine production this year, accepting without
protest an extremely low price for
the metal as offerings exceeded consumers' needs, although it must be
realized by this time that with present world industrial conditions reduction in price will not result in
any increase in demand.
For this attitude other reasons
are assigned. It seems that a determined effort is being made by the
[powerful group of Rhodesian and
Belgian Congo mines to gain control of the European market by
driving down the price of copper to
a point where other less fortunately
situated copper mines will be forced
out of business. With the American market closed to them on account of the tariff wall, they have
turned to the consumers of Great
Britain, France, Germany and Italy,
which together have taken about
57,000 tons of copper monthly this

When It Is Necessary
To Have a Contract
In Writing
1 have been asked so often, when
it is necessary to have a contract in
writing, that I am listing the cases
where writing is necessary.
With the exceptions we will note
a contract is perfectly valid even if
it is verbal. But it always pays to
have your contract in writing, as
without it, you may find it difficult
to prove the contract, as the other
party's word on the face of it, is as
good as yours and he may deny the
contract.
The following types of contract
are required by law to' be reduced
to writing:
1. Checks, Bills of Exchange,
Promissory Notes..
2. Assignments of a Copyright.
3. Contracts of Insurance.
4. Transfer of shares in a Company.
5. Acknowledgement of a debt
barred by the Statute of Limitations.
This statute provides that an ordinary debt expires in six years and a
judgement in twenty years. After
these times no action can be brought
unless you have an admission or
acknowledgement in writing (of the
debt) that is not six years old.
6. Sale of Goods Act provides
that the contract of sale or a memorandum of it, signed, is necessary
to support any contract for the sale
of goods amounting to fifty dollars
or more. This is not necessary if
the buyer accepts part of the goods
or makes a part payment.
7. The Statute of Frauds provides live sets of eases where the
contract or a memorandum of it
must be in writing. They are as
follows:
(a) A promise by the party winding up an estate to pay any debt
where he has promised to pay and
it later turns out that there is not
enough money in the estate to pay
it.
(b) Any promise to answer for
llie debts etc. of another. If you
are selling goods lo a person and 1
guarantee to pay you if the buyer
does not, my guarantee is no good
unless it is in writing.
(c) Any contract dealing with
the payment of money or settlement
of property, conditional upon a
marriage actually taking place.
(d) Any contract dealing with
lands or houses or real estate or
any interest in them.
(e) Any agreement not to be
completed inside one year. If the
work completed extends over a
longer period than one year it must
be in writing.
Excepting the above any contract
may be made by word of mouth.
Any gratuitous promise, that is
one made by a person who is getting nothing in return, must be in
writing and under seal to make it
binding.

Driving   Long   Tunnel
On Big Missouri
The Stewart News
Working two shifts, and driving-
some eight to nine feet per day, the
long 2250 level being driven from
the Day ground on the Big Missouri,
is said to be now in some 200 feet.
The 50 odd foot raise Irom the 2250
up to the lower end of the snow
shed has been completed and sealed
in, providing an ideal line of communication from the portal of the
2250, up through the shed and the
2850 to the main camp. Conditions
at the property are understood to
have now settled down to completion
of the big development programme
laid down some lime ago, and which
includes the driving of the 2250 level
a distance of some 2500 feet to a
given point under the 2850 level, at
approximately 600 feet greater
depth. Coincident with this work
the big raise up from the 2850 is
reputed to be making satisfactory
progress.
Another Copper Co. Hit By
Low Prices
Subscribe to the Herald
Halstead Linsley, president of
Sherritt-Gordon Mines Ltd. told the
annual meeting of that company last
week, a 4c. duty kept Canadian
copper out of the United States,
while European needs were being
supplied adequately by South African and South American producers.
Hope of material improvement in
the situation would come, he said,
when producers established a profitable price basis. Meanwhile, he
added, with its mill closed, the
company would not waste its physical assets.
Following adoption of the annual
statement the board of directors
was re-elected with the addition of
J. E. Riley, secretary of Consolidated Mining & Smelting Co., who
replaced E. A. Timmons. Mr.
Timmons resigned owing to pressure of other affairs.

Historic Wolfe's Cove Assumes New Aspect
The scene cf the landing of
General Wolfe, under the towering cragB crowned by the Plains of
Abraham and the City of Quebec,
is about to become the setting for
yet another important event in the
history of Canada. On September
Iii, 1759, the British forces disembarked at what is now known as
Wolfe's Cove, to capture Quebec.
On June 2, 1931, passengers from
the new 42,500-ton Canadian Pacific
liner "Empress of Britain", on her
maiden voyage from Southampton,
will land within a few yards
of the same
spot and be
taken by train,
through a tunnel slightly
over a mile
long, under the
historic battlefield on which
the English
hero lost his
life, direct to
the Canadian
Pacific's main line to Montreal.
This new traffic link, which is being
completed by the company at a cost
of some $2,000,000, will eliminate
the present journey through Quebec's   terminals    and   materially
General Wolfe
shorten the running time from the
ship's Bide to all important Canadian and American centres. A
concrete quay-wall, 4,300 feet in
length, with 40 feet of water at low
tide, will provide berthing space for
the new giantess and tier sister
"White Empresses", and five railway tracks, converging into one
at the end of the wharf and thence
turning into the new tunnel, will
serve to transfer passengers from
the bosom of the St. Lawrence to
their respective destinations. Disembarkation will be effected through
a two-storey shed, with Btairwass
leading down to the trains. The

