The North Branch of
Canadian Institute of
Mining and Metallurgy
THE  ANYOX MEETING
The Anyox meeting of the North
Coast Branch Canadian Institute
oil Mining and Metallurgy, was
hold on Thursday evening, Juno
9th. Chairman E. J. Conway
presided, and Mr. G. C. Mackenzie,
visiting secretary-treasurer, was
asked to address the meeting.
Mr. Mackenzie explained that
the policy of the Institute is to send
its secretary over the country that
he might come in contact with
members, cast new light on Institute matters, create new interest,
secure new mambers, and to bring
the east a little closer to the west.
The Institute aims to represent the
mming industry, and its membership is not of any one class or profession, but it embraces everyone,
who is interested in the science and
art of winning ore from the ground
and recovering from it materials
for the use and convenience of mankind. The North Coast Branch
exists for the purpose of bringing
into contact, all classes of men
eagaged in the •mining industry in
this district. Its programme for
the approaching year includes monthly meetings; at which talks and
discussion on a broad range of
mining and metallurgical subjects
will be held. Arrangements are
being made to secure material from
other mines, such as the Hollinger,
and the Sudbury and Cobalt camps.
ALICE ARM MEETING
Saturday afternoon, the Anyox
members visited Alice Arm. They
were accorded a right royal welcome by C. B. Major North, coun.
cilor for British Columbia, at "The
House on the Hillside." Here the
Major's famous concoction "A bird
in the hand" was discussed with
the unanimous approval of all.
At eight o'clock the visitors were
guests of the citizens of Alice Arm
at a sumptuous dinner in the Alice
Arm Hotel. Following this, a
public meeting was held which was
presided over by Major North, in
the unavoidable absence of chairman, E. J. Conway. The policy
and work of the Institute was outlined by Mr. Mackenzie. He said
the Canadian Institute of Mining
and Metallurgy was a national
institution that has, no politics and.
no religion except Canada. ■ Its aim
is to benefit the mining industry
and what benefits mining, benefits
Canada. The idea of its meetings
is to create«good fellowship among
the members, to bring the prospector in contact with the engineer
and capitalist, and to provide an
opportunity for discussion and the
exchange of information among its
members.
Bert Kergin the popular member
of the legislature for Atlirt, was
present, and discussed the relation
of the Institute to legislation. He
pointed out that the Institute
could be an important factor in
suggesting legislation and in giving
advice on political questions that
have a bearing on the mining industry.
Mr. Biel asked to have some
additional light on the qualifications and duties of members, who
are eligible. Mr. Mackenzie replied
that all are eligiblo, every man in
the industry; prospector, engineer,
miner, doctor, mine' operator, and
metallurgist, they all have a plaoe
in the membership, and their duties
are to attend meetings and to take
part in the discussions.
John Stark, the pioneer prospector of the Arm, followed with
an interesting description of the
country, when cariboo fed on the
flats at Alice Arm, and bears roamed over the outcrop of the Hidden
Creek Mine, He approved the
steps the government is taking in
aiding the prospector in establishing roads and trails and in providing explosives at cost to prospectors
Referring to the perennial subject
of a government plant for testing
ores, he claimed the logical location
was at tidewater, and suggested
the Institute influence the government in some action along this line.

