New Strike of High Ore at the Dolly Varden Mine What promises to develop into a ; big strike of high grade ore, was made at the Dolly Varden Mine 1 last week. The strike was made on the surface, about 20 feet above the old workings, and is covered by a rook slide. The extent of the lend can not at present be ascertained on account of the large quantity of 'loose rock and dirt covering it, four men are at present busily engaged in clearing it off. Picked samples have assayed 267 ozs. in silver, which has been the highest obtained so far: Samples taken on a 4 ft. width have assayed 58 ozs. The ore is ruby silver and argentite, with some galena. Work on uncovering the lead will be proceeded with as rapidly as possible, and there is no doubt that the rattle of the miner's drills will again be heard at the Dolly Varden mine before the show flies. i + •t*+»*4,9*4,9,4*,4*,4*,4,—4'*t4*t4—t4 ••• "t ANYOX NOTES Dance Held at Camp Eight A delightful little Dance1 was given by the ladies of Camp 8, Mrs. R.

Dance at Alice Arm for Anyox Campers The Dance given on Tuesday evening, in honor of our visitors from Anyox who are camping here, proved to be one of the best dances held at Alice Arm. The floor was crowded with dancers, and everyone had a real good, enjoyable time* Sociability and good fellowship was the order of the evening, and everyone enjoyed themselves to the limit, as they generally do hi a pioneer mining camp, and ■Alice Arm is no exception. After the gigantic supper provided by the ladies—and by the way the dishes were piled, they are some providers—everyone was reja- dy to dance until the sun showed up over old Mt. McGraw. Music was furnished by Miss M. Stanley, who also donated the ice cream, of which there must have been pails full.. It kept the redoubtable Harry Fowler more than busy with the steaming pots of coffee,., mountains of sandwiches, and cake, and the pails of ice cream, but Harry is there every time, and no one went hungry. Mr. George Bruggy was floor manager, and as usual, was the life of the dance. Mrs. E. McCoy kindly allowed the use of the Hotel dining room for the dance, and also supplied the | ALICE ARM NOTES j -4'4***4"**4"*>4**'+'**'t'**4**'+***+***+a*'+**'4**,T Songs were rendered while the supper was settling down, by Miss M.

The government lias appropriated $300 towards the cost of a new school, and it is up to the citizens of Alice Arm to raise the balance. There will be a working bee on Sunday afternoon, to clear the four government lots on the north side of John Lulich's boarding house, for the school site, and it is hoped everyone will be there.

ANYOX BASEBALL At the end of a tiring day, a bishop was conducting a confirmation service at which there were a large number of candidates. The last to come up was an old man with a perfectly bald head. The weary bishop placed his hands upon his head in the usual manner, but in the most unusual manner was heard to exclaim os he did so. 'I declare this stone to be well and truly laid. The game on Friday, July 29th, between the Elks and mine, was a package of surprises for the large crowd who attended, and the most surprised were the Elks. Draudson and Down were the battery for the Elks, and off like a whirlwind in the second innings the Elks had ten runs against the mine's 0. There was a great ringing of cow bells, and Mr. Brown, of the mine, was advised from certain quarters to bring out a ball team. Thomas was behind the bat, and Ferguson in the box for the mine. Jimmy had an off day and requested the manager to pitch someone else. So Frank Mealy was called upon to perform at the slab., More cow bells; but Fninkie was the little boy in blue who could deliver the goods. He held the Elks down to one more run, while the miners romped around the diamond for twelve runs. Transferring defeat into victory with a score of 12 to 11. The bells had lost their tongues. The Baseball League table on August 3rd, was as follows: Played W. L. Pts. Elks 4 "3 1 750 Mine 4. ,3 1 750 Smelter 4 0 4 000 ANYOX FOOTBALL There has been no football played since Friday, July 29th., owing to rain. The last league game was. between the "smelter and Elks, which resulted!' in a win for the smelter, by 2 goals to 1, > The smelter were out practising on Wednesday night, and some promising new material was discovered. The selecting committee have their eyes on one, Barbour, who looks like the real thing, they hope to have him on the next gas- eater's line-up. He was humming to himself something which sounded like "Coax me, come and coax ine." The football league table, on August 3rd., was as follows: Pld. W. L'. Dm. Pts.