Seven Seas Traversed
Our Floating Homb
yw« passed in luxurious comfort, free from any
care or irritating responsibility and absolutely
without one disturbing incident from continent to
continent," stated Lady Williams-Taylor on her return
from a world cruise on board the Canadian Pacific
liner, the "Empress of Australia," during which tour
five continents, twenty-one countries and twenty-six
ports were visited and seven seas traversed.
"With sheltered ease," continued Lady Taylor,
"we had unfolded to us the soul-penetrating magnificence and the somewhat repellant fanatical conditions
of India und distraught, yet ever thrillingly interesting China. We steamed up and down the dangerous
Pearl River, and saw first-hand the devastation of
Canton. Mysterious Java, and almost untouched
lumatra, held us spellbound.   Singapore and its ever
growing docks amazed us, and lovely Ceylon enchanted us. But Hawaii wound itself about on
hearts and, to its haunting 'Aloha Oe,' we saw it
fade away through regretful tear*. Not only are
the islands more than fascinating, but the Royal
Hawaiian Hotel would tempt any traveller to return.
"After such a wonder tour of 188 days," concluded
Lady Taylor, "we 'Lotus Eating Tourists' have ono*
again to face the realities of ordinary existence without the untiring supervision and perfect organization
of the mighty and far-reaching Canadian Pacific
Railway and Steamship's protection and care of us,
It was, indeed, with heart* full of gratitude and
appreciation for our splendid captain, his staff, and
for the constant and devoted attention of the cruise
directors, that we finally bid farewell to oar floating
home—the 'Emm-ess ol Australia.'"

Copper  Production In
Africa Has Been
Increased
Continued front page 1
year.    These countries account  for
well  over half  the present world
consumption.
The Rhodesian copper producers
have no idea of running their mines
at a loss in order lo gain their possible objective of capturing the
European market. They have consistently expanded their mine production with the purpose of cutting
their production costs the pound
and so securing a slender margin of
profit for themselves even on today's prices.
Thus the Roan Antelope mine, best
known of the Rhodesian producers,
recently announced an over-all cost
of copper of ^20.6 a ton after deducting all expenses of marketing,
freight and royalties, equivalent to
about 4.2 cents a pound. In accomplishing this the Mine has increased output from 37,708 tons of
copper for the twelve months ended
June 1933, to 55,151 tons for the
comparable period of 1934. Aided
by the high average copper content
of 3.6 per cent in its ores, and a
steadily increasing efficiency of the
native workmen, under the superintendence of a former manager of
one of the most successful American
copper mines, Roan has set a difficult pace for its competitors to
follow.
In contrast to the reduction of 8
per cent in mine output of copper
from domestic production last year,
the three African producers—Roan,
..Rhokana and Katanga—increased
production 30 per cent. Katanga
has recently announced its purpose
to increase output from 6,000 tons
a month to 8,800 tons, and Rhokana from 4,500 to 5,500 tons monthly. Katanga copper is smelted in
the Congo but is refined in Oolen,
Belgium, which gives rise to the
mistaken impression that Belgium
is a copper producing country.

BASKETBALL
PERSONALS
Pat. Loudon.
We have been getting a lot of
demands lately, lor a better break
for our local belles ol' basketdoin.
We will admit that the girls have
a large kick coining. The girls
get no invitations to the annual
sports banquet and very few other
compensations for working as they
do. We are of the opinion that
the girls deserve a large hand and
to that end, we are endeavoring to
give them all the breaks in our
power.
Pat. London, as a representative
of the athletic f'emmes. is a basket-
bailer of real ability, as proof ofthe
popularity of our girls, is a fitting
and typical example. Pat. is
showing championship style this
year. Combined with an appetite
for hard checking, her basket making ability has put her ou top of
the heap. Real sportsmanship
and charm, have made her the
most boosted and rooted player on
the floor.
With girls like Pat. as the backbone of a rep. team, we will give
any girls' teams, cards and spades
and beat them—and that goes for
looks also..

The Mine girls took their most
decisive beating of the season.
Without their smooth forward line
that was broken with the transfer
of Betty Muir to the Aces, the
Mine girls showed a lack of working ability, that proved to be their
downfall.
The Aces, even without Miss
Muir show real promise. With
this young lady, working with Pat
Loudon up forward, it looks like a
cinch.
Aces: Rogers 3, Wenerstrom,
Loudon 7, Pinokney 4, Simpson,
Dresser 4, Carrick.   Total 18.
Mine Girls: Arscot, Cannon 1,
Bodine 2, Powell 2, Calderoni 2,
Roberts.    Total 7.
The Rovers got quite a lot of
sympathy and very little else out
of the first game. From which it
may be gathered that the boys
"took it" as usual. The Warriors
were among the sympathizers and
let the boys pick up a few points.
Warriors: D. O'Neill 13, McDonald 14, Phillips 5, J. O'Neill 5,
Murdoch, Chenoski.   Total 36.
Rovers: Summers 4, McCarthy
2, Cadillac 2, Dodsworth 2, Flye 1.
Total 11.

Two spinsters up-country were
criticizing- modern youth. One
said: "I wonder what the world is
coming to with women dressing- up
as men."
"Yes," remarked the other, "and
then they suspect everybody, for
only yesterday I got a letter that
started 'Dear Sir or Madam.' "
