Mr. Tavener brought with him one of the best specimens of silver ore that has yet reached town. It is about 16 inches in length and 8 inches wide. It is full of flakes of native silver, silver sulphides, and also carries steel galena. The sight of big flakes of native silver made the old-timers gasp with astonishment, and recall the early days of the camp when the Dolly Varden was showing her high grade ore to the world, proving that the north contained high as well as low grade ore. ^ As we stated last week, the high grade at the Toric was obtained at a vertical depth of 160 feet, and a distant*! of 220 feet from the portal of the tunnel' The vein was encountered within five feet of the distance antieipated. It appears that the vein has flattened out considerably at a point close to where it was encountered. The ore came in at roof first and the drill is now working in a full face of ore. The known width of the vein is seven feet, but the exact width can not be determined until the vein has been cut through. Latest reports from the mine are that the hanging wall had not been reached yesterday morning, and that the tunnel still carried a full face of ore. The tunnel is being swung to the left in order to cut the ore body as soon as possible. Present plans oaU for thirty feet of tunnel after the vein has been cut. When this has been done, drifting on the vein in both directions will be undertaken. The Homestake Mining Co. are to be congratulated on the excellent showing they have made in regard to development work on the Torio. They have built camps, moved up a large amount of supplies, and since commencing to drill, in the middle of October, have drilled 240 feet of tunnel, and incidentally discovered one of the riohest ore veins ever found in the province of British Columbia, The Torio is ideally located in regard to transportation! lying as it does on the railway grade of the Wolf, and only a mile distant from the terminus of the Dolly Varden railway. The reoently discovered ore vein is situated about 3000 feet north-east of the Dolly Varden glory hole, from which 40 tons of ore yielded 55,000 ounces of silver. During the short period the Dolly Varden was operating, it produced New Stopes Are Being Opened Up At Golkeish Mine The Golkeish Mine, near Anyox has settled 'down to the steady shipping stage, and future prospects are exceedingly bright. Extending the ore stopes to the south on the main level is being proceeded with. This vein is known to exist for over 100 feet in length, with an average width of six feet, and carrying excellent values in gold. It is expected that this vein extends for more than 100 feet, and development work will add a large tonnage of ore. Mining is being carried on by the shrinkage plan, which necessitates the breaking of all the ore, before it is available for shipment. At present, only the "swell" is being shipped. The shrinkage plan enables the miners to keep up to the ground without the use of staging. Work is now being carried on with two machine drills two shifts daily and shipments going to the Granby Smelter. Ideal conditions not enjoyed by many mining companies is the lot fbf ttfe Golkiesh Mines, situated on tide water only three and a half miles from a Smelter, with a class of ore which, beside the gold values contain such a high Silica content that it is valuable as a flux for both furnace and converter requirements of the Smelter. An incline shaft ,155 feet, and several hundred feet of drifts haze exposed a large tonnage of a good grade of ore on the lower level, but owing to lack of sufficient power this level has not been touched. Golkiesh Mines Ltd., as its name implies, is incorporated with an authorized capitalization of $100,. 000,00 of which $50,000,00 has been issued, the remaining $50,- 000.00 being held in the treasury. Mr. H. W. Heidman, a mining engineer long connected with the Granby Co. is President and General Manager. It is the intention of the company to increase the power plant at an early date when the mining levels will be carried on with large increase of shipments. Throws Out Challenge The ice at-the looal rink is now in perfeot condition and a big hockey game between the looal champs will be played tomorrow afternoon. Come and see 'em go. The looal stickhaiidlers are anxious waiting for Anyox and Stewart to trot out their best so that they can try conclusions with them. 1,639,000 ounces of silver. Without any exaggeration, future prospects on the Toric are 90 per cent, better than the Dolly Varden was, at a similar stage of development work. Turkeys Find Homes In Anyox A great number of turkey dinners were provided for last Monday evening, when the Elks held their Annual Turkey Shoot and Raffle at their Club Rooms. The Shooting Contest was started off first, and nine rounds with twelve contestants to a round was quickly ran off, the winners being Messrs. Forbes, MaoVicar, McLachlan, Morton, Mclntyre, Lee, Kirk, Ger rard and McKnight. After the smoke had cleared away the roulette wheel was started and nine more turkeys found a home for Xmas. The winners in this contest were: Mrs. Ed. Wall, Chas. Wing, Jack Greig, Jack Humphry, Jimmie Mitchell, Bud Sheen, Bill Adams, Jack Goertson, and Chas. McLachlan. It was discovered after the roulette wheel had finished, that there were still six more turkeys to be disposed of, so it was decided to roll dice for the remaining homelier birds. The best dice shooters seemed to be, Bill Adams, Jimmie Foxley, Pete Wishart, H. B. Chapman, Mel Gow, and Mike