Mrs. C. J. Lowry entertained at
bridge, Tuesday afternoon, in honor
of Mrs. D. C. Roy and Mrs. Victor
Bengston, who left on Thursday's
boat to spend the summer months
in Vancouver and Spokane.
Carelessness and neglect on the
part of picnic parties to abide by
the law in regard to extinguishing
camp fires before leaving their
camps, has'resulted in a big forest
tire at the head of Granby Bay.
It seems a pity after waiting through a long winter for this beautiful weather, that the atmosphere
must be polluted with smoke and
ashes, when this condition could
easily be prevented with just a
little effort and forethought on the
part of careless people.
In this connection it might be
well to state that on two occasions
the town and plant at Anyox was
only saved by favorable winds from
being- wiped out' as a result of-fireSi-
A severe fire at this time would
probably throw us all out of' a job
and work hardship on many others'.'
A big percentage of these fires
would be prevented if everyone
would refrain from throwing away
burning matches, cigarette and
cigar stubs and pipe heels. ^
Mrs H. S. Munroe was the
charming hostess, at a delightful
tea, on Saturday afternoon, June
11th. The occasion being a farewell linen shower for Miss Milligan,
who is shortly to leave for the
south. The afternoon was very
pleasantly spent in playing bridge.
After partaking of the daintily
served refreshments, \ the happy
task began of opening and admiring the many handsome and beau-
gifts showered upon her.
Miss Milligan has been associated
with the teaching staff in Anyox

regret that her many friends will

ALICE ARM MEETING
OF THE CANADIAN
MINING INSTITUTE
The North Coast Branch of the
Canadian .Institute of Mining and
Metallurgy, held a very successful
meeting at the Alice Arm Hotel on
Saturday, June 11th. Fourteen
members from Anyox, and Mr. G.
C. Mackenzie, newly appointed
secretary-treasurer for the Dbmin-
1 ion of Canada, made the trip on
the Awake, Saturday evening.
Major Morth, superintendent of
the Dolly Varden Mine, was on
hand to welcome the visitors, and
under his supervision everyone was
soon feeling at home.
A dinner was served at the Alice
Arm Hotel, at 8 o'clock, for the
visitors, and was attended by some
ol! the citizens of Alice Arm.
The   Meeting   was called at 9
■ o'clock in the Hotel Dining Roomg
and in a few minutes it was crowded to the doors.
Major North was chairman of
the meeting, he gave a short
address, and introduced to the
audience, Mr. G. C. Mackenzie.
Mr. G. C. Mackenzie, gave a
very lucid address on the aims of
the Canadian Mining Institute.
He said the present membership
was 1700 and represented every
walk of life, the members including
mining engineers, superintendents,
shift bosses, miners and muckers;
also bank managers, business men
and others, who lived in mining
centres, and were dependent on
mining for their living. One of
the aims of the Canadian Mining
Institute was to see that sane laws
were passed in Ottawa and the
different provinces; in which mining got a fair show and was not
bound down by ironclad laws that
throttled the industry.
Mr. H. F. Kergin, M. L. A., was
the next speaker. He took his
audience back 15 years, when he
first came north, and said that at
that time there was'nt a mine shipping ore, except the placer gold of
the Atlin country, and a few other
scattered- points. At that time
there was no Anyox with its mines
and smelter, no Alice Arm with its
Dolly Varden and other mines, no
Stewart with its Premier, and no
Prince Rupert with its big fishing
industry railroad terminals and
drydock. Very few salmon were
packed in those days, and very few
white men was in the country.
He predicted that the next 15 years
would show far greater progress
than the past, because we have the
minerals, the timber, the fish and
also the cheapest transportation in
the world, that is, water. The
north will go ahead by leaps and
bounds. We have the commodities
the world needs most and no power
on earth can check the progress of
northern British Columbia.
Mr. John Stark in his address
said it was 2.1 years ago, when lie
landed at Alice Arm. and the only
white men here then was Mr.
Roundy, Mr. Smith and himself.
He gave a brief history of the
Hidden Creek Mine, at Anyox, and
strongly advocated a government
testing plant in British Columbia,
for testing ores, to aid prospectors.
C. P. Reel; Mr. H. Fowler; Mr.
Ross; Mi'. M. Peterson and Mir. H.
M. Roscoe, local secretary, spoke
on the different milling problems of
the district, and the meeting closed
with the singing of the national
anthem.
The rest of the evening was
given over to singing, and everyone
spent an enjoyable evening.
Great credit is flue to Major
North in making the visit of the
Anyox members as pleasant as
possible, and also to Mrs. E. McCoy
and staff of the Alice Arm Hotel,
in preparing such an excellent
banquet.
The convention of the North
Coast Branch will be held in Alice
Arm in the fall, and it is hoped
that everyone will try and make it
a success.
ANYOX GUN CLUB