On account of the immense volume of water in the river at this time, the falls of the first and second canyon were especially beautiful. The party lunched at Copper Creek, and passed over a rough and rugged country and steep climbs to the Government road camp at Eleven Mile, where the genial cook served a delicious cup of tea to the weary travellers that cheered them on to Golden Crest Cabin, where they made their first oamp, The following morning, in spite of the threatening weather, a trip was made to Bowman Lake, where many fishermen indulge in their favorite sport. A lunch was enjoyed in the cabin by the hungry crowd. On Friday, the trail was resumed and many beautiful rivulets and miniature lakes, among fields of moss and flowers were seen, that surpass any attempt at Japanese landscape gardening. Waterfalls tumbling down from high moun-. tains on either side, added to the scene, and the roaring of the falls made a pleasant sound. At noon, the Bellevue camp was reached, and a "Delmonico" dinner was served. The cordial welcome which is extended to all travellers in the hills, makes the stops pleasing, and especially so here. The Monarch Cabin, 16 miles from tidewater, was reached at 4 p.m., where they found that some earlier traveller had built a fire and dug a water hole through the snow. This cabin is situated on the divide between the Illiance and Naas Rivers, a spot of wondrous beauty, Near by, is an immense waterfall that divides, part flowing into a field of snow and down a gorge into the Naas, and the other into a beautiful lake banked with snow and moss, then on into the Illiance River. After a day of rest, the party left early Sunday morning for a climb to the summit of Old Baldy, the highest peak of all the surrounding country. It was a long hard climb, over precipitous places, and through snow fields. The flowers; forget-me-nots and others of purple and gold were gorgeous. The pink and white heather covering the mountain sides were beautiful. Before reaching the summit a herd of mountain goat was sighted feeding on a distant ledge. A shot fired drove the herd up the steep bank of the crater side of Old Baldy and over the summit. At one o'clock, the summit was reached, where the party rested, had lunch, took some pictures, and marvelled at the earth beneath. Immense waterfalls, many lakes, including Bowman's famous lakes, blue glistening glaciers and the Naas Valley in the distance were viewed through the glasses. To the right, Mt. Theopolis could be seen, the snow-capped mountain across The Arm from Silver City, at whose base is situated the Dolly Varden Wharf and the town of Alice Arm. In the far distance could be seen the glacial topped mountain at Granby, on whose sides hung the smelter smoke. The mountains of the Kitsault and Alaska touched the horizon to the west and north. The return trip was exciting and thrilling, short cuts being made by sliding or "glasliding" down the snow fields, On Monday, the party moved to the last camping place, The Glacier. The trail to this oamp led down through a deep narrow canyon, whose sides, almost perpendicular, led up to snow-capped peaks. Here the snow and land slides had obstructed the trail with great boulders, uprooted trees and huge piles of snow. This appeared to be the favorite spot for the marmot, the bear and the wolverine, as very recent tracks were discovered in the snow. Glacier Camp is situated on the banks of a beautiful little mineral stream,' whose water surpasses in flavor all others. A trip on the glacier was made passing over and around deep crevasses and fantastic water holes. After three hours of arduous climbing, pictures were taken of ice tributaries of the- main glacier, showing blocks of ice 20 to 30 feet high. A good view was also obtained of the Glacier View mineral claim, from which valuable samples of ruby silver have recently been secured. Interesting excursions were made to the base or mouth of the glacier, where the moraines, showing the retreat of the glacier were studied. From this glacier flows the Tchitin River, one of the head tributaries of the Naas River, Reluctantly camp was broken, and the return trip accomplished in two days. A trip of this sort proves to one the grandeur of the Canadian mountains. Among the beauties noted were 50 different species of flowers, trees near timber line, years old and but a few inches high, beautiful birds, gorgeous in color and delightful in song, interesting animals whose tracks tempt one to linger on to picture them in their native haunts, To surmount all, are the grand old peaks, silent sentinels to this marvellous land of enchantment. GOVERNMENT ROAD AND TRAIL WORK Work on the Illiance River trail is going ahead. Mr. A, L. Car- ruthers, District Engineer was in town last week, and in company with Mr. George Young, made an inspection of the trail, stopping at the Bellevue Mine over-night. The trail on the north-east fork of the Kitsault River, will be extended three or four miles. The bridge on the wharf road in front of the Hotel, will be built as soon as the lumber is ready. The lumber is being supplied by Mr. C. P. Riel, who operates the local sawmill. Work consisting of four or five miles of foot trail on Hastings Arm will also be done this summer, and more work on the upper Kitsault will probably be done later on.