Cranley, and they soon proved their ability by walking home with the last of the turkeys. The B. P. O. Elks find that it is not very hard to find homes for twenty-five' good sized turkeys around this time in the year. Young Dancers Delight Anyox Audience At the Anglican Church Concert held in the Recreation Hall, on December lOth.the most pleasing part of the programme was the superb dancing of Miss Mabel Stevens and Miss Winnie McMillan. The former gave a really wonderful exhibition of Scottish dances, and she also delighted the audience with a number of fancy dances. This was her first' appearance before an Anyox audience, and the reception she received leaves no doubt that she will again be seen before the footlights at an early date. Miss Winnie McMillan also appeared for the first time on an Anyox stage. She danced an intricate Spanish dance, and her perfect control, poise and splendid time to the musio, marks her as a perfeot dancer. Mr. Archie Dewar accompanied Miss Stevens with the bagpipes during the Scottish dances. The Elks' orohestra were in attendance, and are to be heartily congratulated on the high standard and efficiency they have attained. The above news item should have appeared in our report last week, of the Anglican Church Concert, but unfortunately, owing to the last minute rush when mailing the report, the first page, containing the report of the dancing was omitted. However, "It's never too late to mend," and "Accidents will happen in spite of all our well laid plans."—Ed. Logging At Alice Arm Totals Enormous Figures Logging operations on the Kitsault flats were brought to a olose for this year, on Thursday, when Eric Carlson pulled his last logs, and it.is expected that the camps will close down this evening. For the fourteen months actual operating time, Eric Carlson has logged 19 million feet b.m. of lumber. In addition to this, James Trethewey logged 2 million previous to Eric Carlson taking over the camp last year. Mr. J. O. Trethewey has logged 3 million feet, this includes the logs floated down the Kitsault river this year, and the operations on the Illiance River. The above makes a grand total of 24 million feet that has been logged during the past two summers, in connection with the operation of the Abbotsford Logging Co. During the year, the Granby Co. logged over 5 million feet, which makes a total of over 29 million feet that has been logged in the vioinity of Alice Arm during the past two years. In-addition to these figures, considerable timber has been logged down the inlet by smaller camps. AH that now remains to be logged by the Abbotsford Logging Co. is eighty acres of government timber in the centre of the flats, and a fringe of timber around the foothills. J. Collins, who has been in charge of the booming, and Jim Flynn, are going to remain in Alice Arm this winter and trap on the Illiance river. Carl Johnson and Mrs. Johnson will remain in the camp and take care of the outfit. M. Graham, W. McGillivary, W. Buckley, T. Black, Dan Morrison, Geo. Gordon and others will also spend the winter in Alice Arm. Those leaving for the south oii Monday, are: Eric Carlson, Joe Wasbuck, A. Calvin, Ed. Lang, Oscar Ericson, H. F. Day, J. Anderson, T. Sevenheen, Gus Lindburg, J. Jensen, and A. A. Mitchell, government timber scaler.

Granby Co, Bonds Standard Property For $50,000 The Standard group of four claims situated on McGrath mountain, about three miles from Alice Arm have been bonded by the Granby Co. for $50,000. The Standard is owned by Messrs. Miles Donald and Wm. McLean, and large deposits of zinc have been located on the property by the owners, who have, at different times done considerable work, both by open cuts and tunneling. The property is at an elevation of 2,800 feet. Some exceptionally high grade zinc values have been obtained from the ore deposits. Samples have given assay returns of 48 per cent, zinc and 0.6 ounces of silver per ton.- The ore is a ziuo sulphide, and is ideal for concentrating purposes. The property is close to tide water and ore transportation problems would be nil. It is understood that the Granby Co. will not proceed with development work until the snow is off the ground next spring. The taking over of a zinc property marks a new departure for the Granby Co. Rumors have been heard of late, that this company contemplates enlarging their scope, and a greater interest will in future be taken in other minerals, apart from copper. Anyox P. T. A. Hold Interesting Meeting The monthly meeting of the Anyox P. T. A. was held in the New School on Tuesday evening last, Mrs. L. McAlister presiding. A communication was read from the Excecutive of the Provincial P. T. Federation announcing the fact that it had been decided to present certain requests to the Survey Commission and that Committees had been formed to gather, prepare and submit the necessary information. The following requests had been endorsed by the B. C. School Trustees Convention. That music be placed on the list of optional subjects for matriculation. That all school children be given an opportunity to learn to sing. That fewer changes be made in Text Books and a better system of distribution be inaugurated. It was also stated that a small Lending Library be formed for the benefit of those living in Rural Districts. Resolutions submitted by the Provincial Federation for eudorsa- tion or amendment by the Anyox P. T. A. called forth considerable discussion. At a former meeting Mr. Hutchinson had moved ou behalf of the Provincial Executive. .

