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. 4-»4.»4"**4*<'+.«*+.•■♦.•' 4'*'4'*'4'*'4'*'4'M ALICE ARM NOTES t ♦•**♦•» 4 «' ♦*»+■•'+■••+•••♦—+»»>'»+«»"4»»' f ELK'S HOLD A SUCCESSFUL SMOKER On Friday night, June 10th, the Elks held a very successful smoker in the Recreation Hall.

Remember, Monday is the last day. Mrs. C. J. Lowry entertained at bridge, Tuesday afternoon, in honor of Mrs. D. C.

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.

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 Blue Rocks Escape The bad weather conditions and low visibility prevailing on Wednesday evening last, seriously handicapped the local trapshooting sharps, and low scores were the universal rule.

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.

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. ig League Items When Duster Mails fanned Babe Ruth his first two times up in the game pitched against the Yankees on May 16th., it was three times straight, for Mails favored him the only time he pitched to him last season. Everett Scott, short stop of the Boston Red Sox, on May 17th. played his 700th. straight game— not counting 11 world series games —In that time, he has had 4755 fielding chances of which he had bobbled 116.

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.