The bad weather conditions and
low visibility prevailing on Wednesday evening last, seriously
handicapped the local trapshooting

fo
ANYOX SCHOOLS
That the splendid summer weather is fraught with grave risk
of fire has been made plain to every
member of Anyox Schools,
The call for Deputy Fire Rangers
met with immediate and intelligent
response. It should afford satisfaction to know that each and every
Anyox School Student is alert to
the real danger of lire and has
undertaken to—
1. Wat'ch for even the smallest blaze
2. Extinguish it at once if possible.
H,   Report any outbreak to the nearest
adult with the utmost speed.
4. Prevent all playing with fire appar
atus.
5, Warn Other children of fire dangers
(I.   Keep   small  children  well  away
from any uonilugatioii.
The approaching departure of
two popular members of the stall',
Miss Milligan and Miss Olsen, is
causing much regret in town,
which has hold both ladies in deservedly high esteem. Miss Milligan's
forthcoming marriage is the subject
of hearty congratulations to the
lucky man and of a linen shower
given especially in her honor by
the ladies of the town.
Miss Olsen contemplates an extended visit to the Old Country
and has secured accommodation on
the palatial Aquitania one of the
largest and speediest vessels afloat.
She will be accompanied by the
best wishes of us all for a safe and
enjoyable journey.
That many a heart will break in
twa will not be allowed the journey
to mar.
Mr. Dow, the highly esteemed
teacher of Division II, who resumed work recently was hailed with
much elation by his class. This
week the mine school welcomed
back the numerous absentees who
were by no means loth to exchange
inactivity for the happy progress
of their studies under the efficient
management of Mr. Hartness.
Supplementary school reading
matter has now been authorised
and with existing loan and reference sections will furnish an attra
ctive and useful school library.
Mr. W. H, Lambert, the principal, was confined to his home
through sickness for two teaching
days last week. We are glad to
say that he was back at work on
the ?th.