We see its influence reflected from the many happy faces as they pass us by. There seems to be a subtle' magic in the air that is expressed by a heartier handclasp and a warmer welcome. What a joyous gladsome ring there is to that good old-fashioned wish of "Merry Christmas," that we get from our friends. "The Same to You and Many of Them." we cheerfully answer back, with a sparkle in the eye- "For Christmas is one season that takes us away from the bickerings and cares of business, and fills our hearts with human love and understanding and sympathy; and poor indeed is he whose heart or purse does not respond to its magic call. Truly, at this season, "The Bethlehem Message," is a living inspiration. The History of Christmas In the northern part of Europe the ancient people kindled great fires to their gods, Odin and Thor, and sacrifices of men and cattle were made. The ancient Goths and Saxons termed this festival or feast "Yule," and we still use the word "Yuletide" in our day. Among the Teutons this holiday season was celebrated by decorating giant fir trees. The decoration consisted of lights, nuts balls, golden apples, and animals. These were to symbolize flashes of lightning, moon, stars and sun, while the animals represented sacrifices. Christmas was not among the early festivals of the church. We find the first evidence of the feast from Egypt, according to the historians of the church, and December 25 was not the day on which it was universally celebrated. It was not until the fourth or fifth centuries that the celebration of the festival on this day spread to the east. The Nativity was celebrated December 25 at Rome before 854, and at Constantinople, not prior to 379. As paganism began to be supplanted by Christianity, many of the old customs were taken and handed down through the generations. In the Anglo-Saxon days of King Alfred the holiday season began December 16 and closed January 6. When Puritanism arose in England the fate of Christmas was threatened for a time, and even extended to this country, since the Puritans brought along with them to New England a feeling against the celebration of Chistmas. In 1643 the "Roundhead parliaments" in England put a. ban on the observance of Christmas. The court of Massachusettes in 1659 followed England's example and Christmas was put under a ban there. With the restoration of the English royalty the restoration of Christmas was brought about, and Massachusettes again followed England's example and in 1661 the ban was lifted. From that time on Christmas has remained, and is now celebrated throughout the entire civilized world.

Hold Interesting Meeting Continued from Page 1 sirous of living and serving in the interests of a peaceful world, and by so doing efface the conditions that lead to war. This had been left over fprfUrther discussion. Mr. H. D. Southam suggested that "through the elimination as far as possible in their reading and observation of all the glorification of the forces of destruction as contained in Text Books, Genera] Literature and Pictures" he added after the words—"by stimulating interest in the education of every boy and girl, man and woman." This addition was endorsed by the meeting and the resolution carried. Mr. Brown moved that "This Association is opposed to the excessive amount of homework now generously given as part of the curriculum and is furthermore of the opinion that it indicates wrong method of teaching." It was felt that the School Act was moderate ..in its demands regarding tlie amount of homework to be given, and also Homework was an important factor in the developing of the individuality of the child, where the personal supervision of the Teacher was elimihat- ed, and it was allowed to work put its own salvation. The assistance given by parents to their children in the performance of Homework was condemned as being an injustice both to the child and the Teacher. Tlie resolution movi-d l>y Mr. L: McA'listeij "That in view of the fact that certain magazines of an inferior and insidious nature are in the markets of B. C. and are being purohased by the 'teen age of boys and girls, be it resolved that this Federation go on record as being in favor of a strict form of censorship with regard to magazines of this type." This was carried unanimously. The vexed problem of Bible Reading and Teaching in the schools was fully discussed. It was pointed out what a great influence the Bible had on the development of our literature. Citizenship and Home Life, how having the Bible taught iu schools would be the solution to many of the problems confronting our present generation and the appalling ignorance of the literature of the Bible among our children. It was passed that we suggest 'That the School Act be so amended as to permit of one public school period per week being allotted for Biblical instructions, when such instructions could be arranged to be given by accredited Bible Teachers, independent of the School Teaching Staff and of the ordinary Educational funds," Refreshments were served by Mrs. Scott, and the meeting concluded by singing the National Anthem. „t.,.,i.iiiiniiini.i'.s..t"t"»"t"i"""'l«' Hemstitching, Picot Edging, Plain Needlework, and Gingham Dreeses, a Speciality Mrs. M.

Gasoline Tax For This Year Likely To Reach S440.000 The silver fox farming industry in Prince Edward Island is now yielding an annual cash revenue of over $2,000,000, and producing excellent profits for the farmers. The pelts sent from the Island to the last fur auction in Montreal realized the highest prices. The gasoline tax, which came into aifect on January 1, 1924, has brought into the provincial exchequer $366,385, up to October 31. Should November and December produce revenue from this source in like proportion, the gasoline tax for the year 1924 would amount to approximately $440,000 A man seeing the notice "Iron Sinks'' in a show room, went inside and said that he was perfectly aware of the fact that "iron sinks." Alive to the occasion, the shopkeeper retaliated, "Yes, I know, and time flies, but wine vaults, also sulphur springs, jam rolls, grass slopes, music stands, moonlight walks, rubber tires, and the organ stops." "Quite true," agreed the wag, "but you've forgotten one thing. "What's that?" asked the shopkeeper incautiously. ''Marble busts," replied the visitor, sweetly, as he bowed himself out of the door.