The excitement ran high and most of the players were on their toes" at every stage of the game. Double plays were pulled off repeatedly, and shut outs were a common oceurance. Manager Mann was urging his team on to greater efforts, and instilled confidence in his players, being cool and collected on all occasions, however, the breaks unfortunately went against them just at the critical times, and the local boys pulled out ahead by a small margin. Jimmy Dunn was unable to play for the Store team, owing to an injury received on his leg earlier in the day. Jim, however, was ready and willing to jump into the game, Don Cameron drove a homer into the creek, and Oatman also made a home run. As a base runner he is hard to beat.

It was a snappy game and the mine outplayed the Elks at every stage of the game in the first half. R. Wilkinson umpired the game satisfactory. On Thursday, the Elks and mine played baseball. We have not got over that exhibition game yet. At the end of the third innings, the game was 10 to 0, in favor of the Elks and then the fun started. Pete blew up for an innings and he was taken out, and Cody pitched: but still the riot went on, with the mine hitting all over the lot. Finally Napoleon was brought into the pitchers box again, He did good work, but had poor support in the field, the mine winning out with the score 12-11. The game was the most exciting this season, and the mine rooters are to be complimentedpn their excellent work. For once the hand bull ringers went home in a subdued frame of mind) while Ed. Swanson and his followers wore the smile that refused to fade away. Harold Davis was umpire, and his work was good, while Danny Dean on the base line kept up his reputation. , Mrs. Sam Heirin and family arrived home on Thursday, All are looking well. -Their trip done them good. Mrs. Emile Lpeske also returned from a trip to Grand Forks. Fred Myers was a visitor in town for a short while. On Friday night the Elks again lost to the smelter, the score being 2-1. The Elks, however, did not play their regular team, as some of the boys were still limping around town; but the team played excptionally well under the circumstances. The A. 0. L. Orchestra gave a dance the same evening, in the Recreation Hall. The crowd was small owing to the hot weather. The orchestra pulled off a disappearing act during their programme, which might be .left out without lowering their dignity at all. This is the lucky week for the mine. On Saturday afternoon, the office staff played a game of baseball with the office staff at the beach. From accounts received from Napoleon Draudson as an eye witness, the game was replete with plays that are seldom seen here. The score was 17-5 in favor of the mine. Charlie Gray has received a wire to play shortstop for the B. C. Elks team which is to play a game at Calgary, during their convention week, this month, Harry Chapman is all het up over it. , Walter Lang came in on Monday's boat, on business. On Sunday, the general store staff, held its annual holiday at Alice Arm. Transportation was furnished by the "Awake," "Effle" and "Wanderer," All were away from the float by 8.45, and at the Ann before 11 a.m. From there the crowd went to the Park, where a fine lunch was laid for them on a canvas on the grass, The arrangements for finding this vast and splendid aggregation, was in the capable hands of Mr. James Dunn and his assistants. They worked nobly and everyone did justice to the wonderful spread. There was a hue and cry for our chief comedian, who was reportei missing, but he was finally locate! under a spreading chestnut tree witl a sparkling glass of something whicl cheers but does not inebriate, and al was well. Then after lunch, everyone repairec to the baseball ground, where Alic< Arm were treated to an exhibition of ball that Anyox can turn out any old day in the week.