ALICE   ARM   AND   ANYOX   HERALD,   Alice Abm,   Saturday, June 18th., 1921
THE MAN AROUND
TOWN
Are you on the Voter's List,?
Applications must be in the Government office, Anyox by Monday.
Colonel Crabbe left on Thursday's
boat, after giving the plant a thorough overhauling. Everyone is
now breathing u little more freely.
Rev. Hewitt and wife left for
Hazelton after 2 years service at
the Union Church here. We wish
him success hi his new sphere of
labor.
The mosquitos are getting in
their work in great old style from
various accounts we have received,
The Elk's held a very successful
smoker on Friday last. The star
bout of the evening was between
Jack Sherman and Fitzpatrick.
Jack was counted out in the fourth
round. We expect to see great
things of Fitzpatrick one of these
days.
The mothers of the town were
up in arms last Wednesday night
on account of the baseball rooters
waking up their offsprings. Boys!
take fair warning. You were
babies once upon a time.
It is reported that the Community League are contemplating
buying a few giraffes, so that those
wishing to see the tennis games
ean do so without craning their
necks.
Some folk have even gone so far
as to suggest putting a high fence
around the baseball grounds to
keep   the   sun from the pitchers
eye?.
Paddy Ryan was in the Hospital
for a few days. He is about again
now and doing well with the help
of a. cane. Yon cannot kill an
Irishman.
Many corgoes loaded to capacity
are to be seen even in our fair city
these days. Drink and be merry
boys, for soon will be the 15th. of
June.
It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good. The jitney service
are working overtime these nights.
The Vancouver Board of Trade
was in our midst on Saturday for
a few hours. Whilst here, they
visited'the smelter, mine and store,
and found we were just about as
up-to-date as the next fellow.
The mine and the Elk's had a
battle royal at the baseball grounds
last Wednesday evening. The
rooters of both teams were there in
full force. We even had a fog horn
there to warn the boys of their
mistakes.
„ The mine should have won the
game. They had it all their own
way until the 7th. innings, when
the Elk's team tied the score, making it' 5-5. Neither side scored in
the 8th. innings, and then the Elks
gobbled four runs in the 9th, and
retired the mine with no further
scoring. Ed. Swanson and his
team wended their way up home
sadder,but wiser men. Evidently
the inside dope whicli they were
giving everyone previous to the
game, was a bum steer. Shame on
you Eddy, treating the boys that
way. The atmosphere is sulphurous yet when that, game is mentioned.
Ben Selfe of Prince Rupert came
in on Monday's boat. He visited
Anyox Lodge No. 47, B. P. 0. E.
and gave a very interesting talk
on the work the Elks are doing
down in Rupert.
An exhibition game was played
on the grounds, Sunday evening,
between boys picked from the local
teams. There was a good crowd
in attendance, and Paul Armour
was deadly with the ball. In fact
four of them are still limping
around town.
The policeman, has his eye on
Sam Downs these days. Look out
Sam, he will get you yet for exceeding the speed limit with that
darned old Ford truck of yours.
The store employees will hold
their annual picnic at the Arm, on
Sunday, weather permitting. We
are looking for a good time with
the Alice Arm people, who are
regular sports when it comes to
making anyone welcome.
Monday is the last day to get on
the Voter's List.
B. C. Lightweight Cham
pionship Bout at Anyox
on July 1st.
Jimmy Gibson of Anyox and Joe
Farrell of Prince Rupert, will meet
here on July 1st. for the B. C. title.
Farrell, the present holder, comes
with a good reputation, and Gibson
who appeared in action with his
brother, at the Elk's smoker last
Friday, gave a good exhibition of
skill, speed and endurance.
If Farrell intends to retain the
title, he will have to go some,
because Gibson is working hard in
preparation for the bout. He is
out to win and the Anyox boosters
are behind him, and things will be
interesting on Dominion Day.

Alice Arm, May, 1920
The following eruption was found
in a prospectors cabin on the Kitsault. It is somewhat shaky, as
perhaps he was, after his hike, or
maybe it came after the eating of
his first bannock. Anyway, it
shows he must have spent many
winter evenings at the old Kitsault
House.
The song of the Hooter is heard in the
hills.
While the rise in the river marks the
winter snows going.      -
From the canyons and gulches of the
hinterland vast.
With their leads and lodes of native
and ruby showing. '
Gone are the days of the Hot Stove
League.
No more are the evenings when the
hot coals glowed,
To the tales of finding thousand ounce
float.
And  of the rich  ore the  last shot
showed.
Farewell, Stove, rich with wisdom of
mining lore,
Of  formations,  dips, lends, contacts
and strikes.
Of slips and gouge, folds and country
rock.
Of the nature of faults and the why of
4lykes.
Your door turns on an empty room,
And the Prospector's shack is boarded
and closed.
For the season is on and the oiitdoor's
calls,
For a summer of activity after the
winter's repose.
The pack is strapped and the  trail
beckons on.
Tis time  to  mush, and each sallies
■>    forth.
Bach having a hunch for a particular
spot,
And eiich one taking a different course.
The "Bear Hunter" is hiking with the
Clear Water fever.
"Hooter Bill" is off for the :Glacier on
the run.
"Shovel  Nose" is staking   along the
the Illiance,
And the "Dutchman" is for Jacob's
Creek with his whistler gun.
L'Bnvoi
Pederson Hill has a  billion  tons   in
sight.
Eagle   Bay   echoes  witli  a   copper
bottom sound.
McGraw mountain staggers under a
mile wide lead.
While the Spanish Mine with its ruby
glare lights up the town.
